^there's a book called 'Jumpstart Chemistry', which is available to buy online - i've heard that it is very good to do oversummer to prepare you for 3/4 if you haven't done 1/2. definitely look into it.

Thanks for all the replies so far!

I want to become a dentist or a GP. Which path should I aim for and are there any pathways/fallback plans if I dont make it?

Oh, and could someone please explain what a graduate/undergraduate/bachelor/postgraduate etc. course is? and the differences between them?

To become a GP you can try too complete a BMBS at Deakin or Monash Uni;

http://www.monash.edu.au/study/coursefinder/course/0040/

Or you can do Bachelor of Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne then do a Doctor of Medicine (or Dental Surgery for Dentist) if your grades are good enough during your Bachelor studies.

well do the UMAT next year, and apply for undergrad med and dent in various locations - including a possible interstate. if you dont get in, do an undergad science/biomed course, and do the prereqs for graduate med for melb (2nd year level anatomy, biochemistry & physiology) and again apply for various graduate med/dent courses. if you dont want to do a science-type degree, or dont want to do these prereqs. you can still apply for all unis for med/dent except melb which is the only one atm that requires certain subjects.
