    The UNSW interview offers are usually a good prediction of what you got in the UMAT.

    Hey guys I'm not sure what thread it was discussed on, but I emailed ACER in regard to the use of earplugs in the exam and they said that earplugs are not to be used in the exam - no explanation - so who knows why, your guess is as good as mine.....

    In case you get seated next to the dreaded .... SNIFFER! Some people *sniff* need *sniff* to learn *sniff* to use *sniff* TISSUES! lol that's my pet hate in exams but no I don't use earplugs and I found the UMAT testing centre at Caulfield very quiet (probably because it's carpeted) and warm and way better than exams at Uni which are in the biggest, coldest building which I'm sure was built for it's potential to echo small sounds in large ones (the Royal Exhibition Bld for those who know it) grrrr especially when you have a 3 hour exam and other people have 2-hour so at some point about several hudnred people in a hall of somewhere between 1500 and 2000 get up and move chairs tables and belongings then shuffle out creating about 10-15 minutes of noise while you're still trying to write!

    I can empathise with that, the General Math Exam was with the 4-unit/2-unit exam so they all left and i hated it. But in the umat i never noticed any noise since i was so involved, but i do remember the 3 girls surrounding me talking about their trials.

    Scarah I can't believe they put students through something like that, how ridiculous that two exams finishing at different times are run in the same hall or whatever. Complete incompetence and disregard for their students if you ask me..... what uni do you go to, remind me to never enroll there.....
