I mean the actual test papers.I was informed that some blokes in Melbourne are looking for new q's around December.I was also told that the q's were agreed on and are printed already.Who on Earth would write these q's any way.They must have to sign some confidentiality agreements i say. Anyone knows how it goes? enlighten us!!!

i would imagine doctors, education professionals etc. but they would have many questions ready and trial them overseas so there is no way to be sure which ones will b in the actual test. e.g. for section 2, they trial the questions overseas and the option that is most commonly picked is the correct one.

Not sure, but I heard that a friend of a friend got 100% on his UMAT and they asked him to contribute to questions.

I dunno, people hired by ACER I guess. Doctors and the like who spend heaps of time and effort on each question. I heard it takes a lot of money to develop one question....

Thanks fellas. I reckon Hookers should write some of the sec 2 conversations too.They are as good ( or even better in some cases ) in analysing people than psycologists and specialists. We live in a democratic society so everyone should get a shot at providing these q's.
