What
does MedEntry provide?
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 HPAT and helping students tackle interviews.
MedEntry's products and services include:
• Full length HPAT practice exams with fully worked solutions
• Two day workshops that train students for the HPAT
• Guides that cover all three sections of the HPAT, general strategies for tackling the HPAT and information on how to perform exceptionally well in interviews
• One-on-one tuition for the HPAT
• 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 HPAT, which means you do not need to do any other preparation, which may waste your time and/or mislead you.

Feedback statistics show that 99.1% of our customers would recommend MedEntry’s services to their friends. Here at MedEntry HPAT 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 preparation helpful.
Psychometric and personality tests (such as the HPAT) rely on the fact that the candidates do not prepare, so testers 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; 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!
