Umat (2 Viewers)

It's done... any thoughts and feelings? I find it pretty hard to get a good feeling for how I went. It was certainly more difficult than the prep material I had come across.

lol i hate english! my eng. too crap and i couldn't read the things fast enuff, most of the passages takes me a second read to *get* it
so for section 1 i had to guess like 10+ of them lol

 

[FinalFantasy]

i got most of the section 3, but for the type 2 i just guessed it immediately as i came across it

 

[melsc]

At least 8 people from my English class did the UMAT 2day...I hope you all went well

ditto. it was heaps harder than the medentry stuff (especially the patterns!!). it was also pretty weird, because i usually finish s1 in half the time - so this time i spent a while thinking about each one and ran out of time!! awful. s2 was confusing, as always...and i started off s3 confidently cos i saw all the shapes on the first 2 pages within about 20 seconds...but the patterns were so awful and the last type 2 question were just shocking. i ended up guessing which was terrible.

well, goodbye medicine.

section one was tough.
i ran out of time and definitely didn't do well.

Section two was good but it's subjective so i can't say that i did well or bad.

Section Three i found all the type ones, one type 2 and skipped may be 2 or 3 series.

how did everyone else find it?
i guess it's only how well you go relative to everyone else that matters...

 

[Zali]

Section 1 was hard cos there was so much reading and sometimes i had to read it twice to answer the question but i finished
S2 was fine i think (hope)
S3 went better than I expected found all type 1 shapes but not type 2 and i didnt think the patterns were that bad there was only like 2 im not sure of

 

[Zali]

btw how many people were there doing the test in places like sydney and newcastle etc i did mine in Armidale and there were only 50 ppl i expected heaps more

 

[FinalFantasy]

i did mine at sydney, there were a few million ppl lol

 

[Oink]

I completed mine at Sydney today too. Although I got through all the passages in Section 1 I know that I have made many mistakes (and I do mean many...). I don't think I did particularly well in Section 2 either, though Section 3 was a breeze. I think I got all of them, both shapes and pattern.

 

[Mystienu]

wow. you must be a really spatial, lateral thinker.

 

[petar13]

I'll just post what I thought.
Section 1
I was very pumped for this section, I finished it in about 45 minutes. I spent time checking my answers, however towards the end I began losing my concentration, and simple thoughts felt clumsy. Reasonably hopeful.
Section 2
Pretty happy, finished early - some were easy - whilst others where quite ambiguous.
Section 3
I found all the Type I and IIs (Type IIs were all flipped - no rotations!) - though there were some dodgy sequences.
Overall pretty good, glad I didn't stress about it - there were some real wrecks there. Good luck to everybody who sat it. 2 months now.

 

[Spiral]

I thought s2 was the easier section. S1 (there were two questions from the AMEPP course I did!!) and s3 I made quite a few guesses....

Man...... :S when do we get the results?

 

[petar13]

You're looking at 2 months. I don't think they've released an official date.

 

[stargaze]

ahh well.. it's really hard to say how well u went.. I don't even know how what type of marks (raw) is good and what not...

It was interesting... I found it quite mentally draining, but the 2.5 hrs flew by

 

[veridis]

i found it less draining/stressful than i expected.
section 1 was pretty easy. alot of reading and less graphs but that just slowed me down to about 45 instead of 30 rather than actualy make it harder
section 2 was like section 2 is want to be, ambiguous. think i went ok but that means nothing with section 2
section 3 was easier than i thought. patterns i was comfortable with so didnt mind them being a little harder(well except for the find the middle one with the lines/cross in the circle, bastard pattern). shapes i was nervous bout but they were pretty easy. loved the only reflected t2s.

 

[petar13]

Did anybody find the rotating snail in the pentagon a bit odd?

 

[holla back girl]

i liked the snail and pentagon...the only ones that i am pretty sure of.

btw, what kind of marks will we get back? is it raw percentages or a scaling thing?

 

[petar13]

You get a scaled score and a percentage.
Your scaled score is your actual score percentage, reduced/increased in correpondence to the difficulty of the exam. The percentage is your rank against the other people who did it.
So you come out with 68, 97 - that means your scaled score is 68, whilst you scored in the top 3%. Does this sound right to people?

There was a fair bit of background noise going on in that question. I think it was pretty much down to the switching bars.
