In all honesty it shouldn't matter. I could try and calculate the overlap between HSFY and NCEA level 3, but the honest answer is it doesn't matter. For the more concept-heavy CHEM and PHSI the main advantage is from doing year 13 chemistry and physics regardless of which system you do it under. The general rule-of-thumb is that HSFY papers will spoon-feed you without assuming any previous knowledge - previous exposure to CHEM and PHSI only helps you grasp the concepts quicker. For the more rote-learning stuff like HUBS, CELS, and most of BIOC, you will get taught all the content, so you don't need to have already learned it beforehand.Does taking A level Cambridge provide a distinct advantage in HSFY? Cos I’d say 40% of HUBS is in AS and A level, 50% of PHSI, 60% of CHEM, 60% of CELS are all Cambridge content from what I’ve seen so far in exam papers.
By this do you mean past theories? If so then yes, in particular CELS and BIOC. These papers will get you to use the experiments taught in lectures and discuss how they contributed to the current theory (for example chemiosmotic coupling).Do the exam papers ever ask for knowledge on historical views and content? Is it important?
Generally, no. POPH in particular throws a LOT of statistics at you, but they don't want you to memorise these at all. All statistics you need to analyse are given to you in the exam. We never had any questions in HUBS about mortality rates etc, and I don't really recall these being taught.Also is statistical information important in information?
Like say, disease mortality rates

Okay, I'm gonna address both these posts together: No. And I think you're overthinking it.Also is statistical information important in information?

Helloo!! I'm currently taking Summer School for Chem191 and was wondering if anyone here had past exam paper answers? On blackboard they only have years 2002-2012. Cheers
Pretty sure you’re not allowed...Are you even allowed to take chem191 prior to the actual paper for HSFY in Sem 1?
Pretty sure you’re not allowed...

That's what I thought as well. Rip hope the dude sees this MSO post.
Hopefully that's the case. When I was at high school and did a university paper, I needed to check that it would not affect my chances of doing health science or getting into medicine.Is there a chance this person isn't actually doing HSFY and just wants the info?
Don't worry guys I'm retaking it.Pretty sure you’re not allowed...
The point is if you are doing a paper that is related or in health science prior to doing health science, then you are not allowed to take health science as you have already done the paper. If you are not doing health science this year or in the future then it should be all goods.Don't worry guys I'm retaking it.
I did HSFY in 2019 and I failed Chem191. So I'm retaking it in Summer School. Shoulda included this in my original question hahaThe point is if you are doing a paper that is related or in health science prior to doing health science, then you are not allowed to take health science as you have already done the paper. If you are not doing health science this year or in the future then it should be all goods.

Hi, was just wondering when are you guys gonna start buying textbooks? Or which ones should I say are worth buying?
Also are you gonna buy tickets for O-week because I’m not really the party type.
