The Guru Method GAMSAT Preparation Blog

Hi there, would be really grateful if someone could answer my question, I have been asking around but so far am getting inconsistent answers - I have a really low GPA - 4.5 but would really like to get into Pharmacy at Sydney Uni which requires a 5.5, Is there anyway I can increase my GPA? Can I do some extra subjects such as the ones listed as pre-requisite for Pharmacy, or would I need to complete an entirely new degree? what if I did a short masters coursework that takes about 1-1.5 years to complete?..I graduated a while ago - 5yrs ago, so regrettably I did put minimum effort into my science degree

The darkness before dawn... Do not give up the last week. Good luck everyone.

Hey guys,

Less than a week to go - just wanted to say good luck to all of you! Hopefully we can do this! =D

This is a bit of a dumb question, but during the 10 minutes of reading time for sections I and III, are we allowed to flip through the actual test questions or is it just to read the directions?!

MBBS = M.B.B.S just as Hons = HONS.

Differences in formatting, that's all.

Thanks Sandy. It was interesting, I noticed that some doctors at my local clinic had their qualifications listed as MBBS and some had M.B.B.S. Is the difference (ie the dots in between) due to wether they studied medicine as a postgraduate or an undergraduate?

On a side note, one of the doctors had (HONS) in capitals, listed after the M.B.B.S, and one of them had (Hons) in lower caps. Why would this be, does anyone know?

More or less the same except the the length.

What is the difference?

In my area there is the undergraduate medicine at monash, clayton. I have been to its info page on the monash uni website, and it says it is 5 years long.

The postgraduate medicine in my area is at Gippsland and it does not have much info on its page compared to the undergraduate medicine, and it says it is only 4 years long.

I was under the impression postgraduate medicine and undergraduate medicine were the same, but after reading about it on the monash website, it would seem they are not.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the differences are? They are both called the MBBS, so are they basically the same qualifiction? Do they have the same career outlook, and how simillar is the content?

Thanks.

Thanks guys for the reply! I dont know if that makes me feel better or worse haha. But its good to know how others are managing.

Cheers
