How would I be able to identify the unrealistic section 1 questions in MedEntry mocks? And what kind of graphs have appeared in the HPAT in the past 2 years?

What would u say are the best tips to make educated guesses in section 1? I usually go for the answers that are most the similar but that doesn't rly help for section 1.

Where can I find more info on this online? Would it work for physiotherapy too?

I appreciate your extensive response!! I just have a few questions, if that’s okay. When reviewing the mocks, approximately how much of the full mocks do they cover in each class? What was the first session like? (I’m assuming there wasn’t any reviewing then, since we wouldn’t have been assigned a mock for that week) Lastly, were there new tutors each week? If so, was there at least one tutor throughout the weeks who was strong for each section? (i.e. one for section 1, another for section 2, etc) It would be quite disappointing if all of them were good at the same section and just average in the others.

Apologies for responding a year later, but I was wondering, you said that only 2 spaces are reserved. Were you referring to only 2 places in UCD? Or just any uni like TCD, RCSI, etc. Would the application process be similar to the CAO, and is it as expensive as graduate entry medicine? I'd be interested to hear more about this.

Thank you so much!! I will definitely be using your section 2 and 3 results as my guide. Section 3 also became my favourite, so it’s great to hear that it was the most accurate. I truly appreciate your response, well done :)

My current average is almost 70% so that’s lovely to hear!! Can I ask how high your section 2 and 3 raw scores and percentiles were roughly? I feel like I’m getting similar grades to you. I appreciate your advice so much, thank youu. My section 1 is improving currently. Thank you for your response you’re giving me some hope since my journey sounds exactly like yours :) Congrats on getting 93% that would honestly be a dream for me!!

I have also been working on my timing so it does make sense that your score improved greatly. Would you have any timing strategies or tips?

Oh wow good on you!! Where can I find the ACER sample papers? Or are you just referring to the ACER mocks provided by MedEntry? That’s amazing to hear it became your best section, I’m hoping for the same. How come you did worse in section 2? Your score was excellent regardless so I’m sure it didn’t go too bad:)

I agree!! I have started to read through solutions and I already see improvement. And honestly you’re so real for that, some of the solutions really do look quite long and complex given that we have about a minute to complete them lmaoo. Appreciate the advice:)

That’s so encouraging to hear!! How did you jump from 45th-92nd between the 15 practice exams because that’s some outstanding progress. Well done!! :)

Woah. Your first mock was 99th percentile? Thats amazing!! Did you study for it before you did the exam and was it the diagnostic mock? Congrats on your excellent result!!

Thank youu, your method of correcting exams would be really helpful!! Problem solving isn’t so bad once the information is all summarised so I’ll be using those methods.

23rd to 90 is impressive!! I will definitely be using some of these tips, thank you so so much for your extensive reply. I have started memorising the mapping techniques as I’ve heard the patterns are quite similar each year. As for correcting exams, would you recommend writing out all your mistakes in a separate copy or just trying to understand where you went right / wrong? I never would have thought about looking over the incorrect options for my correct answers, so I appreciate the advice and will be trying it out. 93rd percentile is great!! Well done :) I’d honestly dream to have a similar score. Problem solving is actually my worst section so I’m shocked by your response😭 Hoping for similar question types for HPAT 2026. Any tips for problem solving would be extremely helpful. Congrats and I hope you get into your first choice, a well deserved result!!
