Hey guys,
Thought it might be helpful for some perspective from someone who has used Medentry and got in the 95th percentile (im not trying to brag i mean as in it worked well for me).
Does it work- I like to think so, i agree that it tests your method of thinking so it is harder to prepare for BUT I started using it in march/april and i know for a fact i did far better by the end than at the start. It's really helpful in recognising patterns in the questions and how to tackle them. It is FAR HARDER than all sites make it out to be (the UMAT that is) and you feel far more prepared after a course like this. Another point is those who would probably do well in the UMAT are serious abotu medicine and are therefore more likely to use a program like medentry so they might be inclined to go well anyway. Basically, i know people try to say it doesnt help but it undoubtly helped me heaps and many others, it's funny seeing how much worse you would have gone if you hadnt done it by the end.
When to start- whenever you want id say but id reccomend around january-april...otherwise you dont get the full potential, i wish id started a little earlier so i wasnt rushing through some of the last exams...tehn again dont start on medentry 2 years early or anything because you'll use up ur practice exams too early (of course u can always use all the practice drills over and over)
Price- expensive, worth it if your serious and willing to put the time in (imo)
why it helps- you get unlimited drill runs on each section, practice exams, stats on u versus everyone else, percentiles, forums with everyone else (really helpful and keeps you motivated), really good interview guide...more stuff im forgetting now
I dont work for Medentry, i just remember searching for this sort of advice myself at the start of the year and want to try to pass it on
If you want any more info etc feel free to PM me ^-^
Good luck!
