How it's scored and how offers are made
- Your UCAT SJT band counts as one MMI station in your interview score.
- SJT points: Band 1 = 5, Band 2 = 3, Band 3 = 1.
- Your final score combines academic screen score and interview score, weighted 50:50.
- Applicants are ranked and the highest ranked receive offers.
- Your scores are never shared with you.
