Hi,

i'm considering purchasing 'The UMAT Manual: A Systematic and Simplified Approach' by Umatease.

Has anyone used this resource? A review of it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

First thing that came to my mind when I saw "UMATEASE" was an enzyme, that degrades UMATs?

Never heard of them but you can get heaps of online UMAT stuff for free if you just look around.

Haha hey thanks for considering our resource!

Feel free to ask any questions about the book - my opinion might be slightly biased but I'd be happy to answer anything - more details can be found here: http://umatease.wordpress.com/essential-books/the-umat-manual-a-systematic-and-simplified-approach/

The book's basically a breakdown of the UMAT into strategies and methods of solving common question types that come up. It was based on the method that I used in the few weeks before the UMAT, because I realised I'd done little-none practise throughout the year (and it was the second week of the June holidays). Basically reading the book is like reading a textbook - gives you specific methods and ways of identifying particular question types, or at least strategies and ways of starting questions off.

And enzyme? Shudder...

Hey mate,

I'm also considering of purchasing this book.
Did you end up purchasing it, what's your review?

The website doesn't provide an excerpt, so I'm quite dubious of whether I should purchase it noting know what the material looks like. UMAT-Ease has said the book has helped people reach 90-100th percentile, interesting?

Cheers
