[Undergrad] UMAT Scoring FAQs

[Reivan]

Speed-reading is going to work ~against you if you're prone to mis-reading S1 questions, I would think. I'd be skipping that technique.

The strategy I use, for want of a better term, is literally just to mentally remind myself that I mis-read, and to ~slow ~down. It's not an issue (for me) in sections 2 & 3, so giving myself a few extra breaths for section 1 questions is doable. I am on the look out for questions that ask for 'incorrect' responses, etc. I use my awareness of my weaknesses in my favour. If that makes sense.

ETA: as for a GPA of 7.0 being of benefit, it depends where you're applying to. GPA is often a hurdle requirement, so having 6.0 is no better or worse than having 7.0. JCU is an exception to this. I'm not sure about Curtin.

Got it, thank you so much!, it all makes sense now, I will try that

Western Sydney uni, since I am already studying there. However, I will apply to all medicine universities in Australia
