The AI-powered Medify alternative
Aptavia is the AI-first alternative to Medify. Both give you a question bank and full timed mock exams, but Aptavia adds an AI tutor that explains every question, everyday Section II essay marking within minutes on a rubric we built from ACER's two published criteria, under generous fair use on Pro, and genuinely adaptive practice — and it's free to start. Here's an honest, side-by-side look.
Medify shows you sample essays. We mark yours.
That's the difference that moves your Section II score: reading someone else's model answer versus writing your own and having it scored on an examiner rubric we built from ACER's two published criteria — within minutes, as many times as it takes.

The reasoning style — not recall
We treat forgetting as a failure — a lapse to be patched with reminders and records. Yet a mind that kept everything could not think; it would drown in the undifferentiated noise of every moment it had ever lived. To forget is not so much to lose information as to decide, mostly without our noticing, what was never worth keeping.
The author's argument relies most directly on which unstated assumption?
Pick an option to see how the tutor reasons to the answer — not just whether you were right.
Not quite — the answer is B.
Work backwards from the conclusion: a mind that ‘kept everything’ supposedly ‘could not think.’ That only follows if thinking means leaving most of experience out — so B is the premise the argument quietly rests on. A raises reliability, which the passage never weighs; C contradicts ‘mostly without our noticing’; D smuggles in a claim about intellect the passage never makes. The question rewards finding the hidden premise, not recalling a fact.
What Medify does well
- A large question bank (7,000+ questions) with worked answers
- Seven full-length mock exams plus two short mocks for Sections I and III
- A library of strategy and concept videos, plus a science syllabus for biology, chemistry and physics
- A well-known brand that also covers UCAT, interviews and A Levels
Medify offers an established question bank with worked answers. Aptavia's practice is built around feedback, with an AI tutor and essay marking within minutes.
Where Aptavia is different
An AI tutor, not just an answer key
Every question comes with an AI tutor that explains why each option is right or wrong and answers your follow-ups — instead of a static worked answer you read passively.
Everyday essay marking within minutes
Medify gives you essay practice and samples; Aptavia marks your own essays within minutes with two AI examiners on a calibrated examiner rubric, so you can revise and re-grade until your score climbs.
Genuinely adaptive practice
Rather than working through a fixed bank, practice adapts to your weak topics, escalates difficulty, and resurfaces the mistakes you need to review.
Free to start, affordable Pro
Start practising — questions, AI tutor and essay marking — before paying anything, on a plan designed to be affordable. Installable and works offline.

Medify alternative — FAQ
What's the best alternative to Medify for the GAMSAT?

It depends how long you need. As listed on 5 October 2026, Medify is AU$65/month or AU$415/year; Aptavia is $59/month or $299 once for 6 months.
