i think they really need to come up with something better than umat. it used to work, but now it is seriously just a joke. perhaps a series of intensive interviews or something with lots of situational activities. perhaps even compulsary work experience in a hospital or something.
for mine, the umat is just dumb, pointless and honestly comes down to luck for many.
there are always the select few who will dominate it no matter what, and i have a lot of respect for those people, but tbh it doesn't mean shit in terms of being a good healthcare professional.
fucking A stonecold...
Stonecold I respect the hard work you put in, but mate, saying that is pretty naive of you. If you become a health professional, you'll realise that it actually IS a decent test. No doubt it can come down to luck, but there NEEDS to be a test that TRIES to seperate med wannabies from med want to bes.
sadly, all the umat evaluates is ability to do well in the umat...
u go to some of the leading doctors of the present day and ask them to find patterns or pick the middle figure in a sequence..
lol. thankyou. take the umat to your local doctor and i can confidently say that they will tell you to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
umat is a big charade to make money, and imo can be likened the harry potter sorting hat. pointless, random and stupid.
even if by some miracle i do make the cut off, i will continue to criticise it. i can 100% see where james lu was coming from with the whole vce is broken thing too. i feel the same about it, and these feelings extend to the umat as well.
