02What is at stake

The competitive exam for BMed2

  1. 1

    Since 2022-2023, access to 2nd year is by competitive exam: a ranking on the points obtained in the year’s 5 exams.

  2. 2

    To be ranked, you must pass all 5 exams in the same academic year, with at least a 4 in each.

  3. 3

    Only the top of the ranking go through, according to the number of places set by UNIL. The others may repeat once, keeping no grade.

03How we work

Your course, not a generic one.

  • 01

    On your own material

    Your lecture notes, problem sets and past exams. We start from what your professor expects, not from a textbook.

  • 02

    At the pace of the session

    One session to unlock a chapter, or a package timed to the date of your exam.

  • 03

    One to one

    One teacher, just you. At our Lausanne, Vevey or Montreux centre, or online.

  • 04

    With a written record

    After every session, a report in your Mon SOS account: what is understood, the next step.

Who teaches you

The right teacher, not the first one available.

Teaching first-year analysis at EPFL or biochemistry before the medical school competitive exam requires having mastered that exact course. Our selection is therefore made subject by subject, and year by year.

A teacher and a student working on a laptop at the SOS centre
  1. 1

    Chosen for your subject

    Our management authorises each teacher for one specific subject. Being authorised for analysis does not cover biochemistry.

  2. 2

    And for your year

    Authorisation is also given by year of study: 1st, 2nd or 3rd. A 3rd-year course is not a 1st-year course.

  3. 3

    Confirmed before you pay

    You know the proposed teacher before any payment. If no teacher is authorised for your course, we tell you.

06Questions

Médecine UNIL : your questions.

Does the competitive exam change how to prepare BMed1?

The ranking is based on the points obtained in the 5 exams: passing is not enough, every point counts. The work therefore focuses on precision, on your own past exams and on the topics where you lose points.

Which medical subjects do you teach?

Chemistry, physics, cell biology, biochemistry and statistics. For another topic, write to us: we answer depending on the teachers authorised.

And in BMed2 or BMed3?

Yes, from 1st to 3rd year. Tell us the module and the topic: we confirm an authorised teacher before any payment.

I am repeating BMed1: can you support me all year?

Yes. Repeating students sit all 5 exams again, no grade being kept. A 60 or 75-hour SÉRÉNITÉ package is spread over 10 months, the whole year.

How much does a lesson cost?

Per session: CHF 106.– per hour (CHF 159.– for a one-and-a-half-hour session). By package: from CHF 925.– for 10 hours in DYNAMIQUE and CHF 960.– in SÉRÉNITÉ.

Where do lessons take place?

Online, or at our Lausanne, Vevey or Montreux centre, at the same price.
