Three quick steps
How to Use the UCAT Percentile Calculator
- 1
Find your total. Use a current UCAT cognitive total between 900 and 2700.
- 2
Enter the score. Official UCAT scaled scores are reported in 10-point steps.
- 3
Read the result carefully. Boundaries are official; values between them are interpolated estimates.
Only have raw marks from a practice paper? Start with the main UCAT Calculator to estimate a scaled score, then return here to understand its percentile position.
Rank, not marks
What Is a UCAT Percentile?
A percentile describes how a total score compares with candidates in the same test cycle. Reaching the 80th-percentile boundary means the score was at the point below which roughly 80% of candidate totals fell. It does not mean 80% of questions were answered correctly.
UCAT results vary from year to year. This calculator uses the final 2025 distribution because it is the latest complete UK cycle and the first after Abstract Reasoning was removed. It does not predict the final 2026 distribution.
Nine published boundaries
UCAT Deciles Explained
Decile thresholds divide the candidate distribution into ten equal groups. UCAT publishes nine boundary scores: the first is the 10th-percentile boundary, the second is the 20th-percentile boundary, and so on up to the ninth at the 90th percentile.
The official table reports boundary ranks rather than a separate “10th decile” row. A total at or above 2220 reached the 2025 ninth-decile threshold and sat in the top 10% band.
Official 2025 final data
UCAT Percentile Table: Official Decile Thresholds
These nine total-score thresholds are reproduced from the UCAT Consortium’s final 2025 statistics. They are boundaries, not a score-by-score percentile table.
| Official decile threshold | Percentile boundary | Minimum total score |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | 10th | 1580 |
| 2nd | 20th | 1680 |
| 3rd | 30th | 1760 |
| 4th | 40th | 1820 |
| 5th | 50th | 1880 |
| 6th | 60th | 1950 |
| 7th | 70th | 2010 |
| 8th | 80th | 2100 |
| 9th | 90th | 2220 |
Top-decile note: Scores at or above 2220 reached the official ninth-decile threshold. The official table does not publish a 100th-percentile boundary.
