Which one is it? Most of them are an awful lot of money for things that you can get for almost free.

medicine essay writing, medical awards, work experience, a magazine like the mentor magazine that you can publish in

For something like that, you would probably be worthwhile doing as that's basically all you get out of that medic mentor subscription.
For the future, when studying for the UCAT there is many free questions and mocks so don't spend big on random courses for it. Also, many uni's do check your personal statements by those who mark it, so don't spend extra getting an outside marker to do it for you.
I would assume you aren't at that stage yet, but if you want the specific medic mentor perks, you will have to pay for them, just don't overpay for the things that are free.
Good luck in your journey!

My previous answer should probably suffice, I didn't mean what package specifically, but what in the package that you are wanting enough to pay for, because a lot of the time you can find it for free.

So I ask again, what are you looking for in the packages specifically?
