Not sure if anyone can really give you a good estimate because MedEntry has also adapted and changed the difficulties of its exams since 5-10 years ago. I had some exams circa 2006 and they were much, much easier than the actual UMAT. There's really not much use trying to estimate your real...

Depends on what you get for section 1 since WSU has no cutoff for section 2 alone. Rather, 1 and 2 are weighted more than 3, so you'd want to aim to maximise 1 and 2, but obviously the higher everything is, the better.

Hey! It's basically impossible to not guess anything, and personally I did guess quite a few of the questions. In 2014, I didn't manage my time well enough and had to blind guess the last 5, which were coincidentally all easy section 2 questions, and this cost me interviews at WSU, Monash and...

It says you're sitting your HSC in 2017, and if this is the case then you've got plenty of time to improve - so don't think of it as a race against the clock and an 'improve or else-' situation. In terms of your split, here's some general advice that I stuck by (tried to at least): S1 - it'd be...

Sounds like Sapling ;) Tired from medcamp, PBL is -.-, lectures have been alright so far. Just gotta keep up the grind and everything should fall into place. Good luck for the coming years! Any more questions feel free to shoot a PM or something :)

As usual it's a wee bit intimidating with all these hurdle assessments/ways to fail etc. I'm sure it'll be fine once everything really starts up though :P

Yeah Mastering Bio is kind of an additional thing to the textbook but it's designed to be used alongside Campbell (still this doesn't mean Campbell is a 100% must get, though, so you could just purchase the access code). As for all this other stuff, just wait for your first lecture for every...

You most likely won't need textbooks apart from the bio ones and the STAT1201 one which is 30 something bucks, and BIOL1020's is online and subject to chopping and changing so PDFs might not help even if they exist, while BIOL1040's textbook I see as more optional, just that it helped me make...

Any prep I did (if any) was done the day before so that wasn't a big deal. I'm the type of person who likes to do everything back to back to back to get everything over and done with, but if you can't handle everything all clumped together then you should put some breaks. I find that a chunk of...

Haha thanks :') I haven't had to take painkillers because I've somehow avoided any post-surgery pain and just got the standard swelling, but it's going down now and things look pretty good for the most part :D

It's ok I'm currently recovering from wisdom removal surgery and it's super boring and I have nothing to do all day zzzz. I don't think you're able to know which lecturer gets which stream which kinda stinks, and another thing is certain courses don't have every stream recorded so if you attend...

Oook this post is a bit loaded so I'll try my best not to miss anything ahaha - PASS differs depending on the course, but in general there'll be some students who got 6 or 7 in the course there to help you. Some PASS classes have in-class worksheets/activities like BIOL1020 (but I did hear from...

I had a go at a few MATH1061 assignment questions without any background info (for obvious reasons :P) and I struggled real hard haha. It's a lot more 'abstract' in that a lot of questions are proofs of seemingly intuitive/logical things, but the proofs aren't that obvious, at least to someone...

Um I got 99 for 3U and 96 (I think?) for 4U but really that doesn't mean you'll get rekt if you're somewhere in the 90s for those. MATH1051's second half is really easy if you've done 3/4U and there's really nothing extraordinarily difficult or anything, most of it is standard. MATH1052's final...

I didn't take SCIE so I guess I'm screwed :P I pretty much replaced SCIE with 1051 and I think I'm still fine haha.
