you'll learn everything about the style of the question from there

the only time i would (and did) get private tutoring for UMAT is a week or so before the actual exam, when you can ask all the little niggly questions that youve got through your prep. Cos part of UMAT is learning how to get the right answer by yourself and not with a tutor; and not just 'knowing' the answers expected in a certain type of question.

i'm finding medentry to be helpful simply because it gave me access to 10 practise umat papers :) practise is the way to go.
personally, i don't think that a umat tutor will be very helpful, but getting a study group with your friends may be-i'm in one, and discussing questions and seeing how other people think helps somewhat.

It's good to have a comination of umat coaching (i found medentry feedback to have the best rating) AND having your own discussion group (which I did). In fact- why not set one up here?

hey guys,
i did umat this year and medentry did help me a bit, but the thing that helped me most is a private tutor (this happens to be a friend who i studied with, but he was very much a like a tutor to me). Initially, I was getting percentiles below 50 then I achieved a percentile score of 97! Perhaps some of the ones out there aren't so good? But my friend got 100 percentile in UMAT - he is an absolute gun as in he'll teach you the way in which you need to tackle a question, what sorts of things you need to watch out for (tips and tricks) and whilst doing all this, he makes things seem crystal clear so that you quickly grasp what's going on in the question.

he is currently writing his own questions so that you're exposed to very, very difficult questions which should guarantee you a fantastic mark, charges well for his high quality service, very friendly and casual!

I also got him to help with the STAT which is equivalent to UMAT but for NSW. So if you need that, then go for it!

if anyone is interested just send me an email!

STAT is not equivalent to UMAT! Stat is only used in NSW for entry into Pharmacy and for mature aged students, etc.

sorry, it is not equivalent in that sense. What I meant was that the way in which the questions are styled and the fact that it's used like the UMAT for entrance to uni cources is similar.

@ DrSaladin

Yeah but 96 in Maths Ext 1 is not much when you compare to others who want to get 99.95 ATAR... A guy in my school got 97 in Ext1 when he was in year 8 so... But he is a freak he's already done HSC for physics, chem, bio, 3 and 4u maths...

I think for flower it might of been English which prevented her from 99.95?

If you would like to get a UMAT tuition that does not compare to anyone else on the market get one from www.umataustralia.com.au
Their tutors are actual accredit teachers by the department of Education and Training. They sit UMAT every year and they know what to teach you. Good luck
