When to begin preparation

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-down of techniques, is motivational and provides mini mocks, analysis and discussion.

Whatever you decide to do, we look forward to helping you succeed in the UCAT.
