aaaahahahahaha. that. is hilarious. reckon a kid with child abuse could get his message across in a multiple choice test?

It's ACER, they would probably interpret it as "nervousness" anyway... <_<

or if you are reallie depressed, you could go B A D B A D B A D...

*likes*

 

[godoftoast]

BAHAHA. When things don't go your way, sit at your desk and sulk. That's the med way!

You're gonna make a great doctor

See the UMAT is perfect for determining good applicants!

Do you think they could legitly have DDDDDD as actual answer? Cause in my experience, everytime ive got a overtly long series of same answers, i usually get a few wrong.

Could happen, each paper for each student is different, the questions are in different order with different sessions having different questions. Therefore the answers are also in a randomised order mate.

GoT I wish I could've gotten that for section 1. I'm thinking of going with the most commonly occurring letter as my choice for blind guesses rather than straight c's.

haha you mean the least commonly occurring letter? that seems more sensible

weird umat score

hey i did umat in 2009 but only studied section 3 because i cbf with other sections.....

anyway my percentiles were
0-20
0-20
80
overall 44th i think thats a little high considering other people
who got

45
47
48
and
were awarded a overall percentile of 35
bit weird definitely supports the theory of different sections given different weights

Wait so you're saying I should go with the least common one?

Nope, just pick any, the chances of getting the right answer are the same no matter what system you use.

Reason is that the probability of choosing the right answer for question 1 is 1/4 and the probability of choosing the correct answer for Q2 is also 1/4 since the correct answer is independent of anything you would have picked before that. Therefore, the probability of picking the correct answer is ALWAYS 1/4 for any given question no matter what order you pick random answers. Picking CCCCCCCCCC is the same as ABDCBDBCDADBCBCADB.

Damn I have a cold today hopefully its gone by tomorrow, I don't want to be sneezing over the test papers.

 

[Susie2010]

Just a big good luck to everyone taking the UMAT tomorrow! I'm really excited!! Mostly because by this time tomorrow, I'll never have to look at another pick the middle question again! (yy)

 

[Lukybear]

Yes good luck to all.

Post UMAT chat, 6pm on the day, after the UMAT. Be there to discuss how you went and maybe meet a few people you might end up doing a course with next year.

Last minute question (typical):

Are we provided with pencil(s) and a rubber? Or do we have to bring our own? If so anyone know the lead size of the top of their head?
