National benchmark, for context

For context, the UCAT Consortium's own 2025 statistics report a mean cognitive score of 1891 (out of 2,700) across 41,354 tests, with the median (5th decile) at 1880 and the top decile at 2220+.

UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025

Standard A-level offer: Standard offer A*AA, requiring grade A in Biology or Chemistry plus grade A in one of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics or Psychology; practical endorsement required in linear science A-levels. GCSE requirement: English Language and Maths at grade 6/B. SJT policy: Taken into account when shortlisting alongside the overall UCAT average, but no specific SJT band or numerical cut-off is published. Worth knowing: King's publishes one live requirements page without a distinct year label for each cycle, so this is treated as the current standing policy rather than tied to a specific 2026 or 2027 label. No contextual offers are made for this programme, though contextual information informs holistic review. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
