UMAT isn't exactly based on studying whereas you have to study for trial type examinations. Deal with it, the rest of your cohort is:p

too much stress, too much pressure..
yep~~ unfair..
but people apply for the UMAT knowing that..
think of it as experience for future reference..
i mean~~ medicine or whatever..
isnt exactly relaxing.. its a demanding degree;;

Doesn't mean he can't ask for an opinion.

Different schools set different dates for trials, so the people who set the date for UMAT don't take into consideration for having it after/before trials

I don't think it's unfair. Schools generally have trials in the middle of term 3, right? The same time as UMAT so in other words, everybody who wants to do UMAT is screwed.

By the way, I say that you should worry more about the trials than UMAT. Hope you come to a compromise!

Hey, yeah, i am having the same problem. I think UMAT is a bitch (sorry mods), but seriously its so full of crap. But luckily my trails are about a month away from the UMAT, so i have a bit of time to study. Have you joined any preparation courses?

"To ari89" You can actually prepare for UMAT, but its more of a "get used to the format" type prepare.

Icarus as in 'flew high but then became overconfident and came crashing down and died'? Isn't that a bit of a ... bad choice of image for a test prep company?
