Does anyone have advice for biomedical sciences, if anyone did it at aru that would be really helpful but i want very high scores and i feel like i dont know how to do excel in the assignments and with the exams i know its based on the lectures but i still havent been doing great does anyone have tips on how i can work to fix this and get scores like 80% consistently?

Hey there! I'm Simran, a second year biomedical science student at ARU.
First of all, please understand that scores like 80% (though achievable) at university are very rare and you are still doing amazingly if you are not achiveing this. However here are some tips to help better your grade:

1.

Look at the module guides and rubrics to understand what the lecturers are looking for in terms of critical analysis, referencing, depth of explanation etc.

2.

Instead of just reading lectures, use active recall methods like flashcards, blurting or whatever works for you.

3.

There are some great videos on youtube that are helpful. Some I'd reccommend are Medicosis Perfectionalis, khanacademymedicine.

4.

Use Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect for journal articles. The more high-quality sources you use, the better.

5.

Check the ARU library website for past papers as there are a wide range to help you understand the style of questions for the exam.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions :smile:

No worries! Yes of course: upon going to the ARU library website, go to the search bar and type in your module code or title, it should then come up with the resources available for that module. Hope that helps :smile:
