Why MediBrain UK

Coaching Built by People
Who've Sat the Same Exam

Every coach on our team has personally navigated the UCAT and secured their medical school place. They don't teach from a textbook — they teach from experience.

Coached by Real Medics

Every coach is a current medical student from King's, Imperial, or Lancaster — not a generic coach. They've sat the UCAT themselves and know exactly what works.

Diagnostic-First Approach

We start every student with a full diagnostic assessment. Your programme is then built around your specific weak subtests — not a generic one-size-fits-all course.

First-Session Guarantee

Not happy after your very first session? We'll refund you in full — no questions asked. We're confident enough in our coaching to back it completely.

Evening & Weekend Slots

Sessions available until 8pm on weekdays and throughout weekends — designed to fit around school, college, and revision timetables without compromise.

Award-Winning Leadership

MediBrain UK is founded by Faizan Sharief — High Sheriff Young Citizen Award winner and Lancaster Medical School student — who personally oversees every student's progress.

Free Consultation First

Every student starts with a free, no-obligation consultation. We'll review your current situation, set a target score, and recommend the right route before you commit to anything.

Common Questions

UCAT FAQs

Have questions about our UCAT programme? We've answered the most common ones below. For anything else, contact our team.

Speak to an Advisor
When should I start my UCAT preparation?
We recommend starting at least 10–12 weeks before your test date. However, even 6 weeks of intensive preparation with our Essentials package can yield significant improvements. Contact us and we'll advise based on your current score and target.
How much can I realistically improve my score?
Score improvement varies by starting point, study consistency, and how early you begin preparation. Our structured programme is designed to maximise gains across all cognitive subtests — with targeted drills, timed mock exams and personalised weak-area coaching, every student makes measurable progress.
Are sessions online or in person?
All sessions are 100% online — we don't offer in-person tuition. Lessons are delivered via video call with interactive whiteboards and screen sharing, so you can join from anywhere in the UK or internationally.
What is your refund policy?
Not the right fit after your first session? Full refund — no questions asked. We're confident in the quality of our coaching, so if you're not satisfied after your very first session, we'll return your payment in full.
What score do I need for medicine at top schools?
Competitive scores vary by medical school. Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial typically look for scores above 2300 (out of 2700). We'll advise you on the specific requirements for each school on your list and set appropriate target scores during your initial consultation.
Is the SJT covered in the programme?
Absolutely. The Situational Judgement Test is often underestimated but it matters — many schools use it as a tiebreaker. We dedicate full sessions to SJT frameworks, GMC guidance, and realistic ethical dilemmas so you develop a consistently high Band 1 or Band 2 performance.
Can I switch between group and 1:1 coaching?
Yes. Many students start with a group cohort and upgrade to 1:1 sessions as their test date approaches. Get in touch and we'll help you find the right combination for your timeline and budget.
