Do you/ did you have them, and did they help? (I'm freaking about UMAT and its like 18 months away )
As in, coaching colleges?They helped more than any crappy lecture could teach anyone.
Worrying about the UMAT already? You remind me of me a year ago!!!the leader said:Do you/ did you have them, and did they help? (I'm freaking about UMAT and its like 18 months away )
Nah, too much trouble; I'll just scab the $36 out of my parentsLottoX said:Haha ask someone who bought them last year and they'll give them to you for less! Maybe even for free!
Mmmm just wondering, do ACER produce practice questions, sample questions and practice tests each year? I'm just wondering if i need to order the ACER stuff because a person I know is giving me all her UMAT resources for free, and I'm presuming she has ACER stuff too...LottoX said:Haha ask someone who bought them last year and they'll give them to you for less!

USyd only has postgraduate courses for Dentistry and Medicine thus is uses the GAMSAT. UMAT is usually for getting into undegraduate courses.Evergreen said:why doesnt USYD use umat?
I believe section 2 is about empathy or somesuch. Interpesonal Skills? Basically it tests your ability to interact with patients.Evergreen said:also, i dont think umat is an indicator of whether u can be a doctor or not, it only assesses logical ability, i.e. problem solving, pattern recognition.
Well entry into Medicine and Dentistry is very coveted so prep courses have capitalised on this by charging a high fee. People are willing to pay that much so they sell it at that price.Evergreen said:also, is the umat harder than the free questions at medentry.com or whatever? i tried those, they werent that hard. why are the packages so damn expensive.. 500$... its bullshit?
I so very much wish that was true.yoakim said:"there's no evidence that umat prep courses gives students an advantage over non applied prep courses. it cannot be concluded that the students who scored high umat results with the prep course training were benefitted highly from these prep courses" etc.
Mmmm, but then again, personally, and probably with most other people's perspectives, I believe that UMAT prep courses do help...I've been convinced by past prep. course students lol that it indeed does benefit you. Five hundred buckeroos from my own pocket, here it goes...dr baby beanie said:I so very much wish that was true.
GAMSAT is for graduate entry.dr baby beanie said:I hope UMAT comes with disadvatange points but I don't think it will, suppose then again disadavatage points don't work on medicine either.
What are the alternatives to medicine? Do they involve doing a GAMSAT? Or are there any other ways of bypassing UMAT to get into medicine. I'm so nervous and worried.
