Dinesh
Student · 3 May 2018
“She gives students their dreams back, families hope back and changes lives for the better.”
“We first met Dibah when our son enrolled in the MSAG summer school in 2019. Dibah guided him through personal statement, UCAT, and MMI preparation. Every step of the way Dibah has been his sounding board. As it now stands Hugh has achieved 3 strong A's in his mocks of Chemistry, Biology and Physics. He has offers to study medicine at 2 Universities (AAA or AAB) and 2 alternative offers. I can say without a shadow of doubt had we not been lucky enough to choose this summer school and subsequently met Dibah, Hugh would not have managed to achieve his goals. She has shown a parental like pride in the achievement of her protege.”
“Just emailing to say a massive thank you for the tutoring, it paid off and I've been offered a place with Pembroke, Oxford Uni!! I can't emphasise strongly enough how helpful it was.”
“Hi Dibah. I hope you're doing well. I am writing to let you know that my son, Mohamed, got offers from Manchester and Leicester medical schools and still waiting to hear from Hull-York. We are very happy with these offers and would like to thank you for your guidance and advice for Mohamed during his application process. We really appreciate it.”
“I am happy to say that I received offers from Manchester, St. Andrews, and Barts. I'm incredibly grateful for all my acceptances. Thank you for reviewing my personal statement and helping me decide where to apply. Your guidance played a key role in my success, and I truly appreciate it.”
“I am excited to share some great news with you. I have received an offer from Pears Cumbria (Imperial College London)! I just wanted to say thank you for your support and for helping me with interview preparation. Your advice made a huge difference, and I truly appreciate it. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to secure an offer.”
“Her knowledge of this process is head and shoulders above the mainstream, which I feel makes her unique and is the reason we trusted her to guide our son through the process. Dibah is someone who goes above and beyond in providing excellent service.”
“Thank you for your excellent guidance and help. I am so delighted to inform you that Janessa did get confirmed offer from Bangor and Brunel. She is going to Brunel as her 1st preference. Without you and your team's timely help we wouldn't have seen this lucky day. Thank you so much to you and everyone at MSAG. You are making real difference in people's life.”
“Dibah helped with my application for UK Medical Schools. I had come from an American international school in London where no one had ever applied or been accepted by a UK Medical School before. Not to mention, my academic qualifications were abnormal for many UK universities. Dibah was extremely helpful in planning out my application, contacting universities for information and, in general, giving good advice along the way. Within the first few weeks of her assistance, I had a much clearer picture of what I needed to be competitive for each university in terms of grades, interview scores and extra-curricular activities. She also got in touch with many university admissions offices to ask them specifically about my application. Through her persistence, she managed to get clear answers about what each medical school expected from applicants, something that I had found very difficult previously. Her hands-on approach meant that I had help every step of the way, including preparing for entrance exams, writing my personal statement and practicing for interviews. She was always accessible throughout this time as well and I could always rely on her for an honest, balanced but positive opinion. Even when I doubted myself throughout the application process, she was always there for help and, crucially, gave me options for how to do better. As a result of her help, I managed to get offers of acceptance from almost all of the Medical Schools I applied to including my first choice university. Being the first in my school to be offered a place for Medicine is in large part due to Dibah's help.”
“Dibah is amazing. She herself is incredibly inspiring but what she got out of me went above and beyond. I decided 18 months ago that I wanted to return to university and apply for graduate medicine. I studied hard for the GAMSAT and honestly thought that would be hardest part of the application process. Little did I know. Three interviews, two rejections and 1 waiting list later my confidence and nerves were at an all time low and I'm not a nervous person. I decided that I needed to make one last attempt at securing a place for September 2014 and applied to St George's course run at the University of Nicosia. They offered me an interview and I panicked. How was I going to get over the final hurdle this time? I'd purchased Dibah's book 'Graduate Entry Medicine 2014-2015' earlier in the application cycle and had found this the most helpful in my previous preparation so I pulled this out again and visited her website looking for inspiration. It wasn't that I hadn't prepared but re-reading Dibah's website I opened up to the truth that I hadn't 'practised'. I was afraid of saying my answers out loud in case they sounded [censored]. Very nervously, I took the plunge and bought an hour of Dibah's time. Suffice to say I needed more than an hour but it is the best money I've spent to date. Dibah was friendly and warm and made me feel like she was on my side. She asked me questions so that she got a feel of the real me and helped me answer the questions based on what I had to say not on what some book said was the best way to answer the question. Dibah was brutally honest (but always in a nice way) which is what I needed. She enabled me to perform in the way that I needed to so that I could be successful at interview and gave me the confidence to ask those around me for help thereby giving me the interview exposure that I so desperately needed.”
“I feel as though the MSAGs support was so effective because they took the time to get to know me and knew what would help me most. All support was tailored to me as a person, rather than just using a blanket formula. I aced the interviews and got offers from all three Universities.”
“Dr Jivah treated me as an individual person, never just as a client, and always helped me to understand myself which immensely improved my personal statement, preparation for my exams and interviews. She has helped me in gaining an array of skills that I aim to implement throughout my life.”
“We felt that the overall knowledge of Miss Jiva, along with her helpfulness, quality of service, professionalism, organizational skills and command of the process was far superior to the others. The contribution of Miss Jiva to our children's education was indeed invaluable.”
“We have no doubt that it was thanks to your consulting sessions that J was able to perform confidently at his interviews (and actually, thanks to your invaluable initial advice, get the interviews too!). This definitely made the difference between last year's miss and this year's successes. Your interview practice was totally invaluable and will give my son skills for life.”
“What you're doing Dr Jiva is a blessing. A whole new level. You actually make them the person as they go along. I could see with Reshma that you didn't just help with uni application, you have slowly moulded to believe in herself to think for herself. She has come so far from before we started with you. I treasure having come in contact with you Dr Jiva and am truly grateful to God. We want to continue to stay in touch with you through her med school and very much hope you would be there for us thank you so much. No words to express my deep gratitude pavi”
“Dr Dibah really went out of her way to help me succeed; I wasn't just a 'buyer'. She genuinely wanted to get to know me, understand deeply my strengths and weaknesses to find the best way to help me to achieve my lifelong dream.”
“I highly recommend theMSAG for those who are applying to med school. I used their personal statement service when I was under time pressure and they got back to me really fast with a very detailed analysis of my personal statement. My statement improved massively once I went through their notes. I also attended their interview course which was packed with essential techniques and information for medical interviews. What I found most useful was being in a small group and being able to observe how others answered questions. All in all, I think they do a really good job at a reasonable price. I've got offers from 2 schools so far and one of them is my first choice so I'm over the moon!”
“Your help was tailored to Danielle and her application rather than a generalised approach that other companies offer. This made Danielle feel like someone cared about her application to be a success. Your availability at all hours was very important especially as she was working on her personal statement so close to the deadline.”
“Dibah was a great help throughout my medical school application. She helped me pull apart my experiences to find the right stories to tell to the medical schools and the skills I had developed throughout my academic career. She asked me key questions that made me reflect upon my experiences in a deeper way. And hence, the personal statement I wrote, truly exposed my motivation for medicine, skills I have acquired and their application to the field of medicine. It is one thing to have had worthwhile experiences and some accomplishments, but without the right projection, I do not think you can really sell yourself to the admissions committees. Dibah has the insight and is very well informed into the selection processes of different medical schools. Her experience, editing skills and knowledge of the process are excellent and I would recommend her to anyone! This service is an excellent option for everyone looking for an edge in their medical school application.”
“Dear Dibah, thanks for your coaching and support. We are so blessed to have you professionally guiding Ian through in his journey towards medicine.”
“Dear Dr Dibah, thank you so much for your detailed feedback. It has been incredibly helpful and has made a real difference in my preparation. I have already completed my Nottingham interview and now preparing for Leicester.”
“Received, thank you so much for all your help. I truly appreciate all the assistance you have given me for the UK medical school process. It has given me a lot of clarity and made me much more confident about the process.”
“Thank you so much Dibah, the flow really improved, and the PS came out exactly how I wanted it to be perceived (or even better). I really appreciate all the support and effort put in! I look forward to the next steps.”
“Dear Dr Dibah and Dr Ash, I wanted to share my gratitude for the amazing experience you gave our daughter Yasmine. I sat listening to you share what they had covered in the fortnight and the love, compassion and clear intention you had to support the young people's development was inspiring, you nearly enrolled me in the course! I work in education and I clearly saw your passion for enabling and developing the individual talents of each young person. When we took our daughter for lunch it was a joy to listen to her share what she got from the course and how she would take this knowledge and confidence forward into her next stages of her education. Your course has exceeded all my expectations for her and I thank you for all the hard work that has clearly been put into planning this experience for these young people. Many thanks.”
“Although I haven't finished with the self study course, I'm finding it extremely helpful as it is structured, organised and provides practice questions following each explanation. It is great as it even provides an explanation of how to 'guess correctly' if you are running out of time. The two day course was also very helpful, and despite the fact that I have felt QR was fast paced for my level the self-study course complemented that and is explaining each component so I am able to go through it slowly. At the end of the session they kindly provide you with a feedback of which areas they believe you require more help with suggesting on how to maximise your revision prior to your scheduled exam. I definitely recommend this to anybody struggling with the UCAT as it gives you structure and boosts your confidence in revising.”
“Thanks to Dr. Dibah not only for providing me with all of this information but for showing me which universities I should apply to with my low UCAT score and being an international applicant.”
“Dr Jiva is patient, conscientious and a pleasure to work with. If you are a student, wanting to get the best out of your university application, and in particular, your personal statement, then I would highly recommend you speak with Dr. Dibah Jiva.”

