Wuuuuut you can do that?! You're already in med, lol. Also, you're allowed to fail once I thought :s (and out of curiosity, what happened to your OSCEs?) edit: I might have considered redoing it for the lols if that was so, haha.

Pretty normal. I guessed around that many S3 questions (had no clue, lol) but I still ended up with like 97 or 98th percentile for that section. (these are the questions that you need to skip straight away so you can focus on the easier, free marks q's)

Haha I'm so over going spending hours (on this long term project) flicking through past papers and snipping question/answers, so I'll pass :p Thanks for bump though!

PM'd :)

I had 117 when I did it closer to the real exam.

Can confirm as well. Those ACER practice papers are just a collection of easier questions used in past years (and according to some sources, it's to bait people into doing the UMAT thinking they'll cruise through it).

Re: Dual State Ranker Online Tutoring: Essay Editing/Marking| English Adv (98) Ext 1 I'm serious when I say this - I wouldn't have gotten band 6 for english if not for Anya. With her extensive feedback, it's difficult not to achieve a great mark (she edits your creative/essay to the point that...

Here's a table I made grouping essay q's according to chapter/topic... Almost certain that a few of your trial questions will be similar or is a spinoff from one of these. It was a table on my one note - but unfortunately there are no borders on this website :( - you should still be able to...

Hardwork is one thing. There's also the UMAT/interviews component. You can't really tell how you'll do in them until you actually do them (your school's academic results doesn't really reflect these at all). Also, no - you don't have to be a "straight As" student to get into medicine. If you...

You have a chance for sure. Especially if you consider interstate options as well. I didn't have faith in my abilities either (especially when I was also in Yr 10 - I came like 20/30 for english in a school ranked 300+ lol). Too early to tell whether you can get in or not (you don't know until...

Just used the margins of the test paper, as you said. No small writing necessary :) You have more space than you think. With questions being mixed up, you have plenty of room in the page - e.g. S3 questions typically don't take up much space at all. You have the bottom borders, upper borders...

All I remember from my trials is the massive amount of content that I had to cram. Imo, if you can get through simply having all the content in your head in time you're doing well! (forget doing 10 past papers the day before the exam - you don't have time to do that lol). There's not much you...

ACER uses a method which they do not disclose to scale the marks (some questions are worth more I think). After scaling the marks, everyone's marks is ranked similar to the ATAR and your percentile indicates where you lie. 95th percentile would mean top 5%, 50th percentile would mean top 50%...

Just to throw this out there, if you *just* score an interview it would be very hard to actually be accepted. You need fantastic everything to get in. If 97 atar is what you're going to be getting, then I think a good UMAT percentile would need to be above 95 (like 97) to be competitive. If you...

I'll give an example. All questions in macroeconomics (let's say, fiscal policy) are fairly similar except they can assess on a variety of things. Intro is approximately the same First few body paragraphs (explaining what fiscal is) is approximately the same (including diagrams etc.) Then I'd...

Oh actually, for JMP it's 50 for all only for RURAL students. For others, it's around 60-50-50. (they consider S1 to rank applicants). UTAS is an an oddball. Unless you're from Tasmania, it's very difficult to receive an offer. You need almost/basically 100 UMAT. And yea, UWS changed their...

Why not do both? :D Write essay plans. Remember the points (not word for word!). If, in the exam - there is a question that favours your essay plan - use it! However, if you come across some curveball question (which is not very common except in the real HSC exam...) then write your essay on...

Hear hear :(
