    UMAT 2017 Results Thread

    To be honest since its below 50 its pretty disappointing. I got 88%tile but 46 in S2 and I'm gutted that I can't go for JMP.

    UMAT 2017 Results Thread

    I'm no expert on this, but I don't think you'll make the JMP cutoff with that score if your not rural. Its normally somewhere in the low 60's, but it depends on the cohort so don't loose hope. As far as applying, you're passed the 50/50/50 requirement of some uni's and have a decent score so you...

    S1: 61 S2: 46 S3: 70 Overall 177 which is 88%tile S3 was my worst when preparing on medentry but I got a bit better with practice and it somehow dragged me up in the actual test. RIP JMP though, really wanted that low ATAR cutoff for rural students. Anyone know what ATAR would be needed...

    That was at the end of the cancer question I think (the tables comparing 1970's to 2010 cancer detection). I'm not too sure, but I think that was the question. Anyway, the 4 options for the the answer were all in the form of "treatment a didn't do worse than treatment b at procedure a" and it...

    Oh that flower thing was trash. It didn't make sense, and it took me some time to even realise the tables had the additive switching from top to bottom. But the answers didn't really make sense. There were actually few questions in the paper that had answers that didn't really fit or make sense...

    I found S3 very different to medentry. There were very few "pick the middle" questions (thank god). But the matrix questions were far more common. I had a 4/5 questions I thought were quite difficult, but even for the other ones it was easy to narrow down to 2 options but it was often hard to...

    Physics electricity model

    Thanks, That's a really good idea, I was going to try the simple water model and set up tubes etc but was having some problems in figuring out how to set up the fuses etc. If I use the paper model I'll put pictures of it later.

    Physics electricity model

    So I have an assessment in which I have to make a model to demonstrate the safety features in homes such as fuses, circuit breakers etc. So what type of model might be a good idea to use in this? It has to be a proper 3d model and we will then do a presentation using this and explain these...

    Self selected text for belonging!?
