  • How long do I have access to the UCAT training packages for?
    Our Australian and New Zealand packages follow the UCAT cycle, which means they run from early August until mid-August of the following year. Please note that if you purchase a single-cycle package at any time during this period, it will still expire in August at the end of the current UCAT cycle. If you are not in your final year you may wish to consider purchasing a Headstart (multi-cycle) package which provides access from the date of purchase until your UCAT exam - https://www.medentry.edPopular
  • Can I upgrade my package?
    You can upgrade yearly packages at any time before the package expiry date. To upgrade a package, simply log in into your account, click on your name and then select Shop. From there you can select a package and pay the difference in price. To upgrade a Headstart package, you will need to contact our office. You will only need to pay the difference between the two package prices at the time of the upgrade.Some readers

  • I have a MedEntry package - how do I start preparing for the UCAT?
    For guidance on how to prepare for UCAT, please go to the Learn section of your account and work through Module 1: How to prepare for UCAT. This module will help you plan your preparation, and avoid common UCAT preparation pitfalls. One of the most common mistakes students make is saving practice exams until later and focusing too heavily on the QBank. You should complete your first practice exam early, and space out your practice exams throughout your preparation, right up until the UCAT.Few readers

  • Why are MedEntry's UCAT resources only made available online?

  • What do I do when I’ve finished everything on the Online Platform?
    Very few students complete everything on the online platform. Those who do are generally the students who start preparing early, often in year 10, or those who rush through the resources without taking the time to review, reflect on and discuss questions. If you have sufficient time, you should ideally spend at least 20 hours on each practice exam. This imcludes thoroughly reviewing every question after completing the exam and discussing any difficult questions with a group of friends. If you feFew readers

  • How many hours should I spend on UCAT preparation?
    The number of hours you spend preparing for the UCAT is less important than how effectively you use that time. The most effective way to begin your preparation is to complete a full-length practice exam under timed conditions early in your preparation, identify your weakest areas so you can focus your preparation where it is needed most. As a general rule, we recommend setting aside approximately 10% of your overall study time for UCAT preparation.Few readers
