“

“I completed the HPAT preparation and for me it was an amazing experience. We got to look at all three sections of the exam in a really in depth manner. One of my favourite parts was being able to do the third section because there was loads of simulations for patterns and it was a part I found difficult. It was went over really really well. It was a great experience.”

“

I wasn’t motivated to study for the HPAT at all even though I did use Medentry. Medentry was just a little complicated for me and Career Services made it easier for me. I was able to prepare for the HPAT willingly and actually enjoyed it. I think Career Services is the one source of HPAT preparation material you should consider!
Vera (2024 HPAT Student)

Thanks to Career Services HPAT entry course, I was able to enter into my first choice of medicine in the RCSI. Their course helped me increase my HPAT score from 173 to 186. I can’t recommend them highly enough

Get Started

So, you're thinking about Studying Medicine in University?

First of all, well done on your decision to pursue medicine. This is a challenging and rewarding university course choice. As you may know, entry into university courses in Ireland (including Medicine) is officiated by the Central Applications Office (CAO). Each year, depending on the number of candidates applying for medicine, the CAO decide how many points are required to gain entry into the medicine degree courses.

It's competitive

Students wishing to pursue an undergraduate medicine course must compete against each other for a limited number of university places by achieving points in both the Leaving Certificate Examination and the HPAT®-Ireland exam.

Preparation is a must

The Leaving Certificate will take up the vast majority of your time and that is how it should be. However, the HPAT®-Ireland exam is a notoriously difficult exam. If you are serious about studying medicine you will need to have a realistic study and preparation plan to ensure you achieve your maximum score. This is exactly what the Career Services preparation course provides you with.

What is the HPAT Exam?

The HPAT®-Ireland exam is the medicine admissions/entry test selected by the Irish Medical Schools for prospective medical students and is administered by the Australian Council for Educational Research Limited (ACER).

The HPAT®-Ireland exam measures a candidate’s logical reasoning and problem-solving skills, non-verbal reasoning, and the ability to understand the thoughts, behaviour and/or intentions of people. It does not test academic knowledge and candidates do not require special understanding of any academic discipline.

HPAT®-Ireland is a registered trademark of the ACER. CS Career Services Ltd. is not in any way affiliated with nor endorsed by ACER.

A Student's Experience

The following account is written by a Leaving Certificate student who was successful in her HPAT® exam and her application for medicine.

“I have dreamed of becoming a doctor since a very early age. As soon as Leaving Cert year rolled around I knew I had a huge task ahead of me. I found the best way to approach this intimidating year is to do it one step at a time. The big picture at this moment is overwhelming and you can waste a massive amount of valuable time and energy on worry and negative thoughts”….
