Year 11 & 10 Medical Entry Workshop: UCAT 2019 Overview, Interview, Med School Apps & Voluntary Work

MADE FOR 2020 & 2021 CANDIDATES: This event is the ultimate free workshop designed to help jumpstart the preparation journey of students sitting UCAT in 2020 and beyond!

Part One: UCAT EXAM REVIEW

Since the UCAT requires students to complete even more questions in even less time, it is far more demanding than the UMAT. THis means that you cannot afford to make as many mistakes, as you do not have time during the exam to recover. Based on the experiences of the Year 12s who sat the UCAT this year (the first time it was held in Australia), most students have been seriously running out of time because they are underprepared, having started on UCAT preparation far too late. Therefore, iCanMed is committed to making sure that 2020 and 2021 candidates know what preparation they need to do, and when they should be doing it. A strictly FIRST-IN, FIRST-SERVED basis applies for attendees.

Coverage:

• You will receive and complete a timed mini-mock test containing all prominent UCAT question types found in the most recent UKCAT exams.
• You will be taught the specific line-by-line working behind how to solve every question to ensure accuracy on test day.
• Feedback will be given to highlight the most significant mistakes students frequently make, which lead to slower completion times and solving errors.
• Additional advice regarding test-taking methods will be revealed.

Part Two: MEDICINE/DENTISTRY ENTRANCE GUIDE FOR ACING THE UCAT, INTERVIEW & VOLUNTARY WORK

If you want to beat the competition, then you do not want to miss this part of the workshop. We will be introducing:

• A timeline behind your UCAT preparation so that you can COMPLETE it before the beginning of the 2020 academic year.
• The in's and out's of the medical interview from the perspective of medical school interviewers, preparation requirements, exemplar questions with answers, and the most common mistakes that people make on the big day.
• An investigation into the purpose of medical applications and the importance of voluntary work.
• If you are dead serious about gaining entrance into medicine or dentistry in 2021 or later, this is the workshop that will kickstart your success.

iCanMed is all about making sure that all students receive the best advice, recommendations and strategies for UCAT preparation. With over 800 past students currently studying medicine across medical schools in NZ and Australia, as well as a team of assessment writers, educators and former medical school selectors, learning about the UCAT and gaining acceptance has never been this straightforward.
