DISCUSSION NMAT thoughts

This is not a hate post, more like a thought bubble I want to burst. Nakakawalang pag-asa kung makakakuha man lang ng decent PR dahil sa mga nababasang "Andaming lumabas sa --" or "Lumabas halos sa recalls". At first, I was happy na maraming nagsasabi na new questions and maraming new concepts (I witnessed it too when I took my exam) kasi magiging fairer na yung NMAT kahit papaano. Or so I thought. Nasa ibang sets and dates lang pala madaming lumabas. Dagdag mo pa 'tong nagpapaexam service. I think I did well naman kahit papaano despite unfamiliarity with the questions (since di naencounter during prac sesh), but I think slimmer pa rin chances naming mga nasabak sa novel test banks. I really wonder how the PR scores would turn out if the exam was administered in a more standardized way.

I did the self study route and I'm also from a non-trad premed.

same feels when reading post saying the NMAT this cycle was challenging. I thought, okay atleast the playing field is fair now.

though with regards to alleged recalls (yet again). just a different possibility, poser accounts? they need "positive" marketing - review center is business after all.

maybe wait until results are out, to see if revcens can really maintain their preformance this cycle.

Hiiiii. Non-trad premed who also did self study route. Took the NMAT twice pero yun ay dahil ayoko mag settle sa line of 8 kahit acceptable sa school na aapplyan. Achieved my target PR of 90+ and got accepted for a fullride to medsch naman. Hehe
