i was reading when they told us to turn.
I couldn't concentrate when he said turn. I was reading mindlessly.

He wastes like 2 mins giving an intro. And then he gives the same one when theres 10 minutes left. He reads in slo-mo too lol

"You have 10 minutes remaining. Please make sure you attempt all questions. Once you have finished, check over the section. You may not go over the previous/next section, I repeat that you may not go over to the previous/next section"

wow im so surprised a lot of people thought that section 2 was hard :O it was by far the easiest and quickest section for me to do, on the other hand section 3 was the hardest for me

i remember during the exam when there was 10 mins left and that guy would speak into the microphone he scared the crap out of me everytime :(

lol that would've been so distracting for me, luckily i was in section D all the way up front like right in front of the entrance, kind of awkward with all the people staring at you when they walk in though o_o

for me, i found section 1 really really hard on the timing, i had to guess a lot at the end.
section 2 was just difficult!!! i hated how it was so ambiguous, you could get it down to 2, then trying to find the 'most correct' one was just plain annoying, hardest section 2 i had done, way harder than medentry by far!
section 3 wasnt too bad, again i had to guess a few that i didnt get to (time management was a great problem for me) but finding some of the patterns was easier than i had expected we'd get.

overall i think i did fairly av, but the beauty about umat (from what ive seen and heard) is that you can get away with having a poor section as it is all comparative to the rest of the applicants. fingers crossed anyway!

well of my frens that said they struggled in section 1 the majority said that it was cos they had to read too much..and so consequently were short on time

But section 2 had much more reading!
I finished section 1 in time but I couldn't even attempt 7 questions in section 2 coz it was both more difficult and long!

i hope it is really easy when i do it :D
actually i was a bit annoyed that it was so easy this year. everyone else found it easy and therefore small mistakes will cost you heaps in terms of percentile :x

that being said, you don't want it absurdly hard so that everyone is resorted to guessing and hence luck. :p
