I would not hesitate to recommend Medic Mind to anyone thinking of applying for medicine. I used Medic Mind for UCAT, BMAT, and interview help and it was the best investment I made.

Honestly this is the best UCAT scheme available. The whole group were so supportive and replied instantly, from Max to Mohil. The UCAT tutors were great too, especially Cathy and Steph.
Danial N
Scored 860
The Medic Mind team have been an integral reason for me securing 4/4 offers. I booked 30 hours, which was a good amount for UCAT and used their great videos alongside.
Sara S
Scored Top 10%
I had 6 hours of 1-1 with Medic Mind, which have been incredibly helpful. Everybody is friendly, knowledgeable and keen to help even if you are short for time.
Maryam A
These have specific strategies that really improved my scores. Not only that, but it is very affordable (especially compared to the majority of courses for the UKCAT and BMAT which are heavily overpriced) and the price is for unlimited access to the courses.
Sophie A
With the recent change from UMAT to UCAT, we were worried about how much companies in Australia would know about the UCAT. This is why we turned to the UK and were lucky to find Medic Mind!
Seren

Jessica L
Brilliant resources, really broke down the ucat and bmat exam down into the different sections and gave great tips for the various problems: especially abstract reasoning in ucat and essay writing for bmat. Highly recommend!
Daniel S
This course provided great tips and tricks for the UCAT exam, I would recommend it for any med-school applicants. It helped me understand each aspect of the exam and went through in detail how to answer each question style.
Haider S
The question sets were motivating and challenging, while still remaining similar to the real thing. In order to improve I would personally recommend spending more time on individual slides to give a better chance for mentees to make important notes.
Caelan
The course I was given really boosted my confidence regarding the UCAT, as it informed me of numerous techniques on how to deductively choose answers for questions, guided me throughout the fundamentals of each section, and taught me how to prepare for this extremely important test.
Ahmad A
Thank you so much for helping me out. Went from 60% confidence to 100% so thank you again. The UCAT techniques were unique which I could not find in my books.
Karen C
As a parent who did not have experience of UCAT previously the advice and support that was demonstrated by medic mind was second to none. Their approach was one of nurturing and care as well as achieving results.
