    Anyone tried the new UMAT papers released recently? Apparently they're e-books and can be accessed in up to 3 different computers. Are they any good? Just wanted to ask because I wanted to save a few bob (~20 EUR me thinks). I can buy one then someone can buy the other one then we can share them. :D Oh yeah, check them out here: http://umatweb.acer.edu.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21&Itemid=3

    I actually have no idea but according to the website, they're new (released early december 2009 afaik).

    Yes, they might have just been updated versions of last year's paper. Do you have them for both years? :o

    By the way, seeing that yous have them, do yous think they're any good for preparing for the HPAT?:confused: On a side note, are you both applying to medicine this year?;)

    Yep, I'm applying this year. I've both practice UMAT and HPAT tests and they are identical to each other. Great for practice considering there's only one HPAT sample paper available.

    That being said, there's only so much benefit practice will give you. At best it will let you be familiar with the paper and the style of questions, but I highly doubt you can actually improve your ability to answer them by much.
