Re: Unsw med 2012
We're rural, so UMAT score was probably lower for us, maybe. She's first in every single subject and got 91 in chemistry from last year.
I didn't get one, but my friend did, so happy for her, she was ranked first in our year and scored 65 on UMAT.
How did everyone else go? and what was your UMAT score and school achievements?
I wrote NaOH because the crystals were an acid, so a titration type reaction happened in the container and turned the crystals blue. So the reaction needed a base.
Was just a wild guess!
Equilibriums, percentage of sulphate in fertilizer, how to get the change in heat that caused the molar heat of combustion, titration calcs, esterfication calcs. Love chem
So I feel like i've cover as much content as i can. But the calculations i've pretty much given up on. I can do the volumes of gas and pH and heat of combustions. Should I be able to pull in over 50% in this?
Should i learn about the lead acid and button cell too? Or will the galvanic and dry cell be enough? Mind you we only learnt about the galvanic in class.. A dry cell question popped up in the trial and we had not even covered it!
Chemistry.. sigh. It feels like it's so easy until you look at past papers and realise it's actually hard. I've kind of stopped doing the questions after MC and do the short answers in my head and then read the answers. That counts right?
Oh DAMN! For the climate question I mentioned the entire environmental dot point. Temperature, climate, guild lines for fluid intake and acclimatization. Will I get over 6 for it? I used relevant example for all of them and tied it back into climate.
Man HSC makes people bitchy.
For sports med, I think they might ask about the environment, only cause I haven't seen it in an exam before. Or return to play policies about rehab (IMPRES is the acronym) cause it's a lot of stuff to talk about.
Our school did it for chemistry for heaps of years, it proved to be effective because the year 11 kids would always, always beat the actual year 12 chem class. Then it started to fail a couple of years ago and the entire cohort for chem (year 11 and 12) were just doing shit. Now my school...
Over 80 raw, in the trial i got 20 and 20 for the cores, 12 for MC, and bummed the options so bad (9 and 11), so over the weekend i'm just trying to memorise the damn options syllabus
Fucking idiots that choose PE and make it scale down unless you get a band 6 in it. FUUU. And I hate it when people think you're dumb cause you do PE, eughh.
What do you think the chemistry exam will be like?
I'm hoping, easy easy questions to do with ethylene in industry, radio active decay and their uses for medicine and industry, water quality testing :D
Acid/base questions I would be happy to get 3 marks on.
Does anyone have a gut feeling...
