Those UMS's are ridicilous. Congratulations. I'm assuming those UMS pulled you thruugh the application process.

What college did you apply for?

Tbh I was expecting higher in S1 but oh well. The other 5 were predicted perfectly hehe.
Applied to Fitzwilliam. I guess so but for maths they don't care as much for ums as they do in other subjects.

If you've done the trip from C3 try some of the AEA trig questions I quite like them tbh

Do you enjoy Biomed then? Do you think you'll want to go onto being a band 5 BMS if they offer you a job? Would you stay in haematology or would you develop in another area?

Hey, did you ever consider Biochem over Biomed? And if you did, why did you choose Biomed in the end? Sorry if this is a silly question

I never really considered BioChem before my BioMed degree, mainly because before my degree I was really interested in microbiology; so I thought that I could see a bit of all specialisms before I made my mind up - in 2nd year BioMed we have had medical biochem, clinical genetics, haem and transfusion science + human physiology lab work/trial work - After doing the medical biochem (we have about 9, 3 hour praticals/lab throughout the year in each module) I found it really interesting, So if I knew about it before my degree, I possibly would have picked it!
You get differences in courses in each university - however when a University is IBMS accredited, there isn't much the uni can change so it follows strict guidelines on pratical work etc, but its good as you know its all counting towards an accredited degree which is needed for registration to become a biomedical scientist (although you can 'top up' a non accredited degree, however it can take just as long as your first degree! are you interested in it/doing it currently?

If you use the 4 formulas i gave for sin and cos all aea trig is so easy. If you try graphs and cast diagrams they are horrific.

Looking at a female researcher sucking infected insects into a container, I realise once again biology is not my thing.

I believe that is a pooter how is your placement going?

What are some good online resources for C3? I meant to borrow textbooks from college but I kinda forgot

That is indeed a pooter, thanks Google lol

So far it's been quite boring Tbh lol Got to weigh some chemicals out on a balance (yay) and looked at pooter in action XD

Wow, IB results day today... and we've still got another month or so to wait

Hmm, I seem to remember upper 6th boundaries being higher for entry into BMO2. In fact (just searched it up) it was 43 this year, so as much practice as it takes to be able to do 4-5 questions

Wait, Cayley? Isn't that for year 9?

I'm just trying to keep my mind off it what results are you getting? (subjects etc.)

It might have been Hamilton then or a Kangaroo I can't remember lol - whichever it was, it was the one just below BMO1 :P
