That would be the upper end of 100%ile... (I think, both in the MedEntry cohort + the real UMAT cohort)!

Your score shows that you're doing a very old medentry paper and while your scores are very good, the umat (and the type of questions) have changed a lot over the past 4-5 years.. Don't make the mistake i made last year and practice old papers.. Buy the acer extra practice paper and do the free matrix/medentry papers if you have time

Yeah I do think that particular ACER test didn't fully represent what questions might be encountered...

Anyway I happened to have one of those Medentry papers on hand - finished the paper just now. Was a fair bit more difficult.
[S1: 38/44] + [S2: 29/36] + [S3: 27/30] = 94/110? :S
Which exam number and year is that paper from?

It's the one that looks like this, which looks pretty old. The sections 1 and 3 of this particular exam seem to have strange format/reasoning questions, I've noticed.

And yeah btw I did buy all the ACER practice papers + Matrix just to be sure.

Lol yeah those are really old, but still good practice

The Matrix ones are sorta easy, does anyone else think that?

Hey guys. I'll be doing the UMAT also but I'm really terrified with the scores you guys are getting especially the dude with 124 I mean I haven't even left range of 90-100 in the matrix and Acer questions.I'll be doing the Medentry soon as well . So I was hoping you guys could give share any strategies you use that could boost my scores plsssssss!!!

Sometimes I fluke a paper and get like a 99 percentile, compared to when I put in a lot of hard work, timing and dedication and end up with a 60th percentile.

I'm just not feeling good about this exam :( coz I've never been this tensed about an exam b4 and it just keeps getting closer !!! OMG!!! I'm also pretty horrible at guessing so I'm officially f*$#ed . Do rural kids get any added advantage on scoring \(-O-)/ ?
