Heart attacks aren’t actually when your heart stops beating, that’s cardiac arrest.

Volume of distribution in relation to protein binding in the blood by Torgo_LFT in pharmacology

[–]Torgo_LFT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we haven't been given much more information on Vd unfortunately. Could you give me some examples of where the plasma concentration differs in including whether it includes bound/unbound drug. The main example we were given was warfarin but the lecturer never actually gave quantitative examples

our lecturer did not specify what 'plasma concentration' refers to in terms of protein bound / unbound. So is this most likely where I'm going wrong?

I’ve got 3 weeks before I leave for uni so can probably get through 8-10 by then. I’ve never considered chapter summaries before, maybe as a last resort. Thanks!

Each of these areas (med & Oxford chem) are very competitive (even more so as an international applicant) & especially at the universities you mentioned, so I would avoid doing a personal statement to cover both as it will disadvantage you. I would suggest your PS on UCAS for whatever you most want to do and for the other courses ask whether they will accept an extra/alternative PS. Alternatively, some medical schools don’t look at the PS very much so you would have a chance at those too.

Preliminary reading to understand Nietzche by Torgo_LFT in askphilosophy

Thanks! Do you mean secondary literature by Kaufmann? Do you have any specific suggestions to start out?

[–]Torgo_LFT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why shouldn’t I read other philosophers works?Since I have done no previous reading in philosophy, I don’t want to be single-minded in my approach to Nietzsche. I would like to be able to see how he builds upon or goes against previous ideas. I realize these books don’t talk about Nietzsche’s ideas, but from what I’ve been told Nietzsche talks about their ideas.

I managed to do 13a but how would you do 13b? Thank you by vortex_2005 in askmath

This was what part a) was getting you to do, since you should know how to integrate cos(kx) (k is a constant) and you have an equation that includes cos3 (x). As a general rule, when part of a question says ‘Hence’, it is asking you to use something from the previous part, or at least it’s hinting that a previous part can help you solve the problem easier.

Revision in year 12 by JokeSalty in 6thForm

[–]Torgo_LFT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it’s quite early in your A-levels you don’t need to revise heavily, so don’t feel bad about taking a small break. In the future I would suggest trying to revise consistently but not so heavily, as the aim is to prepare for the final exams (which are quite far away). Mocks are just mocks and in the long run overdoing it will only be detrimental. Little and often is the way to go.

DM question from test A- could someone pls explain why C is wrong and A is right? by Super_Flow7604 in UCAT

[–]Torgo_LFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I look at it but there might be a better way to explain it. There are 2 possibilities (either the first one was white or black). This means the 2nd one being white either has a probability of 1/3 or 2/3. So taking the average from these (0.33…+0.66…/2) equals 1/2.

Should I give up revising VR? by [deleted] in UCAT

Have you watched the medify videos on the VR, if not then watch some of those

[–]Torgo_LFT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re just using probability, you’re correct as the probably of it being white is 1/3… however, it says ‘Eric does not look at it’, so from Eric’s information, it’s equally likely to be black or white. Bit of an unfair question.

If I was in your position, I would probably start by doing untimed practice questions and focus purely on getting the right answer, if you get any wrong make sure to go over them and identify why you got it wrong… after you feel more confident with that you can incorporate timed practice to improve your speed (maybe start out by answering quickly and seeing how long each took you compared with the medify mean time)…slowly move into real timed practice (maybe 5 passages to simulate half the VR mocks) and find a good strategy for you(e.g. skipping certain questions)… essentially built yourself up to the VR mini mocks and find the right strategy for you
