Yeah section two took much longer than expected for me which ruined the timing I had planned for the other sections. Completed section 1 and 2 but guessed about 20 questions in section 3. Oh well, glad its over :) Did everyone else do okay?

tbh I found section 1 really hard....it has never been my strength  :'(

But section 3 had some pretty standard patterns going on so it seemed alright, and section 2 was also alright (not as ambiguous as I thought it would be)...

The UMAT could have been 100 times worse....so I guess it was okay  :)

Did anyone find discrepancies between questions between different peoples tests? My friend had a question on a doctor calling a patient about cancer. I had one about the crimal living on a farm with a young girl. Does anyone know about this? We are 100% sure we didn't have the same questions.

Also how did you do the concentration question on making a solution?

This happens every year, they trial questions. ACER performs some magic to ensure no one is at an advantage or disadvantage.

I feel relieved & satisfied! How about you? :)

It feels good to be over, but I am so worried about getting our results at the end of September. I've sort of given up on getting called for an interview. Definitely doing biomed though (yay, four extra years -.-)

so you guys didn't have any time problems????


i did alright in s3 and s2

found s1 hard

the biggest problem was time

Yeah sections 3 I found relatively straight-forward, section 2 was generally okay (so ambiguous for some questions though -,-) and section 1 had some nasties in there, guessed most questions here.

Pls do not send me a pm about Aspire applications. The process has vastly changed since I applied.

I had to guess like 30 questions! So little time!

Don't worry, I had the same issue. I think I guessed about one third of the questions :-\

Can anyone tell me whether MedEntry and those programs actually helped?

Honestly, those 'put these in a logical order and pick the middle one' really screwed me over. Does anyone else know that feel?

Medentry helped me with s1/3 but the passages from section 2 were quite different. Nor did we have to scruitnise the pieces to distinguish whether choice (a) was more suitable than choice (b) for section 2, like we had to today :/

Nek minnit,

You all get 100 percentiles.

Edit: hope this post didn't offend anyone, what I meant to say was that I'm sure you all did better than you'd expect! :)
