Why I built Vettamed.
When I sat the Humanitas admissions test in early 2026, I had spent eight months preparing. I still did not know what the exam actually looked like.
That is not exaggeration. HUMAT is the entrance test for Humanitas University's Medicine and Surgery and MEDTEC programmes. The official call, syllabi, and evaluation documents defined the test, but they did not give me a complete preparation workflow for rehearsal, mistake capture, and evidence of change.
I sat the test anyway. I ranked third at UniSR and was admitted to Humanitas Medicine and Surgery, Humanitas MEDTEC and UniCattolica. I was eighteen. I was grateful. I was also frustrated. The format itself is not unfair; walking into it without a realistic way to rehearse, record mistakes, and judge whether preparation is improving is.
So in the months between admission and the start of school, I began rebuilding the test environment for the people who would sit it next. Not the protected exam questions, but the shape of the questions, the timing, the pressure, and the feel of the exam screen when the clock is running.
That work became Vettamed.
What Vettamed is
Vettamed is a HUMAT preparation platform with a protected desktop app, study plans, practice, full mocks, mistake review, progress analytics, classroom tools, and educator workflows. Full mocks run inside Vettamed Desktop Exam Mode; day-to-day preparation can move between desktop and web. There is no AI tutor claim, no webcam proctoring, and protected questions never render in the browser.
Content is authored independently against published format references, then governed through versions, session rules, privacy boundaries, study plans, and tutor workflows. Vettamed is not affiliated with Humanitas and does not claim official equivalence. The goal is an environment where student and tutor work is trackable, protected, and correctable.
Three things I want to say clearly
It is not a guarantee. Every exam carries variance. Vettamed supports structured rehearsal and review; it does not predict admission or replace official admissions documents.
It is not generic exam software. The library and workflows are built for HUMAT preparation: guided study, practice, mocks, tutors, cohorts, and evidence analysis. Personal review can still be offered as a high-contact option.
It is built for people who take the exam seriously. The price reflects that. Exam Mode provides a focused, timed full rehearsal; Secure Study Mode keeps everyday preparation serious without making it punitive.
Where it goes from here
I start MEDTEC in October 2026. Vettamed will keep growing alongside that path as a complete preparation system: study, protected practice, scoring, review, cohorts, live mocks, and analytics. After HUMAT, the same foundation can extend to other private Italian medical-school exams. IMAT is outside Vettamed's current scope.
If you are sitting HUMAT in 2027 or 2028, the rehearsal layer I wished existed now exists. Use it well.
