... graphing derivative functions when you're not given an equation is a perfectly standard 4U type question. It can be a lot trickier than some of the other stuff they test in the Graphs topic.

This is correct. I got the exact same thing.

^^ If true, that would be incredibly strange seeing as though everything you use in 3U re-appears in 4U in some shape or another, except for a handful of things (angle between two lines, binomial identities are rare). Pretty much everything else in 3U HAS to be used in 4U. See motion re-applied...

No that's fine, but telling someone who's getting 124/134 on the UMAT they're most likely not going to get in is just cringe-worthy and ignorant.

"Futuremedstudent" is gonna be looking back in 2 years time and cringing so hard at his posts + username. The kid's literally 15.

I agree with your first statement, but not your second. I mean this in the most inoffensive way, but have you sat the UMAT? I mean I haven't (yet) but from how everyone describes the UMAT, the difficulty and style of the ACER exams are a far cry from the actual test they give you. I've done the...

I think it's been confirmed that Medentry pay people to go into the actual UMAT and memorize questions lol. So it's safe to assume that at least some questions are a reflection of the actual test.

Something that really irks me about medicine is this "do or die" mentality. I understand that to truly want to become a doctor, you have to have a burning desire to genuinely want to help people with their problems. What I don't understand is why everyone is jumping at this kid just because he's...

Was initially a big jump but I'm so so glad I took it. By far my favourite subject. It greatly improved my mathematical literacy and general critical thinking and problem solving. It'll be a tough slog at first (complex numbers effed my head) but you'll get used to it. Time + effort > ability...

Actually not at all that hard, just time consuming. Great subject though. Exam questions tend to be similar, unlike 4U where there is a larger scope of questions. So if you are willing to put in the time, a B6 is very achievable. And yes, familiarizing yourself with the circle geo theorems is...

Yeah I dont mean to burst your bubble, but myself and many other people I know get like 110-120 on the ACER tests but like 84-85 on the Medentry, which are a better reflection of the actual paper. You could be a genius for all i know, all im saying is that the ACER ones are generally too easy...

I was in the same situation as you 2 yrs ago in regards to eco or PE. Picked eco and I'm very glad I did. You might not like it at first but it'll grow on you. PE looks like a rote-learning fest. Btw eco>legal so theres that

All 3 sections are together now so the raw mark would be 134. Out of the whole exam OP only lost 10 marks.

Freaking naturals. I think he's talking about the ACER exama though, which most people ace.

OP what UMAT scores are you referring to? If that 124/134 was on Medentry then go accept your MD right now. If it was one of the ACER practice exams, you might wanna get your hands on another paper between now and next week cos those ones are a bit too easy. If you can pull 124/134 on the actual...

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. LOL if you can't sacrifice a couple hours of $$$ making for a good time, you gotsa ask yourself why you're tryna make the $$$ anyway

That's some pretty solid advice mate. Thanks! After my trials (which most of my teachers said won't be as difficult as they could be), I'll really stick into those past papers.

Don't think it's that extreme mate. I don't think you realize how good a mark of 94-95 is in subjects like those.

For reference I'm sitting on 87% raw in English right now, coming 3rd with about a 1-2% gap between the 3 of us @ a 250 school. If last year's group is anything to go off, the marks will be moderated up to maybe a low 90. I'll try my best for the HSC exam, but I'm not sure if I can pull the...

I know structurally they're very different tests. However, do they employ similar thinking styles? Is there a correlation between how you perform on either test? Because I know section I of the GAMSAT is pretty similar to the UMAT, while section II is essay writing and section III is totally...
