Established in 2006, Prep Zone Academy™ has helped hundreds of students get into the top medical schools in the UK, Singapore and Ireland. We help students with all aspects of the application, from school research and shortlisting to test prep (UCAT, BMAT, ISAT & PQA), personal statement editing and interview preparation.
Prep Zone Academy has resumed operations at both Singapore locations and has put in place protocols to safeguard public health and minimise the risk of community transmission of COVID-19.
The UCAT, BMAT & Medical Schools Introductory Webinar is a free 1.5-hour webinar, designed to help new candidates to have a better understanding of the UCAT & BMAT – two standardised test commonly required for medical programs in the UK.
In this webinar, we will cover the basic test format, expected question types, review official questions & answers from the test, and give you the best tips on how to prepare for the UCAT & BMAT. We will also be covering the application timeline & requirements for medical school admissions.
For all applicants to local medical schools, interviews play a huge role in the application process. Both Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and LKC School of Medicine host Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI) (also called Focused Skills Assessment by NUS) on campus in April.
Prep Zone Academy will be conducting simulations this March where you will be exposed to near-identical conditions that you would encounter in your medical interview.
We have limited seats to ensure that you get the most out of it! Priority will be given on a first-come first-served basis.
As some of the most competitive programs, all medical schools are definitely looking for stellar high school grades. Moreover, to distinguish between academically qualified students, schools often tend to use standardised tests like the UCAT, BMAT, ISAT or PQA. Most importantly, through the students’ profile schools are looking for qualities like passion for medicine, teamwork, leadership skills, compassion, communication skills and a strong understanding of healthcare and ethics. Medical schools are looking to recruit aspiring doctors who demonstrate not only academic aptitude, but qualities that would help them succeed in medical school and beyond.

“I signed up for help for my overseas applications as I was not sure how to tailor them for the UCAS and I was not confident in my interview skills. The consultants helped me to craft my personal statements by providing tips on content, structure and flow while also helping me pick out relevant information.
As for the interview preparation, the consultants simulated both MMI and panel interviews and gave expectations and points of improvement for both. They coached me in questions that broadly mirrored the style if not the exact content of the actual interview questions and made me realise how I should adapt my answers based on the question and how I should approach difficult questions in a methodical manner.”

“Both Tiffany & Simonas were very helpful with my med applications by guiding me towards what Universities expect from my application but also what makes me stand out as a candidate. During an interview preparation, Tiffany helped me develop my answers in a strategic way that would allow an examiner to understand me better as a candidate and a person. I truly believe that I landed my St George’s offer because I did a mock with Tiffany a few days prior to the interview. Taking classes with Prep Zone Academy boosted my confidence and gave me realistic insight into what to expect.Thank you very much for your help!”

“I signed up for this as I was applying to college in the UK, but being in high school in the US, I had no idea how to navigate the application process and how to choose what schools to apply to. I think one of the things my consultant, Nirali, was most helpful for in the beginning was shortlisting colleges. She helped me understand which universities I would have a better chance at and made sure my list had a good amount of safety schools, targets, and reaches. In addition to that, I think the interview preparation she provided made me feel a lot less nervous and more ready for the interviews.”
