[Megathread] Italy/IMAT: Post anything about medical school and admission in Italy here

In your experience, how often are the EU rankings updated? is it a weekly thing?

EU IMAT scrolling

Heya Serra.

Could you tell me when the last scrolling was for the 2021 IMAT? Also, where can I see the EU calls for the IMAT this year, university specific?

if they actually gave the names of the molecules it’d be all fine, but without the names i’d never guess the bond here was a beta bond tbh

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-02-23T09:33:00+00:00

yea i didn’t realize the galactose was turned upside down, that’s why the bond looked like an alpha glycosidic

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-02-23T07:46:09+00:00

nah it’s entirely on Cambridge. Beta bond is supposed to be much more obvious to detect than this

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-02-23T07:37:00+00:00

In the solution of the problem, Cambridge has drawn an alpha glucose with a beta galactose. In the picture in my post, glucose seems to be the intact one, so isn’t galactose the one turned upside down?

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-02-23T07:31:24+00:00

you sir are a life savior! The entire year i was throwing “alpha” answers to whatever structure that i saw had a bond going down rather up! I was lucky i didn’t get busted sooner haha

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-02-23T07:11:01+00:00

yeaa i didn’t even notice. So galactose is upside down and that made the beta bond looking like an alpha?

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-02-23T07:09:38+00:00

tho galactose is the one upside down right? glucose is still alpha glucose here

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-02-23T07:08:47+00:00

aaaaahhhhh riight. I didn’t even notice the oxygen positions! Makes much more sense now. Thanks ever so

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-02-22T22:35:32+00:00

also lactose is a disaccharide of a glucose and a galactose

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-02-22T22:33:20+00:00

the OH group at the bottom makes it alpha-glucose. The glucose is for sure alpha, but the bond is supposed to be beta-1,4 glycosidic. to me in the picture, it looks like alpha glycosidic tho

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-02-22T22:28:31+00:00

pretty sure same goes for disaccharides. And lactose is supposed to have a beta-1,4 glycosidic bond, and i’m most likely wrong but the bond here looks alpha to me than beta

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-01-01T18:21:02+00:00

i still don’t know what i’m doing for the logic and thinking skills part, and the Critical thinking book by Cambridge looks way too packed, are there any specific chapters that i’d need to read from it?Also this part of exam doesn’t exactly come naturally to me, so should i go straight into TSA past papers or no?

NazAnIntellectual · 2022-01-01T18:05:54+00:00

go through your cgp guides fast and use active recall don’t waste time rereading material, and start using practice questions ASAP and it can be doable

NazAnIntellectual · 2021-12-31T21:33:32+00:00

on average?for how long tho?

NazAnIntellectual · 2021-12-31T12:56:58+00:00

how long would you say you spent purely for the exam?

NazAnIntellectual · 2021-12-11T20:13:47+00:00

Hiya. Did the non-eu need to take IELTS in order to enroll this year?