“Hi Dibah. I just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping Summayah and myself. The support, guidance and reassurance you gave us was next to none. Even whilst being so busy, you were always contactable. So, thank you.”
“My daughter did it and found it useful, recommended to a friend.”
“As a careers adviser I have used the MSAG Med School guide with aspects such as what individual universities are look for in personal statements, personal views from students in their med schools. More recently I used the guide to give information to a student who has been rejected from her med school choices around ratios of applicants to students; something she in particular wanted to look into. The guide is easy to use and so much quicker as a reference point than using online tools to check entry requirements and specifics about the content of a degree programme. I would recommend this guide to both advisers, teachers and students equally.”
“Dears Dr Dibah and Dr Ash. TheMSAG summer school was a great experience for the future of our children's. We would like to thank you for all your kindness, for your excellent approach, and all your energy that you have put for two weeks.”
“I have found this guide extremely useful; I am a careers advisor in a secondary school, and am fairly new to the role. When one of my students expressed an interest in becoming a doctor, I was very pleased to have received my copy of the guide book just a week beforehand! The guide is concise, and is written in blocks that made it easy for me and the student to pick out which bits apply to her now, and which bits she can look at during her post-16 education. I found the university guide section particularly useful, as it contains all the information you would ever need to know about applying to those establishments. I would highly recommend this guide!”
“I found this Free online course much more effective than the Paid Medic Portal interview course I attended recently. I have 2 interviews over the coming weeks (1 in 3 days!!!) and this course has been invaluable in providing me with insight and guidance. I feel more prepared and confident in approaching my interview.”
“Many thanks on behalf of myself and our students for the presentation/workshop yesterday. It was, as last year, absolutely fantastic and we really appreciate you coming to Claremont to give our students an insight into the process and the best advice to help them make a competitive application and develop their skills.”
“My daughter, who wants to apply for medicine, is finding your course informative and useful. Thank you for the resource, all medical entry courses seem to involve considerable payments, and therefore receiving a bit of free help is brilliant for keen students.”
“Many of the applicants probably have had purchased the ISC medical revision guide however, the core topics in the book are not as well developed as the ones shown in the MSAG Interview Course. As a result, I was able to tackle ethical issues and other questions in a better way having properly learn the core principals and whatnot from the course. Thank you MSAG and all the People who were involved in the making of the course, you have my gratitude.”
“Quite a thorough guide to the methodology and content of answers you should be using in interviews. Done by doctors and medical students who provide a step by step guide to types of questions with examples/exemplar answers. Would recommend going through if you have an interview for medicine.”
“Extraordinary. Being able to meet many new people from all around the world who have the same passions and interests is such a valuable experience. Dibah, Ash and Fei teach such interesting and useful lessons that I will always remember and I strongly feel that if I hadn't attended theMSAG summer course, my chances of being accepted into medical school would be very low.”
“Anyone that meets Dibah whether it be in or out of work, can't help but take inspiration from her. I have seen many individuals that have come from underprivileged backgrounds, who she has helped to success for no monetary gain. As a long-standing member of theMSAG, I feel as excited today to come to work, as I was at the very beginning of my journey. Dibah always makes time to focus on each individual's personal learning goals, and yet, these 'work' meetings also manage to also feel like a catch up with an old friend. That's what makes Dibah the type of CEO that everyone wants to emulate.”
“The work ethic demonstrated by Dibah on a regular basis and her commitment to her teaching and to her students is inspiring. Dibah seems to do it with a sense of calmness and clarity. Definitely one of the biggest things I have learnt whilst working with her closely over the past few months.”
“Before arriving there, I was quite anxious because I'm French and not British, because it was the first time I would go somewhere I mainly didn't know anybody, and finally because I didn't know if it would be exhausting to work that much. However, this summer camp proved to me that I was totally wrong. During the mentoring Dibah has helped me so much to understand what was the pros and the cons to stay in France or go abroad. Now I leave the Oratory school my head full of wonderful memories, I hoped that we had an extra week together, but all good things have an end.”
“She is an inspiration for those who have watched her grow her business from a guidebook to the multi-product success it is today. She inspires the business-minded to work hard, diversify and persevere. Dibah is dedicated to helping others and making sure they achieve their dream career. She has set up a business that is incredibly personalised and tailored to every individual client which is not something that can be said for any of her competitors.”
“She has always been approachable, I feel as comfortable going to her with concerns/ideas/thoughts today as I did 3 years ago. Her dedication to the company and everyone in it is admirable. I'm not sure she's ever stopped working!”
“I have witnessed Dibah go out of her way to ensure the wellbeing of the team members, as well as provide opportunities for learning and development. These are characteristics that to me make a great leader stand out. What makes her a role model for me as a team member of theMSAG is her tireless work ethic and dedication to the company and its goals.”
“Dear Dibah, Thank you so much for your flexibility!! I am happy with my offer - but still waiting on Brunel which I would prefer as it’s in london….. I will get the info from my sister asap!! Thank you so much, Sorry for the inconvenience, Best wishes, Lara”
“I appreciate all the help you are providing. I have an interview from the University of Nottingham only and got rejected from all my other universities so I really want to make the most out of this opportunity. Any tips and guidance would be really beneficial for me.”

School has asked to submit her final statement ASAP as they need to check and submit through school portal.”

“MMI for next weekend for UEA specific? I'm still in the middle of prep but I feel like I can do it Thanks Rhea”
“I would highly recommend dr Jiva input in reviewing the personal statement . She is extremely helpful, talented and professional . Thank you for all the help from the team including Zara . Keep up the good work ?”
“Dibah, Thank you for the session with Vatsal yesterday. I remain very concerned about his ability to qualify in an Interview.”
“Had very helpful timely feedback by the team.”
“My daughter used this mmi mock prep and benefitted immensely from the mock and the detailed feedback given to her by Dr. Dibah and her team. Thanks a lot MSAG.”
“The MMI questions were well tailored to my chosen university. The interviewers were all professional. It was a positive experience for me and gave a very good introduction into medical school interviews. The feedback was extremely detailed, helping me to focus on my weaker areas in preparation for the real interview. Overall, it was a good purchase and I would recommend.”
“I learnt a lot of structured ways to answer the various interview question types so that I can be prepared regardless of what question I get in the interview. The sessions were clearly organised and linked so it flowed really well, and it was engaging. I got to answer a lot of practice questions which improved my confidence as well.”
“Very efficient, Dr Dibah was able to successfully help me with my personal statement .”
“Really helpful. Turn around times as promised. Excellent feedback. Couldn’t have finished it without their help”
“Excellent advice. Always very focussed, practical comment which is individualised for our specific case. Feedback is very constructive, delivered with good explanation and a logical route to improve.”
“Excellent ,all the speakers were very good”
“The overall experience was very good. Dr Dibah took her time to look through my personal statement and give good points regarding it which eventually ended up being a good personal statement.”
“Very comprehensive and helpful”
“Very usefull,felt very supported and very patient.”
“Very useful, mainly advice on which university to apply to. It is very clear that she has alot of knowledge regarding the matter and she opened my eyes to factors i had previously not considered.”
“Very easy to organise Helpful”
“Excellent service ! The amount of detail backed by data and experience is out of this world. Applying for medical school is such a complex process with so much conflicting information, plus the medical schools seem to keep moving the goalpost. We needed an independent review, someone to look at our best attributes and match them to appropriate medical schools. This is exactly what we got from Dr Jiva ! At the end of the session we had 4 sensible options written down and felt much more relaxed about the way forward. We honestly felt this service was great value for money and after this experience have applied for further courses run by the company. Well done guys and keep up the good work”
“I found the team at MSAG very helpful”
“Excellent. I wish that we had requested an earlier personal statement review so that my daughter would have had more time to rework the proposed content in the light of the feedback. We had superb support from Dr Jivah. She ensured that we understood the feedback and how the personal statement could be tailored to the expectations of medical schools to which my daughter was applying.”
“We purchased a session to discuss how to target UCAS choices for the medical schools which were most appropriate for my daughter given her UCAT score and GCSEs. We benefited from detailed, individually tailored advice and left the call equipped with options to make informed decisions. It is very confusing and we needed expert help.”
“Questions were very good, just wish there were even more”
“Really helpful, enjoyed it a lot and has made me feel better about the UCAT”
“Very good. Really informative about the nuances of each medical school. Good advice.”
“The app has proved to be very useful and the tutors have a general understanding of how to approach questions which using their teachings have made it easier to progress and get questions right”
“I had 3 mock interviews with msag. They asked uni specific qs and gave detailed feedback for each answer. I feel that this course really helped me a lot and I would definitely recommend it.”
“I completed the MMI circuit with MSAG in December and found it very helpful. All the interviewers were of different ages, backgrounds and personalities, which prepared me for the great varieties of people that actually interviewed me. There was a wide range of questions, which I had never encountered before and they challenged me. These questions improved my ability to think on the spot and quickly structure my responses. The personalised feedback I received boosted my confidence as it showed what I did well, but it also emphasised what I needed to improve on so I could do more research on it. Afterwards, I was able to fill the highlighted gaps in my knowledge and during the real interview I could answer the majority of questions the interviewers threw at me. The MMI mock circuit structure emulated my real interviews, therefore I felt calm during them.”

“Our experience withDr.Dibah was ecellent. Very informative. She clarified all our doubts. She gave a overall idea about all the medical universities in UK, their expectations ,the requirements for admission ,and the chances of the candidate in securing admission. UCAT practice sessions by her experienced coaches are encouraging and useful. It has given lot of confidence to my son . Thanks a lot”

“I was very overwhelmed with how to go about the ucat and this package is a very organised system of revising. Provides you with topics to be covered for the UCAT so you are able to come back an re-revise the topic. I've learnt sooo much tips and different techniques from the videos. Let me say I have paid double before, preparing for the UCAT and yet I have learnt more with msag than any where else.”

