It seems like the file has been removed by the uploader! I have all 24 files, but have no idea how to upload them on BOS! + I have to ask for permission from the BOS-er who provided me with the papers

They were removed because Sainteced could have gotten into some serious trouble for posting up those papers and leaving the link open.

Can you ask sainteced for permission, and if he allows it you can send the files to my e-mail. (I'll PM you my e-mail)
Thanks!

Thanks!

Alternatively, you could ask him directly for the files.

Hey, I have sent an email to Sainteced, asking him for permission! If he approves, I will email you the files

[Sanical]

You really should not do these older papers. They are outdated. UMAT constantly adds/removes contents in the exam so it'd be better off buying a package from somewhere.

What is the UMAT actually out of?

[kimmiee--x3]

i'm confused. I thought all universities require you also do UMAT in order to get into medicine. So USYD doesn't? Also, does anyone have any UMAT papers that i can buy off them please? Thanks

[SanjoyM]

The umat is a mark out of 120, I think.

I think it would be best if you consult one of the UMAT exam preparation websites, and buy one of their packages. The prices range from $350-$1,000

USYD only uses ATAR to invite candidates for interview. However, you need 99.95 so it's harder for most people to get into USYD med than other med schools.

Not all uni's require UMAT.
Also, I think some uni's don't even require interview e.g. Tasmania

[Wentworth]

if you want to prepare for UNSW's interview, start developing your communications skills - talk to people and practise eye contact. Also try not to say 'um', 'yeah' and 'like', talk 'properly'.

If you're a determined, cheerful, optimistic and an approachable person to begin with you're already at an advantage, if this doesn't describe you then try to be more cheerful, optimistic, approachable etc, because I think they like these qualities in their med students, and since medicine is a demanding course these qualities (especially optimism and determination) are are necessity anyway. Don't learn to fake these and then drop them after you've made it in, the healthcare system doesn't need doctors like that, you need to be yourself in the interview.

lol also figure out who your favourite/least favourite teachers are, what type of friends you have, and what your favourite subject is because they'll ask. If you want an interview guide there's a really good one on one of the MSO threads.

Also helps to genuinely want to do medicine

[mike12345678]

hey can some one please tell me the steps and how long it takes to become a fully qualified doctor and be able to practise as a GP?

ive been looking on a few sites and they all say different things. again i want to become a GP.

[Wentworth]

5-6 year medical degree, 2years as a JMO (intern then registrar I think), 4-6 year specialisation depending on the speciality
so 11 - 14 years in total.

[mike12345678]

so to be a gp it will take about 10 years or so.
wow thats long my teacher told me it only takes 6 years uni then 1 year internship

[Wentworth]

it's not as bad as you think, you start earning money after you graduate, it's 55K a year or thereabouts for an intern. So technically it takes long to be a GP but you do start earning a somewhat stable living before then. Plus being fully qualified at 30 is not as bad as you would think, imagine a law or commerce graduate working their way up in a firm, they could be stuck in junior positions for a long while, even after thirty.
