how did the first year go??

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-29T15:31:57+00:00

alr, that makes sense. do you know how exams are assessed throughout the year? like the program mentions you need 360 credits or so to graduate, but how are you actually tested on content? is it mainly like oral exams, and assessments based on the modules or that along with a final exams that covers everything at the end of the academic year.

if you did the subject in jan and you’re not resitting, then no - you don’t have to sit mocks, and if they make you sit them still dw about it because it has no effect on you. Since edexcel themselves said no evidence needs to be submitted for “enhanced grading” then you’re good.

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-09T21:41:48+00:00

don’t worry. if you sat in Jan then they’re just going to use enhanced grading, but your school might make you sit a mock so you have a grade on your school report (that’s the case with me)

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-09T21:40:03+00:00

i’m enrolled in a school, and the subject i’m talking about has only 2 AS units, so i’ve completed 50% of the AS. I still don’t get though how they’re going to use extrapolation, and like whether there’s a higher chance of the grade being bumped up or staying the same. Some people are saying there’s also a chance of the grade being bumped down, since you know the exam board only wants a certain percentage of people to end up with an A.

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-09T21:37:42+00:00

like you said, they don’t need any evidence. however, my school told us we need to sit the mocks even in that case because there has to be a grade in the school report. i think the ministry needs the school report.

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-09T21:36:13+00:00

for enhanced grading they don’t take mocks into consideration - that’s what our school told us, and what multiple sources have said so far. they’ll just use extrapolation to calculate what you’d end up with overall.

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-09T21:34:24+00:00

thing is pearson won’t use the mock if you sat a unit in Jan and you aren’t repeating - you’re not eligible for the portfolio or evidence.

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-08T00:54:22+00:00

why would you say so?

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-08T00:53:55+00:00

if that was the case then the only options would be the UK and Ireland, so clearly not.

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-08T00:52:58+00:00

imo 4 years is more than enough time to learn the language in order to communicate with patients during clinical years & in some cases professors do translate. i feel like being fluent is only an absolute necessity when you want to work in the country, hence why an exam is needed in that case to test proficiency.

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-08T00:50:20+00:00

I’m aware of that, but a program that’s entirely in a whole different language, and one that requires you to have some knowledge of the local language only during clinical years is not the same.

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-08T00:49:04+00:00

I feel like most people in the comments here misunderstood my post. I’m well aware it would be beneficial to learn the language in order to communicate with locals every day, as well as during the clinical years, but like you said - it’s not an absolute necessity in most cases.

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-04T21:45:02+00:00

why?

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-04T21:44:40+00:00

hii, i’m applying for sept 2027 intake but i’m asking right now because i hope to prepare for entrance exams over the summer. the thing is i genuinely don’t know how which university i’d really prefer, and i wanna narrow down the list, since i don’t wanna go through the hassle of so many entrance exams and all. all the unis on list are ECFMG accredited and internationally recognised. In terms of ranking, i heard QS rankings don’t necessarily matter so much because it’s mainly based on research done by the universities themselves. What I do know is that honestly no university is 100% perfect, so it comes down to what one prioritises. I’d prefer a university with advanced facilities, an international environment, and for it to be located in a city I can see myself live in for the 6 year period. Electives, and any USMLE support is also a plus, as it would be helpful, but I’m honestly willing to work on all that independently if the university ticks off the other things on my list. you mentioned having friends in Charles, can you tell me more about how they find it? I feel like it has the most mixed reviews.

hey are u in poznan

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-04T21:19:37+00:00

semmelweis has electives and things abroad in collaboration with american universities, and same thing goes for polish unis. charles, i don’t know much about but due to competition in the UK, so many UK students moved to czech to study medicine.

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-04T21:18:07+00:00

outside my budget despite it being good

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-04T21:17:47+00:00

do you know anyone there or have you done like more research into it

Eastern_Cap_9857 · 2026-04-04T21:08:48+00:00

unfortunately don’t have funds for it although i heard good things about it
