No prep course; did about half of the free Acer paper on the morning of the exam, but the questions are way too easy compared to the actual exam to be worth anyone's time.

S1 score: 48 (about 44%ile)

S2 score: 39 (about 14%ile despite spending the most time on this section and totally neglecting S3 due to low weighting at Otago)

S3 score: 45 (about 32%ile)

Did I do a prep course and if so how many hours of total prep did I do: 10 MedEntry full exams, most of the drills, and Acer practice test 1 and 2. Was scoring around 70-80% in these under test conditions, but don't know what went wrong in the real thing. I'm quite shocked really. Hopefully my paper remark materialises to something...

My ideal uni and course: Otago MBChB

Did I do a prep course and if so how many hours of total prep did I do: No prep course, watched some of the videos on non-verbal reasoning on the acer website for about two hours the week before. HOWEVER I also did UMAT last year in yr13 (with no prep), got 76th/167 then, so I knew what to expect. (That definitely helped because I was way less anxious this time going in.) (Also obviously I am a first year uni student, not high school)

My ideal uni and course: Auckland University MBChB

Did I do a prep course and if so how many hours of total prep did I do: Yes, 4 Medentry exams and around a 2 dozen drills (as well as the workshop). So 25+ hours.

My ideal uni and course: UQ Medicine (Provisional Entry for Yr 12 Leavers)

Also: Really quite pleased/shocked with this, I never broke 85 percentile in the Medentry exams; I was also really dubious about my section 3 performance.

Did I do a prep course and if so how many hours of total prep did I do: No course, just the practice exam which I thought was WAY easier than the actual test and a couple of youtube videos to prepare for non-verbal reasoning

My ideal uni and course: Auckland University MBChB - Already accepted to Otago in alternative category (I'm a supergrad) but have been informally told that I can replace the HSFY papers that I haven't done with some summer reading at Auckland (so study for a year less)
