Newbie in distress!!

They come in two volumes (AS in a week and A2 in a week) and are summaries of the key facts:

Amazon.co.uk: AS In a Week: Biology (AS in a Week): Books
Amazon.co.uk: A2 in a Week Biology (A2 in a Week) (A2 in a Week): Books
Amazon.co.uk: AS In a Week: Chemistry (AS in a Week): Books
Amazon.co.uk: A2 in a Week Chemistry (A2 in a Week) (A2 in a Week): Books
Amazon.co.uk: AS In a Week: Physics (AS in a Week): Books
Amazon.co.uk: A2 in a Week Physics (A2 in a Week) (A2 in a Week): Books

For the same sort of material in more detail the Letts AS & A2 books might be useful (I used those, although chemistry was the only one I got all the way through):

Amazon.co.uk: Biology (Revise AS & A2 (Combined)): Books
Amazon.co.uk: Chemistry (Revise AS & A2 (Combined)): Books
Amazon.co.uk: Physics (Revise AS & A2 (Combined)): Books

Whilst I found that a bit of background helped I don't remember any questions from September that couldn't be answered using the information provided in the question (although I don't think I could have got through the questions so fast without some background knowledge - and GAMSAT is at least as much a test of timing as anything else).

Hmmm I know, actually having to be places more than twice a year will be interesting. Yeah Im pretty much raring to go, already live next to georges so its a case of turning up on the 2nd for me. Although minor concerns about occ health and lack of letter saying see you in sept post degree results but that'll prob be due to some UCAS deadline I hope!
You going for halls?

That's convenient! I'm going for the halls simply due to convenience (and laziness) - although I am probably going to do a bit of looking around this month just to see what other options are out there (I work in Westminster, so a short meander to Waterloo and onto the Northern Line and I can pop down to Tooting of an evening - or over a long lunch!)

The occ health thing is a bit worrying - having completed it months ago and hearing nothing (and I had my degree result 6 years ago!), which is why I'm leaving it until the last possible moment to hand in my notice at work (1st August) - possibly a bit paranoid, but I really don't want to be left unemployed and homeless come 2nd September!

The halls are nice since I was last in them , major refurb but I prefer the house situation now, anyways 1,000,000 hours of PBL will be time enough to meet the year! Well if you're ever in tooting give me a shout.

Hey guys, thanx for all the advice and support really appreciate it, you guys have really helped me calm myself down and it's good to know that there are people out there who have been in the same situation / are in the same situation as you.

Update on me; I received my 2nd year results from uni yesterday - 2.1 (yay!!) and today I registered for GAMSAT and UKCAT (now I'm broke) soo it's official!! Now I just hope it goes well. Is there a code or something from the exams that you have to put on your UCAS application so they can find your results? (That might be a stupid question but I'm quite clueless)

[hodiurnal]

the GAMSAT people sort it out automatically I think, you wait for the unis to release theyre cut off point then if you're above it you get an interview invite sent. Dont think I put my uni results on, they go with you prediction dont they?

[Confuzzled_M.D]

Yeah I think they do go with your prediction, but the only way I could be predicted a 2.1 was if I got a 2.1 in 2nd year, so im relieved. Bring on the GAMSAT revison :|

[hodiurnal]

you've got till the 18th sept to start your revision so relax! ;-)

[Confuzzled_M.D]

hehe 18th of sept u nutter speaking of which, I'm officially bombarding you with questions about St Georges - after you've actually started of course

[hodiurnal]
