UMAT Remarking

Hey, has anyone had any experience/ know of someone who has had an experience with appealing to ACER for a re-mark? If so, how did it turn out? I wonder how many requests ACER would get! Thanks

I personally have no clue. But you might want to check out the link below. It seems as though there would hardly be any errors made when calculating your score. However, you won't lose anything by re-marking it, except for $85, so if you think your results aren't right go for it!

yep and you get the money back if they are found to have made a mistake. So why not...

Because it's preeeety unlikely that they find a mistake - it's just a person checking off your answers instead of the machine.

put bluntly, it's another way for acer to extract money from you. That's just my opinion though, as I know no one who has done this.

That's pretty much it, ridiculously unlikely that they made a mistake. But to say that I wouldn't get my result checked had i got lower than expected/wanted? hehe

Hi Jeffyeh, personally I'll recommend you not to waste any money to get your UMAT remarked coz a mistake is highly unlikely...

I did it once last year and that made no dif. (btw i got raw score of 135 last yr)

But if you still want it to be remarked then i wish you luck....

$85 not worth it. They have to mark >15k umat tests, the chances of making a mistake are insanely low. Don't waste money on it unless you really really really thought that you must have done better.
THe only scenario in which I would get a remark is if i got 0-20 percentile for all sections lol.

depends... did you get something insanely low like 50, or did you get 0 in one section? then i might consider it. if it's just because it's a bit lower than you expected, or even quite deal lower... chances are that's the score you got. There are lots of mistakes you can make filling in forms, misunderstanding questions etc.. these are more than likely the reason why your score doesn't stack up to your expectations.

god insanely low like 50???!!! wat? lol none of my section reached 50. Im like near the 0-20 % range and i had a major depression. I just cant figure out how i scored a 39 for section 2. Anyways im getting it remarked.
Good luck to those getting it remarked.

To me, if they mark over 15000 tests, it'd be more LIKELY that they would make a mistake. Still, my thoughts on remarking are, if you seriously feel it's wrong, then do it, $85 isn't that much if medicine is really want you want to do. Also, just for peace of mind is sometimes nice too but yeah, if you think it'll make you feel better then I would suggest you do it but otherwise, I agree with most of the posters that it's just another way to get money from you
