^ ooh, not bad! how come you had already prepared it? or did you go through 100's of chemistry terms as preparation?

Because I heard that electrolysis comes up most years, so I made sure that I knew that one well. 'pH scale' is another that comes up most years, and it definitely did last year. But yeh, I did go through a chem textbook with a friend one night and prepare stuff for most major concepts in Chemistry.

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.

Thank you SO much for that! With the de-tech bit again, are you meant to use the diagram etc to support your explanation? To give a "de-teched" answer, and then explain it in a more accurate/theoretical maybe? I'm getting a bit unsure on how accurate it needs to be too...
I've also got an Adelaide interview, so yeah, good to be aware that I'd have stuff like that too. (Also, any more tasks unique to Adelaide as well? Haha, should probably start another thread for that but...oh well...)

You can use the diagram, and I guess it's in your best interests to. It's more about how well you explain something as opposed to its scientific correctness I guess. I really don't think they care too much if it's a little off. As for Adelaide, they gave quite a few decision making scenarios (3 I think?) but most of it was I guess a really personal interview to get to see how you respond emotionally and so on. They ask a lot about your friends and emotional events that have happened to you etc. Monash is more focused on your leadership skills and stuff like that.
