One week to go: UMAT questions, advice and discussion

Hmm, I can't actually think of any questions that I wasn't able to solve by mapping (or some crude version of it) or the 3-2 method. What app is this? I might need to try and have a look at the flower question to better understand

Haha, what was I thinking writing the ‘Umat app’ - sorry for the ambiguity! I mean’t to write the ACER UMAT mobile app - they have 10 free practise questions and I think it’s the last one

I downloaded the app after much struggle. I see it now -- looks like a tough one! At initial glance, I'd make a super rough table of pattern compared with ABCDE. I'm pretty tired tonight, so I'll have a go at it tomorrow, and see if the technique is viable

Does anyone else have medentry percentiles that vary heaps? Like my first couple of exams I got 80s, even a 97!, but now aim getting like 60s and mid 70s which is making me a bit nervous

Don't worry about ME percentiles!! They're not an accurate indication of your performance compared to other ME users who may have gone overtime or not taken the exam seriously. Also, less people complete the exams near the end which may lower your percentile even if you're getting similar/higher scores. Your raw scores are a better indication of your improvement. You'll be ok!!

Ok, thanks so much for the reassurance! Hopefully I will be fine on the day and finish 😊

Good luck for everyone for the UMAT. My mate has been preparing for a while now and I guess judgement day is quickly approaching. I'm relatively pleased I am not involved or wanting to pursue a career in this field, this test sounds like a lot of work. Might have to look at some practice tests in my spare time and get a gauge of how i actually would of fared

If anyone has done the 2017 MATRIX UMAT PRACTICE PAPER - The free one, can you tell me if I'm screwed for getting a 76% on it in timed conditions 

I'm rural, and trying to get into undergraduate med at Monash

Just checking but we allowed a clear pencil case in UMAT? Also good luck to anyone sitting the UMAT tomorrow.

Although I decided not to do UMAT, I just wanted to pop-in and say GOOD LUCK to everyone doing UMAT tomorrow. Hope you ace it and get into your courses in your selected universities!
