hiya,

i was just roaming around IF, saw this and i think it was very helpful. thx for asking and answering this enquiry everybody :)

actally i came from HK a year ago. this year i'm in year 12, doing maths, physics, chem n bio. and maths is my passion, and since most of the content is familiar to me anyway so i'm doing further maths as a private thing as well. i wanna ask, is further maths really a soft subject? does it really not matter AT ALL when applying to medicine? well ive been told that further maths does look good as long as you get a good grade, if you love it and are good at it, im sure it does count for something

i know loads of people taking furthe maths and they all say it's useful

i wanna study medicine in england. my personal 1st choice was birmingham. but then due to reasons now, i wanna try for nottingham 1st n besides i am studying in nottingham right now. and then besides those two, i was thinking abt sheffield n manchester.

and i wanna ask, is UKCAT hard? i tried uploading the short version n tried doing it, i tried it the first time n i felt like there r so many Q but they gotta be done in a VERY short period of time. isn't that true? how much time do u really need to start preparing for the UKCAT exams? because i'm already worrying abt them in the beginning of year 12. i dun want to spoil my AS level studies coz of my worry for the UKCAT exams. else i'd be doing good in neither. can anyone tell me the appropriate time to start concentrating on the UKCAT exam and what kind of preparations must i do.

hope i wasn't confusing... :$ excuse me if i was.

take care.

and thanks for reading this.

love,

sumra

sorry double post by mistake :$
