Where is everyone at..

[ariawuu]

Whilst usually against necromancy, this thread is still warm and its a quick question so I don't want to make a thread for it.

How are you guys balancing midyear subjects (chem, psych for me) with your other subject study? Are you doing m/y first and then rest or what?

Mm i'll be trying my hardest in Chem for the First semester as i generally dont like it (well 3/4 could be better than 1/2) and then second semester I'll be focusing primarily on English and Specialist (because it will make studying Methods easier). I'll be revising PE throughout the whole year so i dont really have to study hardcore around end of year's.
I just hope I get about a 35 RAW in Chem - probably will take 5th.

Well there is nothing wrong with feeling equal, however if you want to maximise your score, you are going to be a lot better off going for 4x 45's and 2x 35's than 6x 40's.

How do you know you have Psych in your Top 4? Anything can happen, and it may come down to you hoping that you will be able to have a strong Top 4 if you do happen to stuff up on exams etc

As far as MBBS, I don't think Chem being in your Top 4 is going to drastically improve your chances if anything at all, the set goal of 35 (It is 35 yeah?) is just a prerequisite, it's not going to get you an interview if you had a crappy UMAT

Just go with the flow for this year, if you do well in Psych well then good for you, you'll have 2 out of 4 set, and you can decide half way through which subjects are going to have the best potential at getting a decent score!

My post was purely hypothetical but if Psych isn't in there I'll be extremely pissed off to say the least.
Re: chem - Nah I just think it's kind of sad, Chem being the only prerequisite (yeah it's 35) and then end up landing it in my Bottom 2

45 in psych (which will scale down a tad?)

45 and over doesn't scale down in psych (from what I've heard)   So that's a plus. But anything in the 40s range doesn't really move much anyway for psych.

Yes very much so.
I was planning on quitting my job this holidays to make way for study time.. never got around to doing it and now I feel behind and consequently a bit stressed.. (especially after reading about people having finished whole courses already)

there are still 2-3 weeks of holidays. enough time to accomplish something. do all your set hw first, then read english texts. when youve done that the start working ahead for whichever subject you want.

[ariawuu]

i start on 4th Feb.. thank god.. but my homework takes.. about 3 weeks... maybe i should work like 6 hours a day.. but.. i dont want to burn out before i get to school >< UGH

[Greatness]

yeah i start on the 4th of feb as well surely you cant have that much homework. and i wouldnt want to be working/studying for 6 hours a day...

[ariawuu]

i got 3 chapters in specialist to get through.. and probably an addition of my own. Im still on 1A Lawl

[Greatness]

lol. ive completed my spesh hw which was like 1A-C. im just gonna learn spesh as we go in class i think.
but i reckon you should go through methods. even if you just learn the concepts and do a few questions, then you wont have to spend much time on it throughout the year; plus spesh covers some of methods as well
maybe start on chem if you have time.

[Zien]

I've done some Chemistry revision and decided to move onto working on my Japanese General Convo prep. It is seriously one of the most complex and difficult things I've done all holidays. @_@ So many links between questions that need to be considered on top of your content..

[ariawuu]

mm I've done.. nearly all my methods hw, started a bit on eng and read a bit of my context book and reading my text response, an exercise in specialist, ten minutes on PE.. and.. nothing in Chem.. lol WOW.. i feel so accomplished -.-zz

Chem is actually quite difficult to start without being taught. Getting ahead in methods is actually a huge bonus because it's quite a large course and  you see a lot of students falling behind because it has to be taken at a very fast pace. If you use essentials, just compare the methods and spesh textbook... Plus, sort of like what swarley said, methods covers a lot of basics for spesh. It's also extremely beneficial to work on spesh, but it requires sooo much concentration.
Otherwsie... just read English texts.

[Menang]

I need to read my lit texts. :S

I've read/tried/summarised up to chapter 10 for methods, and done some reading (but not nearly enough, imo) for rens.
I had a mini-panic attack a few hours ago about not doing enough work and school hasn't even started yet!
