3430 UCAT | IB 44 (99.75) | UNSW Medicine Hi I’m Selwyn and I am a 3rd year medical student at UNSW. UCAT coaching Why me as your UCAT tutor? Unlike many ‘UCAT companies’ out there, I have actually sat the UCAT, TWICE (in 2020 & 2021) and achieved one of the top scores in ANZ in 2021 (3430). Through spending hundreds of hours going through practice questions, mock exams over two years, I have developed a deep understanding of the UCAT and its sub-sections. In some sense, I would consider my first student to have been myself. Through hard work, trial & error and devising unique but extremely effective strategies, I was able to teach myself how to overcome the common hurdles for each section that every UCAT test taker faces. I also discovered what my preparation was lacking in my 1st attempt that I rectified in my 2nd attempt. (You can learn from MY MISTAKES!!) This allowed me to improve my score from 2020 to 2021 by 420 POINTS!!! VR: 650 → 870 DM: 780 → 810 QR: 780 → 880 AR: 800 → 870 (Feel free to message me for proof of score) What can I offer you as your UCAT tutor? I believe I will be able to offer you a lot of value if your goal is to achieve a 98-99 percentile. As your tutor, I will share with you my strategies and the most effective ways to prepare for the UCAT including the best question banks & resources for each of the 4 sub-sections that most resemble the questions in the REAL EXAM. I am also very flexible with YOUR NEEDS. I can tailor lessons & give detailed advice for each of the 4 sections based on what you need help in. Eg. Do you struggle with ‘speed-reading’ in VR? Do the logical puzzles in DM make no sense? How do you calculate speed-distance-time questions quickly in QR? What elements in order of priority should I be looking for in AR patterns? I do not believe in a one-size-fits all approach (unlike the generic programs of ‘UCAT companies’) and I will strive to adjust to the way your brain tackles questions and then suggest strategies that will suit you. I also offer medicine interview coaching, having attended 7 interviews over 2 years. IB & high school tutoring I offer IB tutoring in Mandarin ab initio (final mark 92/100) and Mathematics SL (92/100) both of which I achieved a high grade 7 in. I also offer tutoring for students in Years 7-10 in Maths, English and Science, and primary school students wanting to sit the Selective Schools exam and scholarship exams to private schools.
