This was my first proper taste of a formal interview setting, and it really opened my eyes to the kinds of questions you don’t usually expect. Not just the usual 'Why medicine?' or 'Why not nursing?'. It gave me the chance to practise thinking on my feet in unfamiliar scenarios.
The feedback was especially helpful, I often wasn’t sure how to improve my answers, but the interviewers gave me clear suggestions and ideas on what else I could include.

The station topics, formats, and questions felt really realistic.
They were actually very similar to the ones I faced in my real interviews. The feedback was clear and constructive, and it helped me pinpoint specific areas to work on, like managing my time better and using more examples.
I was able to improve on those weaknesses and felt much more confident going into my interviews. Overall, it was a really valuable experience that gave me an accurate sense of what to expect.

The mock interviews were great overall, and the immediate feedback after each question was super helpful.
The focus on reflection and drawing lessons from my experiences really stood out. It ended up being a key part of my real interviews, and the interviewers during the mocks made sure to highlight that.
This made me feel more confident and prepared for the real interviews.

The UCAT course broke everything down in a way that actually made sense.
I used to get overwhelmed just looking at the Verbal Reasoning section, but the tips and shortcuts really helped me approach it strategically. My score improved way more than I expected.

I liked how the course wasn’t just about throwing practice questions at you. It actually explained the ‘why’ behind each strategy, so I could use them flexibly across different question types.
Felt way more prepared going into the test.

I kept coming back to the UCAT guide throughout my preparation. It was like having a mini mentor in PDF form!
Everything was written in a straightforward, student-friendly way that didn’t feel overwhelming.

Between the UCAT course and the application booklet, I felt like I had everything covered.
Both gave inside info from people who have already been through it all. Definitely worth it.
