Ace your medical or dental interview with a proven system

This is a myth promoted by universities to prevent you from preparing, because if you do prepare, their job becomes harder.

If you believe this myth, try watching a stand-up comedy show by the same comedian two days in a row. You will see that the seemingly 'random' thoughts which pop into their heads, which makes their lines so funny, are exactly the same. They have been rehearsed and practised hundreds and perhaps thousands of times. No one would say that stand-up comedians come across as rehearsed! Jerry Seinfeld, for example, takes one line of delivery and works on it for days, polishing the intonation, delivery, pitch etc. Yet when he comes on stage, it seems natural.

MedEntry's Medical Interview Training Sessions are designed to help you prepare effectively for your interview and come across in a natural, genuine manner.

Yes!

95% of students who have undergone our full training program have been successful in obtaining a place in one or more medical schools. Psychometric and personality tests (such as the UCAT and interviews) rely on the fact that the candidates do not prepare, so testers/interviewers actively discourage candidates from preparing. They do this by propagating various myths such as: preparation does not help; it will be a waste of resources; preparation may hinder your performance; interviewers are trained to pick up those who are coached, etc. Accredited testers/interviewers know that such organisations go to great lengths to place fear in candidates to ensure they do not prepare, precisely because preparation works!

If it is really true that you can't prepare for interviews, universities should have no objection to interview preparation (rather than actively discouraging students from preparing). Even if there is evidence that answers come across as rehearsed, interviewers have to give you the benefit of the doubt (they will assume you are smart/motivated to prepare and think about the relevant issues).

The Casper test is an online test that aims to test a student in the following: collaboration, communication, empathy, fairness, ethics, motivation, problem solving, resilience and self-awareness.

Casper has two sections: a video section (with up to 4 scenarios) and a typed section (up to 7 scenarios). After watching a video, students are asked two questions. Students must record themselves answering each question and have one minute per question. In the written section, students are asked two questions per scenario. Students must type their answers within three and a half minutes for the two questions.

The test takes 65-85 minutes to complete.

The Casper test is crucial if you’re applying to Curtin medicine (undergraduate), Notre Dame (post graduate) or Wollongong (post graduate) because these universities use the results to choose which applicants to interview. By assessing how you would react to certain situations, the test helps schools find applicants that are best suited to a career in medicine.

Casper is a hybrid between a Situational Judgement Test and medical interviews. Therefore, practice with both styles of questions (provided by MedEntry) will help. Our interview training packages include an innovative, interactive MMI question bank which allows students to video record their answers. This provides valuable practice for the Casper test.

Unfortunately you will need to purchase the MMI bank + Interview Guide first in order to purchase interview tutoring.

You can sit a full, university-specific mock interview and engage with realistic AI avatars. Through this session, you'll practice your skills in real time, and attempt a variety of questions. Every mock interview is followed by detailed, expert human feedback, so you know exactly how to improve and stand out on interview day.  Your mock interview is tailored to the exact course you’re applying for, ensuring you’re familiar with the format, expectations, and question styles used by each university.

Interview tutoring includes 5 hours of one-to-one online / virtual tutoring with an interview tutor. Your tutor will help you perfect your interview technique and provide personalised feedback on your responses.
