Like all of MedEntry’s preparation materials,
Eureka is a top-quality, focused program. All questions in the program
are designed to simulate the UMAT accurately. You can test this for
yourself. Simply use our free trial and compare this to the questions
ACER releases in their UMAT guide. Contrast this with other programs
available, and you’ll know why more people are choosing Eureka!

Does Eureka! provide practice for shapes questions ?
The Eureka! program is especially
designed for patterns and sequences questions in section 3 of the UMAT. This is because there has been a shift towards patterns and sequences questions over the past few years. In fact, in 2006, section 3 was ENTIRELY comprised of patterns and sequences questions (shapes questions no longer appeared).
However, the UMAT changes every year and there is no guarantee that ACER will not reinstate some shapes questions in section 3 in the future. This is why we suggest students do the vast majority of their section 3 practice on patterns and sequences (through Eureka) but also become familiar with shapes questions.
To this end, Eureka also has a module that can create unlimited Shapes (Type I and II) questions. At MedEntry, we cover all bases so that our students are prepared for whatever questions they are confronted with in the UMAT.
In addition to the Eureka! program,
MedEntry offers extensive materials and practice questions for patterns and sequences section 3 questions. There are hundreds of questions in
our full-length practice exams, as well as extra drills. These materials
are available as part of all packages, including the platinum package.

[Back to Top]
Is
paying by credit card over the internet secure?
MedEntry uses Eway (www.eway.com.au)
as our payment gateway. Eway is highly secure and is supported by
Australia’s leading banks, including CBA, NAB, ANZ and St George.
For your protection, all transactions are Secured with 128 bit encyption
and SSL technology.
SSL is an encryption standard that
prevents anyone from intercepting and reading the data stream between
the client and the website.
Transactions through a server using
SSL are far safer than using a credit card at a petrol station, restaurant
or other retail establishments.
Your greatest risk for exposure
is NOT the use of properly secured WWW Sites for financial transactions,
but rather your everyday person-to-person transactions. The server
software allows clients (surfers) to access WWW pages using SSL-based
security. SSL is an encryption standard that prevents anyone from
intercepting and reading the data stream between the client and the
server. Thus, SSL is ideal for accepting sensitive data over the Internet,
such as credit-card numbers or controlled access passwords.
If you are concerned about providing
your credit card details over the internet, you can purchase your
products by money order, personal cheque, bank cheque or Electronic
Funds Transfer (EFT).
