Ascension Education was thrilled to host a full two term program at St John’s Anglican College in Forest Lake. This program outlined the ins and outs of the UCAT process with very keen year 11’s and 12’s.

Dr Tim Davis, with a Doctorate of Medicine and Bachelor of Science under his belt, ran 13 facilitated sessions and 7 self-paced over the two terms. These sessions covered the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) exam, medical entry interview, and application writing.

The UCAT examination process is known to be one one of the most difficult examinations in Australia. Many students are often ill-prepared for such an intensive and pressured test. Thanks to Dr Tim Davis, the year 12’s and year 11’s at St John’s college are one step closer to being as prepared as they can be for the UCAT. One student commented, “Tim and his delivery on the pathways into medicine were the most insightful and helpful explanation I have received.” Another praised Tim and his sessions by saying, “The best aspect of this program is that Tim was able to clearly talk through the steps and his thought process while answering questions. It allowed me to think outside the box and take in different ways that I originally thought that there was only one single way to solve it.”

At Ascension Education we pride ourselves on recruiting the most engaging and knowledgeable presenters. By involving students in practical and engaging learning, students are more likely to understand how to better decide their future pathways.
