MedEntry steals the majority, if not all of their content.  I'd be okay with it if they charged $100-$200, but at their prices you'd expect better.

Isn't that illegal though? Ironic how they sued Icarus for stealing their stuff

They dont steal questions. Someone who got 100percentile last year in my school works for Medentry now by making up questions and selling it to them. The more complex the questions the more they pay apparently

Guess that explains the ridiculousness of the level of some of the questions.

Nah they do take some at least I noticed from the exams. I didn't take the effort to compare whether they are exact but definitely very similar.

well that blows.  what would they do if i smuggle one in?  it is not like it is some kind of massive breach. :P

According to the MedEntry guy, it is "performance enhancing". LOL.

In the UMAT quick reference guide, it says that "all other equipment with the exception of a bottle of drinking water is prohibited".

I guess they'll take it off you if they see you using it.  :P

Just wondering, so what happens on the day if I bring a bag or something? Do I keep it with me under the table or they literally lock it up? How close supervisors be?

Exam 9
Section 1 - 37/44 (72nd percentile)
Section 2 - 36/40 (100th percentile)
Section 3 - 23/38 (72nd percentile)

Section 1 was too simple, so you can't make many errors, and Section 3 is just screwed...
