Please enrol in a UCAT Course that is available. UCAT Courses are added periodically and you can easily change the date of your Course later (see the FAQ "Can I change the date of my Course" for more details).

We encourage you to attend a MedEntry UCAT Preparation Workshop. 

But don't just take our word for it, check out the hundreds of glowing Google and Facebook reviews of our workshops posted by our happy and successful students. We have more and higher ratings than every university! MedEntry's Sydney, Melbourne and Ireland offices have over 1300 reviews at a star rating of about 4.8+, far exceeding that of any university.

Three of the main benefits of the MedEntry workshop are:

1. Learn strategies for approaching the UCAT questions

The study guides on the online LMS (Learning Management System) do provide detailed approaches to different UCAT question types, but it is always more effective to be taught this information than simply to read it yourself – after all, according to the psychiatrist William Glasser, we learn 10% of what we read, but 50% of what we see and hear!

The UCAT workshop highlights what kind of approaches to questions are the most important, and what types of UCAT questions are the most common. This allows you to make the most of all the resources provided by MedEntry, and perform as well as possible on the UCAT. In evaluations, MedEntry students say that they either did not use the resources on the LMS, or did not know how to efficiently and effectively use them, until they attended a MedEntry UCAT Preparation Workshop.

Additionally, some inside knowledge and information that is not available elsewhere is provided at the UCAT workshop. You will also find that many of the skills that you learn at the UCAT workshop are transferrable, and useful for school and university study.

2. Motivation 

Attending a MedEntry UCAT Preparation Workshop provides motivation to perform well on the UCAT, as it can make the whole UCAT process feel clearer and more real.

You will also interact with students with similar interests and passions. This is a fantastic opportunity for developing your thinking and forming new friendships and study groups, as well as a great source of motivation.

3. Mini-tests, and a further full-length online trial exam

The course aims to demonstrate the best principles and strategies needed to succeed in the UCAT. Students attending the workshop attempt short mini-tests in each UCAT section to give the students hands-on experience and allow the lecturer to clearly demonstrate the application of speed and accuracy techniques to each type of question found in the UCAT.

Students will also attempt a further full-length test on a simulated computer platform at a specific time, exactly as in the real UCAT.

This is immensely helpful for a number of reasons:

- You will have a much better idea of what to expect from the experience of sitting the actual UCAT exam.

- You will be able to see how your scores compare to fellow MedEntry students, and how they are predicted to compare to those of everyone taking the exam.

- You will be able to determine your strengths and weaknesses; on what sections you need to focus the most, how to plan your UCAT preparation, and how to plan your approach in the UCAT itself. Remember that wherever you are currently at is just a starting point; it’s incredible what it is possible to achieve with practice – and MedEntry provides all the resources to allow you to practice in the most effective way possible!

Further benefits of the MedEntry UCAT workshop include:

• Learn how to use the LMS efficiently and effectively
• Invest in your future by enhancing your thinking skills that will be useful throughout your career
• Interact with other like-minded students which will help develop your thinking skills
• Discuss numerous past UCAT questions and efficient, effective and elegant ways of arriving at the answer

Attending a MedEntry UCAT Preparation Workshop is an invaluable opportunity that will allow you to achieve your best score possible on the UCAT.