“Had consultation regarding medical admission for my son , an International student from India. Dr Jiva had excellent knowledge about the whole admission process and gave clarity on many issues. Would highly recommend her expertise.”
“Dibah was incredibly thorough, supportive and constructive when identifying how to better approach my medical school application for the second time around. She has an extensive knowledge of all the medical schools' requirements and the nuances that are often difficult to notice. I have a much clearer indication of how to progress forward with regard to my Graduate Entry Medicine application this year.”
“rry I only read your email now. I just wanted to thank you for explaining this to me, I really appreciate it and I am really sorry about that, yesterday must have been a really hard day for you. Once again thank you for your email and for today’s session and we look forward to talking to you again”
“replicated the real mock interview well and i felt much more prepared after doing the mock interview and the feedback received was helpful”
“It was very well organised, thank you to Sobhian for being so lovely. The interviews were really helpful and provided me with really good insight as to how to answer questions and the structure too. A very good experience and the feedback forms are extremely useful.”
“Overall, I had a good experience. The interviewers were formal and placed you under enough pressure to mimic a real MMI. The feedback given was very helpful as it was specific to me so I knew what I needed to do to improve. The tutors were also very kind and you could see they were eager to help, this course helped boost my confidence for future interviews. Definitely recommend!”
“I learnt a lot about the various stations which increased my exposure to different questions. I also got a lot of valuable feedback from the tutors.”
“MMI experience was very positive. All the tutors were very good (actual doctors and med students) and thorough in their feedback. It was also very well organised as well.”
“The questions selected were good and the feedback was detailed.”
“Very good. The interviewers provided good detailed feedback. The interview itself felt very enriching in terms of things I learned out of it and really growing confidence overall as well. Really enjoyed this experience!”
“It was a great experience that had stations made personal for the university that I applied for.”
“It was my first time doing a mock MMI, but I gained many valuable tips and feedback from the tutors. I also gained confidence in my response, so I recommend doing this course!”
“It helped to get some verbal practice in an unfamiliar environment where it mimics an actual interview.”
“My daughter has been using theMSAG UCAT Question Bank, it's comprehensive and resourceful, and we would recommend it to anyone who are planning to sit the UCAT.”
“It was a great experience. I feel a lot more prepared now that I understand where my weaknesses are and how to play to my strengths in the interview.”
“I think that the interview experience was very useful. It gave me a lot of insight into my interview strengths and weaknesses and really helped to put my practice into action. A few suggestions to improve: - Alternate questions between both individuals. That way, both of us in a pair are involved for the 4 hours. - Give feedback after each individual station. I forgot some of the questions that were asked after the entire MMI. It also makes it easier to give feedback to my partner.”
“The mock MMI circuit was exactly like my real interview. I felt more confident and comfortable in the real thing as a result. The feedback I received was personalised and highlighted the areas I need to work on. It was extremely helpful!”
“Incredibly helpful. It set us on the right track, and helped us reflect further and get our material more thematically arranged.”
“Really loved the experience. Gave me a good overview of how it might be in the real interview. The interviewers acted well to be neutral and sometimes unbothered, allowing me to tackle the worst-case scenario with an interviewer. The feedback provided was also detailed and very helpful. Looking forward to the next mock with you!”
“really good course, second time on this course, really good practice and the feedback is specific and tells you how to improve”
“Excellent interview course with very helpful tips and feedback”
“Brilliant feedback and very helpful”
“Very good feedback and questions were quite challenging and realistic in that aspect, would recommend”
“the MMI circuit was very well structured and insightful, the tutors were incredibly honest and told me exactly where I was going wrong”
“Very good simulation of MMI. Very good stations such as role play and good feedback. However i do feel that some stations could have been developed better and more personal.”
“My son found this course very helpful. He has done 3 MMI interviews and the course helped him in all 3 interviews. He has recommended this to a few of his classmates as well. Thanks to all the tutors who took the session. Best Regards”
“The interviewers were really nice and provided great feedback!”
“I really enjoyed the MMI course and felt like I learnt how to properly answer questions under time conditions. I like how we were asked questions and got feedback there and then. The variety of questions (roleplay, scenario based, skills based, motivation) was good and doing it on Zoom was very well coordinated! Thank you very much to the team!!”
“Really great, it was very useful”
“, which I have decided to accept. I wanted to thank you for your time and I really enjoyed meeting you. I think the ethos of your company and the direction it's going is all really exciting. It was a close call, but the other position is more suitable for my personal situation at the moment”
“Tutors were honest in their opinions of how the sessions went, and were clearly knowledgeable about how to answer interview questions successfully.”
“the tutors are really nice and they give honest feedback!”
“I really enjoyed the Mock MMI Circuit that was held today. It was tailored to what I had asked for in terms of universities and types of questions I would like to be asked for me. The session was structured very well and the small groups created ensured I was able to complete my circuit turn and receive feedback to an effective amount of detail. I received feedback for all of my stations and I was asked a variety of questions that allowed me to demonstrate different skills. It was also a great way to meet other students and learn from their performances. The tutors were super friendly and provided constructive feedback, which will allow me to improve my answers. I would like to thank the MSAG team for this opportunity, and would highly recommend this session for interview practice before the actual day. Thank you.”
“Really enjoyed how personalised it was to me and the questions I struggled with. I got good feedback from the tutors about what went well and what I need to work on. It was nice to observe another person going through their circuit too. I'd recommend this to anyone who's got an interview and wants to see if they're ready.”
“I loved how interactive the course was as well as the personalised advice that was given in each section”
“Very informative and realistic run through of the interview process. Thank you”
“It was really good, and I would say that the way the MMIs were structured really put the pressure on, so it was very useful in seeing what I need to improve while under that pressure.”
“I found the experience very beneficial and the feedback given was very helpful to see where I should improve. I also liked that we could shadow another person's interview and found this very useful. However I think having a bit more time for feedback would have been better.”
“I think it was an informative session filled with new things to learn. I especially enjoyed understanding exactly how the MMI stations are marked through the well run feedback round as well as being able shadowing another student and hear their perspectives.”
“Really good realistic MMI experience and got a lot of really good feedback that I likely wouldn't have got anywhere else. Would definitely recommend.”
“The advice was very specific and touch up on every point. The MMI was tailored to my needs and is as good as it gets”
“I though this was really helpful to give me an actual experience of what an interview would be like. It was especially helpful to show the part that I need to improve on and work on before any real interviews. I also really liked the feedback and it was really helpful to hear what I needed to improve. The only thing that could be improved is how going between stations we would get cut off but other than that it was very good.”
“I bought the personal statement review package and was immensely impressed with all of the feedback I received. The guiding questions really helped me flesh out my ideas, allowing me to narrow down what I wanted to express. The timely feedback before the UCAS deadline was much appreciated. I cannot recommend this product enough :)”
“Dr. Jiva thoroughly analyzed my profile and correlated it with my exam scores and my personal preferences, and discussed with me the medical schools where I would have the best chance of receiving an interview. She provided in-depth analysis and advice, based on her knowledge of both the requirements and history of acceptances for individual medical schools. Her advice really helped me narrow down my final two choices, and I would highly recommend this product!”
“I was able to experience how online interviews work and receive some useful feedback.”
“Great, relevant, useful content, enjoyed.”
“It wa very well run, they went through multiple different questions and gave good specific feedback for each station.”
“My experience was great overall and this course really helped me build confidence and learn to structure my answers”
“great practise for the real mmi interviews. asked uni specific questions which is great for the real thing! interviewers gave really good feedback, positive but also constructive criticism”
“Very good thank you! I was nervous about my answers being bad but it was good to have a practice and put myself in the interviewing situation. I really liked the amount of feedback we got and the level of detail as it allowed me to see what went went and what exactly needs improving. It was also very good to see specific questions from the unis im applying to to open my eyes on what sorts of specific things they would ask as well as the common questions”
“I gained very good feedback from all the tutors. It felt like an actual interview. I was able to experience many different question types and was put on the spot. Overall, I was very useful.”
“The mock MMI circuit was very informative and helpful and all the tutors gave detailed feedback on how to improve. I now feel more prepared for when I will have to deal with MMIs on the day.”
“Absolutely brilliant, we would highly recommend. Even with my son doing lots of prior interview research and reading he was amazed at the detail and hands on challanges”
“It was a structured holistic approach, respecting time limitations and customer needs.”
“Excellent Literally the best for making sure you sell yourself on your ps”
“superb product highly recommended”
“Dr Jiva has so much knowledge about the admissions criteria for each medical school; in particular she was able to say which ones were best suited, based on individual strengths and weaknesses. Much appreciated.”
“Dibah has been hugely supportive as we have worked through the application process. She is very thorough and provides huge amounts of advice around the process. Thank you!”
“Very useful and informative sessions. Her advise is supported by statistics and historical trends. Her advise and expert opinion is definitely useful for applicants.”
“which is quick for you to suggest we will be most grateful as I dont think Maya has time for another formal PS review. I hope its suitable for the universities we discussed yesterday.”
“Dr Jiva, was able to go through various medical schools advising why specific ones were best suited to my daughter's individual strengths in her application to study Medicine. She had an abundance of knowledge and was able to alleviate fears and dismiss some myths!! I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking to apply to study Medicine; Dr Jiva and her team were wonderful!”
“Dr Jiva went above and beyond our expectations. Incredible knowledge, practical advice and enthusiasm. Hugely grateful.”
“This consultation was very useful. Dr Jiva was very knowledgeable and worth the price.”
“As an international student with a foreign degree, she agreed to help me find out more about the process! she has been a great help so far.”
“VERY GOOD, SOUND ADVICE GIVEN TAKING EVERYTHING INTO CONSIDERATION. VERY THOROUGH ASSESSMENT”
“Very good.patient to answer the questions.interactive.”
“They were very helpful and provided tons of resources to do self studying.”
“The course was really interactive, giving loads of tips and tricks for each of the sections. The tutors were all really nice and helpful.”
“We so appreciated Dibah's insights to help us with our son's medical school applications. Her thorough and logical approach helped us focus our resources and we appreciate the reassurance this provides. Thank you so much Dibah!”
“Excellent. Dr Dibah has superb knowledge of current admission policies of different med schools, and approaches the process in a systematic and strategic fashion. Thank you”
“very good and helpful especially compared to other courses.”
“I really enjoyed the course overall, I feel like I have picked up lots up tips that I never knew about regarding flagging questions and timing which is what I was most concerned about.”
“Great , all the teachers explain their respective sections brilliantly and the strategy to approach each makes the UCAT feel a lot less daunting.”

“First online meeting with Dr Jiva was very useful and informative to understand the roadmap to university admissions to medicine . Thank you very much.”

“very good, interactive, experienced teachers”
“This course has been very helpful with all of the strategies we have been taught and the practice questions we have gone through together. The teachers explained everything really well and broke each section of the UCAT down, making the harder parts of the UCAT much easier to understand! I also liked how interactive the classes were. :)”
“good friendly teachers and good strategies with lots of practice”
“I had a wonderful experience, Dr Dibah Jiva was extremely patient and kind enough to guide us through the session.”
“I found the UCAT weekday course really helpful, as it presented best strategies for completing the exam in the most efficient way. I enjoyed the interaction between the students and the tutor, which forced me to do the exercises by myself (rather than just looking how someone else solves them) and learn from my mistakes. Each course was well structured and the mock exams allowed me to practice even more and see which types of exercises were the most difficult for me. However it is unfortunate we could not have a personal contact in class, like it used to be in the pre-pandemic times.”
“She went through everything about both the advantages and disadvantages of my application, which helped me realize what I lacked.”
“This has been a fabulous course and has given me so many tips and tricks that are going to help my revision in the future.”
“The classes are well-prepared with contents targeting each section of the UCAT exam. It is a great way to quickly familiarise yourself with the question format and essential techniques to score high in the test. Highly recommended!”

