Face2Face practice paper score vs actual UMAT

Hi guys

I just did an old Face2Face practice paper (from 2008 iirc). My scores are as follows:
Section I: 35/44
Section II: 29/36
Section III: 21/30

What sort of percentile could I expect to get in the actual UMAT with these sorts of results?
I understand they're not that great overall, but my ultimate aim is for ~90th %ile in the real thing.

Hi again

I just did another paper, with the following results:
Section I: 36/44
Section II: 28/36
Section III: 25/30

Could anyone give a rough idea of what sort of results these would translate
to in the actual UMAT?

Depends...Section II is actually out of 40, and Section III is out of 38.

If you did get like 36/44, 28/40 and 25/38 on the actual ACER exam I'm thinking low 90 percentiles, or maybe high 80s
2012 ATAR: 99.20

2016-2019: Doctor of Medicine (MD4) at The University of Melbourne

Hmm, IIRC they're actually even longer this year, Section I out of 48, Section II out of 44, and Section III out of 42.
The exam is now a whopping 3 hours :(

But yeah, how comparable in difficulty are the F2F papers compared to the UMAT (generally)?

I haven't done F2F papers, so I wouldn't know. I have tried medentry though, which is very (or more difficult) than the actual ACER test

Medentry is harder for section 3, about on par for section 1 (might be a bit harder sometimes) and way off the mark for section 2 imo.

I find that F2f Papers are generally on par or around the same as UMAT. Compared the MedEntry ones they are relatively easy.

So what decent preparation can be done for section 2? Is it something that you have to be naturally good at to perform well in it in the umat?

Most people find it difficult to prepare for that section. I'm out of tips for Section 2 tbh. I think it's something that either you have or you don't.

apparently one of the top students at MHS last year (atar wise) was getting 90% medentry S2, but got 20% on the day :\
