How much preparation has everyone done?

I assume most people here have the MedEntry resources. I've only done about half the practice exams and next to no drills. Makes me a bit worried considering people at my school have done all the exams and most drills.

When I did Medentry I had finished close to all of the exams and drills and only got 90th percentile lol

It's not about quantity, don't stress!

In ninwa's time that probably would have made interviews (less candidates, more undergrad course etc so it was a better score).

Now, that probably wouldn't make any medical school as a cut-off.

Yes sorry I just meant that  today 90 is not enough to get an interview, hence "only"

(in my year it was the cut-off)

Well if you look at the stickied threads (ie the ones in pink-ish that have important info) such as The "Will I get an interview/offer with this UMAT?" query for med and dent

For Monash this year there will be NO cut. This is because interviews are a combo of ATAR and UMAT. This is new as of this year. (so similar to UNSW in many regards, although completely different interview format)