“Excellent course with thorough explanations for each section including incredibly helpful approaches and strategies to solve different types of questions. The tutors were kind, helpful and interactive and made sure all the participants were engaged and understood everything. Thank you!”
“very good. Tutors give clear advice and help. Small groups so its very easy to get help when needed.”
“Our experience with consultation with Dr. Diva was amazing. She has in depth knowledge of the process and explained it to us elborately. She has also laid out a detailed plan for medical entrance examination. It was a truly productive consultation and I would recommend all medical aspirant to avail this consultation Thanks you Dr. Diva.”
“Thank you very much Dr. Jiva for such an informative session and advice. I was so much impressed by your knowledge,experience and guidance. Your thoughtfulness and input is greatly appreciated.”
“The video tutorials are very helpful and there is a great selection of questions. I have found the team to be very helpful. They get back quickly to any question I ask and their explanations are thorough and helpful.”
“It was very useful and informative with great model answers”
“I am a reapplicant, I wish I had found this course last year, but I was very fortunate to use it this year. I felt the class was very well structured, I especially liked the approach section to each question type, the tutors where able to make the sessions very interactive and engaging through using polls for students to answer questions. I would highly recommend this course for anyone thinking to doing the UCAT.”
“I found that overall the structure of the course was really thorough, and they taught me some really unique techniques and approaches for each question type which would undoubtedly give me a great advantage when completing the UCAT. I found it to be very interactive as they constantly checked my understanding through application on practice questions. I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of doing the UCAT”

“Good, I enjoyed it very much, very useful.”
“Very good preparation. Greatly improved confidence.”
“It ran very smoothly and I was able to simulate the experience of an MMI. I now feel more prepared to deal with the pressure when faced with the MMI on the day.”
“Dear Madeline, Thank you for your email and tips for Jiya. Her interview went well and we will wait and see where this takes us. About her further lessons we just got an email from Liverpool and sadly she did not cut it in the selection. She will now wait”
“Hi, Great, thank you -- I think implementing the feedback is fine but I am finding it difficult to get any practice as I don't have many people I can ask, and so I would like to practice more if possible as it is nerves that I struggle most with. ---”
“It was really helpful and the feedback was useful. The course was well structured and helped me know what areas i need to work on. The interviews where very good and gave in-depth advise which was very helpful. Also hearing other people answering was also helpful.”
“Hello Madeleine Thank you for the below Please could you also book Simran for the dates below for Southampton Med Interview Tuesday 16th- 2 hour- anytime Thursday 18th- 2 hours - anytime Sunday- 21st - 2 hours- from 4:00pm anytime Tuesday 23rd- 2 hours”
“the interview provided a realistic experience of what a MMI is like. the feedback given was very specific and I know exactly what I need to do to improve. The tutors were also great listeners and advisors!”
“MMI interviews are quite unlike any other situation you are put in, so this is a unique and essential experience for applicants. The feedback is detailed, and you get tested under realistic conditions, with the opportunity to observe many more questions. Great for improving confidence.”
“Scary with the other person in the pair watching you rather than 1 to 1 but really simulates the stress of the situation well!”
“This MMI circuit interview was very helpful, there was weaknesses that i had that i would of never known about if it wasn't for this mock. The tutors were very collaborative and the settings felt very real and is honestly the best thing you could buy to practice for an interview. every tutor gives detailed analysis of every question i did and definitely will go a long way in preparation Thank you all.”
“It was really good and the constructive criticism is really helpful. the interviews where very good at seeing what I'm lacking in and giving good advice that I'm sure will help me in this process.”
“derstanding of medicine as a career and that you appreciate the realities of working in a caring profession. Your communication and interpersonal skills will be assessed at each station, and one station will involve role-play and interaction with an actor. You may also be assessed on such things”
“very pleased with how it turned out. My son found the tips and tricks very helpful and felt he did well in his interview as a result”
“it helped give me an understanding of what an interview was going to be like”
“It was so informative and helpful - would really recommend”
“me and I hope this was a helpful introduction. Thank you for your time. Cheers, Theo ---”
“I liked the formal nature of the interviewers and the seriousness/harshness (a very good thing) of the feedback. Interviewers were very professional and straight to the point. I gained lots of new important tips that I will implement into my answering style in the future. Would highly recommend.”
“I think my overall experience was pretty good with the Mock MMI in general, I received great feedback that was thorough from each interviewer and am expecting a mark scheme and more feedback. The interviewers were good, engaged in the conversation, I would have appreciated more follow-up questions and that could be something that can be improved on as it really tests the candidates understanding of the questions.”
“I thought the questions were extremely useful and unique and the feedback was very specific and really has pointed me in the direction of what needs honing.”
“This course was a really good practice for answering unknown questions under pressure and feels like a very realistic simulation of the interview and the nerves you get with that. You get to watch another candidate run through a circuit as well as doing your own so you can learn from each other on what works well/not so well. You can feel that the tutors are all really invested in you improving. They all put the time and effort into giving me personalised constructive feedback (which is also provided in writing after) which has helped me identify weaknesses and strengths I didn't realise before, so I can really work on those before the real interview. Thank you!”
“I found it really helpful and insightful into areas where I could improve as well as get more of a feel for specific interview questions”
“This course is excellent. I was able to get tailored questions for the universities to which I was applying and received excellent feedback from the tutors about strengths and weaknesses. The mark schemes to the questions with detailed feedback are also sent which provides a good long term resource to prepare from. Thank You MSAG!”
“Good. Went through 20 stations that i felt were great at replicating the real interview experience. Received detailed feedback from interviewers on how they would approach the question which was very helpful . Questions that came up i think are very relevant to medicine today and the feedback is great in helping me improve my answers and definitely helps me focus on areas to improve.”
“It was really helpful, well structured and good written feedback as well as verbal.”
“It was great! The tips I got were very helpful, and give me a lot of clarity. I think that I required more time to get feedback from my peer and the teachers.”
“Really beneficial course! It gave me a very clear understanding of what an MMI circuit will be like. I am excited to now work on the feedback that I have been given in preparation for my interview.”
“Everything is structured out well and you get a good chance to answer a range of past medical school questions but most importantly is you get a lot of feedback from each station that helps massively. The interviews were very realistic and the tutors were helpful and guided you along the way.”
“It was very realistic and gave me a very good idea of how the interview would actually run, there was a good range of questions to challenge me but also good feedback so I could learn from my mistakes. Overall it was a good chance to learn my pros and cons”

“I think the opportunity to have a mock MMI circuit was really effective and the feedback I received was excellent and I can use it to help improve my technique. I think the interviewers were direct and clearly explained what I did well and what I could improve on. I thought that the setup was really well thought of, I felt it was really good to have another applicant witness your interview and be able to give feedback”
“It was a useful experience to see which areas I am bad in while also seeing how other people answer questions.”
“Really useful experience. Excellent tutors. I feel like I have gained substantial confidence thanks to help from MSAG help”
“Very good, useful how questions from a specific medical school. Good feedback- useful how given back verbally but also will receive written.”

“I think this course was very helpful and beneficial. It was a good introduction to how the style of interview is actually carried out. The feedback was very detailed and specific which helped a lot.”
“It pushed me to do more interview prep early on. Good feedback and nice to be partnered up and listening to each other. Good practice face to face”
“The overall experience was extremely helpful and realistic. The feedback given from the team was very insightful and they picked up well on both your strengths and weaknesses without being discouraging (written feedback too). The whole team were all extremely helpful and kind. Overall experience was very useful and I would definitely recommend this to others.”
“overall very positive - most interviewers showed enthusiasm - some could have showed more engagement - feedback was useful and definitely showed me where i need to improve my skills”

“Good, detailed feedback. Format of questions was similar to the format provided by the university.”
“I had a good experience overall. I liked that it could be tailored towards your individual interview because that was very useful to see the style of questions that were likely to come up. The format was good and will most likely be similar to the actual interview which was helpful. The interviewers also gave really good feedback so I know what I need to improve on to make my answers and approach better.”
“Was a good insight to a MMI interview, learnt a lot, hope to use this knowledge for the real one!”
“Very insightful and honest feedback, which will really help me such as speaking slower and ensuring that I have good structure which was really helpful”

“Overall it was above average, with a good range of questions and useful feedback from some of the examiners.”
“Today was the first time i attempted a full MMI and It was intense but i realised how to think on the spot. the feedback given after the interview was great and informative. it was also really helpful being able to listen to another candidate as i was able to come up with answers to the questions whilst they were but to also realise how they picked up on points that i may have missed. it was also really good that i saw someone else reacted to a role play as i saw how obvious clues the interviews were giving you that i didnt pick up when i was in them myself. overall this course was an amazing experience and i recommend it to any applicants with interviews!”
“It was very helpful”
“I started off thinking that I had most of the points down but as the interviews went on I felt less and less sure. The tutors really helped guide my answer and taught me how to structure certain answers. They helped calm everybody down and sent help via messages after sessions as well.”
“Definitely a good experience before interviews to see what it's like. Good structure as you also see another participant taking 10 questions. The questions were tailored to you based on the information you sent msag which was very useful. The feedback was also very valuable. Definitely would recommend.”
“I really enjoyed the experience. I had no idea what an online MMI would be like and gained a lot of information for how to improve. whats more, I met someone also applying to the same uni which was lovely”
“It was really good and felt realistic. It prepared me for answering questions under pressure. The feedback was also really useful and I was given tips on how to work on my answers.”
“Really detailed and useful feedback! I particularly enjoyed the personalised questions for our universities.”
“Excellent support, feedback.”
“It was a very realistic MMI and the feedback was also very useful to me. Thanks again to MSAG for this wonderful course!”
“Today was my first time doing MMI and I thought this experience was intense enough to motivate me to progress in my interview techniques but also beneficial, especially the feedback. I like the way I got to listen to another candidate as I got to learn from their feedback and questions as well as my own and it was nice to be able to relate others who are applying to medicine like me. I feel well supported in my medicine application.”
“The course was amazing, giving me an insight into what the interview process entails, and the different kinds of questions. The tutors gave us a structured approach to different question types. I had time to practice and the tutors offered detailed feedback that helped me improve.”
“It was helpful, I would suggest there could me an questionnaire to be answered concerning preferences beforehand in order to gain a bit of time.”
“Very helpful and informative team.”
“The course was very good and helped me feel more prepared for the Bmat.”
“The way in which it is structured is very useful: Usually, these types of courses have longer length videos, however the MSAG course has many smaller videos, which are broken down by specific topic. This made the content very comprehensible, and not at all boring.”
“I got mine reviewed twice, and was amazed by the sheer attention to detail that the team gave my personal statement. They also greatly helped me improve mine overnight. They do abide by their promised turnover time and offer support via emails! Highly recommend.”
“Dr. Dibah has provide me with a concise and clear suggestion and guide to the right choice of the UK medical Universities”
“It was really helpful.”
“I was so pleased with the amount of support given for my personal statement. The review was incredibly detailed and went through every line before giving an overall summary and score against my university choices.”
“The personal statement review was extremely detailed. I was able to improve a lot after the review, and get my 8000 character personal statement within the count. Highly recommend it!”
“I would wholeheartedly recommend MSAG counselling for your school choices. I was supported throughout the process by the entire team. We discussed my strengths and weaknesses and chose the best options for me. I was explained and provided reasoning for every viable university and together we came up with choices that I feel extremely confident and satisfied with.”
“The feedback the MSAG team gave me was very detailed and precise. It helped me understand which parts of my statement were weak and how I could improve on them.”
“We were very happy with Dr Dibah's advice and help! We found it extremely helpful and the statistics she told us helped us firm my university choices”
“Very helpful and insightful advice - made us think of options we hadn't considered previously. Would definitely recommend this service.”
“Excellent attention to detail, and comprehensive analysis of the statement. Helped me craft my perfect personal statement. Thank you !”
“Superb quality of service Highly recommended I would say the best on the market.”
“Very well laid and a lot of information that I would not have been able to access. Excellent for uni selection process.”
“All of the team at the MSAG are so friendly and always go above and beyond to help. Best of all, they gave me the confidence to believe I could do well in the UCAT. I went on the week long UCAT live online course in September. The tutors taught us lots helpful strategies and timing tips which were so valuable when it came to the real thing. I loved the small group teaching (something I was not used to at all) as I always felt comfortable to ask about anything I was unsure of. The way the course was structured (doing small chunks daily) was also something that was really helpful. It was great to have access to their online question bank too. We used this during the course and did mini tests for every section. The question bank prepared me so much more for the exam. QR and AR were especially helpful. With support from the MSAG and lots more practice I saw my score go up from 2560 band 3 (2019) to 2860 band 1(2020). I would recommend this course to anyone!”
“Easy to navigate. Pretty accurate Would love more questions.”
“So there are many different companies offering services to prospective medical students. So who do you choose. I vouch for MSAG - especially the personal statement review. Madeline Page is the star and asset to the company & Dr Jiva has wisdom beyond her years. I wish them continued success.”
“Very well constructed and easy to follow and implement resulting in a very good personal statement”
“I received a lot of help with the content of my personal statement. It needed a lot of work to improve but with the teams comments, I managed to improve it.”
“Excellent, I received a structured and easy to follow set of comments and suggestions.”
“Go for it. Dr. Jiva helped me make college choice decisions and also helped me assess risks involved.”
“My overall experience has been very good I wish I knew about this earlier , I would definitely recommend this to anyone !”
“Extremely professional approach. Dr.Jiva knows about Med school application and its intricacies she is able to guide keeping in the mind the strengths of each application extremely positive and passionate about about helping students My daughter has gained a lot from the meeting. Would definitely recommend a consultation. Earlier the better!”
“this course taught me so much and i can tell that i've really improved when i apply the new approaches and techniques the course taught me”
“Extremely informative, particularly taking both UCAT and academics into account. All our queries were very appropriately addressed and the suggestions provided were very good. Would recommend other prospective medical school applicants to utilise her consultations.”
“Great experience”
“I sat my UCAT this morning and was very nervous beforehand. Yesterday I was still struggling with timing (especially in Quantitative Reasoning) and so messaged theMSAG team for some last minute advice. Dibah and Rachel went above and beyond and let me ring them and ask them any questions I had (even on a Friday evening:)). They gave some great last minute advice and tips that I really believe improved my score massively. Also Dibah gave me some kind words this morning which really helped with my confidence. To start my preparation (about 3 weeks ago) I took part in theMSAG virtual one week class, which set up a brilliant base for me to work on. All the team at theMSAG who I interacted with (Madeleine, Dibah, Zahra and Rachel) were really knowledgable, kind and helpful, and I would say that it is because of their help that I managed to achieve an average of 775 overall and Band 1 in Situational Judgement. Thanks again!”
“Item was good. Helped me prepare for the UCAT”
“Exceptional service, went above and beyond. Definitely worth doing this course and I would highly recommend to any aspiring medical/dental students. The tutors care about the students”

