Monash University Interview
xox.happy1.xox:
Yes, how did your interview go? :P (Probably aced it. :))
Red_x_Lily:
So in preparation for Monash interview...I had a few questions to ask, and didn't see the point in opening a new thread. I hope this is ok.
I am especially worried about de-tech (I barely remember anything from chem last year... revising would be best?)
I heard that when you are given the term, you are also given a graph or picture to remind you of what it means - can anyone confirm that? Also, can any students who did the interview/know others who did it share what their de-tech terms were? I'd like to get as much practice as possible, and I'm sure it'll be useful to others too.
Any other "major" tasks in the interview?
Thank you. :)

Yes, revising a little would probably be a good idea. I personally got 'electrolysis' for my de-tech term, and I'm pretty sure you'd want to revise if you got something similar. From what I've heard, it's a really common one to come up. And yeh, I did get a diagram of a electrolytic cell, but it's not really enough to help you recall enough to explain it all; you really should revise. For other major tasks, there might have been one testing your decision making skills, which is really just about elaborating on how your process of decision making; not your actual answer itself. I can't recall whether Monash had this too, or whether I'm confusing it with my UAd interview which had this. Another major task which I definitely had was one where they read a passage, and I had to remember as much as possible and answer questions to follow, which basically tested my verbal comprehension and ability to retain information (which is extremely important in Med). But apart from that, I think the rest were just the standard questions.
If you need help, hop over to www.medstudentsonline.com.au first, and www.pagingdr.proboards.com/index.cgi afterwards. There's a list of de-tech words on MSO, and with enough browsing, you'll find a lot of previous interview questions and tips etc. Good luck!

^Hey shinny, just wondering, how did you explain the term 'electrolysis' in the de-tech task?
wow, i checked this just after you posted it hah.

I had an analogy prepared about rocks (electrons) rolling down a hill from the anode at the top of the hill to the cathode, with the energy from electricity being the thing pushing it or something along those lines.
