Frequently Asked Questions

The cost depends on the package you choose to buy, whether it is the Premium - Individual, Premium - Group, or Comprehensive Package. Note that all packages also include access to an extensive system of online resources, which are essential to get the most out of the workshop.

More details about the various MedEntry packages available can be found on our pricing page.

MedEntry runs online UCAT Workshops throughout the year. Please see our Workshop page for details.

Please enrol in an online workshop that is available. Workshops are added periodically and you can easily switch the date of your workshop later (see the FAQ "Can I change the date of my Workshop?" for more details).

The MedEntry UCAT Preparation Workshop is highly rated and designed to help students maximise their UCAT performance. It teaches effective strategies for tackling questions, highlights common question types, and helps students use online resources efficiently. The workshop also boosts motivation by connecting students with like-minded peers and providing insights from current medical students. Through mini-tests and practical exercises, students gain hands-on experience with speed and accuracy techniques. Overall, it offers valuable skills, insider tips, and networking opportunities to support success in the UCAT and future studies.

The UCAT and interview preparation courses are run by doctors and professors with decades of teaching experience and UCAT expertise.

For more information on your workshop lecturer, please see our UCAT Workshop page .

A timetable is available for the MedEntry UCAT Workshop.

Starting and finishing times are subject to change so you should refer to the email that is sent to you before your UCAT course for exact times.

The course aims to maximise the amount of time demonstrating principles, techniques and strategies to tackle the UCAT questions, and how best to use the online platform for UCAT Preparation. Students attending the workshop will therefore attempt a short Mock UCAT so that the lecturer can demonstrate techniques to optimise speed and accuracy.

The pack contains a UCAT test simulation notebook and marker.  The notebook and marker is modelled on the laminated notebook and marker provided at the live UCAT. Using this notebook and marker during your UCAT practice will help you get comfortable with this aspect of the UCAT test day experience.

Note: It is important that students make sure their postal address is up to date in their personal details so that the notebook and pen pack is not returned to MedEntry.  

Packs posted overseas do not arrive, or arrive in a damaged condition. For this reason, the Notebook and Pen packs are only available for Australian and NZ students. 

A couple of days prior to your workshop, you will receive an email with details that outline the start/end times of your workshop.

You can find a preliminary timetable here (Note that timings are subject to change):
UCAT Workshop

If the live UCAT is the Olympics, MedEntry courses represent your coach and training, and what you do at home is similar to going to the gym to work out before you come for training. So we advise some preparation before attending the workshop.

To find out which Workshop you are enrolled in, please follow these steps:

1. Login into the MedEntry website by clicking the "Login" button on the top right hand corner.
2. On the left, select Live Teaching and then the workshop option.
3. From here you will be able to see all of your current and past bookings. 

If a workshop is shown as "Full" and you feel that is the only workshop that you can attend due to other commitments, please enrol in another "Open" workshop and email us with a request to transfer you to the workshop shown as "Full".

We will make every effort to ensure that your request is accommodated.

Yes, you can change the date of your workshop, as long as the workshop you would like to move into is not full.

In order to change the workshop that you are enrolled in to a different workshop, please follow these steps:

1. Login into the MedEntry website
2. Select Live Teaching and then the workshop option.
3. From here you will be able to see your current booking. 
4. Click on the "Move" button and select a different workshop to change your booking

Note: once a workshop has started, you will no longer be able to change your booking. If you are unable to attend, please contact us and we will move your booking to a more suitable date.

Please do not panic. There is no need to phone us either.

Please simply send an email letting us know which online workshop you would like to attend instead, and we will arrange it for you.

Similarly, if you are running late, there is no need to call. Just join the online session when you can.

You may attend any Workshop that is convenient to you. However, we recommend avoiding attending workshops during the January, April and July school holidays as these workshops are heavily booked.

Some students feel that they need to attend the workshop before they begin the work on the Online Platform.

This is generally not a good idea.

To gain the most from the workshop, we recommend that you complete some work on the Online Platform first (including completing 1-2 full length practice exams).

However, if you are in younger year levels, you would like to gain a general insight into UCAT or would like motivation, attending a workshop first may be suitable.

  • Login into the MedEntry website by clicking "Login"