I found it particularly useful that we were made aware of common pitfalls in each section, as well as how to avoid them. also, the approaches to each section which we were introduced to have proved very effective.”
“I really enjoyed my UCAT course. The tutors really helped me with using the right techniques & strategies for each section. They were also super friendly & interactive. I would definitely recommend it.”

“I found my ucat online coarse very helpful. It has helped me understand better how best to deal with the ucat and what to expect in the exam.”
“It has been my main resource and I am mostly impressed by how easy it is to use and access. Some of the webpages on the Learn section are a little fiddly/ and take a few attempts to load and the odd few contain mistakes. But other than that it has been invaluable so far and I intend to use it till the end! I would recommend it towards students, especially because it is the most financially accessible online resource I have found (At the time off writing ).”
“It was really useful. They taught us a lot of techniques that helped to increase my speed.”
“Great course delivered over Zoom using lots of great tools to aid interction. I definitely improved my scores over the course of the week. Thank you!”

“It is a very useful course that thought me a lot about how approach each question and how to manage time. All the tutors were very kind and open to question and discussion, which made the course very interactive, which improved the learning experience. Overall, a very helpful and enjoyable course.”
“This course is great for practicing loads of questions from all the sub sections. The videos explaining each section and how to approach the questions are extremely helpful. I would recommend this course to anyone sitting the UCAT as it is similar to the questions in the real exam.”
“It was nice and very helpful.”
“I found the MSAG's UCAT Live Online Classes incredibly helpful and a great asset to build upon their web-based content. Learning new strategies, techniques and tactical approaches to answering questions gave me a much needed boost. The focused sessions were packed with on-point content and the classes were delivered by friendly, knowledgeable and engaging tutors. MSAG as a company definitely embodies a caring ethos and this is certainly reflected in their personal approach, content and fair prices. I was genuinely impressed by the live courses as well as their targeted online material. I found listening to how other students were approaching and answering questions particularly helpful. Dibah and the MSAG team are genuine, understanding and very approachable. I would absolutely recommend them for UCAT/BMAT preparation.”
“Amazing! Tried a few different tools and this was by far the easiest and best to use!”
“good recommendations”
“I absolutely love the MSAG course and really appreciate all the time and thought that has went into it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and easy way to revise for the UCAT.”
“My experience was very pleasant, they went above and beyond to ensure you receive the best service. I would 100% recommend it!”
“It was very informative. I was able to ask any question I had and Dr Jiva had the answers ready. We made a clear plan about how to go forward with the application and how to maximise my chances of getting into Graduate Entry Medicine”
“My overall experience with this UCAT crash course has indeed been very useful. it helped me know the different useful strategies that I could use to solve sections like VR, QR, AR, DM AND SJT. Very fruitful, five stars.”
“The course was set out really well, very well thought out and the tutors were excellent! I was feeling quite overwhelmed by the UCAT from just doing an online (non-live) course, my own research and practice questions, but the live tutoring broke it all up into much more manageable sections, gave really good strategies and through all the interaction has made me feel a lot more confident”
“I enjoyed every minute of it. The course really helped me understand where I could improve my approach for the different sections. I feel a lot more confident about the UCAT now. The MSAG strategy was really useful and helped me get better at managing my time more efficiently.”
“This course has been extremely helpful. The online classes are fantastic with great advice and a positive learning environment. The online lessons and resources are comprehensive and very helpful.”
“It was excellent! It was easy and very user friendly”
“Great It wAs so helpful . And many tips to start off my learning experience .”
“It test was great, very reflective of the real exam. Would definitely recommend.”
“Very Friendly and informative.”
“Very good, but I wish I could combine the sections.Also the scrolling of the texts requires you to press on the scroller on the right side. Otherwise, good.”
“I found this coarse very informative, and it definitely gave me a good insite/idea of how the ucat works, and what is needed and involved in achieving a good score. Thank you Lemonie”
“It was really useful and gave me a good insight to the different types of questions that appear in the UCAT. I learnt a lot of tips to overcome problems like time constraint. Our teacher , Dr Rachel also took time in explaining all the questions from the mini practice test we did in the end and also patiently elaborated on the topics I was struggling with. Overall, it was really beneficial and would definitely help me in making my further practice more efficient and also do the exam well!”
“This course truly changed my outlook on the UCAT and gave me incredible motivation and confidence. I now have a set plan about how I will continue my UCAT preparation and I have a clear idea of my strengths and weaknesses. Before this course, I was overwhelmed by the UCAT, but now after having every section broken down, I know how to approach it. The course was very interactive and that helped massively as I was able to ask questions whenever I needed to and I received feedback immediately after answering a question. Seeing the other students' thought processes also helped. The UCAT tutor was what truly made this course invaluable to me, she was so helpful, understanding, and friendly. She had excellent teaching methods and made sure that everyone understood before moving on. She made the environment so comfortable which encouraged me to ask questions and participate. Overall, this course has been the most vital part of my UCAT preparation and it engaged me fully.”
“Dr Jiva is knowledgeable about the admissions processes and clearly understood the strengths and weaknesses of my application. She explained the whole process very clearly and gave me a strategy which made me confident in every step I take for applying to medical school.”
“Incredibly helpful”
“Good evening Dibah, Just wanted to thank you again for running the BMAT session today, The session was very comprehensive, engaging and you were personally very encouraging! I found talking through answers and the thought process behind them especially helpful and I feel so much mor”
“Really good, loved the purchase, tells you the corrections and you can choose how many q u want.”
“I did the live online UCAT course. I found it very useful- we covered how to approach all the different question types within each section of the UCAT, as well as time-saving tips and practice questions throughout each session. We did a mini-test at the end of each session and the teachers spent lots of time explaining the answers so that we could see where we went wrong. The very small group size was something which I liked as the teachers could take time to explain any questions I had. The teachers were very friendly and I liked having 3 different teachers throughout the 5-day course. The 5-day course was particularly useful as it allowed time for me to ask about anything that I struggled with across the week. In addition to the live online course, the online learning platform which they provide with it is very useful with lots of videos explaining different approaches to the questions and lots of practice questions. Overall, I learnt a lot from the course and really enjoyed it.”
“Very good experience”
“Amazing! It is extremely well structured and takes you through each of the sections really well. I really like all the features offered and the fact that you can resume wherever you left.”
“Good session and learned lots about the application process and how the Med schools differ regarding entry requirements”
“I have started using this after using the self-study course and have found it to be extremely useful! it is so easy to navigate and has a very realistic layout(including the calculator) and allows you to personalize which kind of practice you want to do and even tracks your progress. after you finish a practice session, it tells you how much time you spent on each question and gives you a written explanation to the question as well. Overall, I really have enjoyed all aspects of the question bank and would advise everyone to purchase it.”
“This is an amazing opportunity for all students to revise for UCAT early and is an amazing tool via which you can recieve the guidance that you actually need. Usually people end up panic revising 4 weeks before the test but this course has assured me that I will not be the one panicking. This is absolutely amazing and I cannot explain my gratitude to theMSAG for making this available to us enough. Thank you very much!”
“Absolutely amazing! would recommend :)”
“Great product! There are a large variety of questions which really help to prepare you for the UCAT exam”
“It was very useful”
“I was very satisfied with the experience. I learned so much and feel much more comfortable, now that I have a clearer picture on what I am supposed to do and how I am supposed to do it.”
“Hi Dr. Jiva, Wow! Thank you for the preliminary consulting report. The statistics are very informative of what a normal year looks like for them and will be very helpful for when we make the final shortlist. I know this is a bit impossible to predict, but I am hopeful”
“Overall this course was great in giving helpful tips for each section and giving information on how to tackle certain question types.”
“Definitely helpful.”
“Happy to have known this resource through a friend. Very useful with great tips. Very detailed explanatory videos. Good if we could have more practice questions.”
“The MSAG UCAT course has been a huge help in supporting my preparation for the UCAT. The course guides you through all the sections in the UCAT: how to tackle each question, how long to spend on it and tips and advice which would make it easier to answer. They’re advice is very helpful and I’ve already started to see improvement. There are also practice questions that you can do and then are then explained which really helps with improvement! The UCAT is heavily time pressured and they also give amazing tips on how to save time in the exam which is extremely useful. I would definitely recommend the course.”
“I have only used it for a short while but it has already helped me greatly. The short videos which get the points across clearly are very useful and I have picked up many new tips already. However, sometimes the audio cuts out towards the end of videos so I am left trying to understand just from small bits of text that appear on the screen. Apart from that, I am loving this course!”
“This enabled me to really prepare for UCAT and it was a great resource to be able to use. The questions were of great quality.”
“I found this course very useful, giving many useful tips and tricks in an accessible style. I would definitely recommend this course to other people preparing to do the UCAT.”
“It was quite good, the videos were excellent, however there were a few glitches in the system, particularly when doing the additional questions.”
“Includes all sections of the UCAT paper, questions similar to real, and marks for you - therefore better than getting a book where you have to do it yourself. Also includes full trial papers (have not done yet) but looks very helpful in getting practice of the full test.”
“This was a really useful course in helping me prepare for my UCAT exam.”
“It was good there were sufficient extra questions at the end to make sure we understood. The tips and hints given were very useful and definitely worked. Although there were some times where I would start one of the questions the is in the middle of the lesson structure but the timer for the additional questions would start as well, so when I’d get to the additional questions it says I’ve already completed it when I haven’t. Besides that, everything is really good and easy to follow.”
“incredibly helpful course!”
“The UCAT online course has lots of helpful tools, and guides you with videos and practice questions with worked solutions. You can follow these videos at your own pace and work around you which is really useful.”
“I have no concerns with the quality of advice and teaching methods. The only think which is a problem for me is that the videos freeze and buffer quite often, with the audia still audible, but the video being frozen. I don't think it is a problem with my internet, as my internet connection is quite good. It would be good if this can be improved.”
“There were loads of extra questions at the end to solidify your knowledge and the tips were really helpful too. It's great that the questions are similar to the real thing”
“Incredible source for UCAT preparation. The content of the UCAT online course has been very useful along with lot of tips in how to approach the questions in the constricted time. The videos can be played back to repeat the lesson at any time. The tips are very detailed and easily understandable. Would like to have more harder practice questions to equip for the exam day.”
“It was extremely helpful for preparation and I highly recommend this product to others.”
“I found this course very useful with tips for UCAT and the level of detail.”
“It was really helpful and gave some much needed guidance in this area”
“Amazing resource, the videos are not intimidating. The whole application is perfect”
“This course has a lot of useful tips followed by practice questions, which helps to reinforce what is learnt. Would definitely recommend!”
“The course includes really informative videos that are easy to understand. Having a choice to practise some questions after each section is also really helpful as it helps put our new skills to practice.”
“this course really explains each question type step by step, and gives practice Q’s to reinforce learning which is really helpful, I recommend it”
“Overall, it found it extremely easy to follow and very in depth. It made clear the intent of the UCAT Exam and how to tackle the questions in the most efficient way. I have only been doing it on and off for about a week but I feel so much more confident in my ability to ace certain parts of the exam.”
“It was extremely useful. It helps simplify what I need to focus on and it puts all resources in one place. It was not overwhelming and I truly believe it is a wonderful tool to help build skills to succeed in UCAT exams.”
“Really good course, It is easy to follow and in-depth. My confidence has improved due to it and I'm sure it will really benefit my overall UCAT score. Would definitely recommend”
“Very useful. Covers the specification for UCAT well.”
“It’s hard to know where to start when looking at UCAT revision and I think having more affordable options with great reviews definitely makes it easier for people to decide what to use - I know I’d much rather pay £40 for a course with great reviews than to pay much more for a course that offers similar things. I’d like to thank you for making a revision resource which is affordable and seems to be very helpful and in the future, if there is any way that I could help out with anything, I’d be more than happy to do so! Best wishes, Maddie On Fri, 24 Apr 2020 at 19:43, Dibah Jiva <diba...”

