I started off in higher chem but was scared off by the fact that they started with quantum mechanics, which I ended up having to do and found extremely easy in 2nd semester fundamental chemistry. I got 88 in HSC chemistry, the big difference is uni chemistry = all calculations, formulas, rules...

EXACTLY what I was trying to imply.

I don't think thats true, most of us remaining after first year are keen to see med sci out; I don't have any intention on doing MBBS, the only thing I'd consider post grad would be pharamacy, and this would only be the case if I found research to really not be my thing. The increasing UAI...

Almost any Bsc Science, Bsc med science, Biotechnology etc.... From what I understand the GAMSAT = yr 12 physics + 1st year uni chemistry + 1st year uni biology.

Yes, one day I'm hoping to line up for the busses in the morning without thinking I'm being deported to some foreign country :D Have fun first years! As others have said try to quickly realise that what school you went to and what UAI you got mean absolutely nothing. Just chill, do your...

I remember doing a Little bit of histology in BIOS1011, I really suck at drawing which in turn made the prac test interesting lol. I seriously thought about and looked into doing something other than histology like biotech or organic chem but when I talked to some people at the med department...

Hey sup Will :D Ok thats interesting to know with the physiology labs. I've managed to squeeze everything in on my timetable now, still with thursdays off and a 1 hour gap breaking up my wednesday so won't have to skip any lectures; well to start off with anyway :P Only thing I'm really...

I did Math1031 in s1 having done 2 unit in HSC, the 1st half of the course concentrates on matrix algebra whilst the second half of the course focuses on calculus. If you've only done general maths I'd definatly suggest some tutoring atleast on 2 unit calculus between now and commencing the...

Yeah I've enjoyed 1st year med sci at UNSW, you get to do Anatomy for med science in 2nd semester which was a lot of fun. Unlike Sydney uni your not forced to do physics which was a real plus for me, you only have to do math statistics in 2nd semester which isn't really even maths lol. In 1st...

I can send you my typed summaries for 1 year chem and bio: Email flea2012@hotmail.com

Under course description for physiology 1A it quotes 6 hours a week. But when I look at the classes offered their is a 3 hour lab, a 1 hour tutorial and a group of three 1 hour lectures which must be chosen. This makes 7 contact hours?!? Edit (also): Are microbiology lectures good? Or are...

Well I managed to pull a 75, just scraping a D in this sleep fest subject. Hooray!!

hey im a newby in these forums just finished yr 11 and am unoficially in yr 12 i've been going over the guidlines for ext2 written proposals i have all my imformation and what i want to write but i am not sure how to stucture one or structure it so that i can get the best possible marks...

Update: So they just handed out in the last lab 50 practice multiple choice questions from past papers. I've now gone through and done them, but I would say probably..... 40/50 I could only eliminate 2 of the 5 choices even after reading my summaries and occasionally I could eliminate another...

I've got a tute test on monday, and going over the practice papers I've gotten stuck on this question where it's asking you to calculate variance. But its only given you the variables and their respective probabilities, it has not given you the number of observations. How do you calculate...

Yeah, I got 91 in HSC biology but what I learnt then really isn't helping much in this course. Well I suppose the xylem and phloem transport I already knew a bit about, but thats it really...

Arghh.... We've started plant biology lectures, I can walk into them feeling fine and awake but after just 20 minutes I get soooo sleepy. The guy above who said start hammering into the textbook couldn't be closer to the truth.

Ok thanks for the advice, um just another quick question: What do the pre lab test mainly involve? and what format are they, like 5-10 multi choice?

Is it just me or are the lectures completely different to the tutorials which are completely different to the labs?!? The only correlation between all three of them I've been able to find is through the text book readings. Thus I'm thinking of basing most of my study for this course through...

I'm 1st year med sci, doubt its been cancelled. Maybe you're looking at the old course, it got revamped this year :D
