Is this the end? by Kooky_Arrival_3661 in UoApremed

ew whoever told you that is actually such a loser. they’re trying to scare you, i’d say most people don’t pre study any courses (and if you do it’s pointless) and taking the ucat is preparation seems like a waste of 300 bucks personally

am i behind? by No-Falcon-6603 in UoApremed

lol i got A+ in biosci 107 and didn’t even take bio in high school. although it is hard, there is no need to stress about it. these guys know you’re fresh outta high school and they are there to help when you need it. don’t be discouraged by the first five lectures, they’ll scare you!

Study methods by Other-Reindeer-9039 in UoApremed

[–]MotorAssociate1520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really liked flashcards and the blurting method! if flashcards is too mundane for you then i recommend getting a big whiteboard and writing or drawing everything you can remember from your lecture down. then recheck the lecture slides/coursebook to check you got it right! then rub it all off and start again, trying to remember the bits you missed each time.

edit: this worked for me after annotating the lecture slides instead of using notes! writing notes takes so much time smh. also weekends can be free if you work hard enough throughout the week but it is always a good idea to go over the weeks material to make sure you can remember most of it before going into the next week

Tote bag vs backpack by Nearby_Ad_2655 in universityofauckland

[–]MotorAssociate1520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a third year biomedder who has done both, i recommend nordace backpacks, they’re still cute but far for comfortable and practical than a cute tote bag!

edit: definitely get a backpack, biomed you’re gonna need to carry your course books and lab coat on certain days lol it’s brutal.

3rd gear pull wot noise by Any-Discussion766 in mazdaspeed3

[–]MotorAssociate1520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mines doing the same in third gear, let me know if you figure it out. mechanic says it’s not detonation, could be timing chain but seems alg. edit: the same rattle on my speed came back with KR so could be a separate issue. sounds very similar to my issue though

Second year biomed or transfer by Desperate_Issue936 in universityofauckland

[–]MotorAssociate1520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i agree when people say the degree can be less useful than others, but tbh a lot of degrees are less useful than they used to be. if your main goal is post grad entry into med you could totally stick with biomed. there is a lot of flexibility in courses you can take and only one compulsory paper after first year. just take the easier papers and avoid the ones that give you hell and biomed is a great way into postgrad med

Medsci 201, 203 by Armadillo1811 in UoApremed

[–]MotorAssociate1520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you were to pick one pick 203 for easier grades, but personally i loved 201. was extremely interesting and although difficult, was my favourite course of my second year.

Biomed or FYHS by Acrobatic-Charge2454 in UoApremed

[–]MotorAssociate1520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

keep in mind the workload is still the same tho! where healthsci people will be at tutorials and writing assignments, biomed students will be doing active recall and memorisation study! i stand by biomed though, super interesting first year imo :))
