Who is going to sit UMAT this year? (2 Viewers)

[Wooz]

why do they have dif times? wouldnt it make it unfair for some candidates then?

They have different times because of the large number of candidates and can't possibly fit everyone into the venues they have.
Yes and no, there are two different exams set for the two different times, however they are closely based on each other to keep it as fair as possible.

I'm also in Glebe at the Wentworth Park Function Centre. And omg. 8am? Does the test start at 8am? Or registration? I think i'll just get there at like 7am lol..which means I have to be up at like 5am and on a train by like 6am rofl. That's insane!!!

GUYS! CRISIS!

CAN WE TAKE A STOPWATCH? Page 13 says stopwatch is prohibited. Do they mean like a fitness style stopwatch, one that you like hang around your neck? Can't you take a stopwatch that is like a watch, on your wrist, with a stopwatch function???????? SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE THE UMAT BEFORE AND KNOWS TELL ME!!!!

From what i know and what i have discussed with others, I think they are trying to infer that the use of a stopwatch is prohibited because it would be annoying if they started to go off and the beeping they make while setting up the time is a distraction, i suggest you bring a watch and see how much time u have left, also they will give a ten minute warning before the end of each section.

No idea.

The tests are different. Apparently, even if you do it at the same time in the same venue, the questions may vary or their order will vary.

EDIT: Damn, late reply. T_T

Don't why i'm in the HSC forum, meh


Anyway, the time listed on your ticket is the arrival time, not test time.

One of the more unique experiences of yr 12 i've heard as they crush a mass of people into the hall, takes foooooooookin ages to get everyone organised apparently. It's not all people our age either, there maybe some older people there, not like an exam. Make sure you take your ID and ticket or will most definetly send you packing, they don't have time to stuff around

Good luck

I'm doin mine in Geelong but we get there at 8.30, i'll enjoy my extra half hour

Hey, good luck to you too. Does anybody know if there are breaks in between sections? Probably not...

 

[miss-smexy]

hehe I'm doing mine at 1.30pm and not in the morning =) ...I am not a morning person!

 

[BA22]

Nah, no breaks, just 2 and a 1/2 hours to make or break your career.

haha

Haha, i can't help it

I spent two days at a UMAT course with Dallas Gibson

If you've heard of him you know that he is far more blunt than I

Sounds harsh, i know, has the unfortunate reality of being true though

 

[xxJTxx]

So no wrist stop watch that makes no beeps then? Um. How long are we talking for the line at Wentworth? It's gonna be freezing cold in the morning, I bet. EEERRR this is so real now. I hate it. I dunno how I went from saying UMAT is in TWO months, to umat is in two weeks. OMG!

 

[xclusv2bhung]

OH Dallas ... he gave me the shits.

Oh yay 8am Wentworth Park Glebe -_-"
Ah well , I`ll be seeing some of you there then =]

 

[Shrikar]

Don't freak out too much or else your position on the Yerkes-Dodson curve will be detrimental to your performance!

I presume you went to MedEntry?

 

[BA22]

Dallas is horrible. HORRIBLE.

Haha, i can see why

I honestly liked him, seemed to know what he was talking about.

He seemed to have credentials with behaviour based interviews

Not an overly pleasant man, but very direct, to the point

How did you find him? Specifically that is

If i may say so, he seemed to offend most of the asian students at our course

 

[Howliee]

So guys, lets all wear giant signs on our heads so we'll recognise each other on the day. =p