“Great product, would give a 10/10. My experience so far has been great as this has helped me understand the different sections better and also provided me with many practice questions which again strengthened my understanding.”
“The videos were quite clear on how to help prepare for the ucat, and helps makes the whole process less daunting. However, some videos did freeze. Some questions would be useful to do at the end of each section”
“I'm new to the course but so far the experience has been great!”
“The course was very informative on all the different areas and question types within the UCAT paper. What I personally found most useful was the recommended timing required for each question type, alongside how to tackle each question type and how to flag questions you find difficult.”
“I have not been doing the course for long, but the organisation and logical method of the course allows a student to be engaged and focus at all times. It is knowledgeable and enriching.”
“It has been really good so far and helpful.”

“It is a very good course with a lot of practice questions .Videos are very useful as they explain concepts well and then go through questions.Questions are timed making it easier to do questions. very good layout of different sub tests and is very organised .Overall i really enjoy this product and feel as though it is helping me alot .”
“Very good - The teaching in the verbal reasoning section especially provide useful tips and tricks that can help you quickly answer questions.”
“This is very well structured. I have been able to work on each section individually and give my undivided attention. Also, I would say that this resource gives a more accurate picture of what taking the test will feel like, compared to the books, so it allows you to feel comfortable and become used to taking the test on a computer/ laptop!”
“I have only completed 2 of the sections so far but that is enough for me to see how great this course is. The videos help explain different tricks you can apply to each question type and it has been so helpful in understanding how to answer each question.”
“Provides all the necessary sections of the UCAT exam in great detail - very informative and well organised. The videos provided are extremely useful , with helpful tips. I definitely recommend this course if you are planning on taking the UCAT exam.”
“It is a good course, I found it really useful with lots of helpful tips and good preparation”
“I think it is an amazing tool as it perfectly categorises the different aspects that require attention and allows simple compartmentalisation to occur on all the possible subsections that could occur. The level of detail is immensely appreciated and my only concern for this tool would be the lack of advertisement it receives, as I wish I could have found it sooner. Nonetheless, there is plenty of time for me to utilise its features to the maximum in order to ensure optimum preparation for the test.”
“I've gotten through half of the course now and I have to say i'm impressed! The videos are concise but well informed so you can litterally watch them anywhere, I love how it shows you what you have and havent done so I know exactly where I left off. The videos even give you step by step help with additional questions so you know where you go wrong. I gave it a four, so far I would have loved a whole seperate range of tests included in the course that we can do seperatley but who's to say that wont come with time.”
“Very good and helpful introduction to the UCAT and further in depth teaching in each section.”
“This UCAT Preparation package proved to be useful in giving myself a better insight as to what tips and tricks are needed to aid oneself in different sections of the test. I found that it was interactive whilst allowing oneself to attempt practice questions out of their own comfort. It had covered a broad range of details that were 'succinct' yet 'detailed' simultaneously.”
“I can't believe I saying this but I am now actually enjoying revising for UCAT. Previously I was using a practice question book and Medify which were great resources however I felt I was just answering questions cluelessly and never improving. I felt like I didn't know any of the techniques and was feeling stressed out as I didn't feel like I was improving. I am so glad I came across this site as I am actually taught techniques in short interactive videos. Also, I enjoy the options where I get to practice what has been taught right away and see how I've improved. Seeing myself constantly improving makes me feel more confident in sitting the UCAT this summer/autumn and I will definitely recommend this course to my friends :)”
“A very informative course with very useful tips. Also, the video tutorials are great and explained well.”
“Great”
“I have found the video tutorials really helpful and accessible. They are engaging and concise videos. My only criticism would be the actual website accessibility, every time I have tried to access the online question resource it has been “under construction” or unaccessible.”

“Overall, this product was great. The only major concern was the progress tracker not staying up to date all of the time”
“Very helpful, to look at strategies before tackling the UCAT blindly.”

“It was pretty good. I would have liked it more if there were more interviewers but I really like the tailored experience.”
“I went to my first course very apprehensive as I was unsure of how to progress in my performance. The course facilitators were very knowledgable and useful in terms of strategising how to present. Whilst I found the knowledge to be things I had looked at I found the perspectives of the facilitators invaluable. The practise was also extensive and gave me plenty of ideas on how to improve further and where to direct my practise.”

“Good”
“Very friendly and helpful tutors They obviously knew their stuff”
“Very good course. Worth it”
“It was a very good stimulation of the actual MMI with practical feedback. The paired structure was great as you get to practice 10 questions as well as listen to 10 other questions other students answered.”

“my overall experience was absolutely amazing. It was very informative and helped me clear out many issues.”
“10-Oct”
“The meeting with Dr Dibah Jiva was an eye opener in many ways. Our main idea of seeking the consultation was to know whether we are doing the right things towards our goal of admission to a Med school. Dr Jiva was extremely cordial and understanding. She gave us a clear idea of our strengths and weaknesses and gave valuable inputs on the things we have to do. She was able to answer all our queries. Overall the meeting was illuminating and productive.”
“The interview course went into a lot of detail and I learnt a lot about how to structure my answers for my upcoming interview. Very helpful”
“I have taken other courses for ucat, BMAT, interview courses and MSAG had the best package in terms of theory based teaching plus individual practice. The feedback given was very constructive and the atmosphere was very friendly and non judgemental. I would recommend this course to People who have and have not done any preparation yet for their interviews.”

“I enjoyed my experience overall and it was very beneficial for me to have to this. I have learnt new mnemonics to help me retain the information better and how to use them structure my answers better.

I have a much deeper understanding on how to structure answers and go beyond what the typical medical applicant may say.

It may be useful to be given a longer list of current hot topics, that we can research into when we leave.”

“My son found this very helpful, Thank you.”
“I found the whole session very valuable as I gained good feedback that I can reflect on. I also liked how some questions were specific to my personal statement but maybe more than 10 stations would be better. As a dentist, I would have preferred being partnered with another dentist- so maybe a separate session? Unfortunately I was only given 8 out of 10 of the mark schemes and have been emailing to send the last two asap but still yet to receive and interview is tomorrow!”
“My son attended the course and was delighted with the detailed content of the day. Most useful and professional and he would recommend it”
“Great! I had already prepared some answers to general MMI questions so being able to speak them out to examiners gave me more confidence. Moreover, this experience has helped me feel better prepared to think on my feet for questions I hadn’t prepared in advance. I would recommend this to people who already have a general idea of how MMI works and have done some preparation beforehand.”

