99.85.

But, I got the UNSW interview pre-HSC, so they used my ATAR estimate post-Trial, which was 99.80. So, going by that, I'm guessing 99.80 + 80th percentile in UMAT (which was a score of 56) gets you an interview at UNSW. But I guarantee you, that marks was on the lower end of the acceptance spectrum - I was probably one of the last people to get offered an interview based on that.

Well then, you should be fine. I only did a couple of MedEntry papers the weekend before the exam.

From what I've heard, if you're getting around 85 (for UMAT, the actual exam itself), you should be fine.

Section 2 is quite hard to get high though, it seems like all the answers are correct and you really need to think deeply which one is BEST of all correct answers. But yea its not like it does your head in with heaps of puzzles and problem solving but it isn't "easy" to get high.

PS. If I want to ask questions about the UMAT is this the right place to post questions? (Medentry etc)

yeah, your questions prob have to placed here: http://community.boredofstudies.org/forumdisplay.php/332-Medicine-and-Medical-Health-Studies
But people might hardly view,just ask it here, and moderators would move it if they want.

Lol, Section 2 is really easy, you just have to be empathetic.

This site is unlike MSO, you are free to discuss prep courses.
