Choose the subtest
Select Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making or Quantitative Reasoning. Each has a different maximum and its own anchor pattern, so the label stays attached to the number.
UCAT 2026 SCORE REFERENCE
UCAT Conversion Table
Use the UCAT conversion table to check how a raw mock mark may map to an estimated scaled score. Choose a cognitive subtest, enter a correct-answer mark and compare the visible reference anchors. This is a study aid, not an official score report.

01 · LOOK UP A RAW MARK
Convert a UCAT raw mark to a scaled score
Select Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making or Quantitative Reasoning, then enter a whole-number raw mark. The lookup interpolates between transparent anchors so you can review practice performance without confusing a percentage with a scaled score.

03 · USE THE TABLE WELL
How to use the UCAT conversion table
A UCAT conversion table is most useful when you keep the subtest, raw mark and denominator together. Follow the short workflow below, then use this conversion table and its reference rows to compare practice sessions without treating a mock estimate as an official result.
Enter correct answers
Enter the number of correct answers from your mock. Use a whole number between zero and the displayed maximum; do not paste a percentage or include SJT.
Compare the estimate
Read the scaled estimate with its range and data note. Save the raw mark as well, because a future reference update may change the estimate.
A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
From raw marks to a reviewable estimate
Suppose a mock gives you 24 correct answers in Verbal Reasoning. Select that subtest and enter 24. The lookup places the mark between the published-style anchors used by this study tool and returns an estimated scaled score of about 590. Repeat the same process for Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning, then use the main calculator if you need a cognitive total.
Always record the total number of questions. A raw mark without its subtest is not a reliable comparison.
READ THE OUTPUT
What this UCAT conversion table shows
The UCAT conversion table lookup is intentionally explicit: you can see the raw mark you entered, the selected cognitive subtest, the estimated scaled score and the reference range. That makes this conversion table easier to audit than a hidden percentage formula.
Cognitive total
The number you enter is the combined scaled total for Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning. The valid range is 900 to 2,700, and SJT is excluded.
Percentile context
The calculator places the total between visible reference anchors and returns an approximate percentile label. It describes relative standing in a reference context, not the percentage of questions answered correctly.
Decile context
The decile groups the approximate percentile into a broader band. It is useful for a quick practice summary, but it should not be treated as a university threshold or an admissions prediction.
Year and limits
Every result keeps the selected data label, checked date and estimate disclaimer visible. This makes it easier to notice when a new official statistics release should replace a planning reference.
REFERENCE DATA
UCAT raw-to-scaled conversion table
These UCAT conversion table rows are transparent study anchors for the current-format cognitive subtests. They illustrate the shape of a conversion, but they are not a replacement for official equating or a score report. Use the lookup above for values between anchors.

Different forms can vary in difficulty. Treat every row in this conversion table as an estimate for practice review and check official UCAT statistics before making an application decision.
INTERPRETATION
Raw percentage is not a UCAT scaled score
Raw marks tell you how many questions were correct. Scaled scores place that performance on a common-looking scale so test forms can be compared more consistently. Because form difficulty and equating matter, multiplying a percentage by a fixed number is not the same as using a UCAT conversion table.
The table is useful for planning: it can show whether a mock result is moving upward and which subtest needs attention. It cannot prove an official score, a percentile, a decile or a university cutoff. Keep the raw mark and the selected test format in your notes so later comparisons remain honest.
LIMITS AND PRIVACY
Accuracy, versions and sensible use
This page runs in your browser against visible reference anchors. It does not reproduce official question-level equating or future cohort statistics. The 2026 label identifies the study context; it does not turn an estimate into an official 2026 conversion table.
No name, email, application details or uploaded report is requested. Input is used locally for the calculation. Confirm the official score report, current UCAT format and current statistics before relying on a result for an application.
CHECK THE SOURCE
Verify current UCAT scoring information
Use the official UCAT pages for the current test format, scoring explanation and published statistics. This independent table keeps its assumptions visible and avoids presenting a mock estimate as an official conversion.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
UCAT conversion table FAQ
These UCAT conversion table answers explain raw marks, scaled scores, denominators, interpolation, year labels and the limits of an independent study tool.
How do I use a UCAT score to find a percentile?
Enter the combined scaled score for Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning, from 900 to 2,700. Select the year context, calculate, and read the percentile beside the data note. If you only have raw correct and total marks, use the main UCAT score calculator before using this focused lookup.
Is the percentile result official?
No. The result is an independent study estimate based on visible reference anchors and the selected context. Your official UCAT score report and the current official test-statistics page are authoritative. Do not use an estimate as proof of a score, cutoff or admission outcome.
Does percentile mean I got that percentage of questions right?
No. A percentile is a relative position against a reference group. A result around the 77th percentile means the score sits around that position in the selected context; it is not a statement that 77% of the questions were correct. Raw percentage and scaled score are separate concepts.
What is the difference between percentile and decile?
A percentile gives a more specific relative position, while a decile places that position into one of ten broader groups. Both describe context rather than a guaranteed university outcome. The calculator shows them together so you can read the precise-looking estimate and the broader band with the same caution.
Can I add my SJT band to the cognitive total?
No. SJT is reported as a separate band and is not added to the 900–2,700 cognitive total. If your result includes an SJT band, keep it separate when reviewing the percentile and decile context for the three cognitive subtests.
Why does the 2026 option mention a 2025 reference?
The page distinguishes the current-format year context from the statistics that are actually available for reference. On the checked date, it did not invent a final 2026 percentile table. Keeping the 2025 reference label visible is safer than presenting an unsupported number as a current official statistic.
Will this predict my chance of an interview or offer?
No. Percentile context is not a cutoff, an interview calculator or an admissions forecast. Universities can use different policies, cohorts and additional requirements. Use your official score and the current admissions guidance for the universities you are considering.
