What is a good UCAT score?
A good UCAT score is 2,140 or more: the top 20% in the final 2026 results. 2,250 is the top 10%. The average was 1,918. In 2025, the top 20% and top 10% started at 2,100 and 2,220.

The final 2025 numbers
| UK 2025 final statistic | Cognitive total |
|---|---|
| Mean | 1891 |
| 50th-percentile cut point | 1880 |
| 80th-percentile cut point | 2100 |
| 90th-percentile cut point | 2220 |
Totals run from 900 to 2700. SJT is a separate band. Totals before 2025 included Abstract Reasoning, so they do not compare.

Worked example Interpret a total
Isha's section scores are 680, 700 and 730, with SJT Band 2. Where does she sit in 2025?
Why this works: 680 + 700 + 730 = 2110: between the 2025 80th and 90th percentile cut points. Band 2 stays separate.
Why the tempting route fails: Adding the SJT band to the total mixes two different measures.
