UMAT Practice Questions (1 Viewer)

I recently recieved the new 2005 UMAT practice questions booklet - looks good. Does anyone know how difficult the questions are in comparison to the real UMAT? Even friend of a friend sources are useful. (The questions are taken from old UMAT tests, I assume these were equal difficulty to the current test ques)

Also, Where the heck do you check the answers - none are included as far as I can see.

well if there were none included i guess there arent any

check with people on the forum

upload the questions

I don't think the idea is to show you if you're any good or not, just get you used to the format. Hence no included answers.

ACER isn't as mean as I originally thought.

Sorry for that act of complete supidity,

Haha! Nice job there, sport.

At least you haven't done this yet:

Cute little Asian medgirl: Where's the groin again? Do girls have one?

 

[inasero]

at least she's cute

 

[Lexicographer]

True but cute means jack when you're doctoring.

She won't even touch cadavers yet.

^^ neither have i... being comfortable around dead people doesn't just happen straight away (only had 3 anatomy pracs though)

 

[inasero]

by second year, maybe you will...but then again the bodies might stop coming in by then

 

[Lexicographer]

It comes more easily to some people, like me. I have never had any trouble handling cadavers or other gruesome material. I guess it's because they're preserved and not the same as fresh flesh - before dissection I couldn't actually handle raw meat from the butcher. Couldn't stand the smell of blood (it's worst with chicken).

Now I guess I can do pretty much anything though.

 

[mervvyn]

Yeah, I know I'll do it and get used to it, probably later this year... but it just hasn't happened yet. I don't think being uncomfortable with cadavers at the beginning of first year is too much of a problem - of course, if you got to final year and it was still an issue, you'd wonder why you were doing med...

 

[Lexicographer]

Haha yeah you'll be fine. Just don't feel too stressed about being uncomfortable, that will keep the issue at the front of your mind and prolong it.
