Why TestPrep Works

Selective entry success isn’t luck. It’s planning, precision, and practice.

Getting in requires:

  • Consistent habits, not last-minute cramming
  • Targeted instruction, not generic worksheets
  • Real exam conditioning under pressure
  • Tutors who understand exact assessment criteria
  • A personalised roadmap for each student

Contour TestPrep brings all of this together into one cohesive system.

How the Program Works

A mix of classes, home learning and exam preparation all underpinned by a strong tutor - parent relationship.

Diagnostic Testing: A Clear Starting Point

Before classes begin, students complete a full diagnostic across all selective-entry components. This reveals strengths, weaknesses, behaviour under time pressure, and readiness against selective standards.

From here, we map a clear, individual path to improvement.

Structured Weekly Classes

Small classes. Big outcomes. Each week focuses on one core component:

  • Reasoning – Mathematics
  • Reasoning – Reading
  • General Ability – Verbal
  • General Ability – Quantitative
  • Writing

Every class follows our proven structure:

  • Skill instruction
  • Targeted exam-style practice
  • Time-pressure conditioning
  • Personalised feedback

Tutors are selective-entry specialists trained to push students while supporting confidence and growth.

Weekly Homework & Consolidation

Progress comes from repetition and consistency. Each week includes independent practice, timed mini-tests, extension questions for top-end students, and detailed solutions. Consistency is the single most reliable predictor of selective-entry success.

The Contour TestPrep Ecosystem

Everything is designed to build confidence, precision, and exam readiness. Students receive full access to:

  • Weekly classes (in-person or online)
  • Exam-style workbooks
  • Homework, solutions, and walkthroughs
  • Online portal with recordings and resources
  • Regular mock exams and performance reports

Testing, Reporting & Parent Partnership

Formal monthly tests aligned to selective-entry standards, with detailed reports covering performance by domain, speed vs accuracy, error patterns, growth, and next steps.

Full Practice Exams

  • Every six weeks during term
  • Each school holiday period
  • At real exam venues closer to exam day

Term Reviews & Parent Consultations

Parents receive comprehensive written reports, clear evidence of improvement, and data-backed recommendations. Selective-entry preparation is a partnership.

Mastery of selective-entry reasoning frameworks

Contour is AMAZING!! After sitting the UCAT in 2024 and feeling upset about my score, I tried again this year with Contour. The entire process was very well-structured and helped a ton in improving/maintaining my focus, mindset, and performance towards the UCAT. They provide the structured framework to help you succeed in UCAT. Probably the best decision I ever made for my UCAT prep. I can’t recommend them enough.

Ramodh and the entire Contour team are so insightful. Lessons are so well formulated and structured, and flowed well from one to the next to truly deepen understanding, familiarity and comfort with the exam. Contour truly encapsulates everything I could want in a tutoring course -- I couldn't imagine anything more well-rounded for the UCAT journey.

I found Contour really helpful for my UCAT prep; everything, from the content lessons to the live mock testing centres, is fine-tuned based on student feedback to make the journey easier. Also, the tutors are great! Their advice and care really helped me lock in, but also made everything a lot less daunting and stressful. Definitely recommend.

I joined Contour MedPrep earlier this year and found it to be one of the most structured and supportive preparation programs. The combination of content lessons, practical sessions, and other resources gave me more than enough to approach the UCAT confidently. Their material is detailed and well thought out, constantly seeking feedback to make sure that they provide the most effective and helpful resources.

I would absolutely recommend the Contour MedPrep program to anyone looking for a more guided and supportive approach to UCAT prep, because it not only taught me the skills I needed to ace my UCAT, it also gave me a support network of people who knew exactly how I felt before, during, and after my exam! Thank you, Contour!

Very happy with Countour’s MedPrep course for my son. He enrolled in December last year and had just done his UCAT exam, peaking on the actual exam. A big relief that all the hard work paid off! I found Contour to be a very good tutoring company and their services friendly, well thought out, and beyond expectations.

Honestly you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not joining Contour for their UCAT course. From skill set to mindset they've got you covered. Going into my UCAT prep I had the motivation to do well but with something as obscure as the UCAT.

My daughter had a brilliant experience with Contour. She especially loved the one on one support she received from her mentors at Contour which made her feel like she wasn’t going through it alone. As parents we felt it was worth every dollar we spent and would recommend Contour to anyone attempting the UCAT.

Contour has honestly been one of the best decisions I made for UCAT preparation. They break everything down into clear, manageable steps - the roadmap and priming workbooks were super helpful resources for knowing exactly what to work on. I’m so glad I joined - it completely shifted my mindset and how I approached the UCAT. Would 100% recommend.

Enrolling in Contour provides a clear advantage in the UCAT. While success is not limited to those in the program, Contour makes the path to it far more focused and effective. From core strategies to personalised guidance, they tailor support to each student's needs. The ultimate goal of the UCAT is to feel confident and prepared - and Contour consistently delivers that experience, not just for me, but for countless students year after year.

My daughter is doing interview preparation with Contour, and I am equally confident in the quality of their program for this next stage. Ultimately, whether you want to invest in UCAT exam and interview preparation is a personal decision. However, based on our experience, I can say it is definitely worth the money.
