Sit
On the day of the test, do not forget to eat breakfast. Depending on the reporting time of your designated centre, you may wish to eat a small snack before you go into the test room. You will not be allowed to take any food or drink, other than bottled water, into the test room.
Each test Section is separately timed. You are advised to work steadily through each Section. It is not advisable to spend too much time on any one question. Read through all the alternative answers to a question, even if you think the first one is correct, before marking your chosen response. If you think you know the answer to a question, mark it, even if you are not certain. Go on to the next question and come back later if you have time.
Please note the following:
- All questions have the same value, therefore by attempting as many questions as possible you stand the best chance of maximising your score. No marks are deducted for a wrong answer.
- If you mark more than one answer to a question it will be considered wrong.
- Answers should be marked directly onto the answer sheet, not in the test book.
- You may do rough work in the margins of your test book. Scrap paper is not allowed.
- Grey lead pencils and an eraser are the only writing equipment allowed in the test room. Other equipment, such as pens, rulers, coloured pencils, etc. are not permitted.
- UMAT is in multiple-choice format. You will mark your answers by shading in ovals on a machine-readable answer sheet. It is very important that you record your answers carefully. Record your answers by completely filling in the oval, with pencil. If you decide to change an answer, erase it completely and mark the oval corresponding to your new choice.
