To be completely honest it was pretty hard haha..

It's just a struggle sitting down and concentrating for 3 hours and it's such a high stakes test...

gahhh just glad it's over.

Ah well at least you got to have the experience to take the UMAT but I'm sure you did well DJALogical :)
But I guess if any other 2015'er wants to take the UMAT in future then we might have to start preparing for it soon I guess...

Textbooks are hard to come by.

If you want to really get a good headstart and start getting your head around the strategies ESPECIALLY for Section 3, I'd definitely recommend Section Zero prep here on ATARnotes - it's really well-priced, far less than most of the stuff out there for umat prep - I found it helped immensely with Section 3 and 1 most pertinently. It's all great prep though.

Check it out: (fully recommended)

At my school, I find that the current Year 12s are extremely strong. I find my cohort relatively weak instead! haha

LOL it differs between subjects I guess but for my school I find it to be above average with the top bunch to be really, really smart whilst our 'worse' is alright but could do with some work I guess :P

And half the term has gone by already (time sure does fly by fast :O)

Practically non-existent. I've been channeling all my energy into 3/4 exam preparation and sacs, but I've been trying to keep up with my 1/2s as well. How about yourself? :)

Edit: Yay! 100th post!

Pretty much the same, the unit 3/4 Exams and SAC's are of uppermost importance

I guess for me it's the opposite... for my 1&2's I feel quite confident though for my 3&4 I feel very unprepared since I've spread my workload across the board  :-\
