Question 2

I’ve just bought a new package. How can I reset my past questions?

Purchasing a new package does not automatically reset your attempts from your previous package. You can reset your attempts in one of two ways.

You can reset your own attempts by following the steps below:

While logged into MedEntry’s Online Learning Platform click your name/avatar in the top right corner and click on ‘Settings’
Click on ‘Reset Past Attempts’ and choose what you want to reset

Contact MedEntry and ask us to reset it for you along with what you want to reset.

UCAT Workshop*

Question 4

When is the best time to begin preparation for UCAT?

Accepted Answer

When to begin UCAT preparation is a difficult question and one that is very individual.

Many students prefer to get started early given that: a) they realise they are going to be exceptionally busy in year 12 and b) they realise how important the UCAT is (i.e. often as important, or even more important, than ATAR)

Around 25% of our students are in year 11, and 10% are in year 10, and continue their preparation into year 12. Getting started early means reducing the stress/workload in year 12 when students will have less time for UCAT study. Furthermore, the skills required to succeed in the UCAT are best developed over time.

There are various options available to you.

Option 1: You may choose to purchase a package that begins from the moment of purchase until you sit the UCAT exam. For more information see: https://www.medentry.edu.au/ucat-headstart

Option 2: On the flipside, of course, cost may be an issue. We offer students access to online materials until the end of the next UCAT cycle (mid-August). After that, to continue to access materials, you would need to re-enrol. MedEntry provides students who have enrolled in MedEntry in the previous year an automatically applied Last Year's Student Discount. Please see: https://www.medentry.edu.au/pricing#ucat-packages

Our strong suggestion is to start early, if possible. The Premium Package (which includes a workshop run by Dr Ray) is important to do at some stage as the workshop offers an excellent run-dow

Question 5

What is the Casper Test?

Accepted Answer

Casper stands for Computer-Based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics. The Casper test is crucial if you’re applying to Curtin medicine (undergraduate), Notre Dame (post graduate) or Wollongong (post graduate) because these universities use the results to choose which applicants to interview. By assessing how you would react to certain situations, the test helps schools find applicants that are best suited to a career in medicine. The Casper test is 90–110 minutes in length. It requires students to respond to open-ended questions concerning the given scenarios, which are presented both in writing (students write three responses over five minutes) and as videos (students record two one-minute videos). MedEntry helps students prepare for Casper: Casper Training

Question 6

Refund/Return Policy

Accepted Answer

Returns, refunds or exchanges will not be provided unless there are exceptional circumstances and the decision whether to provide a return, refund or exchange is solely at MedEntry's discretion.

The UCAT consortium of universities may at any stage decide to change the requirements for entry into medicine and other health sciences including changing the actual test required for entry - MedEntry is not responsible for these decisions and these decisions do not constitute 'exceptional circumstances' and thus will not be eligible for refunds (although MedEntry will amend preparation materials as appropriate). More broadly, any events outside MedEntry's control are not considered 'exceptional circumstances'.

To apply for a refund in any situation (whether they relate to goods or services), a request in writing will need to be provided to MedEntry stating your name and contact details, the full history of the transaction in question, a detailed list of reasons why you are requesting a refund/exchange, the contact person that you have dealt with from MedEntry, copies of all relevant documents related to the situation and any other documents. Refunds will only be considered if a request is made in writing (by email or letter) within one week of the date of purchase.

All requests for refunds will incur an administration and banking surcharge of at least 20%. Credit may be given, at our discretion, to other MedEntry courses or products after cancellations. Refunds for individual com
