    Accommodation question - shared bathrooms vs ensuite

    Just a question for anyone at UNSW right now who doesn't have a private ensuite, what is it like using the shared bathrooms? Are they clean and semi-private or is it just like a school change-room or something? I really don't know, and I'm debating whether to apply for a room with a private...

    Section 2 percentiles fluctuating on MedEntry - what does this mean?

    I've done 9 practice exams on MedEntry and my percentiles for section two are ranging from 15 to 91. However, lately my section two percentiles have been dropping, the last four exams I got 24, 38, 24 and 15. What does this mean for the actual UMAT? Am I doomed or is this something common and...

    What ATAR/UMAT should I aim for to be competitive for medicine in 2018?

    Each uni has different requirements eg. 90 vs 96 ATAR for Monash and UNSW, some of the requirements don't even mean anything e.g. 150 for UMAT won't get you an interview at UNSW even though it is a minimum requirement. I know it varies for each university, but in general, what is a reasonable...

    How close are Medentry practice exams to the actual UMAT?

    I know this question has been asked many times, but no one has asked for a few years and I want to see if things have changed. So, if you did UMAT in 2015 or 2016 was it similar to the medentry course? How was each section in terms of similarity and difficulty? Thanks!

    Complex numbers question

    Calculate the first six terms of zn=(zn-1)3-0.4i for a. z1=0.8 b. z1=1 I'm not sure what the 'trick' to this question is. It's simple enough to find z2, but I'm confused how to continue after that without having to manually calculate each term.

    Locus question

    arg(z-i)-arg(z+i)>pi/4 I know how to sketch the locus if they're using an equals sign, but what happens when there's an inequality?

    MedEntry workshop trial exam - disappointed with percentiles

    What's the best way to use Medentry to improve your scores?

    I'm not seeing much improvement in my scores, so I'm wondering what the best way to use Medentry is. What's the best way to improve each section score with Medentry (e.g. Eureka, drills, guides, etc)?

    Am I intelligent enough to be a medical student?

    I'd like to know if I have a chance at undergraduate or postgraduate, so I'm asking here. I am a mostly A student, but a B student in English. I'm in the top classes for English, Maths and Science, and in those classes, I'm around average. My school is ranked in the 70s for HSC. Do I have a...
