medentry workshops tend to run several sessions every year, especially during the holidays. check Medentry website for confirmation. btw, it's slightly cheaper to go with a group.

ACER doesn't recommend UMAT preparation courses. Also, the "UMAT-style questions" could be fake.
The questions are quite similar. How would you know if you've never been to a course before? :rolleyes:

That being said, the courses themselves are total bullshit. All you need are the past papers.

completely agree... i just did the course... and they clearly say that u cant "learn" and ace the UMAT.... u have to "develop your analytical skills"--- through Q's ie Practice Papers.. U need to practice

According to our lecturer, the workshop is only worth 35% of the total sum u pay LOL !!

why don't you think its worth it? i mean surely they teach you how to approach the questions, how to think, etc.? is doing all the past papers alone enough?

I reckon doing the papers alone is more than enough. But at Medentry, I don't think you can just get the questions, so you might as well go along to the course.

I don't think I actually learnt anything at the workshop....

No they do not teach you how to think. No one can help you if you do not know how to think at you age.

How do you get UMAT past papers when ACER doesn't release them?

ACER sell some booklets when you apply for UMAT. All candidates are given the opportunity to purchase these booklets.

I almost fell asleep in the UMAT workshop today. I'm so going to fail the Trial UMAT exam tomorrow. Haven't done any practice.
