I'd say it's E. Does anyone have the answer?

I am pretty sure it is C.

Basically from what I can see, in Pic 1 to Pic 2, you flip top left and top right only.
Pic 2 to 3, you flip entire circle horizontally.  Pic 3 to 4, you flip top left and bottom right only, which therefore means for pic 5, you would flip the entire circle on a diagonal from top left to bottom right.

i.e. whatever direction you flip the two pieces will be the direction you flip the entire circle in the next stage.

hmm, i would say B.

the '&' goes, left, left, right, across
and then 'O' goes left, right, left, across

so if we continued the pattern these two symbols would be on the left side after they have crossed.

i wouldn't have thought C stonecold, only because it doesn't seem like the third pic would be the same as the 5th one in this pattern, as that 'C" is the same as the 3rd pic.

i want to know the answer though lol as we all have a different opinion

lulz, these UMAT problems are really subjective. The correct answer is based on how you interpret the pattern. Different interpretations yield different conclusions...

they are being ridiculous with their wanting of people to find the 'correct' interpretation

And apparently, these "correct" interpretations determine whether or not you're going to be good in the field of medicine or a related field...

now, now that's just silly.
having a correct interpretation of patterns has nothing to do with being a good at your field.

I agree, stupid pattern. It's too short to draw any reasonable conclusions.
