This final lesson focuses on understanding SJT band scoring, what each band means for your medical school application, and — most importantly — how to improve your band from 3 to 2, or from 2 to 1. It also covers common mistakes, the review process, and how to approach mock SJT practice for maximum benefit.
| Band | Meaning | Percentage of candidates (approximate) |
|---|---|---|
| Band 1 | Consistently demonstrated awareness of the most appropriate course of action | ~25–30% |
| Band 2 | Generally demonstrated good judgement with occasional discrepancies from ideal responses | ~35–40% |
| Band 3 | Showed some awareness of appropriate responses but with notable gaps | ~20–25% |
| Band 4 | Frequently demonstrated responses at odds with professional expectations | ~5–10% |
Your total marks across all 69 questions (with partial credit) are converted into a band using cut-off scores that are determined each year through a standard-setting process. The exact cut-offs vary annually, so there is no fixed "score" for each band.
