Medify’s mock exams are designed to emulate the actual UCAT ANZ exam.

Every aspect of the exam is carefully mirrored, including question types, difficulty, and the number of questions. This helps you to gauge your readiness for the UCAT exam.

Medify provides 24 full mock exams as part of its UCAT ANZ Online Course.

We’ve updated all of our mocks and mini-mocks to reflect the latest UCAT ANZ changes.

Utilise progressive simulation

Students are often anxious to work out their current level, so they quickly jump from doing a few practice questions to full mock exams.

It's like mum always said, right? Run before you can walk! (Think again...)

The UCAT ANZ is all about keeping stress levels low and taking it gradually. This means working your way up to full exams, known as 'progressive simulation'.

Medify provides shorter diagnostic mocks with all UCAT ANZ courses (mini-mocks), which allows students to assess their readiness and ability without having to take on the full mock exams. You can even do full section run-throughs before trying any timed tests.

Manage your expectations

Even with progressive simulation, the mock exams may prove to be nerve wrecking for you. This can be compounded if you see a lower than expected mock score that can lead to disappointment and further anxiety.

Therefore, it's important to manage your expectations. It's likely that the first few mocks may have some hiccups due to the heightened level of focus and speed that must be maintained. Accept that the first few mocks may not be the best reflection of your final performance.

As you progress through more mock exams, you will not only get a taste of what the final exam may be like, but also find your performance improving gradually.

Emulate every aspect of the UCAT ANZ

The official mock exams and Medify’s mock exams are virtually identical to what you will get on test day in terms of the testing platform, types of questions, and duration.

However, to get the best reflection of your performance in the real exam, we recommend going one step further to emulate the testing environment as much as possible (see the infographic below).

This means that when you sit the real UCAT ANZ, it's just like another mock exam. Consistency compounds and these small routines will go a long way to reducing anxiety and the fear of the unknown on the day of your UCAT ANZ.

Should I use a hard mock exam to prepare for the UCAT ANZ?

There is no advantage to using harder mock exams instead of realistic mocks. Unrepresentative mocks are problematic because they can provide you with a wrong impression of the exam and lead to you feeling demoralised. This can negatively affect your motivation, progress made, and final UCAT ANZ score. 

Medify's mock exams are continuously updated by our team to ensure they reflect the most accurate UCAT ANZ exam experience possible. 

Reflect on your mock UCAT ANZ results

Since the UCAT ANZ averages scores across different sections, weakness in a particular section will reduce the final score. Hence, it is essential to allow time for reflection to identify your weaker sections after every mock. 

We recommend setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely) to have a specific target to achieve. This will then dictate the time and work required in-between mocks.

For example, if you scored low in the Verbal Reasoning section, you may set a goal to increase the section score by 10% in the next mock exam. Reflecting, revising, and working on practice questions after each mock to achieve SMART goals will help to improve your final UCAT ANZ score.

Medify’s performance dashboard and mock timing statistics also offer useful insights on your performance, so make sure to try out these features.

You'll get access to 20,000+ questions, 24 unique full mock exams, 34+ mini-mock exams, 50+ hours of video tutorials, and performance feedback. We're also constantly updating and improving our mock exams and question bank to offer you the most test-like experience.
