99 overall. (and i got a "perfect" or 800 score in chemistry-blame it on my undergrad degree). took it last december 2006
bring lots of pencils!
i'm taking the NMAT this december, but my major is in social sciences so i'm really weak with the other sciences parts (bio, chem, physics). any tips??hey.
and does the NMAT include calculus problems? coz the MSA reviewer has all these calculus problems and i'm also having a really hard time with those, so i was just wondering if i should worry much about calculus.
congratulations to those who got the December results!
. in physics there are lots of question about circuits and ohm's law. V=IR
. in chem, make sure you still know the periodic table and their properties. be able to know how to compute for a certain percentage of gas in a mixture of gas. study entropy and enthalpy. this is the point of headache for the takers: social science. if you want to have a high percentile rank, take the chance ingetting ahead of your co-takers. most of them will have a low grade on sociology, this means this is your chance!! if you will be able to get a high score in sociology while they have low score, you will have a high percentile!! so review well on sociology, know what is stratification. and also social movement. in psychology, most of the questions are on normal neurology. what is a neuron? easy. the key in the part 2 is to read and review. and also, alot one week review for each subtest before the exam. 4 sure you'll have a high percentile rank.hope this will help you.^you have no other choice but to take the december exam. basically to have a good nmat percentile, you must be good in science. but you can make your rank move up higher if you will strategize. personally speaking, i used some personal strategy in answering the test specially the part one. most of the takers will not be able to finish the part 1. that's a fact!! but what you must do is to get a sample test from the CEM(the one that is given to you when you when you request for their form) then identify which among those 4 subtest is your weakest link and then y strongest link. for example, i am not good in algebra but i'm good in visual acquity(because i have a technique here) so what i did was i answered first the subtest for visual acquity then i anwered last the algebra. most of the takers did was that they anwered last last the subtest for the visual acquity and answered first the algebra. yeah right, they were able to finish the algebra but failed to fnish the visual acquity. for your info, if you will just be able to finish the vishual acquity, it will give you a very high points because it is very easy to perfect. why? if you finish the algebra in time will you have a guarantee that you can hqave a perfect score in that subtest? the answer is no!! not unless your a math wizard. the technique in visual acquity is by using the elimination tecnique.eliminate first among the choices the figures which have similarities. what will be left is the figures which are diffrent from the other choices, then compare the choices left to the original figure. device your own personal strategy for the other ubtest in part 1. practicing hard is the key for part 1. practice always under lesser time pressure because the test is very strict in time limits.practicing part one is fun because the tests are like puzzel game. for verbaltest,practice reading fast. learn how to concentrate.for algebra just try to practice math. although it really sucks. believe me, its very time consuming. if you need to sacrifice it, sacrifice it! for the sake of the other "easy-to-perfect" test. in part 2, you must read a lot. biology has many question about genetics. physics question are more on the theoretical aspect but there are also some questions to solve, but it requires you only to use comon sense to get the right numerical value. to all takers: bonus question:"what is the speed of light". that's my help to you guys.
thanks.

hi, i'll be graduating next year (march) from a local but well known college (due to its high quality education and frequent topnotchers). the thing is, i am hoping to get into UP-PGH. i KNOW it's very difficult to get in because not even a very high NMAT score and graduating as cum laude can assure a graduate to enter there.i also heard that they prioritize UP grads (which i am not)...but is there any chance that i might get in?and what do i have to do (other than have a 90+ nmat and high grades) to ensure my admission to UP-PGH?? what are their standards for admission? Will graduates from other schools outside manila (e.g. visayas, mindanao) have equal chances of getting in? Pls help! thank u.
oh okay.. thanks for the info! so far, how's your med school experience? are the rumors true that you really don't have time for anything but studying? in other words, do you still have a life?

i'm just in my 2nd year, but from what older batches have told me, during your 1st year, you definitely have more free time compared to 2nd year. the higher level you go, the more busy you get. But rest assured, you can still have an average social life during your first year..
if your going going to use these technique, most probably ul get a perfect or if not a high score in part 1 subtest 4. hope this could help u.Hi Lucille2! I'm also 25 years old and planning to go to med school. But the thing is I finished comm arts so its really far from medicine so I think I'm going to take up some subjects in science before I'll take the NMAT. By the time I'll enter freshman I'll be 26 or 27. Age is just a number, the important is the will follow your dreams.
id do that.. they might say im crazy kasi im earning a lot na, but money is not what im after most. i want a profession that makes this world a bit better.. for me, 7 or 8 years of studying is worth just saving 1 person's life, or helping a man walk again so he can play with his children, or helping a child breath easier or a blind person see all the beauty in this world. this is what i want... not an 8-hour office work where people keep arguing about money. money's never the answer. i'm glad to have realized these in my quarter life. it's never too late to rise up for a calling. is UP CM particular with the age of their applicants?
thanks bleudsky
id most probably take premed subjects pa... i have just read this kasi: http://www.cem-inc.org.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=32&Itemid=46
hopefully, makapag med proper na ako before i turn 25.
I'm turning 22 this Nov. Business Ad natapos ko sa UP so pareho lang tayo ng sentiments haha. Pero don't fret. Sabi nga ni Fei, "Med doesnt require anything more than a BS degree and a decent NMAT score". parang mas gusto nilang kumikita ako kesa mag-iinvest sila sakin ulit so ... help me God. Hey Gab. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
Im also planning to enroll in science subjects this 2nd sem in UP. Kaso lang ayaw na ako pag-aralin muna ng parents ko huhu
I went to UP CS and saw a poster of a review school for NMAT. Located in Katips. Php5K, 16 sessions.
Hey, let me know if you're enrolling in UP this Sept.
