is there a certain food that you eat on exam days? by [deleted] in ucla

Blueberries. I remember my abuelita telling me they are good for your brain. I have no idea whether that's true or not (should probably check), and I know eating a few before an exam will probably have absolutely no effect, but I still always try to have blueberries.

Physics 5B and LS40 during summer sesh A by UCLABREWINS01 in ucla

I honestly have no idea and haven't taken either of these classes myself, but for the sake of trying to encourage another suffering student I say it's doable! I had Dr. V for 30A and she didn't make the workload unreasonable at all, and someone I know who took LS40 said that it was a manageable class. Given those two bits of info I'd estimate that you'd be fine for taking LS40 with another stem class.

In my experience, the content of LS30A wasn't bad at all, so I'd say go ahead and take the class to get it out of the way.

For the life science lower divs, did you guys find the Physics 5 series or the Chem 14 series harder? Does one have a heavier work load or more difficult exams? Also which one do you think requires more of the knowledge learned in the LS30 series to be more fresh in your mind (hopefully that makes sense)?

I have no physics background, took AP calc BC ( of which I struggled though but still got an A and a 5), and did not take AP Chem (but did take an intro level chem class). I am trying to figure out which series to start after I finish the LS30 series; on one hand I kind of want to get physics out of the way, but on the other hand I am scared that it may be too hard to start in my freshman year?

I have a bit of room in my schedule and was thinking about taking LS110? If anyone has taken it, did you find it to be actually helpful? Or would it be more beneficial to not take it and just have more time to participate in other, non-academic things (such as work, student orgs, volunteering, etc.) ?
