are the practice exams provided by medentry a lot easier than the actual umat? because i've heard people say that they got around 50%, but still managed to get a percentile of 80, yet with the medentry practice exams 50% would get you a percentile way below 80. can anyone shed some light on this?

also what raw marks for each section in the practice exams should we be achieving if we what to get an interview?

and does anyone know how acer calculates the marks? do they just add up the percentages of each section?

thanks

actually the practice exams from medentry are harder than the actual umat, people who said they got 50% it was probably their percentile in medentry, where they compare you to other medentry students NOT the entire cohort of those doing UMAT and the students at medentry you are being compared to have received training and are much more able.

and nobody knows how acer calculated their marks except acer themselves

i hope that wasnt too confusing for you to understand

you have to select the "picture" that would most logically be fith in the series from KS, XA, WD, YF, ZE

I think there is an error with the choices.

Hence KT must be the answer.

The numbers in between each letter represent the difference in positions in the order of alphabet.

im doing these exams and i am finding some very difficult. i did the umat last year, and in my opinion the difficulty of the trial exams is close to the same as the real umat. the umat maybe a little harder.

Correct; however, the numbering sequence starts at zero. Therefore, the answer is KS:

AB - DG - KP - VC - KS
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Hope this helps

in my opinion, the umat is actually harder. i did it last year and got raped by the first section. i did well in the last section okay in the second. but the first section is probably harder in the umat. the last section and the second of medentry is harder in my opinion.
how have ur results been inthe exams?

its gonna change this year. they are going to make s3 a bit harder and the reading for s1 shorter. s2 will remain the same. thats just my opinion tho. but based on previous umat exams, last years s1 was a lot harder and s3 was a lot easier. it may have been intentional or a mess up. who knows. just prepare and see how u go, afterall every1 will b in the same boat.
