UMAT Preparatory Lecture - interest?

Hi,
I was wondering if you were interested in attending an economical UMAT preparatory lecture in January for the UMAT 2013 paper.
I received a 100%ile this year, after preparing for it in the last few weeks before the actual paper (I did one exam in the summer holidays but that was it), starting with REALLY low marks but bringing them up. I found some essential tricks and ways of looking at the paper that would enhance your skills, and complement any practice paper, even just the ACER ones.

IMO, the major selling point of this lecture is that because the UMAT is essentially a competition, you need an edge over the others, and a different way of looking at the questions. This is why although popular companies are great, they don't necessarily give you a high chance of scoring highly, primarily because of their popularity. Why not try a way of looking at questions that has been proven to work, and that not everyone knows of?

Details:
Date: Saturday 2nd February
Time: 10:30am - 4pm
Cost: $60 for lecture, $20 for notes (provided lecture is attended). $40 for notes if not attending lecture
Location: Kew Library - Civic Drive, Kew


Extensive notes can be purchased even if you are unable to attend the lecture, for only $40.

110 pages of notes!!

Extensive notes will be provided, which contain detailed questions and solutions, and ways in which to tackle questions (in the way that I figured out a couple of weeks before the exam, significantly increasing my scores). I will be breaking down types of questions and ways of answering it, such that when you sit the UMAT paper, there will be minimal questions that you will find challenging.

As an example, when I sat the UMAT paper, in Section 1, there was 1 question that I didn't know how to tackle. Section 2, there was 1 passage that confused me. Section 3, there were NO questions that I couldn't solve. I finished all 3 sections with ample time, enough to check through all my answers.

If you are interested, please pm me with your email address, so I can send you a flyer and booking form. Look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers :)

Thanks all the people who have replied so far!
Just an update: definitely being held in January, in Monash University.
Also definitely less than $100; extensive notes (including practice exams) will also be provided, plus around 6 hours of personalised classes of a small size so each person's concerns can be addressed, both individually and in a group setting.

There are still a couple of places - let me know! :)

Cheers

If I were you I wouldn't hold it at Monash, especially if you want to do medicine there.

Thanks for the advice, pi! :)

I've decided to change the location to either Balwyn or Kew library, for those interested. :D

And I need your help, both past and future students, in the finalising of the notes: Opinions please!

Thanks!

Just wanted to clarify: notes CAN be bought if you don't want to attend the lecture!
They're long, detailed and cheap :)

1) Am i too late to sign up?

2) I live in Ballarat, that is significantly far from Melbourne: 3 hours travel (up and back). Therefore, where can I buy your note book? Will it be posted?

3) How many pages?

Thankyou.

1) No - if you're purchasing the notes, you can buy them at any time at all. Just PM me if you're interested, preferably with your email address so I can email you some attachments.

2) There are several options: you can either pay by PayPal or cheque/money order. Once payment is finalised, I'll post you the book. However, there will be a P&H charge.
Also, I'm happy to meet in Monash Uni (Clayton) at certain times, as well as the Malvern region. If you're coming into the city or something and would rather not pay postage, we can always organise a meeting place (note that this won't be super-flexible; I just checked out a tentative uni timetable and it looks like I'm not going to have a life)

3) There are 110 pages altogether. (size 10 font)
50+ pages of notes and examples, 20+ pages of practice questions and 30+ pages of fully worked solutions.

Hope this helps! :)
