Att: Parents whose children are considering a career in medicine and/or dentistry
Students considering a career in medicine or dentistry during Year 12 will need to sit a compulsory entry exam known as the UCAT (University Clinical Aptitude Test) before they can apply for relevant placements in the aforementioned fields of study within most universities in Australia.
Year 12 Students
If your child is sitting the UCAT in 2024, the ‘NIE Simulated UCAT Day’ will help fast-track UCAT preparation, especially if your child has not done much work yet. Even if the student has been preparing already, the workshop is a great opportunity to attain some additional strategies and to also assess personal readiness by attempting a UCAT difficulty level trial test, which will be provided as part of the training. If your child has not started UCAT preparation yet and requires training resources, then please have a look at the Comprehensive UCAT Course.
Years 10 – 11 Students
The ‘NIE Simulated UCAT Day’ workshop is also beneficial for Year 10 and 11 students who are considering sitting the UCAT in the future. The ideal approach to preparing for the UCAT is to start low-frequency and high-consistency preparation in the early stages of senior high school years. While students can and will have to still spend some time preparing during Year 12, it would be much better if the bulk of the UCAT preparation has been completed before the start of the busy Year 12 schedule. This way, the candidate would only need to spend about 1-2 hours per week practising maintaining UCAT pace, rather than spending more time on the ongoing UCAT preparation and stressing about the Year 12 work. Therefore, we recommend officially starting UCAT training by participating in our full-day intensive UCAT preparation workshop (Simulated UCAT Day). Or if you wish for your child to start with complete UCAT training already, then please have a look at the Advanced or Comprehensive UCAT Course.
