ouch, my head hurts already.

what is subvocalising?

--- End quote ---

to sound out words in your head without making a sound.

umm well you need to speed read quite a bit in section 1 to find and seperate relevant and nonrelevant info. for the question, but at the same time you need to also be very careful when reading to understand as much as possible

ive done one drill for section 1 but i can speed read very well and did terrible, it makes no sense and i cannot understand it - it'll definitely be my weakest point :(

we have time to improve, so find what works for you!

stonecold:
yeah, i'm gonna need to improve for section 1 especially.

but what difference does it make whether or not you sound things out in your head or with your lips?
and speed reading, although I know nothing about it, sounds like a bit of a gimmick to me.  how are you supposed to sort relevant info and key words from useless garbage when you are trying to race through the question.
i'm curious though lol.  i guess i'll check it out.

anyone who has done the umat if you could shed some light, that would be great. :)

edit:  judging by the fact that we're going to need to get through 44 question in 65 minutes, we're gonna have to learn how to speed read :(
each question has to be solved in no more than 1:15 to 1:30 secs.  *sobs*

vexx:
^ hahah yeah that's waht i meant by speed reading is necessary

we have time stonecold!!! so its ok:)

stonecold:
yeah.  like someone else said, UMAT prep is going to be my sixth subject lol.  i don't think the questions themselves will be the problem, it will be learning to work within the strict time constraints that will be the most challenging.  i would hate to walk out not having attempted every question.

i'm pretty sure i've got section 3 covered though.  :)
why cant the whole paper be like that!

tbh, the part I am least looking forward to is applying to all the different uni's in aus.  it will be a massive drag...

vexx:
^
yeah especially for section 1 the time constraints is gonna be hard as.
practice makes perfect so perhaps soon we will be able to finish with minutes to go.

haha section 3? i found that section annoying, section 2 was what i think i have covered :P

ooh, are you applying for every uni in australia? there's so many..
im only applying for 3 including monash.
