I went for our national medical school admission test today. A 2.5hr component followed by an hour of lunch, then another 3hrs of testing....

I wouldn't call it "satisfactory", but I guess I won't know till results come out. I might have done fairly well after all. But since I can't use these scores to apply as it's a graduate entry thing anyway, today was more of a practice run, so I kind of winged it without preparation.

One of my weakness was my vocabulary, which kind of shows in the humanitarian section - but there's not terribly much I can do about that unless I read (and use, or I'll just forget) some really obscure and often long words.

The more important thing I should work on would be essay writing. Not having done stimulus-plan-write-STOP essays for a good few years, I suck at it now . It won't be too hard to brush up on this though, and next year when it counts, it'll just be like essay preparation in my highschool days.

Science was the part I loved. Of the topics and types of questions tested, I either did it in first year Pharmacy, second year Pharmacy, highschool chem/physics, or 3rd year pharm... In fact, the first question on the paper was something we just did....2 days ago? (Heart valves/sound and their impairments, for those interested).

Study wouldn't be necessary for that part, unlike those who are doing law, working, or something non-biochem based. The only things I can think of that I should read up again would be some rules/concepts on lenses/light/real-or-virtual images, and alpha-beta-gamma radioactive decay.

Anyway, now that that's finished, I topped off the day with some CSS fragging and Hellsing Ultimate 5 (now that Anon's the only choice). THAT made me smile
