Comments on: Health Science First Year through brown eyes I. http://www.veinasian.com/otago-medical-school-blog/health-science-first-year-through-brown-eyes-i/ An Asian trio sneak inside Otago Medical School Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:47:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Pharaoh http://www.veinasian.com/otago-medical-school-blog/health-science-first-year-through-brown-eyes-i/comment-page-1/#comment-718 Pharaoh Mon, 12 Jul 2010 05:32:15 +0000 http://www.veinasian.com/?p=76#comment-718 Hi Dr Month, I am a year 13 student, hoping to get into health science first year, to be able to go to med (hopefully). In terms of my academic grades they can be pretty close to a full mark, but I found myself struggling with Umat, I can understand English perfectly though. Time is my only obstacle to achieving umat with a high enough score. I am just wondering if there is a pathway to get into med avoiding the umat test, like a minimum academic score ? Cheers Hi Dr Month,

I'm from Taiwan... in year 13 at the moment and planning on giving HSFY a go next year in 2011. Is it helpful to sit the UMAT in year 13? Just to get a feel of what it is? And if I sit it in year 13, I'm allowed to sit it next year again right? I'm really scared about going to med school, to be honest. It's what I want to do but the fear of failure is making me nervous! I even switched from English to Physics this year so that I got all my sciences covered. And while I'm hopelessly failing Physics at the moment because I've never done it before, I hope it's worth it next year! Thanks. :) Hello!

No background in physics / chemistry (long story). Don't think I'm going to be able to make the 'bridging' summer school classes but really do need something of a head start in order to have the chance to keep up. Any chance of some notes for any or all of the three physics / chem classes? I'd be STOKED if there was :-) Hey,

I know you can for the finals ones, but the content is different for the two. If I cant get them, any advice on preparation for it? Dear Dr Month (and fellow bloggers)

Im sort of stuggling to understand how much detail i need to know for all the subjects, especially cels191. there can be a ridiculous amount of detail but i want to be smart about it. Learn just more than enough but also to not waste time learning too much. Any advise Dr Month? Hey
