Anyone else have ideas for using travel time productively?

Don't feel obliged to use it productively at all. As pi said, sleep is nice. Reading is too. Give yourself a break, it'll do you wonders :)

I travel an hour and 40 minutes each way and very rarely use it to actually do anything. Works well for me.

When I bought GAMSAT books, the seller told me that I might not have to actually use the books because UoM takes the top students of the University in Biomedicine and grants them a spot in MD. Now is this true? Thank you

Jumping on the bullshit train. This is definitely not the case.

That said, buying resources for the GAMSAT is scarcely necessary. It really isn't a test you can train yourself for that well, and certainly not by using the typical study-til-you-break methods we're all used to

Wow...And I thought 113 hours was heaps...

Doesn't it get boring after a while? I've just started playing CS, and I have no idea how people put thousands of hours into it.

Attendance is recorded and it's a hurdle requirement that you attend them. I can't remember if there's leeway to miss one or two though. That being said, you should definitely attend them - they are incredibly helpful in helping you understand the content. :)

doesnt matter. if you really hate it you can start going to a different lecture/watch recordings/just use lecture slides and textbook

but for arguments sake i will say this: in the commerce faculty, the least populated lectures are really late in the afternoon ones, followed by 9am. up to you if you wanna wake up at 9am and go to this lecture. If its 2 hours of accounting on a monday morning i would say fk that with a capital f. but dont fret about it too much
