Wat'd you guys think was the hardest section? Personally, section 2 was too ambiguous so I hated it.

Section 1 without a doubt. 3's pattern's were very easy compared to things I've seen before, and 2 was just alright. 1 actually wasn't that bad but just in terms of time it was horrendous!

Section 2 was extremely hard. Couldn't do about 7 Q's in the end since the passages were difficult and long.

That's so true. Like I said in another thread, I was completely raped by this section, yet when I think about it, if I hadn't panicked so hard, I should've been able to do this.

I suppose, I'm more a non-verbal person though. I preferred section 3. General ability was the best, back in the day.

section 2 was much harder than the medentry practice test sections. so i'd say i found it most difficult.

at some points in section 1 i was like 'this seems way too easy', so hopefully i didnt screw up aha. some bits were tough though. and section 3 was pretty reasonable.

Section 2 was very difficult compared to med entry and most other umat exams there were many medium sized passages for only 1 or 2 marks each, section 1 was easier than medentry it was also shorter, section 3 was slightly harder than medentry, as it was the last section, I experienced the consequences of 5 hours sleep i had left a question to later realising that I had been marking the answers to each question 1 question behind on the answer sheet to
I had to rub them all out and remark it.
