concepts in bio = "first year biology" ? (1 Viewer)

[garry007]

in terms of gamsat (which needs first year bio)....is concepts in biology in first semester sufficient or should i do a follow up in second semester like human biology (ive chosen molecular biology and genetics...not sure if that'll help?)

r u serz?!?! i heard gamsat tests 1st yr chem and hsc phys?!?!

 

[garry007]

ACER: "[GAMSAT]generally corresponds to the first year of university studies in biology and chemistry, and Year 12 in physics"

Chemsitry: 40%, Biology: 40%, Physics:20%

so can anyone help me out with my bio dilemma?

 

[Skeeta]

do the bridging course

 

[Skeeta]

ok it doesnt look like they have one

 

[garry007]

im not realli interested in bridging course..im jus asking about first year bio

interesting... im thinking of doing gamsat and stuff after my degree which is a whole 5 years away, but still.. i hadnt even looked and didnt realise we need to do uni level stuff
i dont wanna do chemistry though bahhhh its not fair. that means ill have to sacrifice some of my fun classes and do chem
im doing bio though.. those 2 first courses someone else was talking bout

my friend who is really determined to be a surgeon is study on her own all the time. whatever they said about just first year uni science, do more. you can never be too prepared.

what do you mean by "fun classes"?

 

[garry007]

classes that she would LIKE doing or have fun doing??? dunno lol

 

[garry007]

btw, would someone be kind enough to answer my question ??

 

[s_anne72]

at enrolments...
i talked to the biology person that was there...
n i asked bout the requirements for the gamsat...
she said that either MBLG1001 or biology in 2nd semester would give u sufficient knowledge for "1st year biology"...

she mentioned that the only difference is that biology such as human biology (BIOL1003) is more about the "physical" side of things... whereas MBLG1001 is more on the "molecular" side...
LOL i dunno... does that help?

but on the whole... u'd be fine if u do either...

i chose MBLG1001 too

>>also... its weird... gamsat booklet states that u only need yr 12 mathematics

 

[garry007]

ye that does help..thanks...but yeah..i dun think theres too much maths involved..like u dont even have to take a caculator i think

 

[tuma]

What about 'ecosysrem to genes'? would that be a good unit to study in prep for gamsat or should i do the 'concepts of bio'?

 

[aquaa123qwe]

you will hate bio

 

[lukebennett]

ive done some reading of the textbook. it looks good. more like chem and i lean more that way.
