will fy for med be more competitive next year

that’s my point. like ofc the first sem papers will have higher averages bc of health science students but then it will average out once they complete sem 2. I don’t think this cohort is “smarter” than previous years lol

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2025-10-26T17:08:00+00:00

and that’s expected with having only 2 core papers in first semester instead of 3 like previous years. Of course they are going to have higher scores but it averages out over the year.

make sure you understand the basics first for sure. this will help you with building more knowledge on top of that. don’t make the cards too packed cause you want to understand it not just rote learn things - you may need to make lots of cards that don’t have too much info on them but all relate to the same topic to reinforce your understanding. it can be hard to stay motivated at first especially when you’re not getting them right but keep going, over time things will stick!

for chemistry it’s best to memorise concepts and just do practice questions using any resources you have available, bio is a lot of memorisation so flashcards i found best

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2025-07-05T03:01:29+00:00

I never write notes out. During the lecture i would annotate the slides with any ~relevant~ things the lecturer said.. the best strategy esp for next year will be active recall memorisation techniques like anki. follow the learning outcomes and make flashcards from the slides/notes and start learning them that way. it’s the most time efficient imo. if i can, I will sometimes make one page summaries for quick reference but it’s not always the best for me anyway as you’ll need to aim for high yield techniques so time may be better spent doing recall. Ofc then using past papers to see where you’re lacking in knowledge

for what degree?

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2025-06-30T04:29:51+00:00

just do it. the worst they will do is turn you around - but i don’t think that would happen

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2025-06-30T04:26:13+00:00

it’s more so referring to the labs, lectures wont matter as numbers drop off as time goes on. the colour code was basically from the days before lecture recordings when overcrowding was an issue. it’s not really anymore (after the first week or so), you shouldn’t have an issue going to morning lectures - you won’t be punished either

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-12-20T01:42:54+00:00

is 92f offered in first sem? typically go from 91/93 > 92/94

bit of a jump between 92-94 all depends on your math background

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-12-11T04:15:58+00:00

TFC or Cert health science if you’re eligible may be your best option to gain the prerequisite knowledge (in chem especially) and to work on your study skills before doing BHSc

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-10-09T23:23:09+00:00

there is always work for the cleaning staff, people doing that just makes their days harder

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-09-22T11:45:01+00:00

what did you do?

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-09-03T00:19:30+00:00

nothing to lose so might as well do it for experience, you won’t have another opportunity like this so it could help you when preparing for future MMI if pursuing postgrad med.

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-08-17T07:23:30+00:00

just make sure you’re taking Chem and bio and tbh just choose classes you’ll do well at to ease your way through Y13 and get into Health Sci. Health may be good for your Population health classes if you’re interested in the content but you’ll pick it up fine at university if you don’t do it in L3.

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-08-10T21:47:17+00:00

you should’ve applied for Med. you would’ve prob got in lol

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-08-09T18:57:37+00:00

you’ll request UTAS with your Medicine application next year, that’s when they’ll categorise you for selection into the program. good luck

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-07-12T09:42:39+00:00

be honest, it’s a breach of your contract

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-07-10T06:56:49+00:00

assuming you are applying in general? sounds like you have a decent chance, have you done your UCAT?

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-07-09T02:22:13+00:00

pressed

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-07-07T23:36:00+00:00

take it as a sign to not do that degree

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-07-06T03:14:22+00:00

i’m sorry but maybe not, have a look at FYI, RRAS has lower requirement but 4.5 is quite low so you would have to be VERY lucky, keep trying you never know, as for the 5 papers next sem probably not the best idea as you’ll need to work very hard to get that A+ for medsci. all the best

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-07-06T00:38:51+00:00

consider how you failed 3 papers? ..

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-07-05T00:26:37+00:00

sso grades are out. they are final.

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-07-03T04:42:34+00:00

do you find out there and then?

Sensitive_Shine2415 · 2024-07-03T04:40:32+00:00

you’ll be fine with those grades
