*puts hand up* ooh, ME! Pick ME! PICK ME!!!!

yep, i'm gonna do it... but i really need to do more of those practise tests that i got from medentry.... i've only done, like, 4 so far ^^'. But i guess i've done all the drills... so it shouldn't be too bad... But, for some reason i've been de-proving in section 2! And i thought i was pretty empathetic.... ahwell, sucks to be me.

You are doing better than me, i have only completed exam 1, and have done various sections from other exams. Yeah, i've done all the drills too, i have been deproving in section 1, i hate it so much. Anyway good luck. What uni are you applying for anyway?

Doing UMAT.

Doing MedEntry.

I've done two exams.

Plan to do the rest within the next week and a few days.

Is it possible/realistic? Probably. Hopefully I stay motivated.

Don't worry. I'm sure it's possible. Well, i'll find out soon enough whether it's possible or not, coz i'm going to be doing exactly that for the next couple of weeks. ^^' Just remember: DON"T PROCRASTINATE!!!!! (though it's one of my fav hobbies) XD

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for dear life that I ace this UMAT because one thing I'm sure of, my UAI isn't going to stand up and go "look at me, I only scored 99.95"

I've done like 5 practice exams now, I think I'm improving, but section one should DIE!! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE

As for my medentry percentiles they are alll over the place, ranging from 92-27, so hmm, but on the whole I think I'm improving... and I'm finishing early, which is good too. :)

Sec III was my worst nightmare for UMAT. Honestly, I was so scared of it. I used to see people saying that Sec III was the easiest, and I used to think "no friggen way". But now, it's my best section. Sec I is my WORST. It's just so much in so little time I think. Ah well. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!

You are doing better than me, i have only done 1 exam, and i have also done some random sections, i don't like completing them in a linear order. But yeah, i think you can do it, good luck to everyone and i hope that we all get into the 2008 undergraduate medicine program at our respective universities

So does anyone know how Eureka! compares to the real section 3?
Sorry, i know what you are thinking but, Eureka is just there to build your confidence, the actual section 3 will be much harder, i suggest you do the practice exams, they should be useful.

yeah the practice exams r better for sec 3 than the eureka stuff, but the sheer quantity of eureka is great at building up your skills initially