“found the feedback really useful from the facilitators - maybe swap each time for studdents.”
“Excellent. It has made me grow so much in confidence. Putting myself under pressured situations, such as answering questions with short preparation times, just like my real interview will be has made me understand how important structure is and how easy it is to answer a question I don’t know, so long as I use structure.

“Very informative and engaging throughout the whole day. Both tutors were enthusiastic and helpful. Generally just a very useful day.”
“The day was very informative. The tutors were very knowledgable and explained everything in detail. The structures that we learnt have given me confidence when answering the different types of questions”
“I really enjoyed my time at the MMI circuit. It was great to be interviewed by people I had never met before and in a proper interview scenario. I had my first real interview yesterday and I was able to reflect on what went well and what went badly at the MSAG and use this to better my answers.”
“It was very useful because it was tailored to our university choices and the main areas we wanted to improve on. A lot of very detailed feedback which is helpful.”
“very realistic, challenging but useful to have feedback specific to us”
“I really learnt a lot and I liked how the questions were targeted to each person. Occasionally I felt the feedback wasn’t specific as the notes on their laptop wouldn’t load which was a bit of a waste. Also disheartened to be told not following spies structure that am not aware of - will look into it though.”
“Highly valuable, and each lesson was made easy enough to follow”
“Very informative with great feedback on answering a variety of questions. Group interview especially helpful as most courses don't offer it. Only major complaint was not enough emphasis on the role play and not everyone, my self included, got a turn at it.”
“Really great practice under pressure. Also I really liked that the questions were tailored to my universities of choice and that the examiner knew the details of the different courses. The interview course that I did the day before really helped with structuring my answers.”
“Overall MMI stations were great. Good practice and feedback. Good simulation of technique”
“It was a very good experience and opportunity for me to be able to practice and apply what I learned yesterday at the Interview course.”
“very useful and helpful in my preperation”

“I found the experience very informative. The questions where tailored to our choices and personal statement which gave me a clear idea what to prepare for.”
“Very great circuit with specific questions that prepare very well for the real thing. Only thing I can suggest would maybe be with feedback have the question that was asked notes down so theres no chance of forgetting it. Great people and interviewers and feel much more confident of my interviews now (they're great actors too)!”
“Very helpful overall. I found the personalised questions and feedback useful along with the interview style setting and like written feedback. The cameras are a good idea even if the technology didn’t cooperate some of the time.”

“Really helpful and would recommend to anyone who has just applied for medicine/ awaiting interview”
“It was a very beneficial course. The facilitators went through the structure and approach to different question types which is really useful to now apply to my answers. It has allowed me to be more concise. Also found out more information about NHS hot topics. I feel more confident with tackling MMI stations. I would recommend to a friend.”
“A really engaging course! It allowed me to learn a lot about how exactly to move forward on my preparations for interview. The two tutors were knowledgeable and constantly pushed the students while never becoming overbearing. The course really boosted my confidence.”
“The interview course was so so good. I think it was really informative and interesting. I honestly wasn’t too excited to come to the course today but I’m happy to say that I’m pleasantly surprised! A lot of helpful information was given to us today and Ash and Caroline were great teachers and they gave some good constructive feedback. They were also so nice and answered all questions.”
“It was an intense but extremely useful day. Thank you Kate and Zahra!”
“Exceptional teaching standard, encouraged interactive learning. Felt I am a lot more aware of hot topics and more importantly how to use them. Practiced miscellaneous questions that you wouldn't usually get the chance to prepare for and considered some key questions about our reasoning for applying for medicine Would fully recommend”
“Completely worthwhile, well structured and offered individual help to any individual questions I had.”

Rachel and Firaz were very friendly and very knowledgeable which really helped in understanding techniques. I would definitely recommend it his course.”
“The course was extremely informative. Plenty of content on many possible questions were covered. Most importantly the oppurtunity was given to practice questions under time pressure. The small class size made it convenient to ask questions to the two doctors. The two doctors were very supportive and friendly and really encouraged me to come out of my comfort zone and understand how to structure my answers. I would recommend this to anyone looking for help with interview skills.”
“It was overall very helpful and useful. I have more confidence now and I feel more prepared for things that may come up on my interviews. I liked how there were different approaches to learning different things, and I especially liked being able to work in smaller groups, and getting frequent feedback.”

“Really well structured course and covered so much. I feel that after a bit of practice with the online materials I'll be ready for any question!”
“The course was well structured and it is personally tailored to you which I thought was amazing. The coaches already knew your background (via reading your personal statement) and universities you have applied to and tailored everything to you. The course helped me structure some of the interview questions which came up on the actual interview. I have learnt so much during the course and the NHS hot topic course that comes with it is excellent and you can view it any time for a year which is fantastic. Some of the coaches are actual interviewers therefore you get a real feel for the interview (e.g. Questions & what they are looking for) and they give you immediate feedback to help you prepare. The service is amazing – every time I have called to ask questions about the course they have always picked up or have called back within the same hour. It is definitely worth the money; time and they honestly care about you and your journey to medical school which is rare!”
“I recommend this product. Very helpful, professional advice.”
“Really good feedback and good advice on how to improve structure.”
“This was an extremely useful circuit. I was ill-prepared for today but this has given me a clear idea of what I am now in for.”
“Really useful experience in providing feedback on your interviews skills and giving you points on which you need to improve in order to maximise your performance.”
“The content and the structure of this course is the two aspects that really stand out to me. It is very realistic in simulating what the real interview will be like. Simply, due to the fact that questions are personalised to your chosen university. The content and breath of questions asked definitely tested my ability to be dynamic and adapt to new situations and scenarios on the spot. Overall, this course has be fantastic for my university interview preparation!”
“It was very useful and gave an idea of what the real thing will be like.”
“Learned lots about strutting answers, and aspects of the structure of the NHS. Will make use of the online videos available to me.”
“This course gave me excellent insight into the styles of questions that are asked at interviews. I walked in today not knowing much about interview content and styles however walking out today I am very content with my experience and I have gained lots of knowledge. This is a highly recommended ale course!”
“I really enjoyed the interview course today and learnt a lot more about the interview process and what I need to focus on in the coming weeks. The way the course was structured was highly beneficial for my learning and the group of 12 (split into 2) was very helpful in getting the most out of the experience. The staff were very energetic and the course was clearly well planned out. I appreciated the opportunities for questions and recording the practices we did alongside feedback.”
“Overall really useful. Much better idea of how I need to structure my answers and it’s simply a matter of practice. Wish there was a way to have access to more unique questions to do with each of my university choices. Overall I was very pleased.”
“Really informative. Covered all the different structures needed to answer different types of questions, as well as important content NHS hot topics and ethics to name a few. Got lots of practice answering questions and received feedback as to how we and and how to improve. These attempts were filmed which I’m sure will be very useful but extremely awkard to watch back later!! Those running the course were really knowledgeable and could answer ever question asked and didn’t mind explaining things again.”
“Really helpful. Gave a lot of insight in the types of questions that could come up that I didn’t know could such as the video or picture. I found the acronyms for giving an example and breaking bad news really useful as I have struggled structuring my answers. I also found the information on the challenges to the NHS particularly helpful and how to deal with role play.”
“Very thorough teaching of what an MMI entails and what techniques you should use to perform well. Interview experience was very good at placing me under pressure and learning how to correctly structure an interview answer. Good balance of time spent on each section throughout the day. Recording of answers will be very helpful to look back on. To improve, more example interview questions could be provided however I think this course will improve my performance at interview.”
“Very interactive, really pulled me out of comfort zone. I started the day reasonably shy, however the tutors really helped me to come out of my self. I noticed how the more quieter members of the course were involved in the course by the tutors. Improvements: Although it’s difficult due to reasonable sized class, tailoring the experience to each individual and their personable statement could definitely be improved. Do less teaching, more active interview practice. Emphasis that members need to do the videos and revise their knowledge of interview prior to course, so more actual interview practice can be done! Overall, great experience and great tutors.”
“In all honesty, I didn’t think I would need the course as I have plenty of interview experience before, however, within the first 15 minutes I realised that i definitely needed it. With no prior knowledge of the kinds of questions they’d be asking, everything was new to me and being given tailored advice was very useful. It was also great to hear others responses to answers as it gave me ideas but also an insight into what the other applicants would be like. Some parts were slow, such as the NHS challenge practice questions and going through the pneumonics. Overall very helpful.”
“Very interactive and gave us an extremely solid foundation and covered all the bases. Ensured everyone practiced all the different types of questions which was also very helpful.”
“Amazing !!!! Appreciate them being able to go over the complete range of different things univerisites can ask us.”
“I feel that the course was very informative and provided a broad insight on the types of questions and ways in which theses questions are asked. Brief mention of specific universities was mentioned which gave a deeper insight. I particularly think the idea of recording answers and feedback will pose as beneficial when looking over notes and preparing further for the interview.”
“It provided me with more confidence, which is something I often lack when I'm in new situations, the combination of practicing then teaching was helpful in my understanding of the separate stations. I would've liked to have spent more time on the role play stations.”
“It was really useful, especially for preparation of MMIs as prior to the course, I had no information about the different stations. I learnt a lot from how to structure my answers and what to include in each part.”
“I did the 1 day interview course and I am applying for graduate medicine. It was an incredible course, expensive and very intense but well worth the money & time. The small class size means that you can have all your specific questions answered and also practice answering questions yourself. I feel so much more prepared for my interview now - I don't know what I would have done without this!”
“It was extremely helpful as Ash and Dibah gave excellent advice and in the end we produced a very strong PS which I am very happy with.”
“It was very good as I was given the correct information to make my decision if which unis to use. It was a confidence boost and the advice was very useful.”

