I'm positive section 3 is the least scaling section out of the 3, in order it goes (decreasing) 2,1,3. Let's just say im glad section 3 scales the least

Did anyone else find themselves looking at a random person and thinking, 'I wonder if I've talked to that person on BOS before...'?

Did you just use the ACER practice stuff, or did you buy the commercial ones? I just used the ACER ones, and I didn't think the actual test was much harder, but that might just be my weird opinion.
I just used the ACER ones.

I honestly do not remember at all. Maybe other BOS'ers can help you out. The exam was just too intense I did not even get a chance to take a breath for the whole 3 hours. My mind was just blank after that.

you guys will be happy to know that at the end of the day umat is just an exam to help the universities to cull the number of students they have to deal with. serves no other purpose really.

Thankfully, I found some light humour in the exam.
I had to piss really badly, and rushed to the toilet at the start of a section. Pretty much everybody was waiting in line & there was only one urinal.
Unfortunately, only two people were on it when it could fit three.

So some people were in front of me, and people behind me called out "IS ANYBODY GONNA MAN UP AND USE THE MIDDLE?"

At that moment I put my hand up, went to the front of the line and took my place in the middle of the urinal.

Best. Day. Ever.

I wouldn't, but given that there are several people doing the UMAT that use BOS there'd be several people in that room that I would have talked to online before - I just have no idea who. I find that a strange thought.

So um, a late hello to all the BOSers I unknowingly saw today!

Its interesting to see different ppl's strengths, personally i thought section 1 was pretty hard and S3 was okay. But some ppl find S1 easy, and/or S3 hard. Go figure lol

What I find comforting, tho, is that pretty much everyone thinks S2 is BS (Y) :D

For some reason I felt compelled to wear my uniform, even though I didn't go to school in the morning. It's actually more comfortable than most of my clothes... :\
