Did anyone else get significantly less than they expected..

How much is 'significantly less'?

 

[Sam]

21/25.. Pretty happy considering that I had tonnes of IRL sh*t going down for the entire week before and got like no study time.. lol Only worth 7%, don't get hung up on it folks

Wasn't really that bad, 22/25.. just miffed after having thought I got 24-25

 

[Bluerock]

22/25. I was hoping for 23, as I knew of two questions where I went wrong. But I'm fine with that, not a bad score.

 

[SeeKay]

Got 24/25, I knew I had the intravenous question wrong so was expected.

Exactly, also don't forget everyone that this was pretty much your first "University" test! (HUBS GLM doesn't count!!!)
So don't worry if you didn't do as well as you thought, I can guarantee you that you'll do better next time now that you know how it goes.

Me too. Sooooooo gutted when I found out I got that one wrong. Then there was the biceps one, which made me facepalm the moment the test was over. Apparently I thought it connected to the humerus.

Lol, I said it connected to the radius.

GLM2 is now up - thanks to me! lol

 

[alice]

22/25, was hoping a weeee bit more but certainly can't complain!

 

[Ruth]

23/25 I knew I got two wrong so yuss (somehow I thought plantarflexion was in the coronal plane...)

Also, wow Tony Kim needs to learn to log out of things haha. Poor guy

 

[frootloop]

You guys all did great! Seriously, as long as you didn't get like <50%, you haven't done your chances any harm.

 

[Nimbus2000]

I got 23/25 too! HI5! people, I completely agree with froot, I think we've all done ourselves well, and you should all be quite proud!

Even then I know of at least one person in med who got <50% in a HUBS test!

 

[Bluerock]

In other news, the next HUBS GLM isn't hard. There's a bit of a rough question about the damage Patrick does to his structures when breaks his femur, which luckily I didn't get. But other then that, the rest of the questions are pretty straightforward.

@juna , did you find any of the worksheet questions difficult, or feel a bit uncertain about sections in particular? Those are the best kinds of questions to drill before the mid-sem. If you thought the worksheets were a breeze, think back to the lectures and isolate anything you feel iffy about, or anything the lecturer particularly emphasized, and study that.

Okay, I will. Thanks

Heh funny, on blackboard they posted a message telling people to shutup and stop leaving lectures early. It is pretty damn annoying when you get a bunch of idiots behind you laughing and browsing facebook through the entire lecture.

I've always wondered why these people actually go to lectures... Like, I see people browsing fb, playing games, etc all the time, and I'm just like 'Why didn't you stay home and just listen to the podcast later?'.
Edit: Oh, and they told our year that as well, like, >9000 times. Something about health-sci seems to breed rudeness, since you lot also always seem to burst in on our patient presentations in St Davids as well. Look through the spy-hole first, dammit

I think people should still keep going to lectures even if you listen for 30 seconds... there's just something about having been in the lecture that makes picking up information from the slides so much easier later. IMO these people wouldn't bother listening to podcasts anyway.

Oh, thats as long as they try not to annoy everyone else, or else someone should kick them out!
