Just wondering how long are your notes?? I'm currently doing notes on the Skin and its 7 pages long and I haven't even finished it.

(Though I aim to wake up early tomorrow and do quite a bit... but I'm only going to study anatomy this holiday).
Seven pages on the skin seems a bit too long.
I'm only using the lecture notes to make notes.
Don't worry, he did say that the marieb textbook goes into more detail than we need so there's bound to be plenty of stuff in there that we haven't covered.

Urg, I haven't been making many notes because I ended up getting distracted by other things during the holidays, which I'm really going to regret.

. I keep saying im gonna do a big revision session but it never happens, only like an hour or 2 at a time 
I wanted to use my lecture notes but its long looking for them, instead i've been using anatomy and physiology for dummies and biochemistry for dummies. Really helps as I didnt do A levels
Btw are the exams written by the lecturer so that means they only test us on things weve already been taught in the first semester?

How are you revising anatomy?? I haven't got a clue about how to revise it. Lucky all my exams are in May/June.

The exams are written by the lecturers so I think its better to use your lecture notes as they will be heavily based around them.

Mmm maybe I should just do it that way... Well i'm using that anatomy/ physiology book for dummies, got little revision cards and just copying it out... it really doesnt seem to be working, especially with biochem, hopefully I just remember stuff next week lol... I'd love someone to just study with or revise with over xmas lol.

Sorry, we haven't even learnt the physiology module... And I personally haven't learnt anything on the human cell module yet.
(I don't have January exams).

Alot of first years in this thread, so I thought I'd provide some info from my first year:
Modules:
Human anatomy and physiology,
Biochemistry,
Microbiology and Immunology,
Cell biology and genetics,
Key skills for BMS,
Professional Studies.
i had exams in all modules except key skills and pro studies.
When revising, I just learn the lecture notes and past papers - didn't use any other materials, and got firsts in all my modules.
I guess it depends on how good your lecture notes are - and how lazy they are - by using questions from old papers!!!
when I revise I do about 8 hours a day, in 50min sections and 10min break for each 50min. Sounds like a long day - but that small break keeps me awake and alert enough to keep going!!
Im dreading my exams this year, we have had minimal lecture notes - I have alot of reading to do when I finish all these prac write ups!!!!
If anyone needs any help, feel free to PM me

Hi to everyone here!!
i want some honest advice from all you wonderful people
Im on an access course expected high grades (Level 3 Units)
and i have applied for biomedical science in the following univerSitys on the 16/12/10
was i late? my ucas has been
processed and i have recieve tWo acknowledgment letters from hert (30.12.10) and roehamton(4.1.11) UNIS..

1) hertfordshire
2) London Met
3) Kingston
4) Middlesex
6) Roehampton
(all registered with IBMS) for more benifits of employment post grad
thou i chosen biomedical science for an entry into medicine in the first place
it is just a nice feeeling having IBMS as my insaurance should i need to UTILIZE my bachelor degree
i dont know where i will be in 3 years..will i be able to apply for med? atleaset i am guaranted a job after 3yrs...(its my backup)

Hi, could you post some past papers on her please? Thanks

But remember that papers are written by the lecturers - so they are university specific.
And I guess the material between accredited (by IBMS) and non-accredited courses may also differ
