if you don't know what a UMAT is, then most noticeably you shouldn't be studying for it.
i generally know what it is. i was under the misconception that it was like a hsc version of those adorable ga tests back in the day, but apparently they're more situational?

I'd only do UMAT for Dentistry :/
Screw med :)

On a related note kind of:
What's the general cut-off at USYD, UNSW, etc. for Dentistry in terms of ATAR and UMAT?
Are there any prerequisites or recommended knowledge for Dentistry?

USYD only offers postgrad dent. UNSW doesnt offer dent. The only undergrad dent course in NSW is Charles Sturt =\
