even if by some miracle i do make the cut off, i will continue to criticise it.

+1

I made the cut off and I think the UMAT is a massive pile of crap. I would have made an absolutely terrible doctor (though I suppose the interviewers could tell and that's why I didn't get an offer).

Filled in random answers for 1/3 of section 1 (ran out of time), bullshitted my way through section 2 (most of which is stupidly subjective) and guessed about half of section 3 because I freaked out after section 1 and couldn't think and also I'm just shit at section 3.

Nobody knows what the UMAT is out of or how marks are awarded. I've heard people say different options in section 2 get different marks because there is no one absolutely right answer. So try not to stress so much over it. There's nothing you can do now and I would say there's not really much you could've done beforehand either. It's 90% luck, 5% natural ability and 5% ability to cram MedEntry/ACER practice tests. Focus on VCE now because that's something you can actually control.

That ^ certainly made me feel a whole lot better about the UMAT.

What was your score and percentile, if you don't mind sharing?
i'm the same as you, i guessed the majority of section 3 :S and section 1 was just crapppp

[stonecold]

I am shitting myself that I will not get a raw score of 50 for sec 2, which means bye bye provisional entry to UniQLD.

[mikee65]

guys lets take ninwa's advice and forget about it before it compromises our VCE scores lol

[mikee65]

what did people put down for the homosexual question, was it that homosexuals are more likely to have brothers or something?

dont remember this one?
or dont think it was on my booklet

bummer

[slothpomba]

wat about the afternoon sesh?!?

we got an extra 10 mins for section 2

Holy crap i didnt notice?

i was 1:30 session level one -  mezzanine

and it was least required trait for mccurries im sure of it

also ticked give them something to believe in

still, the umat is a rediculous test, and the entire admission system is rediculous too.
wayy too subjective, and ends up taking in 170 or so of the exact same people..

No idea what you mean by 170 of the exact same people, but how is the UMAT way too subjective?

the umat + th einterview + vce ends up allowing the same type of people into med school... a bunch of people hoo may be able to tell a joke and make others alugh but hoo may not necessairly beocme leaders in their respective fields or excel in the scinetific part of medicine..

if im in hospital, i want a docotr... not a comedian..

This is one of the main reasons they brought in the umat...because getting 99.95 and ultra high scores didnt necessarily mean you'd make a good doctor who could deal with patients. Not everyone can be a leader in their field. I really disagree with that

so u want ur dreams to be decided by 'luck of the draw'?

It's not just "your dreams" at stake, sounds kind of selfish. Remember you're being a doctor for te community and all people, if you cant help them in a proper way or communicate people shouldnt get in just for the sake of your dreams and be poor doctors

Oh, and does anyone know the Monash requirements for the UMAT for the past few years?

The UMAT selects people who suceed in medicine. If it leaves out others who also would have been sucessful, that's just because it's not possible for everyone capable to be educated.

I agree with that, if not for the simple fact you can't really flood the market full of like 2000 doctors a year comming from monash instead of 300 they just wouldnt have jobs.

And yeah the VCE system is broken in some places but its far from being the worst it could be but it does have its problems.

[slothpomba]

What umat percentile do I need for monash pharm?
Also is anybody selling their medentry accounts

Why do you want one now, just out of interest?

[Stroodle]

bummer

I also put homosexuals were more likely to have brothers cause that was what the data showed. Homosexuality as a result of having a bro was too much of an presumption imo, and the other options didn't seem to fit either.

[slothpomba]

What session were you in... i dont recall anything about homosexuals

[Stroodle]

I was in the morning session. I heard some people had a question about a barking dog or something, and there were no barking dogs in my test..

[kenhung123]

LMFAO sorry that is funny LOL!!!!!
