Section 1: Decent, but quite tricky. The number plate question was very tricky.
Section 2: Extremely difficult. Couldn't tell how characters would feel...out of the ACER options anyway.
Section 3: Decent. A few questions I had no idea though.

I liked the number plate question.. :) I know what you mean about S2 though... some questions weren't even relevant to the passage.

Like the one where is asks you "how did Kathleen feel about her impending divorce?" and there are only 2 mentions of Kathleen in the passage. The first was she was surprised he was going to mention the divorce to his mum. The second was her reflection of her husband's relationship with his mother. NO MENTION OF HOW SHE FELT ABOUT THE DIVORCE.

I found that last year's section two was really different from the practice paper's section two. It was more of an ambiguous vocab test than anything else.

Haha, yes.

---

s1: Rather challenging and was rushed for time.
s2: Completely took me by surprise. Unlike any of the questions I did for prep. Didn't think any of the answers suited the question well. More like a vocab test/kind of dodgy language analysis.
s3: Surprisingly good! :D Happy with it. Less difficult than anticipated.

From the medentry email:


We are interested to know your impressions of the UMAT, and how you found MedEntry’s preparation and services. We would appreciate it if you could email us regarding:
 
·         Your impressions of the UMAT (difficulty, types of questions, any surprises etc)

·         Any specific questions you found difficult / might remember

·         Any suggestions you may have to improve practice exams / LMS resources to make them better simulate the UMAT

·         Any advice you would give to next year’s UMAT test-takers

·         Any other impressions of the UMAT test taking experience


So sly.

Are you serious. I'd F***** report them, it is clearly against the rules - especially since they are such a reputable company  ::)

Do you get any reinburstment out of it?
