hahaha, you shall never know, sladehk

There's really nothing you can do to prepare, except have a clear head and listen to the question carefully.

I know Bossley High gets it :)

hahaha, finally! Now I know it's you Ron - the computer game reference gave it away, you were playing it for ages yesterday!

Haha, UMAT in 2006 + UWS application = a match made in heaven. Love my course - and you can apply for it even after you've done a degree, because it's an undergraduate course, you don't have to sit GAMSAT. Got to use my UAI, and none of my uni marks, thank God. And I'm really not going back...

Nah, it was like this when I resat the UMAT in 2006 - I knew if I did worse that year, I was kinda in trouble, because they would take that score instead of 2005's... but I took the risk, and it paid off. I found it much easier the second time around anyway.

In my experience, about 18 months..but then I agree with ur_inner_child on the definition. It's not 'getting sick of' to me, it's more of a settling in to a new level, not necessarily worse than the butterflies period.

Haha, coz that year was hell - it felt really irrelevant and nitpicky. Most people don't choose med science because they love maths - gosh, so much maths....

I did first year med sci at USYD - hated it - its maths, biology, physics and chemistry for a year! And let's not forget the molecular biology. Friends continuing say it's 'alright', but they're not sure where it's going a lot of the time. If I had to start again (and wasn't doing medicine)...

what was their name?

mmm, some practice questions would be awesome

Haha, well, I'm having a ball at UWS? And it's only 5 years. Awesomeness. I took that timeframe into account, because with all the training later on, a few years less while you're at uni could make a difference.

Heyy..! My mum's a teacher and my dad makes rubber for a living. I think I'm kinda serious about it, but I'm also enjoying the social side. You should probably get some more sleep if you're tired all the time, and active note-taking in lectures helps you not to fall asleep (haha, that's how I...
