Monetisation — what's on this site and why
| Relationship | Status |
|---|---|
| Google AdSense contextual advertising | Yes — our only revenue source |
| Amazon Associates affiliate links (study materials, exam prep books) | Yes — a small number of clearly-marked links on specific guide pages |
| Affiliate links to medical schools, consultancies, or coaching centres | None |
| Paid placement or "sponsored guide" content | None |
| Referral fees from overseas admissions agents | None |
| Premium tier / paywalled content | None — everything is free |
| Data sale to third parties | None |
This site earns money two ways: Google AdSense's standard contextual advertising (the ad slots you see on guide and tool pages — we do not choose which specific ads appear), and, as of July 2026, a small number of Amazon Associates affiliate links on specific pages where a physical product is genuinely relevant to the topic (for example, exam prep books linked from our UCAT, NEET, and FMGE tools). As an Amazon Associate, Medi-Prep earns from qualifying purchases made through these links, at no extra cost to you. Every affiliate link is labelled "Amazon affiliate link" at the point you'd click it — we don't rely on this page alone to disclose that.
We are not paid to mention or recommend any medical school, coaching service, consultancy, or overseas admissions agent, and no guide on this site has been written or edited at the request of a school, agent, advertiser, or Amazon. We do not link to a product purely because it pays a higher commission, and we do not use "best of" listicle pages stuffed with affiliate links — if that ever changes for a specific page, it will be disclosed prominently on that page, not buried here.
Why we mention this explicitly
Medicine admissions is an area with a lot of paid consultancy and agent activity, and families spending significant money are often unsure which advice is independent and which is a sales pitch in disguise. We'd rather over-disclose than leave that ambiguous. If this site ever takes on a sponsor or paid partnership beyond the Amazon Associates programme, this page will be updated first, and the "Updated" date below will change accordingly.
How we cite and label statistics
Every statistic on this site is expected to trace to one of these primary sources: the UCAT Consortium and UCAT ANZ (test statistics and percentile bands), UCAS (UK admissions data), individual medical schools' published admissions requirements and fee schedules, India's National Testing Agency (NEET results and cutoffs), and the National Board of Examinations (FMGE pass rates). Where a page presents our own interpretation or estimate rather than a cited number — for example, a probability model or a projected break-even timeline — the page states this directly, usually in a "Sources & methodology" section, so you can distinguish a primary-source fact from our own analysis.
We do not present invented statistics, composite "typical student" stories, or AI-generated quotes as if they were real data or real people. Where we don't yet have primary research of our own (for example, a survey of real students who've been through overseas MBBS), we either don't publish a number, or we clearly label the piece as a discussion based on cited public data rather than original research.
