Title: GAMSAT - Do we only need to take 1 unit of 1st year chem/bio or 2 units?
Post by: slothpomba on January 18, 2011, 04:56:16 am

The title pretty much explains it all.

I've been constantly hearing around here that we need 1st year chem/bio, just for clarification, does that mean 2 1st year units of chem/bio or will once suffice?

I'm pretty sure it refers to 2 units but i just thought i'd ask anyway seeing as we're (soon) choosing our subjects.

I did 1 unit of chem, 2 units of bio but most people do 2 of each (my 1 unit was 2 compressed down and with extra bits removed)

It's meant to be the two semesters each of Chem and Bio. But you can around with less if you study the relevant topics yourself..

The only one you absolutely have to do is chem. Bio you can get away with year 12 or 1 semester of uni

Oh ok thanks russ.

First year uni bio at melbourne/monash seems more or less like VCE bio with a couple extras here and there anyway.

THREE POINT TEST CROSSES!!!

Spare a thought for the people (ie me) who did uni bio without VCE bio :(

Oh damn that must of sucked man.

I obtained the text book we'd be using and it seems mostly like VCE bio so hopefully it should be kinda cruisy. (well on the surface anyway)

It's the same as VCE, you just need to know more details of what you study
