Maybe they just mix up the short questions and stuff, instead of scattering them randomly all over the paper.QueenOfLeon wrote: »No point really worrying about it at this stage, but are you sure?

Well tbh we were packed pretty close in the exam hall and even as everyone opened the first page you could tell from the pictures that the questions were not in the same order. A few people I talked to afterwards seemed to notice the same thing. Thats not to say any of us were trying to cheat.

what do people think theyre chances of gettin into medecine are ??
in that paragrapgh about the woman and patrick, the late lad, does anyone think that your man was over analysing the situation by taking every word into account , thats how i'm guessing a lot of people ran out on time. they have obviously left certain key words to leave a good trail to the answer.......... this man was obviously embarrassed for inconveniencing her after their introduction, her tone was sharp and he was taken aback....... simple as
You really think so?
He didn't seem that embarrassed to me.. nor did he seem to be feeling bad about inconveniencing her.. I said he was attracted to her!:P cause he seemed more nervous and awkward than anything(in my opinion) and he did realize that she was younger and prettier than he was expecting.. and she didn't seem too angry about him being late, as she only said one thing about it and then she moved on.. I dunno.. I'm probably wrong.. I wish they'd let us see our tests afterwards so we could see where we went wrong!
The hard thing about section 2 is that it's really a matter of opinion.. no two people would feel exactly the same in the same situation. Everyone's different.. but I guess it's just picking the answer that the majority would feel/think.. 0 -
I had five minutes or so left at the end of section 2! I thought it all through in thirty seconds and chose the answer I thought was best. Surely if he was embarrassed for inconveniencing her he would have apologised. He would have said "Sorry. I missed the connection". He left out an apology from his excuse so that ruled out guilt for me.beargrylls93 wrote: »in that paragrapgh about the woman and patrick, the late lad, does anyone think that your man was over analysing the situation by taking every word into account , thats how i'm guessing a lot of people ran out on time.
I was looking at suggested approaches for section II on an Australian website for the UMAT and they said that many of the questions rely on a single verb. I read 'embellish' and saw that he embellished his true reason for his lateness to paint himself in a better light to his new landlord.
I dunno, just my take on it. I could be completely wrong. Let's hope I wasn't 0 -

Same here, I made this account to post here aswell. At the moment my chances are probably 50/50. I imagine i got about 160 hpat so to get in at around 720 id need a full 560 in the LC. Very tough but I might do it.
P.S I love the name, Bear Grylls is a gosh darn hero.
Just a reminder to anyone reading this thread who has applied for medicine, and who is not aware of the points weighting, I assume the above poster is referring to 560 as being representative of 600 points in stantdard points calculation. After 550, each 5 points is counted as one point. Just to clarify for anyone who is confused
A score of 720 for medicine = 160 in the HPAT and 600 in the leaving, if we remove the interference of the weighting. Alternatively, a score of 180 in the HPAT and 545 in the HPAT would equal the 720 mark.0 -
k.stewart : i dono i was readin it over and over and i guess by the fourth of fifth time i thought that they put in 'embellish his past experiences; as an answer to hook for some people, perhaps we were supposed to read into it more than just accept the fanciest answer, but tbh what do i know i just took the test, didn write it.........
partyatmygaff: you said that he wasnt embarrassed but at the end of the paragraph we see how uneasy he was, when he was relieved to go and see his room, his being late made him quite nervous by the looks of it, g2 wait for the answers

Your math skills fail you my friend.
