Strategy-first UCAT preparation, built from the inside out.

A structured UCAT programme built on 5 years of dedicated teaching and an in-depth personal study of every major preparation system — so you go into the exam with one locked-in strategy per question type, not a drawer full of conflicting approaches.

The strategy difference, in numbers.

The national UCAT median sits at 1,950. Our students' median in 2026 was 2,360 — placing them at the 93rd percentile. The difference isn't talent. It's having a locked-in strategy for each of the 20 question types before the exam starts.

Strategy-first vs question-bank approach

Insider knowledge, not just more questions.

Five years of teaching, sitting the process myself, and collecting real-time exam feedback from students who have just sat — here's what that experience reveals about effective UCAT preparation.

9 UCAT courses completed personally
Deep comparative knowledge of every major strategy system — so I can tell you which approaches actually work and which create hesitation under pressure.
Real-time student feedback on this year's exam
I collect structured feedback from students who have just sat — so preparation strategy stays current, not based on outdated question banks.
🎯 Latest tips straight from this year's UCAT
VR Most passages were 3–4 paragraphs in length. Some question banks use longer passages that don't reflect the real exam structure — don't over-prepare for those.
DM Logical puzzles were less straightforward than official banks. Syllogisms required strong pattern recognition across All/Some/None combinations — vague statements, not clean-cut ones.
QR Higher frequency of mean/median/mode and percentage questions. Efficient skipping on calculation-heavy questions was the key differentiator — don't burn time on QR outliers.
SJT Notably manageable for students with a clear grasp of primary and secondary ethical values. Framework understanding beat memorisation every time.
KEY The biggest mistake: treating more questions as better preparation. Without a locked-in, consistent strategy, scores fluctuate wildly. Strategy first, volume second.

Everything included in the course.

A comprehensive, structured preparation system — not a collection of resources. Every element is designed to build accuracy first, then speed.

All 20 question types covered
Complete dissection of every UCAT question type across VR, DM, QR and SJT — strategy, worked examples, and the traps most students fall into.
2.5 hours of live teaching per week
1.5-hour live strategy session + 1-hour evaluation session every week. Active, structured teaching tailored to your patterns — not passive lecture.
Guided practice + strategy personalisation
1 hour of structured homework per week. Not just drilling questions — guided practice with strategy modification based on your individual weak points.
Access to 4,000+ practice questions
A bank of over 4,000 questions to build fluency and test strategy under realistic conditions across all four subtests.
3 full mock tests
Three timed, full-length mock exams to simulate real UCAT conditions, track your score progression, and identify remaining gaps before exam day.
All lesson recordings provided
Every session is recorded and made available so you can revisit any strategy, re-watch worked examples, and review at your own pace between sessions.
Consistent evaluation sessions post-course
Free evaluation sessions continue after the course concludes — ongoing progress monitoring and strategy refinement right up to your exam date.
Progress tests at Week 10 & Week 16
Structured mid-course and late-course progress tests to assess strategy retention, identify remaining gaps, and recalibrate preparation before mock test phases.
Pre-lesson test before the course begins
A short test before each lesson to strategically analyse weaker question types — so the course targets your specific gaps from the very first session.
Free interview preparation workshop
A dedicated workshop covering MMI and panel interview technique, ethical frameworks, and medical school-specific interview formats — included as part of the course.
Free Med/Dent applications & counselling workshop
Guidance on medical and dental school applications, personal statements, and admissions strategy — a free workshop to support students through the full admissions process.

Structure that builds real competence.

Every lesson follows a two-part format designed to take you from understanding a strategy to executing it under exam conditions.

First half of every lesson

Strategy Dissection

Deep breakdown of the strategy and key information for each question type. Not tips — a complete, reproducible approach you can lock in and execute consistently under time pressure.

Second half of every lesson

Personalised Practice

Guided practice using the strategy just covered, with real-time observation and feedback. Where your approach diverges from the optimal path, we modify it to suit your individual reasoning style — not a one-size-fits-all template.

Weekly — throughout the programme

1-Hour Evaluation Session

A dedicated weekly evaluation session to revisit difficult question types, consolidate strategy, and address any gaps from the previous week's practice. Separate from the main lesson — focused entirely on reinforcement and progress checking.

From diagnostic to exam day.

Free diagnostic consultation

A live strategy demonstration where students and parents see a real question type worked through — then attempt it themselves to experience the accuracy and speed difference firsthand. No commitment needed.

Structured preparation

Weekly 2.5-hour sessions (1.5hr strategy + 1hr evaluation) covering all 20 question types with pre-lesson tests, guided homework, and personalised strategy modification throughout.

Mock tests + refinement

Three full-length timed mocks to track score progression and sharpen strategy under real exam conditions.

Post-course evaluation

Consistent evaluation sessions continue after the course ends — monitoring progress and refining strategy right through to your exam date.

What past students say.

Students from high schools and universities across Australia — and their parents.

See the difference before you decide.

The diagnostic consultation is free for both students and parents. A live strategy example is worked through in real time, then the student attempts it themselves — you see the accuracy and speed difference firsthand, before any commitment.

Frequently asked.

Any student planning to sit the UCAT — whether you're in Year 11, Year 12, or a university student applying to graduate medicine. The programme starts from the foundations and scales to advanced strategy. Students at all starting levels have benefited, from complete beginners to those who have already attempted practice questions.

No. The course is built to take you from zero — covering all 20 question types systematically, beginning with accuracy before building to speed. That said, if you have already started, the pre-lesson test and personalised strategy modification ensure the programme adapts to where you actually are.

Sessions run live-online, which means students from anywhere in Australia can participate. Lesson recordings are provided after every session so you can revisit any strategy or worked example at any time.

Structured teaching is covered over 24 weeks with two weekly sessions, followed by mock test phases, then evaluation sessions right up until your exam day. The total timeline is aligned to when you're sitting the UCAT — we plan backwards from your exam window.

More questions without a consistent strategy produces fluctuating scores — 60% one mock, 40% the next — because you're approaching the same question type differently each time. This course builds one locked-in approach per question type, personalised to how you specifically reason, so performance becomes consistent rather than variable.
