MedEntry UMAT Prep is a Registered Training Educational institution committed to helping students enter health science courses such as medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy and pharmacy. We are a team of academics, doctors and professionals with expertise in test development, measurement and analysis. We have used our collective knowledge of entrance procedures and the health profession to create a comprehensive course, which has been remarkably successful in helping students achieve their goals.
MedEntry is far the best preparation course available - for reasons why, please click here.
Who are the sponsors of MedEntry?
| MedEntry was made possible by
a generous grant by the Foundation for Young Australians, a non-profit
organisation committed to enhancing youth participation and creating
opportunities for the development of young people. Specifically,
MedEntry aims to help Australian youth keen to pursue a career in
the health sciences, especially those who are traditionally under-represented. |

MedEntry's approach is holistic. We realise that entering a health science course involves much more than simply doing well in high school or university. We guide students through the whole process – providing information on university admissions procedures, training students for the UMAT and helping students tackle interviews.
MedEntry's products and services include:
• Full length UMAT practice exams with fully worked solutions
• Two day workshops that train students for the UMAT and interviews
• Guides that cover all three sections of the UMAT, general strategies for tackling the UMAT and information on how to perform exceptionally well in interviews
• One-on-one tuition for the UMAT and interviews
• Full length simulated interviews
• Day long interview training sessions
• Extra preparation material and drills – including over 10 000 practice questions
• An online Learning Management System (LMS) which provides instant feedback
• Online forums to enable discussions in real time
• Application reviews
• Continuous student support by email, telephone and fax
The resources provided by MedEntry are much more challenging than those provided by others. Some other courses last only one to three days - MedEntry's lasts for up to 12 months. Since our course is by far the most popular, more able and motivated students enroll in our courses, so students have the unique opportunity to interact with more students on online forums and at the workshop, thereby enhancing their thinking skills. We realise that most of our students are in the final year of school and are very busy. Our program is comprehensive and focussed on UMAT, which means you do not need to do any other preparation, which may waste your time and/or mislead you.
The only other resources we suggest you purchase are the UMAT Practice Questions from ACER. MedEntry does not recommend any other practice materials or resources

Feedback statistics show that 99.1% of our customers would recommend MedEntry’s services to their friends. Here at MedEntry UMAT Prep, we are result orientated.
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.
A recent AMSA (Australian Medical Students' Association) survey found that most students found UMAT preparation helpful.
Psychometric and personality tests (such as the UMAT and interviews) rely on the fact that the candidates do not prepare, so testers/interviewers actively discourage the candidates from preparing. They do this by propagating various myths such as: preparation does not help; it will be a waste of resources; preparation may hinder your performance; interviewers are trained to pick up those who are coached; that there are some questions in the test/interview which are designed to detect if you try to second guess; it will work against you; it will disadvantage you; we can tell if you prepare etc. Accredited testers know that such organisations go to great lengths to to place fear in the candidates to ensure they do not prepare, precisely because preparation works!
MedEntry UMAT Prep will also significantly improve your school/uni score for several reasons: it will enhance your motivation to study; hone your thinking skills and it will make you a more efficient and effective learner which is invaluable for high school, university and throughout your life. In fact, most students who obtain perfect ATAR have done the MedEntry course.
