should i do chem? (1 Viewer)

[aussienerd]

i'm yet another one of those mede hopefuls...

i want to do bio and chem...
should i do physics too if i want to do medicine?
do i have to do at least 2 unit maths if i want to do these?

i'm not sure please help me out

Chem is a definite yes. Physics will make it easier for you to get into med. As it has a higher scale. 2 Unit maths is enough to do Physics and Chem.

2 Unit maths is enough to do Physics and Chem.

haii is general math enough??

 

[ashllis92]

Chem - definately
Physics - helpful especially in terms of scaling but if you can't stand it/ will go crap then don't
Biology - do it if you like it and will go well
2U maths - scales well and will help a bit for physics and chem, you don't need to do 3U if that's what you're asking

 

[ashllis92]

haii is general math enough??

General will be enough to help you get through Physics and chem but it scales pretty terribly so you'll need to smash it or do 12 units

 

[aussienerd]

can you do 13 units in yr 12?

 

[Fortify]

Yep !

 

[DInfinity]

I heard of 'people' who do 15 units. *cough*freaks*cough*

so should i do chem people... ive had 80 views and hardly and replies

 

[micuzzo]

the max math u need in chem is being able to rearrange an equation.... if u can do that u'll b fine...

for phys u need to no 'harder' things like cos n sin rule

imo.. chem is fun.. but yr11 chem is mucchh harder than yr12 chem so it may b initially overwellming

DO CHEM!
not only is it relevant to medicine (i guess) it is possibly the best subject. ever.
It also scales fairly well (but do not pick subjects based on scaling alone).
In conclusion: chem=win!

 

[aussienerd]

im gonna do chem then

 

[emmcyclopedia]

yay for chem and bio!!
they are mad topics, really fun.

Chem, i found more 'general' in yr 11, and it had a more industrial focus in yr 12.

Bio - good in yr 11, but gets even better in yr 12 =D
[It's pretty much all human biology for hsc! love it!!]

Are you doing physics because u want to do it, or just to get into med? I dropped it, but i still liked it a little, and all my mates say hsc physics is good.

imo, don't look at scaling - nail ur subjects and it won't matter =]
check out the pre-requisites for different unis tho.
but some of them (like newcastle - i want to do BMed or B Biomed there) don't have ANY pre-requisites... only a decent UMAT/ATAR/Interview =]

Im not sure about chem, nut im pretty sure that (funnily enough) bio isnt a prerequisite for medicine.
physics is a lot of fun, moreso than chem, to me.
