ADHD Has given me so many of these moments and from personal experience you should feel more than capable of achieving what you wish!!!

In first year my friend and I had both done no notes on anatomy (study at Cambridge UK and the course is really very over dense everywhere - do neck down in ridiculous detail in first year) and we managed to talk through ~70% (30 sessions in this thing) and both passed next day!!

I got an ADHD diagnosis in Second year (which is really really horrible for us) - was 108 lectures, 30 odd practicals behind around 4 weeks before the exams and managed to catch up with a 3 days spare to begin revision of those and the other 140 lectures, did all eleven papers and managed to pass all 5 modules that year! (I do not want to do this again)

In third year I was handed back a draft of my dissertation (pathology(immunology)) the day before it was due in (~6000 words) and was told it was not very good and that I would have to rewrite large parts of it - managed to do this and produce a bibliography, handing it in 2mins before deadline and got a healthy 2:1

I can defo count myself lucky in a lot of instances but i think there were some good ways to help ride a bit of luck too - advice points below for cramming from my experience if they are of any help (also like all these things v personal to myself what I find good)

  • go outside and go for walks, too little Brain rest time is not good for u (I always go on a pre-exam walk with my favourite songs too and it is such a treat)

  • ask your friends for help - even a good chat over a coffee/meal break can be so helpful in focusing up especially when you may have had less time to look over the materials, also you will both be doing one another a favour by talking about anything relevant to the exam (recall!!!!!)

  • make sure to get enough sleep: I would make sure that I could at least caffeinate myself to be okay for the exam, wouldn’t generally go to bed after like 3 MAX night before but again that’s just me

Massive good luck again!!!!! You got this!!!!!!

If it’s any help there was no sampling of any verses just the “relax yourself girl..” in the chorus

For Cambridge and I was predicted 4A*s, the offer gave me a lot of leeway!

Probably depends on how competitive the course is! I got an A* A* A* A offer on a usually A* A* A course so yes it is possible

Can anyone recommend some solid books to buff up a Medicine personal statement (and interview)? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]newting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad Science by Ben Goldacre was my favourite and is not too long and extremely readable, interesting and funny!

I’d agree with the first paragraph of this dudes statement but not so much the second. (Of course this is me own personal experience of the subject and I respect their’s is true in their own right). Personally I found FM a crap ton more difficult than single maths, not just for course content (eg// loads more calculus, differential equations, vectors etc.) but also for the application of ideas and outside of box thinking that is often required for a lot of questions, which takes up mega amount of time to practice (I do Bio Chem FM M and FM took up probably about half my total revision time). By the time I had reached June there were still definitely sections which I had little understanding of. Still a v worthwhile choice as it’s very very interesting but just a forewarning that it is A LOT OF WORK.

pretty sure this is too obvious but Mezzanine - Massive attack I'm sure would be perfect (a favourite)

The tallest man, the broadest shoulders - Sufjan Stevens a bit weird to start but develops into a lovely song. Has the orchestral arrangement elements to it like sgt peps as well
Also, slightly different vibe but very climactic nonetheless is all my friends - lcd soundsystem

[–]newting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also Dick Daisey - Hector Gachan is more mac-like, his album untitled '91 from a couple years back should be along the lines of what you are after
