What
The RDWA has commissioned MedEntry to provide four one-day UMAT preparation workshops.
The workshops will provide students with an overview of the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT), tips on how to approach multiple choice tests and time management strategies.
Who
In the first instance places are available for:
- South Australian rural origin high school students who are completing Year 12 in 2012
- South Australian rural origin applicants eligible to apply for medicine in the 2013 university intake (eg. through tertiary transfer, students who have taken a gap year, etc)
It is expected that these students will register with the Australian Council of Educational Research (ACER) to sit the UMAT in 2012 once registrations open. The RDWA may request proof of registration to confirm the applicant's attendance at this workshop. There are limited places available for applicants to other health sciences courses requiring the UMAT for admission, as well as Year 11 students.
