So, how did y'all go on UMAT 08??????

[ganges]

Funny, I seem to feel the same way about each of the sections of the UMAT as most of you. Section 1 was a killer.

Results come out in September yeah?

I guessed As for 35-44, (section 1).

Do they jumble the questions around to stop ppl copying?

[Pandemonium]

ganges: yeah, that's why they make you write the number of your booklet.

[dcc]

yeah section 1 was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard i almost fucking pulled my eyes from my sockets

oh well

you didn't do the umat.

I was looking at past UMAT booklets (I didn't do it though ), and the pattern questions were ridiculously difficult. I would have guessed at least 3/4 of it, I'm not that good at recognising patterns .

there was someone out the front handing out flyers for VCE Notes!! Who was it?? I didn't get a chance to ask him, it was after the 8 o'clock session.

That was my brother!

[bilgia]

hahha i didnt see that but gj rofl

It was our first ever marketing campaign Hasn't done much so far, but oh well. I'm guessing most people coming out of the UMAT don't want to talk about it/never want to hear about it ever again. Hahaha.

Section 1: It was so long =(

Section 2: It was so short =D But that time I could have used to go back to section 1 =(

Section 3: Too easy. Pattern recognition ftw.

There were a lot of 3x3 pictures were the first picture plus the second one equalled the third one. Or superimpose the first one over the second and the ones that overlap cancel.

For the put in order and choose the middle ones. The easiest way is to either assume the pattern is a combination of rotation, translation and reflection (plus colour swapping) and try to eliminate two straight off. For example, if you notice there is a ball in all of the pictures that is always either white or black, and there are three whites and two blacks, the pattern is almost always going to be white black white black white. So the ones with black on them can't be the middle one. Then you work from there, try and figure out which is first and last (Most horizontally left... sequence of rotations etc.). Meh, that's just how I did it.

hey guys,
  from past experiences u heard, about what percentage u should get right to have a realistic chance in med? btw can anyone have a guess about what the the mean score would be?

[merlin]

cause in the practise acer booklets I get about 70%

u shud get 90th % overall generally, thats around 61-65% as a raw score, which is still pretty hard to get.

Last year for monash the UMAT score cutoff for an interview was 59. This year it will almost certainly be higher. Percentiles are no longer used by Monash.

seriously, don't worry so much about it, nobody will know except acer. just blame them for creating a worthless piece of shit and labelling it as a 'UMAT'.
