For those people who have completed some ozimed papers..

What score are you getting on the Science sections?

the last two ozimed papers I did, I got 64-65% on section 3.

What did you guys get?

Thank you

I've done 2 out of the 10 so far and I got around 65-70% as well. I've done the two practice ACER ones as well but I think the Qs on those are more tricky. The ozimed ones are more straight fwd but u have to spend quite a bit of time doing calculations. Did u find this as well?

I havent done any other revision apart from attending the course for written communications at Gradmed. I might read over my old biology text books though just to reinforce and remember some info!

2 WEEKS TO AGO...ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

I think the ozimed questions for science are more sraightforward, but the main reason I get questions wrong is the physics section. I think the acer physics questions are much easier as the formula needed is usually gived to u, in the ozimed papers you have to remember the formula.

I think the ozimed paper is harder due to it testing factual knowledge, whilst the acer papers present you with most of the knowledge needed.

On the other hand the language of the ozimed papers is slightly more simple.

Im hoping that the science section is therefore similar in difficulty.

Have u done the whole ACER practise Test? I'm leaving it until the day before (to scare myself silly I guess). How easy was it to finish all the Qs in the time u have?

my time keeping is good.

i manage to do the science questions in 2 hours 30 minutes. the section I i usually have 10 minutes to spare.

Im thinking of doing the ACER test sometime next week. Therefore if there is anything not in the ozimed papers that comes up, it will give me a week to study around that question.

The day before is going to be my rest day.

Wednesday im gonna do one last ozimed paper, then take the train into birmingham, check out the GAMSAT venue, then go to my mum's place, check the train timetable, and look for local cab companies just in case my mum's car breaks down on the day of the GAMSAT.

tHURSDAY 8th, im going to my cousins house for ythe day to play with my 8 month old nephew- important to give my brain a rest b4 the big day.
