It seems that, at least for non-standard entry, focus on improvement should be geared towards Sections 1 and 2, and less so for Section 3.
What was your strategy for any of your past UMAT attempts? This year I started with Section 3, took too long, and just did the rest in order so to speak .
How do you think you as a person became good at S2? Do you feel like you have a large vocabulary? I got 53 both times :/. Would you say there are techniques/anything that goes through your mind when you do S2?
Also, I've not done any UMAT 'courses' so to speak, but what are these "mapping patterns" for S3 .

If UTAS only considered S2 scores and had no threshold for other sections, wouldn't that just make it so that students only answer S2 questions?
I ask because UWS seems to give S3 little or no weighting (no one knows the formula) and so what's stopping people from gaming it by ignoring irrelevant sections?
I guess it's also possible that ACER aligns your marks so prevent stuff like that happening. I know that for GAMSAT they use one of the sections to normalise the scores of the others.

How early did you guys start last year? Would you say a month, with not much on, is enough to do quite well?
Hello!
If I were to try the UMAT once more next year (2017 was my first year as a 1st year university non-standard applicant) and my ATAR in 2016 was 99.50, approximately what overall UMAT percentile would I need to be offered an interview from UNSW (Assuming my GPA was also high enough to be considered)? Would high 80s be sufficient or would they be looking at a minimum of low 90s percentile?

Hey guys, given that this thread has popped up I'm just wondering how we can all collectively improve on section 1? It's just that the actual section 1 questions in this year's UMAT seemed very different to the questions I could find in the ACER papers and others.
It is apparently true that you can ignore S3 for WSU, but if it's sub-50 you've disqualified yourself from Monash, JMP, UTas & Curtin.
