I thought it was super hard compared to the standard of the practise paper questions. and they say u need no prior knowledge... wat about all the emotions in section 2?? for the cat question, the black cat was being rotated anticlockwise and the white one was being flipped from being upright to upside down to upright etc...

Section 1 and 3 were terrifying.
Ran out of time in section 1, left out about 10 questions.
I don't remember getting a single "put these in order and select the middle one" correct! Wtf was the one with the blocks stacked on top of each other, some with little stars, some white, some grey? BAH.


There was this guy next to me, and his underlining was so fucking loud it totally put me off. YET AGAIN, I didn't stop blowing my nose from the beginning of the exam til the end, so ... :p

The girl next to me finished each section with about 10 minutes to spare.
Then she'd sit there tapping her foot and coughing periodically so I couldn't think straight.






I hope she failed.

There was a guy like that near me, tapping his fingers =/

I found section 1 pretty difficult, had to guess a few. 2 was mostly ok and 3 wasn't too hard I think.

Section 1 was hard, had to have a quick glance with 5 minutes to go over the last 8ish questions.

Section 2 was alright except I didn't know what some of the emotions were ^_^

Section 3 was easy. I had picked up a really nice way of getting a lot of the middle ones by doing the practice tests, basically you just looked for the duplicate ones and the odd one out was usually the middle.

haha i bombed out too.... dont worry that much the umat thing SUCKS...

a doctor does not need to know how a black and a white cat orientate each time..
its the principle, the problem solving.

but anyways, that question was friggin easy, they were just spinning around.

haha yeah there were quite a few oldies at sydney.
section 1 was the hardest!! there were 10 minutes left and i had about 24 questions left...i guessed the remaining questions :( ....is there any chance of me getting a good mark with that many guesses?
anyway section 2......i agree...i did not know some of the emotions...the words were hard :(
section 3!!!! that was goooooodddd....i had 4 more questions left and there were 17 minutes left :)
i got the cat question :) .....the ones where u had to find the middle picture...i basically used the technique someone explained earlier...where u find the two that are the same...put them on the ends and there is one that is the odd one out so that is the middle one....i went back over section 3 obviouslybecause i had so much time left...and i changed the ones that i guessed at the start of it because i thought i wouldn't have time....so i'm happy with that :)
overall.....i think i should have done the practice test properly so that i would have managed my time properly in section 1
my dreams are spoilt now :(

practice test is way to easy. the real deal is way to hard.

I could'nt get the cat one, there was no way that shit was rotating, and I could'nt get the one with the square and insinde the square was a circle and another square with a triangle inside it...


btw, i looked up the definition of flippant
Definitions of flippant on the Web:

* showing inappropriate levity
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

I don't get it?

I shall add to general consensus and say that Section 1 was a bitch.

Section was pretty good.

And Section 3 was the easiest.
