MedEntry UMAT Prep

About us

Who are we?

MedEntry UMAT Preparation is an organisation committed to helping students enter health science courses such as medicine. We are a team of academics, doctors, health science students and professionals with experience and expertise in test development, measurement and analysis. We have used our collective knowledge of entrance procedures (such as the UMAT) and the health profession to create a comprehensive program. This internationally trusted program has been remarkably successful in helping students achieve their goals.

Why choose us?

There are numerous reasons why MedEntry has become synonymous with 'UMAT Preparation' and some of these are listed below:

MedEntry is the only UMAT preparation institution with an extensive and unparalleled bank of questions, resources and course techniques developed for UMAT over a period of over thirty years. We have over 10,000 questions, over 1,000 pages of preparation materials, thousands of forum discussions on the UMAT and more, accessible via our easy to use Learning Management System (included in all of our packages).

MedEntry has been training students for tests identical to the UMAT for far longer than any other preparation program. We are an internationally trusted educational institution. MedEntry has therefore become synonymous with UMAT preparation.

MedEntry specialises in UMAT preparation (it's the only thing we do!). We can therefore provide you with the most up-to-date, focussed and quality preparation. Many School/Uni Tuition schools offer UMAT preparation as an 'additional extra' whereas MedEntry is focussed entirely on ensuring you succeed in this very important exam.

MedEntry is the only institution which runs courses in all major cities in Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. It is also the only organisation which offers comprehensive instruction over two full days (rather than one day as some do).

MedEntry is a Division of the Australian & New Zealand Institute of Education (ANZIE), a Government Accredited Institution which provides educational services for those making the transition between secondary and tertiary education. MedEntry is accredited by the International Test Training Accreditation Council.

MedEntry is also a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and its Australian national registration number is 21914. Hence MedEntry is the only UMAT training institution which is entitled to use the .edu. rather than .com. for its website domain, much like a university.

Further, MedEntry's UMAT course is the only UMAT course nationally accredited by the Government (Course Number 21818VIC). MedEntry offers its services to students throughout the world, and has offices in Seattle, Chicago, Birmingham and Singapore.

MedEntry is licensed and audited by:

  • ANTA, the Australian National Training Authority
  • VRQA, the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority
  • ASQA, Australian Skills Quality Authority
  • OTTE, the Office of Tertiary Training and Education
  • DE&T, the Department of Education and Training

MedEntry is recognised by:

  • NTIS, the National Training Information Service
  • VET, Vocational Education and Training
  • NCVER, the National Centre for Vocational Education Research
  • ACPET, Australian Council for Private Education and Training providers
  • EdNA, the Education Network Australia
  • ACIR, the Australian Career Information Register
  • Skills Victoria, Australia

MedEntry complies with:

  • AQTF, the Australian Qualifications and Training Framework.

No other UMAT training provider is an RTO and no other UMAT course is accredited by the Government. MedEntry is therefore like a university or school in terms of the standards it has to meet.

Obtaining an RTO status and having a Course accredited is a long, expensive and arduous process. The Registration process involves satisfying nine AQTF Conditions, three Standards and numerous VRQA Guidelines. The Course accreditation process requires a similar stringent validation process. You can therefore be confident that the services provided by MedEntry are validated and have demonstrable outcomes.

The UMAT two day courses and the interview preparation courses are run by Dr Edward Boyapati, an academic with over thirty years of experience teaching in Australian universities. He has published several articles on educational research and has delivered numerous papers/keynote addresses at several International Teaching and Learning Conferences. He has received numerous awards for excellence in teaching. Dr Boyapati has been training students for tests such as the UMAT for over two decades. Among his successful students include his own children, both of whom were offered places in all medical schools and held Scholarships for Excellence to study Medicine, which are awarded to the best incoming student each year. They are not only the youngest doctors to be accepted into the training programs of the most competitive of medical specialties, but have also won medals for obtaining the top score in the state in the specialist training theory and clinical exams. Ed will aim to pass on to you the advice he gave his children which contributed to their unparalleled success. Ed comes from a family of 23 doctors.

We are the only UMAT preparation course run by academics, doctors and professionals. We have experience and expertise in test design, development and analysis.


MedEntry UMAT Prep is an initiative which was made possible as a result of generous support from The Foundation for Young Australians.

Description: Description: UMAT Practice

We have been given a grant by The Foundation to enable us to offer our program. The aim is to enhance youth participation and create opportunities for the development of young people. Specifically the venture aims to help young people keen to pursue a career in the health sciences, especially those who are traditionally under-represented.

Our Practice Exams are considered the best by far among UMAT preparation courses. This is because they are comprehensively and meticulously researched and written by experts with a thorough knowledge of the real UMAT (see item under News). They are updated regularly to reflect changes that occur in the UMAT. Our resource materials include thousands of questions for you to practice on. Unlike other UMAT preparation courses, all of MedEntry's questions come with fully worked solutions.

MedEntry is a division of the Australian & New Zealand Institute of Education (ANZIE), an accredited organisation which provides educational services for those making the transition between secondary and tertiary education. MedEntry is accredited by the International Test Training Accreditation Council.

Our approach is holistic. We realise that entering health science courses is not simply a matter of sitting the UMAT. We are with you every step of the way. MedEntry UMAT Prep "imparts the learning skills that students take with them for life" and "provide[s] focused, quality preparation". Our "training is geared towards making you a better person, with better reasoning and problem-solving skills, and emotional intelligence" (from FOCUS, the Australian Doctor magazine, April 2005, p23).

Our success rate is outstanding. A survey of a random sample of students who have been through our full training program showed that 92% were offered interviews, and 88% were offered places in one or more medical schools. Feedback statistics show that 99.1% of our customers would recommend MedEntry’s services to their friends. Here at MedEntry UMAT Prep, our reputation is based on results. Over 95% of our customers come through word-of-mouth referrals.
Many MedEntry UMAT students go on to achieve perfect scores in Year 12. In fact, most students who obtain perfect Year 12 scores and want to pursue medicine/health sciences have done MedEntry's course.
