Biomed 1st year Bio MST results

[Massofbubbles]

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

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

I got 15/25 on the semester 1 midsem from memory

[Massofbubbles]

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

[anti]

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.

[Massofbubbles]

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..

[Russ]

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

X/120 -> X/100

[anti]

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.

[Russ]

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

I failed my FoEN midsem and got a H1 overall. Midsem schmidsem.

EDIT: And sat one a couple of days ago after 5 hours of drinking and a spliff circle. Oops.

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

[Russ]

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

Rustic, whats the greatest amount of standard drinks youve ever consumed in one sitting?
