I tried to follow the time limit, but was nearly always over for section 1 :( I was ok for the time limit for sections 2 (because I had no idea what I was doing) and sections 3 though.

In the real UMAT, *most* of the passages are smaller than the MedEntry ones (luckily) :) Don't get disheartened :)

A lot of medentry's stuff were an A4 page or more imo (it looked like it from the online versions anyway), most of the UMAT material for section 1 was around half a page (A4 again), there were only 2-3 full A4 questions from memory (and those were more problem solving with diagrams and such rather than through-and-through blocks of text).



And I heard section 2 is very different.

Yep, medentry has section 2 all wrong. They even have different answers to the official ACER ones (there were a few differences) than what ACER says...

O rly? How have they done it 'all wrong'?

(legit question, I'm somewhat surprised by that)

It's hard to describe, but it's just really unrealistic. Like in the real UMAT, there were questions on the real subtle parts of each scenario whilst Medentry (ME) focuses on the main parts. ME also tends to use lots of jargon and sophisticated vocab, and a lot of their answers seemed pretty suspect (like as if only one person had wrote and reviewed it, therefore the answer not being the post popular choice" as it usually is).

They even got a few of the ACER answers wrong =.=

medentry s3 is dodgy as well, some q's (last prac exam for ex) have the most random patterns, about 10 x harder than the practice ACER ones :|

Might not be much fun now but you definitely won't be complaining when you can just speed through the actual section 3 with relative ease. :P

And yeah, Medentry is a joke for section 2.

Some people say the practice ones are harder, some say easier. I guess it all comes down a person's exposure to different questions. This may not be true, but I find that people who have practiced on the harder medentry questions tend to find the practice tests slightly easier.
