Comprehensive UCAT Courses and Packages
Adelaide's Only Face-to-Face UCAT Preparation Course
MedPrep is Adelaide’s only face-to-face UCAT preparation provider, running courses from our Campbelltown and Mitcham locations as well as online. Built by a doctor and taught by tutors who’ve sat the UCAT themselves, our courses give Year 12 students aiming for Adelaide, Flinders or UniSA medicine the structured practice they need to walk into exam day ready.
Why MedPrep?
Structured Course, Not Just a Question Bank
Most UCAT providers sell on-demand question packs and leave students to work out the rest. MedPrep runs a structured weekly course, so students know what to work on, understand why an approach works and learn from their mistakes with a tutor alongside them.
Hybrid / flexible learning model
Our Pulse Online Learning Platform replicates the functionality of the official UCAT system while spaced learning algorithms intelligently test you on the topics you have the most to improve in.
Expert Instructors
All our workshops and classes are run by inspirational tutors with years of experience delivering high quality medical and dental entry exam preparation courses.
Comprehensive Question Bank
All of MedPrep’s questions have been written specifically for the UCAT, and cover all the types of questions that have been seen in previous years’ exams.
What Is The UCAT?
The UCAT, or University Clinical Aptitude Test, is an additional admissions test required for entry to a selection of medical, dental and clinical science programs in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. The test is unlike many other entrance exams, and helps universities to select applicants with appropriate critical thinking, problem solving and professional behaviours required for new doctors and dentists to be successful in their clinical careers.
Start Early. Build Confidence.
Enter Exam Year Ahead.
UCAT success is built through repetition, strategy and time-pressure confidence. Headstart gives students the foundation before the pressure begins.
How We Approach It
Face-to-face UCAT Courses
We offer two UCAT class options – UCAT Classes and UCAT Headstart Classes.
The UCAT Class is designed for students taking the UCAT within the next 12 months. In this course, we prioritise both speed and accuracy to help you prepare for your UCAT. Students will practice thousands of questions under timed conditions to become familiar and confident with the exam and to be exam ready.
Our UCAT Headstart Course is specially designed for those students in school years 10 – 11 who are looking to begin their UCAT preparation early. Through this course, students will go through thousands of practice exam questions and discuss techniques for solving all such questions and more.

What does MedPrep offer?
MedPrep offers structured UCAT preparation with regular teaching, guided practice and support from tutors who understand the journey into medicine and dentistry. Our two programs meet students at different stages: UCAT Headstart builds foundations early, while MedPrep UCAT prepares students for their intended test year.
What is the difference between MedPrep UCAT and UCAT Headstart?
Choose your course around when you intend to sit UCAT, your current skills and the support you need.
| MedPrep UCAT | UCAT Headstart | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Preparation for the approaching UCAT test | Early foundation building before the main preparation year |
| When to choose | Sitting UCAT within the next 12 months | UCAT is more than 12 months away |
| Weekly sessions | 45 sessions of 2 hours | 45 sessions of 1.5 hours |
| Total teaching | 90 hours | 67.5 hours |
Which course is right for me?
If you plan to sit UCAT within the next 12 months, choose UCAT Main for focused preparation as your test approaches. If your UCAT is more than 12 months away, choose UCAT Headstart to build foundations early. Use your intended test date, rather than school year alone, as the starting point. If you are unsure, or the course has already started, we will help you choose based on your readiness, previous preparation and the current course stage.
When should I start preparing for UCAT?
You can start earlier than most people think. Reasoning, reading accuracy and problem-solving skills can be developed before you are eligible to sit the official test. Early preparation should be steady and age-appropriate, with time to learn from mistakes. Headstart provides a structured way to begin without treating every week as an examination countdown.
Can I join after the course has started?
Often, yes. Our courses follow a structured teaching schedule, so entry depends on places, the stage of the course and your previous preparation. Contact us with your intended test date and we will look at the time available, your current performance and the areas that need attention. We may recommend joining an appropriate phase or waiting for the next suitable intake.
How does MedPrep’s structured UCAT preparation work?
A large question bank gives you material to practise. A structured course helps you decide what to work on, understand why an approach works and review errors productively. MedPrep combines regular lessons with guided practice so students can build skills progressively and develop a consistent preparation routine.
Lessons combine explanation of UCAT question types and strategies with practice and discussion. As students progress, timed work and examination preparation become increasingly important.
Who are the MedPrep tutors?
Our UCAT tutors are current medical or dental students who achieved high UCAT results and have been through the application journey themselves. They bring first-hand experience of preparing for UCAT while managing school commitments. Their role is to explain strategies clearly, guide practice and help students learn from their mistakes.
Can I attend in person or online?
Both. MedPrep offers face-to-face classes at our Campbelltown and Mitcham locations in Adelaide, plus online access for students studying from home, including interstate students. Check the current course information for venues, class times and availability, or contact our team to confirm the arrangements for your preferred class.
How much do the courses cost?
For current tuition fees, any enrolment fee, payment options and applicable terms, visit the relevant course page and open the latest information package.
If you are joining after the course has started, contact MedPrep for the fees applicable to your agreed starting point. The official UCAT examination fee is separate.
How do I enrol?
If you already know which course suits you, enrol online here. Not sure yet? Contact MedPrep with your current school year, intended UCAT year and preferred learning format. We will help you identify a suitable course and explain the timetable, availability and next steps.
