UMAT Results Discussion Thread

epic scores, congrats! gl to the rest of you, hope u guys get into med or whatever else you need UMAT for (join us pharm kids )

Pretty sure that at the med Monash open day lecture, they said they were using 'overall score' instead. And last year it was 62. Might be wrong though.

To everyone moping about getting a 92nd percentile or thereabouts (in regards to not getting into Monash MBBS), remember that it's the sum of your section scores, NOT your overall score or your percentile that counts for that course. Some of you are likely to still have a fair chance.

Overall score is just the average of your section scores, with the percentiles then being based off this. Ultimately, point is, they're all derived off each other anyway so I don't really see your point. And I think the reason why they're somewhat scared is because the cut-off several years ago was actually 93 percentile. Not too sure what the trend has been like the last two years though.

cutoff last year was 93rd percentile... but likely to increase due to restriction in number of interviews

Yeah and it doesn't really matter if 63 is higher than last year's cutoff - because the percentile this year is lower which means more people got higher (and will get the interviews)... I'm just hoping for an ATAR/UMAT interview if I manage a high enough ATAR....

Although I am glad they're using overall scores haha because mine was rounded down...

Congrats everyone! I'm in awe of you all, regardless of what score you may have received. Merely giving it a go is an achievement in itself

Can you guys comment on your expected result vs what you actually got? Did you over underestimate, overestimate or got about what you expected?

Underestimated by probably 15% I reckon, was hoping to do well but not THAT well, especially S2 and sort of S1!

[Jdog]

underestimated by 12%

i hoped to get higher but knew it was pretty much a roulette spin, so i could guarantee an interview but such is life.

maybe ill gun a 99.95 hahah

[Greatness]
