i wish umat was that easy.  some of the questions are so gay.  you have to read slabs of information/analyse tables of data and they often give those types of questions where you can't just solve it, you have to check each of the answers and see which fits best.

....and all in one minute!

i just did a section 1 from a practice exam and did quite well.... however it took me about 40minutes longer then the time limit of 65minutes. HA i'm screwed!

ughhh thats so true i hate in MC to have a whole slab of info for just a simple on eword answer!

=P i am very slow so dw atleats u'll beat me GAH i know ym $75 will disappear....

[stonecold]

yeah it is the time limit that stuffs you up.  the questions are easy if you have time to do them, but doing it in a few seconds only is so hard.

does anyone have any strategies.  according to medentry, 75% is an awesome score to get on the umat.  is it better to maybe to aim to do 3 out of every 4 questions properly and just guess the hardest ones?

btw i was gonna do eng hw, but now vexx has me all pumped to do umat prep instead haha!

my teahcer said that if you get like 250 out of 300 then u get into w.e cousre u want

you don't know that you beat me!

i actually read uber-fast too, i don't know it takes me so long to solve each problem.. i made tables and diagrams for quite a few and thought about it intensely... which is a good idea but not enough time to do it!

i think about 200 is 99th percentile, and 215 is 100%ile.
and it only guarantees you an interview (or a place at UTAS as that's 100%ile for interstate school-leavers)

i would go very far from saying they are easy, i did pretty well, but not anywhere in the 90%ile range even with a long amount of time. they are very hard questions and even harder in a time limit. gah i hate this.

yeah do umat work! every 3-4 weeks i am doing a few drills or prac exam, that's not that much really but its good.

[stonecold]

i shall do drill 2 for section A and report back

[rhjc.1991]

95% is the best score to get ... beyond this the score is quite meaningless

anyoen have UMAT practise papers?

i read really slow.. i read it over and over again but then i forget :| oh well 32 more weeks of school and i don't care afterwards about school and umat.. my brain is going to chilll

[stonecold]

small signs of improvement.  11/20 in 25 mins this time.

does anyone know how many you can afford to get wrong?
i don't trust medentry and there 75% thing haha!

not really.... considering if you want to go to UTAS right after school, or get a lower ENTER for UNSW and so a umat %ile of high 90's will help get an interview... the interivew cutoff for monash might raise to 93%ile again, so it's good to get a score that guarantees you in anyway.

i probably won't get high enough for monash interview at the moment, i feel i won't ever improve.
this umat is ridiculous D:
