Dr Admissions
Where Real Exam Pressure Meets Real Preparation - A Purpose-Built UCAT Simulation Platform
Project Overview
Dr Admissions is a UK-based medical admissions consultancy that guides aspiring medical and dental students through every stage of their journey into top healthcare schools. Beyond interview coaching and application support, their core offering is UCAT preparation - and as student demand scaled, generic exam tools were no longer cutting it.
Infynno Solutions designed and built a fully custom UCAT exam preparation platform from the ground up: a high-performance, exam-faithful digital environment where students can practice under real conditions, receive meaningful feedback, and accurately benchmark their readiness before sitting the official test.
The challenge they faced
Building a credible UCAT preparation platform is far more demanding than a standard LMS or quiz app. Generic tools couldn't replicate the real exam experience, deliver accurate scoring, or support the admin team's content operations at scale.
Students Needed a Faithful Exam Replica
Students needed timing, navigation, and scoring that matched the real UCAT - not generic quizzes.
Performance During Timed Assessments
Any lag during timed assessments breaks the simulation and actively disadvantages students.
Scoring That Reflects Reality
Percentage scores mislead - students needed scaled scoring and SJT bands like the official exam.
Question Bank Management at Scale
Thousands of questions across categories made manual admin entry unsustainable at scale.
Image-Based Question Complexity
Visual stimuli required purpose-built upload, management, and rendering workflows.
Actionable Post-Exam Feedback
Students needed category and question-level breakdowns - not just a final score.
Centralized Admin Control
One dashboard for students, papers, mocks, banks, and publishing - not scattered tools.
How we solved it
UCAT-Style Exam Environment
Timed sessions, section navigation, flagging, and controlled flow optimized for zero interruption.
Custom Scaled Scoring Engine
Custom engine aligned with official UCAT methodology - not simple right/wrong percentages.
Automated SJT Band Calculation
Automated Situational Judgement band calculation for instant, application-ready feedback.
Advanced Time Management Logic
Consistent paper- and mock-level timing with proper pause, transition, and expiry handling.
Bulk Question Import via Excel
Excel workflow uploads thousands of questions with category mapping and passage links in one go.
Image-Based Question Processing
Integrated asset management for uploading, organizing, and rendering visual questions at scale.
Comprehensive Student Dashboard
