umat query

Okay so well..

My umat was terrible.

But i want to know, does the "UMAT overall score" correspond to the addition of section 1,2,3? So hypothetically speaking, if one got S1:50 S2:50 S3:50 this would mean the overall score is 150?

Check this:

What are UMAT scores and how do they work?
UMAT scores are used by universities as your UMAT requirement. Essentially, the UMAT has three sections, and each section is given a raw score (note that no-one except ACER knows how these are calculated!). Important to note that a raw score is not a percentage or percentile, and it's possible to get over 100 for any section raw score. These three raw scores are then totaled to give a total score which is then divided by three and rounded to the nearest whole number to give an overall score. This is then converted into a percentile score using a similar graph to below:


For example,
- Section 1 = 63
- Section 2 = 56
- Section 3 = 62
Therefore, total = 63 + 56 + 62 = 181, and and overall = 181/3 = 60 to the nearest whole number rounded.
Using the graph, 60 corresponds to 91%ile.

The results are then given to you online in September in the following form:


So to answer your q, yes :)
