development of effective data extraction tools has been undertaken.

5 Interviewed

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry.  The University has a

Dear Brendan,

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated
23/01/20

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your questions below and set out
our corresponding responses.

May,  I request a further breakdown of the UCAT scores. Within the
spreadsheet please include  UCAT subtest scores for verbal reasoning,
decision making, quantitative reasoning, abstract reasoning and final UCAT
score, for each candidate.

The breakdowns you have requested can be found in the attached
spreadsheets. However, we are unable to marry this data with the previous
data you requested. This is due to a change in the way that the School of
Dentistry records, processes and analyses its data.

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry.  The University has a
Freedom of Information Complaints Procedure should you feel dissatisfied
with this response or the way in which your request was handled.
Complaints must be made in writing and must set out why you believe the
University has not met its obligations under the Freedom of Information
Act.  You may email your complaint to [1][email address] where
it will be forwarded to the Director of Strategic Planning and Governance
who will be responsible for overseeing the review.
