my umat tab it starting to get nice and pricey haha.
still gotta buy those acer practice book as well.

they probably justify the price increase by giving us more questions to do on the umat.
that way we get more bang for our buck haha....

That's just diminished my chances of taking the UMAT.

If it's any compensation, that extra amount of money is negligible compared to the total cost of a medical education. And well, also in comparison to the amount you'll earn later if you do get in I guess.

I don't even know if I want to do med, so I'm not sure if I'd want to fork out $200 to keep my options open.

Fork out $200 again lol.. AND pay for a medical degree xD..


nah, you don't have to print-screen.  you can actually copy/paste.  so it wouldn't take too long.  :P

Can't actually copy and paste unless you do a bit of HTML editing to get rid of the anti-copy/paste code.

I don't think its very fair, especially for disadvantaged students, $200 is a lot of money and if they want a decent shot $570 for med-entry. In a country that prides a fair go for everyone... this just aint so fair..

It's only $100 if you have a health care card and I would assume most disadvantaged students would have one.
