Title: Biomed 1st year Bio MST results
Post by: Massofbubbles on April 07, 2011, 06:56:40 pm
So, how'd you guys go?

I got 22/25 on test B.

Pretty happy, even though I thought I got them all correct. Looks like most people got really good scores.

Some other info I've been told about bio that might interest you:

Mary - Ilovetotalkaboutwars - Familari said that Bio is not scaled, so potentially everyone could get a H1. And my bio tutor told me this year they are reducing the number of essay questions to 2 on the biomed exam :D

Bah, back in my day we had half a dozen 10 mark responses.

Yeah, I heard it was 6 last year as well .
I would have got <15 too if I hadn't done VCE bio.
Only subject I'm worried about (maybe even failing) is stats :(

I think there were 7 last year...  Not completely sure though.

Despite feeling like I didn't understand stats for the whole semester, it ended up being my best subject that semester.  Talking to people it seems like this was pretty common.  I had Owen and his exam was very fair.

That's comforting. I feel like I don't get it at all. I've got Ray as a lecturer. He's nice, but I never have a clue what he's on about.
I've been getting 9-10/10 for each quiz, but we get 3 attempts at them, so it doesn't really mean much..

The stats exam is scaled, which is why people do well on it.

X/120 -> X/100

Haha, they've stopped doing that Russ.  Mine was out of 100 anyway.

But Owen did include a few multi-choice questions from the weekly quizzes.  I think understanding the tutorial problems should be your focus.  I'm sure you'll be fine (:

24 on test D. :)
And I heard that there are going to be 4 essay questions, not 2.

The essay questions aren't true essays, relax. They're certainly not particularly intimidating, they give you marks for sentence composition ffs

Don't worry about them reducing the number of long answer questions in first year - they've increased the number dramatically in the double subject in second year :D

The jump is even more pronounced when you get to 3rd year :(
