I'm retaking one bio unit
And one or two Chem units (dependant on whether I get an offer from my first choice uni or not)
What about you

ah same!
I got a high A in bio unit 1 so not touching that but got a D in unit 2 so obv retaking
and got a B in chem unit 1 which I guess I'm alright with and a D in unit 2 again which needs retaking :3
Update:
I haven't done much studying- because I've been preparing for my medicine interview which is very soon.
Didn't do much in class today in chemistry I just did an experiment so shouldn't be hard to catch up with
And psychology wasn't much work either apart from research methods.

I had a mock interview today- and was told to make sure I smile and maintain good body language.
I'm going to get my mock exam results soon and will let you all know how I got on.

Medicine interview on the 29/01/2016 done.
Now back to work:
Checklist for today
- Chemistry F325- make notes and understand Acids, Bases and Buffers, Pka, Ka, ph, Ph calculations, Kw (DONE)


-Biology F215: Revise and memorise 3 spreads from textbook- on sliding filament theory, plant auxins (DONE)

- Psychology- Unit 3- Write model answers on Formation, Maintenance and breakdown of relationships - if I have time memorise (INCOMPLETE- only done formation essay not memorised anything- tip: don't underestimate how long it'll take you to write model answers - I gave my self 30 mins for each- that was unrealistic because it's usually 30 mins in an exam when you know and have learnt everything not when you're sitting there thinking how to formulate the perfect answer- took me over an hour for one essay)



Once done- I will come back and update each task with done/incomplete next to each one.

You take the same Psych and Bio exams as me. I'm struggling with Psych, do you know how many points you need to make for things like 4/8/16/24 m?

Hm, For 24 markers I usually write two theories and for each theory I use 2-3 supporting studies which I also evaluate.
And near the end of the essay I include a few elaborated IDA points.
