Inspiration

Always fight, never give up!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodor Roosevelt, 1910.

The bible of the entrance exam

Hi there!

When I started to study for the entrance exam I had no idea of what to study about, the only things I knew were "biology and chemestry"...yes...easy huh? Not at all! What abo
put biology and chemistry was I going to study about? Well, you all should do as I did, since you don't know which topics you will get on the exam I red the whole book about biology and chemistry on the page Curriki. There you find books, topics about everything. I really reccomend this site since the sources are safe, the info is really good, on a good level etc.

Guideline of Topics for the Entrance Exam

Here you find the Topics for the entrace exam!!!!

...ehm the eyes?

I told you before that if you get a question that you REALLY don't know anything about, yuo should answer anyway. And why I tell you this is because it happened to me. The professor asked me: So tell me about the eyes.

My brain was working and working all over again...the eyes? eh... C'mon Bella you know a lot about the eyes! Guys, maybe you don't get it now, but when you sit there in front of the professor you get mind-blowed. It feels like you don't know anything anymore! By breathing, smiling, you will get control of yourself again..and so did I ... Since I hadn't studied about the eyes for this exam I started to tell him everything I generally knew about the eyes. This was my answer.

Me: I draw an eye on a paper, and draw the pupil, the iris, the lens and the vitreous humor. And I started to explain in this way (I know that some things may sound really stupid since even children know these things, but it's better to tell them everything you know then nothing!). "Well Professor, we can see with the eye, we see light, darkness and colors. The eye is an organ. The eyes sees the light and convert it into electro chemical impulses in neurons. When it has convert the signals into impulses in the neurons it transmits these signals to the brain, to a place called visual cortex. Many people have problems with the eyes. They see less then others."

And that was it...that was everything I knew about the eye. And I saw the professor writing on a paper, I saw that he had actually given some points to me for this answer. So remember, it's better that you tell the professor everything you know, and received some points, instead of not telling the professor since you think it's not good enough fact and you receive 0 points.

How to apply step 4: Entrance exam details

 

So...the big day will come..the examination day. But what will the exams be about? The exams consist of two parts, WRITTEN and ORAL.


1.  The WRITTEN part includes multiple choice tests in Biology (20 questions), Chemistry (20 questions), General English (40 questions) and Medical English (20 questions).

Duration of written exam: 2,5 hours

2. The ORAL part is an interview with a university professor about medicine related questions.

You think you are nervous for the written exam? Then you have no idea of how it feels to make the pral presentation... we from north Europa are not used to make oral exams, so it's more hard for us then for others to make the pral exam since it's completely different then the written part. I was so so so nervous when I went in to the room and saw the professor sitting and waiting for me. Gosh! It felt like my legs were made of jelly, but remember guys, with a smile on your face everything will go alright. I just tried to relax, and it doesn't matter if you don't know the answer of one question! Just say everything you know about it! Just TALK TALK TALK! If you don't know "deeper" info about  a topic, then just tell them everything that popps up in your head!
