Familiarity and time management is more important than intelligence when it comes to standardised testing.
The most important thing is focusing on the process, not the result. Your UMAT isn't the only thing you'll be left with at the end of year 12: The work ethic and study skills you develop are abilities that will stay with you for life. If you focus on refining these abilities, the results will come on their own.
A graduate of Sydney Grammar School, where he was the Dux of his year, Sebastian has been admitted to study a Bachelor of Science at Harvard University. His passions are rugby, rowing and swimming, and he was in his school's first grade teams for these sports. His proudest achievements are performing Bach on the Sydney Town Hall organ, and surviving studying fourteen units in the HSC.
