UMAT Practise Paper feedback?

Hey guys,

I recently registered for the UMAT and completed one of their practise papers. I got scores of 38/48 for section one, 43/44 for section 2 and 27/42 for section three. I have no idea whether these are good scores or not because as far as I can tell, ACER provide no feedback on these scores, or even give reasons for getting questions wrong. I was just wondering, is there anywhere I can get feedback or would somebody here like to guess a percentile for those scores? Thanks heaps

ACER UMAT tests are not indicative of the real UMAT, so, there's no real way of telling :P

Whilst what Paul said is true, the second test is more representative of the real deal from the two of them :)

Hey Paul - you did Medentry right? And what type of scores were you getting with them to get that high on the real thing?

Getting, on average, 1 question wrong every 4 questions - so pretty much getting 75% of questions right, or slightly higher

I would get above 75% on S1 and S3, and below 75% on S2, but it will balance out to around 75%

Oh ok cool, so was that like > 95 percentile for most of the time (according to medentry)?

Awesome. I was just wondering since on some section 1 exams on the LMS i got 36/48 which from what you said was about 97% but LMS said it was 80%. So I guess you must of had gotten higher than 75 % of questions for some of the earlier exams?
