1About Me
My name is Kate and I am an ambitious student of medicine at University College Cork, a hockey player and a sailing instructor with a strong work ethic. I believe that hard work pays off but also that having fun with friends and family is an equally important aspect to life. I used this mindset to achieve 625 points in my leaving cert whilst also leading a social and active lifestyle. To this day I still play hockey competitively with college and enjoy going out with my friends. I understand that the HPAT is difficult to begin with but I strongly believe that vast improvement is possible with practice. At the beginning I struggled to figure out the question styles but with lots of practice I achieved the 92nd percentile in the final exam. I would love to share with you some of the tips and tricks I picked up along the way!!
My teaching style
I teach in a way that simplifies complex material by using diagrams and other tips and tricks I’ve gathered! I believe that practice makes perfect when it comes to the HPAT so my lessons are planned with a huge emphasis on practice questions. After completing the questions I will go through the correct answers and tips on how to avoid the same mistakes next time. Timing is one of the hardest aspects to the HPAT so I also ensure to include some timed mini tests which will make the actual exam far less daunting.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest moments are when I achieved 625 points in the leaving cert, achieving the 92nd percentile in the HPAT and being awarded a quercus academic scholarship to UCC
