Introduction

Everything you need to know about calculating your UCAT Decile and working out your rank amongst your cohort in 2024.


Use the deciles to calculate your chances of succeeding in your medical or dental school application in 2024. 

🏫

What are UCAT Deciles?

A decile is a tenth of the scorers of an exam.


The 1st decile indicates the top 10% of test-takers. The 10th decile indicates the bottom 10% of a test cohort.


Please see the table below for the UCAT deciles of the past seven years. Remember that a good score is dependent on each university - you must try to balance this with your other grades and work out which university is best for you and your grades.


Often when employing UCAT cut-off scores, universities such as Keele University may say “only UCAT third decile and above will be considered”.


Please speak to one of our UCAT tutors if you are stuck.


Please note: Final 2024 UCAT results can be found here. To see how each university uses the UCAT, please see our UCAT University + Cut Off Guide.

UCAT Decile Calculator 2024

You can use the table above to help calculate your UCAT decile. Simply add up your score from each of the four UCAT sections, then use last years data (or an average of them all) to help calculate which UCAT decile you would have scored in the past year.


Use your score to compare it to ucat deciles in 2024, ucat deciles in 2023,  2022 and ucat deciles in 2021. As you can see, due to it being a standardised exam, the deciles generally stay consistent every year, and we would expect this to remain the same for the 2024 entry.


There is no need to work out your UCAT score within each subsection of the UCAT, instead, deciles are generally calculated per your total UCAT score.


Many universities employ a UCAT cut off score that requires you to have a UCAT score in the third decile or above. This implies that your score must be in the top 30% of candidates in a year.


This is why it is paramount that once you have your final UCAT score and are looking to apply to universities, in particular, applying to medical school, you carefully research which universities have which preference for UCAT scores


This will allow you to guess what the UCAT deciles for the 2025 entry would be. You can find a summary of the latest UCAT university information per university here.

UCAT Quartiles

What is a UCAT quartile? A quartile is a 25% section of distribution, i.e. the top quartile indicates a UCAT score in the top quarter of candidates in that cohort. Therefore, there are four quartiles. It is uncommon for universities to generally split candidates into quartiles for the exam.

🩺

How do UCAT Interim Deciles compare to UCAT Final Deciles (Using 2023 and 2024 entry as an example)

As you can see using the table below, the actual thresholds dropped by around 50-60 points in 2022, 2023 and 2024 (for 2025 entry) between the interim and final UCAT decile thresholds.


This is roughly consistent with what we have seen year on year at TheUKCATPeople.

UCAT Percentiles

What is a UCAT percentile? A percentile indicates what proportion of ranks are below your UCAT score. A 90th percentile UCAT score would indicate that your UCAT score was better than 90% of your cohort. A 99th percentile UCAT score would indicate that you are in the top 1% of UCAT candidates in your cohort.
