Given that it's not that far off, many many many people have. If you haven't you're probably behind.

Some people prepare so much, some do it a few weeks before, others go in without any preparation.

I know of so many that spend so much time preparing and end up with bad results, it's not funny, they do those courses from medentry and stuff as well just doesn't seem to help that much, it's more on natural ability imo

lol, you're all shook, ain't no such things as half way crooks.

Studying for UMAT is for try hard failures, who will get beaten for not doing medicine, and then when they are a dead beat GP for 10 years, realise they have no interest in it, and end up having a shit time.

It's called ability' peeps.

You can't study for it but you can get a feel of the layout and time management.

I've heard F2F papers are way easier than the actual one.
Is that right?
I'm doing some of 'em and not even getting close to 50% overall.
I must be really bad at it then?

That's pretty good either way. I remember getting about 65-70% in Medentry, and I ended up getting 80 in UMAT (not excellent, but passable), and somehow managed to get an interview (I'm guessing it was predominantly because of my ATAR more than UMAT).

Good work!
