UMAT Discussion Thread 2016

out of curiosity, how much time are you guys spending on umat prep? like how often will you do it

I do it whenever I want to study but i dont want to study what i need to study (like when you ceebs with an english essay right?)
Or when i dont have any sacs so it's not intense and need something to do you know? Coz having a social life is over rated.

Thanks for the help

Has anyone done any of the "new" medentry exams?
If so what were your raw scores and percentiles (if you would like to share)? (I know medentry percentiles don't really mean anything just interested)

mine fluctuate a lot
for the first one I got a 95% and i was ecstatic
second one dropped to a 68%
third was a 88%
fourth was a 97ish or something like that
fifth was abominable hahahahah don't even want to share

Yeah i am so scared for the umat, like the amount of variables that affect performance is scary
For me, if I feel good on the day, I can start the exam with a lot of energy and smash my way through easy. But some days i tire out half way through and don't even attempt to finish.

I haven't done any UMAT practice in about 3 weeks. I did a smallish practice session (45 mins) on Fri but I ended up just relaxing until Sunday when I got back into the swing of VCE. Before all these SACs though I was doing UMAT practice everyday and noticed some improvement in all my sections.

I actually have exams but I can't print them, like bruh, 65+ pages ain't going to happen. I probs won't even finish all the exams I have before the day. RN though I'm pretty much looking at them on my phone and answering in a book.

Is anyone else doing this or are you fortunate enough to have them in hardcopy? With the test approaching though I will start doing a full 3 hour session (probs during the holidays but the GAT was good practice, I will try to minimise my water consumption from now on) so I can expose any weakness and correct them before the day

Edit: And I feel like having the actual paper in front of me allows me to scribble and get more in touch with the question. But that's just me

Guy 1: "When did the term human become so popular on the AN?"
Guy 2: "Well, thread legend has it that mq123 coined the term when when refering to AN member Blacksanta62"   (1)
Guy 1: "But why human, why didn't she use another term?"
Guy 2: "Thread legend also says that she referred to everyone like that. Just her thing, I guess"
Guy 1: "Interesting"                                                                                                                                                      (5)

nah nobody calls me human (besides when people see my leavers jacket for the first time, since it's on the back of my jacket (you know the bit where ppl put their nicknames....i call everyone else human)

[blacksanta62]

Do they ever ask why? Not that its a bad thing, lol, but I would ask why I'm being called a human, and then laugh when I remember I am a human

they do ask, but I generally just laugh and shrug- I don't really have some specific reason for it, I just do it I guess hehe 
but they used to ask ages ago (like a year or so), now everyone's just accepted it 
 the teacher's sometimes just come up to me and just say stuff like 'i'm glad you're a human', or 'was there any doubt?' or 'are you trying to convince everyone of it'....though it's just something everyone laugh's off. I don't call the teacher's human, though...that's kinda weird and maybe disrespectful since they're teachers.

"Human why did you take this mark off?"
"Human I demand you remark my sac"
Mid- Sac "Erm.. Human. Is that a typo?"

Just did a Medentry UMAT exam ended up with alright Section 1 & 2 results but my section 3 score is definitely lagging behind. As far as I know section 3 is the one section that you can actually improve with practice. What are good methods to improve my section 3 score?(more practice? read through medentry guides?)
