Feeling super good for bio now. I got a summary of almost all 36 pages of notes in my head after skimming iver them, going for a run and reciting them to myself like a madman. Just need to add the bastard koch and his postulates and more detail on action potential and im good!

Idk man. If you dont have ur own completed notes just read off someone rlses and just try to take awy a summarised point for each important topic and recite mentally to urself. Gl mate and dont stay up too late. Get as much in your head, sleep on it, wake up early and get some more notes recited and memorised and then just give it your best shot. Atar doesnt matter in long run just gives you faster access into what you wanna do by couple years at most. You got this brother

awesome bro, that's what we like to hear. i've got 4 big stacks of notes from every module and a bunch of books lmao, i think im pretty solid for content. just the way i answer questions is something i've been working on, i have a few practice papers that i've been doing. overall it could be a lot worse.

also yeah btw koch's postulates are pretty straightforward. literally just:
1. extract suspected pathogen from sick organism. all organisms suspected to have the pathogen must have the same set of symptoms.
2. identify the microbial pathogen under a microscope. then, culture the pathogen to produce more of it.
3. inoculate a healthy organism from the same species with the pathogen. if the pathogen is causing a disease, then the healthy organism should fall sick and develop the same symptoms.
4. extract the suspected pathogen from the second organism (that you brutally tortured for no reason wtf) and identify under microscope. it should be identical to the original pathogen if it is causing its symptoms.

pretty much just "if we see a sick pig and we make another pig sick, and the same bacteria are growing in them, then its the cause of a disease"

Nesas psychological mind games. The schrodingers cat of the exam being impossible or doable. I spent so much time stressing over modern, mx1 and bst thinking theyd be impossible and they ended up being fine. But when i felt prepared for 2u they diddled me in ways I will never recover from. Will forever despise 2u because of it :(

ok u ain gonna respond then lol. and yes, the only advice would be to do it quickly—im saying that because a lot of people get hung up over doing it right when realistically there’s a 25% chance of any of the 4 options. obviously you don’t want to botch it by selecting whatever at random, but you can knock out that section in a decent 15-20 mins rather than the recommended imo, which would give you tons of time for the rest. you’d be surprised at some people’s time management strats, don’t always assume that everyone is as good as you.
alr chill out not this serious all i said was lmaoo

what should we know about aboriginal medicine
couple of examples eg tea tree oil and smoke bush. how smoke bush has wound healing properties, theyre antimicrobial, antibacterial, etc. also that pharma companies have patented the use of bush medicine and so aboriginals dont recieve royalties for their discoveries, disadvantages them

its okay though because theyre scaling wasnt as good so if u made a silly mistake ur mark was basically done for. so take it as a good thing not everyone has been studying as hard as u have so even if u make silly mistakes theres more chances of u being above more poeple ykwim so its okay itll even out dont worry abt it beign hard just answer as much as u know and literally just write wtvr youll get a mark somewhere youll be fine dw
