Hopefully you and I achieve our goals!

How was the UMAT everyone?

I got demolished
Started to get panicky at around Q60 and then lost focus for the remainder of the questions
Ended up guessing like 30

I think i guessed about the last ~15 questions man timing was a major issue. Once the lady said 90 minutes left, I was literally half way at about question 66 but then out of no where ....

Anyone else found some 'middle' questions abnormally difficult? What about that electric circuit question?

Those ones where you have to find the missing block killed me, and there were a few pretty hard middle ones

Yeah I finished it but I obviously had to guess a few

Went more for quantity over quality, we'll see if it paid off in a few months ahaha

Yeah, I'd say s3 was unusually tricky. Timing was definitely an issue. S1 and s2 were all pretty reasonable in terms of difficulty.

Ah... At least it's over. Time to prepare for the haul of SACs.

Cosine

Electric circuit question was interesting but not too bad once you understand the stems properly

The very first question of the electric circuit problem....did you say both 2 and 3 could be fit there? (i wasnt sure about this one but just guessed that)

The other stems were not to bad cant remember what they were but think got them right

the last part of that question.......did you say there were 4 possible combinations?
