^ haha cool, if only the stupid umat didn't count so much arghhhh.
i really don't think i will get in the 90's but i will see. im quite pessimistic about the umat, i will most likely be trying again next year!

Thank the UMAT!! Otherwise you would need like 99.60+ to get into a med course ...

Some should thank the UMAT, but the poor guys who aren't suited for the UMAT (yet who would actually be best suited to being a doctor) are right to curse it!
Especially those who get 99.60+

Lol yeah! Not all the UMAT and interview criteria are important for being a doctor/medical graduate!

=P

Sorry you smart people :)

Lol, I'm not smart, but I like to complain about the system whenever I can ;)
I was just going to say, "that's ok." :P

Ha actually the last school to not have UMAT was UNSW, and the ENTER required for interview was 99.80, so yes i actually prefer the umat as i know i will NOT be getting that high!
but i much prefer how UNSW's system is with their umat/enter combined cutoff.

i hate how the umat determines your interview! grrr

I'm doing really well on the first and second section, but am getting roughly equal to 20 percent of my answers right on the 3rd section lol. I'm just not seeing any sort of patterns in any of the questions, and don't understand the sorts of thought processes I should be going through to answer any given question. If anyone would care to post any question and their rationale behind arriving at the correct answer I would be very appreciative (I am working off the exams posted earlier in the thread, and have not given any money to med entry etc, but a question from anywhere would be fine.)of your help.

^okay then here's what we're gonna do.  you do section 1 and 2 for both of our papers, and then we switch and i'll do section 3 for the both of us.  :P

it's possible if we are seated on different levels as they all do different sections at different times hehe. :D

seriously the best prep is to not stress about it. a lot of my friends in school did practice exams everyday, and i reckn they tried too hard. wen it came to test day, they were overthinking, rather than being themselves, and they didnt achieve good results. however, this is not to say dont prepare. i did the medentry course, but didnt even attempt any of their online exams. i just did a couple of the drills for sections 1 and 3, particularly section 3 BECAUSE IT IS THE EASIEST AND MOST LIKELY SECTION TO IMPROVE IN! i never touched section 2 coz its personality and u cant really improve that in a short space of time, u either have it, or u dont.

but yea, wat im meaning to say it, for the most efficient preparation for little time, just do drills or exercises for logic puzzles in section 3, and remembering the patterns, because most likely, patterns will repeat themselves. then work on section 1

oh yea, it got me a 97 percentile
