S3 is generally me best.. was my best last year, and throughout all my prep..
but this year the patterns were harder and a lot more time consuming imo.
I think the general consensus is that s3 was harder then expected/last year.
This is what I thought exactly. Section 3 was absolutely crazy this year. 20 minutes through the test I think I only answered 3 questions cos I skipped so many which was a bit of a worry. I found that it was very hard to eliminate options too.

I think it was more time consuming, but I think it was also more doable.

I can barely do section three ever and I could do it.

I guess we'll have to wait for results.

With the old guy as our supervisor yeah? He was nice
I think I was 4 rows back middle column, the only guy I saw in the section was directly in front of me though, and had a beard lol
I would've been the front of the row to your left (maybe right).

not well. Haha

I got 62:48:59 or something.

Hopefully. I didn't mind the test, although I did struggle with s1 , not that there's any real way to judge how well we went

I found section 1 that I ran out of time for the last 8 :/ and section 3 was do-able but again, I didn't manage my time too well. Probably should develop one for next year's.

Yeah I rushed around 5 questions throughout s1 because I just didn't have time to synthesize it all .. Section 3 is was a bit worried about time so I rushed about 3 lol

Nope. Haha

The test was easier but I don't think I went any better.

I didn't apply anywhere.

After sitting UMAT I didn't see the point.

But yes, theoretically if I got 2 more marks in section 2 I could've gotten into UNCLE and since 2011 and previous UMATs last for 3 years I could've used it this year too. :/

And I only got 69th percentile. Haha
(my friends all laughed at me when I told them I got 69th, because like, I always say ~inappropriate~ things)
But my percentile would've gone up with those two marks.
But I guess only low 70s.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh well, I guess good luck for this time around .. You could have gotten into uws too couldn't you? Or are there umat requirements too high?
