With a spade bit, first make a small mark with a bradle or even just a large nail. That way you can "feel" the point of the bit into the right position. Are you using a bench mounted drill? Its much more accurate especially for getting it vertical.
Drill in a little and come out. Do this a few times as you go through, it allows the bit to clear better.
If you put a scrap piece of wood or something similar under the MDF, you won't get tear out from the underside.
Use a high speed for the drill and don't force the bit into the MDf, let the blades do the work.
It only takes a few seconds to do so its better to do it right!
