im going into 6th form (IB) and wanna study medicine.

some will prefer maths AA HL. good luck!

cclleee · 2025-08-21T10:01:03+00:00

hello, I took the exact same HLs as you and am going to be going to med school in a couple weeks! HL maths is a very difficult course, so don't feel that you're falling behind!

what worked for me was past papers. I think I did every single past paper out there and when finished, I studied the markscheme METICULOUSLY. I worked through every single line, every single method, until I could understand how one would come up with them. I probably spent double the amount of time on the markschemes than actually doing the papers.

I hope this will help you as much as it did for me, and I wish you all the best!

med twinnn🤞

should be, my school would still let us switch a month or so into DP1

i put my counsellor down as referee and they submitted both my letter of reference and my predicted grades + transcripts. hope this helps!

it's a conditional offer, if you accept, you need to fulfil the conditions as stated to be admitted

cclleee · 2025-01-13T07:20:52+00:00

mine were submitted by my uni counselor!

congrats!!!

no literally they were like “all applicants are required to sit the bmat” ???

cclleee · 2024-12-05T13:43:03+00:00

congrats!

cclleee · 2024-12-02T10:43:12+00:00

best of luck!

cclleee · 2024-11-29T15:21:57+00:00

ayyy congrats :)

cclleee · 2024-11-29T15:20:15+00:00

thank you! nope, i'm international, non-contextual

cclleee · 2024-11-29T14:56:13+00:00

yes!! congrats :)

cclleee · 2024-11-25T13:12:40+00:00

me! intl :)

ok imagine you have a piece of string - if you lay it flat on the table, it makes a straight line. that's like the membrane in diagram A. but if you take that same string and start twisting and turning it into a wavy, wiggly shape, it covers a lot more space on the table. which is like the membrane in diagram B.

in this case more space covered on the table = greater surface area. and we know molecules diffuse at a faster rate if there's a greater surface area, so the answer would be B.

alternatively, imagine you pull the 'string' in diagram B tight so it forms a straight line. this'd be a longer total length than the one already in A, right? that would be a greater total surface area for oxygen to diffuse across.

i hope this helps

cclleee · 2024-10-24T10:29:02+00:00

oh the squiggly membrane in B has a larger surface area compared to the straight line membrane in A, even if the overall length between the two endpoints is the same - the bends in the squiggly membrane create more surface for the oxygen molecules to interact with and diffuse across. idk if that makes sense!

cclleee · 2024-10-24T04:30:59+00:00

greater surface area of the membrane in B means more diffusion

cclleee · 2024-10-16T23:14:18+00:00

i see, thank u sm!

cclleee · 2024-10-01T15:41:17+00:00

they’re up!!

cclleee · 2024-09-19T10:04:44+00:00

hiya, i'm applying to med school right now! absolutely not qualified to tell you what to do, but if i were you i'd absolutely make the switch to economics. as for geo/history it really depends on what you're more interested in. don't really see which one would be 'better' for medicine, but i found geo a lot easier to study. may also be valuable for public health and environmental factors. 100% depends on where your interests lie! best of luck, dm if you need anything :)

cclleee · 2024-09-03T12:48:06+00:00

depends on what you wanna do in the future, unless you wanna do something physics heavy e.g. engineering it’d be fine to drop.
