Australia’s Most Comprehensive Medical and Dental Interview Preparation

Dear Future Medical Student, it’s been a long journey. The countless practice questions, all the classes, tests and exams have led to this. Knowing there’s just one thing left: the interview. We get it; medical entry interviews can be brutal. Students with 99.95 ATARs and 2500+ UCATs can miss out, while students with 97 ATARs and 2000+ UCATs can get in. How? Because the 1-hour interview can be worth as much as your ATAR or UCAT.

Why Interview Preparation is Your Competitive Edge

Almost everyone takes the ATAR and UCAT seriously, yet interviews are often overlooked. But it isn’t about luck on the day, it’s preparation. Preparation is what can make the interview your competitive edge. It can turn everyone else’s biggest weakness into your greatest strength. There’s no better opportunity to stand out.

Practice is essential for interview preparation, but simply relying on practice for such an important interview is a risk you don’t want to take. The most effective practice uses near-identical practice stations to the real interviews, with personalised expert feedback.