“A jam packed day that covered all aspects of the medical interviews. I am leaving feeling much more confident about my interview technique. It’s amazing what a day can do! Expensive but worth it.”
“Very factual, I learnt a lot of information which will be very useful for my interview process”
“Overall was very pleased with the course instructors and their personalised feedback. The video recordings which you can see what you did well and not so well on was also useful. The interview techniques for structuring a range of questions were very helpful. The range of questions you answer helps build confidence.”
“It was a great and interesting experience and it really helped to improve my confidence and interview techniques.”
“I had my personal statement reviewed 3 times by the MSAG team and I have to say everyone went above and beyond my expectation. The level of detail and care taken to give me constructive notes and help cutting down words was amazing. So much care was also taken to understand what I wanted to get across in my statement and help me to develop this into a good piece. Thank you so much! I would highly recommend this review service.”
“Excellent insider information and practice.”
“The course was very helpful and very personallised.”
“Very detailed, personal service involving great approaches to questions whilst promoting individual responses.”
“Very good course”
“Course provided an excellent insight into what the interviewers are looking for as well as providing structures to most effectively complete the stations”
“The experience was honestly a really good day and the facilitators tried to ease us into it with a little bit of an ice breaker. The information was absolutely amazing and summarised exactly what we needed to know. The practise stations were really good as well”
“I could not recommend this service more! The feedback was detailed and extremely constructive. Despite using the express service, Dr Jiva and her team thoroughly reviewed my personal statement and improved it immensely! They were also very quick at responding to emails which was very comforting with the deadline looming. The marking scheme made me look at my PS in a different way and I could not recommend this exceptional service more!”
“Dr Jiva’ s team helped me immensely with my personal statement . They ensured that I had addressed all the key areas and offered constructive feedback on how to improve my statement . They also helped me in reducing the word count. I would highly recommend MSAG.”
“The overall experience was very helpful. The reviewers provided very useful comments and advice on my personal statement. I am very happy with the service.”
“--- BODY --- Dear Dr Jiva Thank you for reading this email, Ill cut straight to the point(sorry if I am bothering you but I would highly appreciate your help). Im a gap year student Ive known Ash since 2017 when he came to my school and ive attended the MSAG Ucat course.”
“Excellent service. Particularly timely face to face discussion enables the student to focus on the right thing vs everything. And help them to bring the important relevant experiences forward vs all the experiences. This is not a PS writing service, this is an excellent PS support service to make the individuals focus on the right content.”
“I had a two hour tutorial with Dr Mandavia and cannot recommend him highly enough. He was extremely patient, answering all my questions and tirelessly exploring the options in terms of content, vocabulary and grammar to achieve the most satisfactory end result. I had the benefit of his advice but he ensured that the end result was still very much my personal statement which completely reflected my experience and aspirations. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his generous assistance.”
“Excellent. Superb service, help and support from Dibah, Ash and team. The method of writing a PS is very different to other forms of writing and their intimate knowledge of how to structure and phrase each paragraph was invaluable.”
“The team put in so much effort into giving me very detailed comments on how to make my personal statement better. I had quite a journey from being under the word count but poor quality, to being over double the word count with better content but no idea how and what to cut out. It's excellent the reviewers highlight what you've done well, as well as what needs work and how to rephrase things. The fact that it is checked against the criteria for specific medical schools I am applying for is a bonus and an excellent feature of the review. I recommend this review service as personally I wouldn't have been able to write my personal statement as it is now without them. Thank you so much!”
“It was great, really helped me to redraft the whole PS and rewrite it.”
“Dr. Jiva Dibah, who is trained as a medical doctor, gave us clear, informed personal advice that allowed us to change our preliminary list of schools to which we could confidently apply. We discussed 10-15 schools within a short time span, receiving information that was not easily available on the internet, or that we had simply completely overlooked, and insights about how attractive studying and working in different parts of the UK might be. Finding a medical school where you have a decent chance of being accepted is low even with outstanding grades and non-academics and decent UCATs, and Dr. Jiva will help you match your strengths to the school's application process and requirements. We will have a second meeting when the UCAT final scores are out. Thank you for the inspiration and guidance!”
“I really enjoyed the UCAT preparation course. It gave me some very useful techniques and tips to use but the best thing about this course was how well it was organised and structured. It gave me reassurance that it is possible to do well by putting in effort and it's not just luck.”
“It was very informative and much needed explanation of next steps in my planning. Thank you so much Dibah.”
“As a an international student we all know it’s really competitive to get into medicine in the UK. And we as international students are always worried regarding the ratio of applicants to places as well as how Universities select students. Most of such information I couldn’t find in the Universties websites. Thanks to Dr. Dibah not only for providing me with all of this of information but for showing me which universities I should apply to with my low UCAT score and being an international applicant.”
“It is really good at giving you a good base of understanding of the UCAT course and then helping you further improve your UCAT score.”
“Such a great course, the people are incredible and the way it is set out and explained is great. All information is given easily and worked through with timed questions to help you understand where you need improvement. The tips and guidelines are really helpful and definitely will help when I take my test. I would recommend this to anyone and I was sad that is was over because I had such a nice time.”
“Overall the course was beneficial - it gave me a chance to understand the structure and timing of the exam, the different question types that could come up and the way in which to approach questions. I think the course could be improved with the structure, allowing more time to go over the harder concepts, and potentially more time to practice questions under time pressure. The staff were lovely and really helpful and kind throughout.”
“Really good learnt a lot and seen my areas on which to improve”
“Both me and My son were very impressed with counselling done by Dr Jiva , we got useful tips and got answers to all the questions we had in mind, we will work on her advise and will be continuous in touch untill my son gets into Medicine.. thanks very much”
“The feedback was detailed and in-depth, and contained many pieces of actionable advice which I have found immensely valuable in writing my personal statement. I have had a great experience using this review, and highly recommend it!”
“I found the two day UCAT course very helpful as every part of the exam was explained very clearly with worked examples and questions we did ourself. I also felt the small group size aided my learning as I needed to be engaged and listening at all times as to play an active role in the group.”
“Very helpful, good tips”
“It was useful and the strategies we were taught were really helpful, also liked practicing under times conditions, overall really productive :)”
“It was very informative and helped me with my preparation for the UCAT. I gained a lot of knowledge and the teaching was interesting and engaging.”
“Very knowledgeable and insightful as to what to expect in the exam and also past the exam. Will be returning on another course. Thanks again!”
“It was really useful. We got an in depth look at every section and lots of tips for the different types of questions. The mini tests at the end were also really useful! Both the students and the instructor were very nice and were very welcoming.”
“Good two days learning about different types of questions and how to answer them in the most efficient manner. Took a lot from the course and now am more confident in using the techniques to answer questions.”
“The 2 day course covered many useful techniques to help me improve at answering all the different types of UCAT questions. Both the tutors were friendly and engaging making the course worthwhile.”
“Thought it was really good, but maybe some more questions would make it even better”
“I had a very productive two days in which I learned about new techniques to use and now have a much better understanding of the way questions are asked and how to answer them.”
“Good. No short keybuttons but good.”
“Very good detailed explanation of the UCAT subsets and types of questions asked.”
“Great overall course that will help me to focus on specific areas and techniques for the UCAT exam and provides a great foundation to prepare. Teacher was really great, friendly and very supportive.”
“I am glad I chose The MSAG as my revision for the UCAT. It has given me many tips on how to answer a variety of question in each subtest and traps not to fall in. I enjoy how the lessons have been sequenced and step by step learning that explains everything amazingly.”
“Overall the experience was very good, learnt alot of new techniques that have made me more confident and I will apply to practice on the portal. Has given me a more tactical mindset that I can use to address the questions.”
“Overall, very good. Got some good help with techniques for answering tough questions, particularly on QR and AR sections. Good to be able to ask questions about what is on the online course. Some access to more practice questions would be helpful to review new methods.”
“Found MSAG quite late in my revision. Wish I found it sooner though. Hoping to attend the interview course to start preparing for the 2020 intake.”
“I learned a lot, enjoyed practicing questions and being put into realistic time pressure to see how I was doing. Also I especially liked feedback on situational judgement.”
“This course was very helpful for directing my revision. I think this course would be helpful at any stage of their study. I feel much more prepared now :)”
“Aqsa was amazingly awesome. Her teaching method was wonderful and very effective for me. I was able to understand things I initially thought were too difficult. Now my confidence level is 7 out of 10. With the information she has shared, I can practice more and I feel confident that I will do well in my test. Thank you to the entire msag team and specially Dr Asqa”
“Super helpful and a good foundation to build my revision on. It was super intense but it pays off when you are doing the revision at home for it. Staff lovely and very supportive and extremely helpful . Couldn’t recommend this enough it’s worth every penny x”
“Great service. Really helpful tips and the customer service is stellar!! I would recommend MSAG to anyone.”
“Extremely intense workshop, but absolutely worth it for the experience to ensure high performance. The feedback from the staff regarding your performance during both days was honest and criticial, making sure that you understand your weaknesses and how to overcome them. Could not recommend higher.”
“The course and online videos are amazing, most importantly the support by Dr Jiva and MSAG team during and after the course was really great unlike other courses”
“I attended two of these mmi circuits and they were brilliant! The main thing they are soo good at is giving you a very realistic feel of the interview - long, exhausting and challenging. These strict conditions were not possible for me to set up by myself at home so this mmi circuit helped me to practice my interview skills in strict timing as well as giving me a realistic experience of an mmi. The facilitators were very good at giving specific feedback (not the generic type) which enabled me to pinpoint exactly what were my weaknesses. Also you get to say your answers in front of another applicant which, although added to my nerves, built my confidence gradually and allowed me to learn from other apllicants on how they structure and deliver their answers. Totally worth it!”
“Very good arrangements and excellent course - ticked all the boxes”
“Very good course. I think the actual MMI practice was very good in preparing for the interview on top of the morning theoretical content discussion. Bit on the expensive side but worth it.”
“Good course . Informative”
“The doctors were experienced and gave good tips”
“Very useful in setting in foundations in practice for MMI style interviews. Effectively taught structuring of answers, how to handle group tasks and role-play, along with tricky stations. The MMI practice circuit was very good practice, and had excellent feedback.”
“This course was well organised. The preparation materials and details of the course were sent out in good time. The structure of the day was good, with relevant topics covered in appropriately sized groups. My daughter felt that she gained positively from attending this course. We're now hoping to get some interview offers!”
“The circuit was extremely helpful in preparation for my dental school interview for specific unis. I do wish that the written reports could be emailed back to us.”
“Found MSAG quite late in my revision. Wish I found it sooner though. Hoping to attend the interview course to start preparing for the 2020 intake.”
“Great course. Very helpful in giving an idea as to what MMIs are like and the style of questioning, conduct and answering techniques.”
“I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs that boost to get over that hurdle in the MMI stations. The supplied information was very useful and informative with the current NHS topics as well as the medical ethics scenarios. The video caption of my interview has taught me a lot about my body language and what I had to work on from the feedback from the Doctors who have helped with the at most dedication and advice to take onboard to work on. The whole course was interactive as a group or on an individual basis; I was very confident that I have picked the right team to help me bridge the gap. Thank you theMSAG team and keep up the good work. I am definitely recommending my colleagues to attend this course.”
“I am so delighted and wanted to thank you and everyone at MSAG for all your help. The circuit really helped me and I felt very prepared after attending it.”
“Just wanted to say thank you to all of you for your help with interview preparation at the start of this year - I received an offer today for the 4yr course at SGUL which was very much top choice for me going into this process. The prep that you all did with me (and the MSAG course resources) really helped improve my skills for what was quite a competitive interview at St George’s – thank you.”
