MedEntry runs HPAT Courses throughout the year. To find out when the HPAT Courses are being offered in your city, click here.
Please enrol in a HPAT Course that is available. HPAT Courses are added periodically and you can easily change the date of your Course later (see Can I change the date of my Course for more details).
We encourage you to attend a HPAT Course even if you have to travel a long distance. Many students from overseas attend HPAT Courses as well because there are several benefits of attending. For example: in addition to reading, it is beneficial to hear from an expert to reinforce the content; interaction with other like-minded students will help develop your thinking; the HPAT Course provides networking opportunities with motivated and able students; it will significantly boost to your motivation; some inside knowledge/ information is provided in the HPAT Course which is not available elsewhere; numerous HPAT sample questions and efficient, effective and elegant ways of arriving at the answer will be discussed; the skills learnt in the HPAT Course will be invaluable for high school/uni study in addition to HPAT.
In the evaluations, students say that they did not use the resources on the LMS and did not know how to efficiently and effectively use them until they attended the MedEntry HPAT Course. Invest in your future by enhancing your thinking skills.
At the HPAT Course you will also be given the opportunity to sit a trial HPAT exam, based on which you will receive predicted HPAT scores. Students find this unique information extremely valuable in planning their year and the HPAT preparation, including which sections to focus on.
