Western Sydney University builds its own UCAT score that appears to weight Verbal Reasoning most heavily. Using an estimated 60% VR split, enter your total and VR score to get your weighted score out of 900 and see where you sit for an interview.
The sum of your VR, DM and QR scaled scores, out of 2700. Situational Judgement is not counted.
Your VR scaled score, out of 900. On our estimated weighting VR is worth 60%, more than DM and QR put together.
WSU applies a different interview threshold depending on where you live.
Enter your total and VR scores above to see your weighted score and interview likelihood.

Open the UCAT Score CalculatorDisclaimer: WSU does not publish how it weights the UCAT. The 60/20/20 split used here is our estimate, based on analysis of past applicant data, so treat the weighted score as an approximation rather than an exact figure. The interview likelihood bands are also estimates based on recent application cycles. WSU does not publish exact cut-offs and they change each year, so treat the bands as a guide rather than a guarantee.
These figures are predictions, not results. If you decide to start or continue paid preparation, whether with Voyager Academy or with any other provider, based on a result from this calculator, you do so on your own judgement and we do not take responsibility for that decision or its outcome.

Most universities look at your total cognitive score, but Western Sydney University appears to build its own score out of 900 by weighting the three cognitive subtests differently. WSU does not publish the exact split. Based on analysis of past applicant data, it looks like Verbal Reasoning carries around 60%, with Decision Making and Quantitative Reasoning around 20% each, and Situational Judgement left out. This calculator uses that estimated 60/20/20 split.
Because DM and QR are weighted the same, this calculator only needs two numbers from you: your total cognitive score and your VR score. Your combined DM and QR is simply your total minus your VR, which is all the formula needs. In practice the weighted score works out to 0.4 × VR + 0.2 × total.
Because VR appears to be weighted so heavily, your overall percentile can be misleading for WSU. A strong VR score lifts your weighted score well above what your total alone would suggest, and a weak VR drags it down. If WSU is your target, VR is the subtest worth the most preparation time. Our WSU Medicine guide covers the full selection process.
Once you clear the ATAR threshold, your ATAR plays no further part. WSU sends roughly 450 interview invitations each year, decided only by your weighted UCAT score. The thresholds differ by applicant category, which is why this tool asks where you live.
After interviews, the final offer is based 75% on your interview performance and 25% on your weighted UCAT score.
WSU does not publish how it weights the UCAT. Based on analysis of past applicant data, it appears to build a score out of 900 that weights Verbal Reasoning around 60%, Decision Making around 20% and Quantitative Reasoning around 20%, with Situational Judgement left out. This calculator uses that estimated split.
DM and QR are weighted the same, so the calculator only needs their combined value. That value is your total cognitive score minus your VR score, which means your total and VR are all it needs.
It depends on your category. As a rough guide from recent cycles, GWS applicants become likely around 770 and above, non-GWS NSW applicants around 806 and above, and interstate applicants need roughly 851 or higher to be in contention. These are estimates, not official cut-offs.
The 60/20/20 weighting is not published by WSU. It is our estimate based on analysis of past applicant data, so treat the weighted score as an approximation rather than an exact figure. The likelihood bands are estimates based on recent cycles and should be read as a guide.
