Hi! Built for Y12 medics applying in 2027

UCAT prep that actually feels like 2026.

A friendly question bank with proper timing analytics, written by medics who just sat the exam. Built for how Y12s actually study — on your phone, in free periods, without your parents needing to remortgage.

Medify hasn't really changed since 2009. Kaplan costs more than a flight. And ChatGPT can't write UCAT questions — trust us, we tried. So we're building what we wished existed — for the Y12s sitting UCAT this year and the next.

⏱️ i.

Timing replay that actually helps

Every question, timed to the second. See where you slowed down, where you flipped between options, where confidence broke. The thing every other platform calls "analytics" but never quite shows you.

✍️ ii.

Written by people who just sat it

Every question written by a medic who scored 3000+ in 2025, then peer-reviewed by another. Not by a publisher who hasn't sat UCAT in a decade.

📱 iii.

Made for how you actually study

Mobile-first, designed for free periods, the bus, and bed at 11pm. Sessions that fit a 20-minute slot — not desktop dashboards from 2014.

See where every second went.

After every session, you get a per-question replay: how long you spent, where you slowed down, where you flipped between options, where confidence broke. The screen below is what your post-test report actually looks like — promise.

Who is building Northstar?

A small team of Y12 students applying to medicine in 2027, working with current med students who scored 3000+ in UCAT 2025. We'll publish the full team page closer to launch — for now we're heads-down on the product. Hi 👋

How is this different from Medify?

Three things, mainly. First, our questions are written by medics who sat UCAT in 2025 and peer-reviewed by another — not by people who haven't taken the test in years. Second, our timing analytics actually show you where each second went, not just a percentage score. Third, we're priced for sixth-formers (£29 for one section, £49 for the whole platform) and built mobile-first, because that's where you actually study.

Can I trust the question quality?

Every question is written by a medic with a verified UCAT score of 3000+ and peer-reviewed by a second medic before it goes live. We publish the writers' names and schools. If you spot a factual error, we'll refund your subscription and send you a £10 thank-you for catching it.

When can I actually use it?

The free Decision Making diagnostic launches in May. The full Decision Making bank launches June 14 at £29. Quantitative and SJT follow in July, Verbal in August. The full four-section platform will be ready in plenty of time for the August/September UCAT testing window.

How big will the question bank be?

Decision Making: 150+ questions at launch, growing to 300+ by August. Full platform: 1,000+ questions across all four sections by September. We're prioritising quality over quantity — every question is hand-written, never AI-generated. (You'd be able to tell anyway.)

Is there really a free trial?

Yes, properly. Every paid plan has a 7-day free trial with full access — no card-on-file shenanigans, no auto-renewing into a subscription you forgot about. Cancel any time. The Decision Making diagnostic stays free forever, no strings.

Be first in line.

Join the waitlist and we'll send you the free diagnostic the day it launches, plus an early-access discount for launch week. No spam, ever.

You're in.

We'll send the free diagnostic the day it launches and your founding-member discount the moment we open up. Welcome aboard ✦
