how are you guys studying for the exam??

i don't know where to start, the amount you have to memorise is overwhelming

I started studying earlier, i can't cram.

Sample exam, tutorials, topic tutorials, lectures...

How do you know how detailed you have to learn it??

i mean you could learn like every single terminology featured in the lecture notes but that'd be outrageous!

I don't know i mean if you look at the sample exam, it's not that bad at all. Look at what has come up in tutorials, ilts etc. I am pretty sure that some of the plant guys stuff wont be on there because a lot of the time he didn't finish the lecture notes. At the end of the day it would be much worse to have real short answer questions, but we get fill in the blank questions and multiple choice, and there's that tutorial on section D tomorrow.

I don't know if this is the right way to think but.. I dont think everything should be in complete detail. If you have a strong general idea of everything I think it should work pretty well. After all, we have multiple choice, fill in the blanks, diagrams and 2 essays, 1 of which is data analysis. So, doesn't seem to require a strong in depth knowledge of all topics.

Thanks! I've gained some confidence, seeing that we don't have to study in that much detail :P

Hate that first year subjects are so broad and general :( can't wait for second year....

If you look at the announcements - they've changed it this year. We only have 2 rather than previously which had like 4 if I'm right. They just provided us with that many questions for revision

Mark Elgar CBF with it, left after like 10 minutes of QnA.

Rick Wetherbee seems obsessed with the fact that there are no "trick questions" in his part of the exam. Fun hearing his voice break :P

Does anyone else think that because Rick's questions where cut short, that there is a higher probability that one of the essay questions might be his?

nope, i think the essay questions are going to come from the last section on animal behavior and probably either from the botany section and reproduction part. Because the practice one was on rick's about endosymbiosis i don't think they'll put his section on the exam, which is disappointing because his section was the easiest
