5) D
6 ) B
6 ) B
i think u misunderstood the question.Reasoning for 5:
It may be interesting to note that the first letter of each name are actually the first consecutive 5 letters of the alphabet - this can be used for simplicity.
We are given the information (Bob and Cindy are each older than both Diane and Ellen):
B C ^
D E | older
When given A is older then E, the possibilities become:
A A
B C
A A
D E
This ensures all the possibilities of this statement are covered, now for the elimination process.
Now, for the process of elimination.
(a) Allen is younger than Bob (A is below B)
This is true, but not for all case (A is above B in two cases i.e. Allen is older then Bob)
(b) Cindy is older than Bob (C is above B)
This is not true, as no information indicates this so.
(d) Allen is older than Cindy (A above C)
not necessarily (A is below C in one case)
(c) Allen is older than Diane
In all cases this is true (A is above D in all cases)
Therefore the answer is C.
(Though i am more than sure that there are flaws in this working out)
lol, for 5 everyone said D except one person5. this one is pretty easy im quite suprized many got it wrong
cindy > ellen
if allen > cindy
then allen > ellen
therefore D
6. this one is a little bullshit and at first I said nostalgic(cause shes telling a story)
but reading other peoples above id says it more light hearted
eh, the same person wrote they were wrong twice, wasnt really reading the nameslol, for 5 everyone said D except one person
doesn't nostalgic mean reflecting on the past of good things?5 - D
6 - I strongly think its C because he's reflecting on his past.
But also whilst feeling a little sad about the fact that it has passed.doesn't nostalgic mean reflecting on the past of good things?
I just use a maths equation where applicable. In terms of becoming more 'succinct' I would suggest trying to increase your vocabulary. For example 'extrapolate' means 'to extend further than evidence illustrates'. A good idea is to establish what you want to say and word it in a chronological fashion e.g. How did mendel's experiments help modern medicine? Answer: (1) What was Mendel's Experiment(s)? (2) Example of Mendel's experiment. (3) Use in modern medicine + example. If you have an order or plan for your questions, you learn to choose your words carefully because you are only thinking of one part of the plan at a time.^ lol.
... @ Sainteced- I wish I could summarise Q4 like you did, so succinct and logical. I struggle with this skill all the time; I barely ever finish my exams because I tend to explain my answers in too much detail or struggle to construct an answer that addresses the question appropriately :'(
Should've seen my SC science exam...the 'short' answers were tripple lined. No doubt they had fun reading it.
Any tips on how to be as succinct and logical in answering questions??
I like your method of answering the question. You have covered all bases. Keep it up =)3-A (many people have explained it)
4-D
Like someone said the woman constantly repeats words like can't and need. Option A is too weak emotionally to be counted (she will be in severe pain). For B she doesn't seem irrational because she simply wants to save herself and avoid pain. For C she is concerned but her dialogue is beyond that as she seems panicky. Someone who is concerned would do so in a calm manner. Hence option D
On another note, I have to say sainteced you are a legend for creating this thread, repping you.
That is a good reason that I didn't think of. Thank you3. A
4. D. its not B (irrational) because she is going off previous experience rather this being her first time.
UMAT questions generally use names whose first letters are consecutive, it's a small attempt at making the exam 'easier'.Reasoning for 5:

Good thought process combined with elimination. Nice work =)Doing Q6 first, I have to think about Q5 more...
I believe the answer is (B) -light-hearted.
Initially we get the sense of a reminicense, 'My friend Paul was driving....', however a crash is not a happy memory or one that would want to be relived, i.e. something to be nostalgic about. Not (C).
No sense of anger present (D).
Can't see any sadness present either. Because he/she ends in '... I remember thinking this was unoriginal' rather than noting the affects the event had on him, they chose this ^; leads me to think it's (B).
It is good that you are so sure about your answer. Just don't be discouraged if you chose the wrong one the first time round.i would have to say question 5 is D becaue is makes ALLEN older then CINDY and BOB who are older then DIANE and ELLEN. A>C/B>DE
For question 6 the answer has to be B light hearted.A (angered) would be wrong because the language used does not refer to her /him being angry. the feeling is alo not nogalitic becaue he/she does not miss the event that occured. it also isnt sadened as there is no evidence for saddness
What was your thought process when you chose 'nostalgic'? and next time try not to look at other answers until you've tried it yourself, it is the only way to learn. =)5. this one is pretty easy im quite suprized many got it wrong
cindy > ellen
if allen > cindy
then allen > ellen
therefore D

5 - D
6 - I strongly think its C because he's reflecting on his past.
Good, know the definitions. That is one of the main things that will lead you to success in Section 2, the subtle differences between synonyms.doesn't nostalgic mean reflecting on the past of good things?
Do people make sense?5. D [self-explanatory]
6. B. It would not make sense to act out the last statement in any of the other emotions.
There has to be some sort of sense. Otherwise how would we know which answer to pick?Do people make sense?
People don't always do what is logical and especially with the UMAT you have to be very careful. They examine you on what people have done and how. Logical or not.There has to be some sort of sense. Otherwise how would we know which answer to pick?
Damn human condition.People don't always do what is logical
Haha the amount of people that don't think logically at all.... Especially really smart people who arnt logical, a teacher calls them "knowledgable idiots".Damn human condition.
Silly careers advisor.Careers advisor said it was harder than the whole HSC altogether. At that moment I was dropping out to become a cat.
Your career advisor must really want to scare the crap out of you. It's not that hard.Careers advisor said it was harder than the whole HSC altogether. At that moment I was dropping out to become a cat.
