Nope!! You have 4-5 months to go which is more than enough if you organise yourself well and set yourself daily / weekly goals

@Zahra-gl1cy yup!

heya nope I did biology, chemistry and maths :))

@@luluhalim Ooh, okay. I study here in Dubai, and we have AS level in Year 12, where we finish half the A Level syllabus, and then A Levels in Year 13, where we complete the other half. We have the options in Year 12 and then drop one in Year 13. I had to fight the system to take only three subjects. Friends and school management tried to convince me that it was 'too risky' because if I didn't score well in one subject, I wouldn't be able to take three subjects in Year 13. I also plan to do med, and some countries require physics for Year 12. So, do you think it's necessary, especially if I want to pursue medicine in the UK? But if I don't get into medicine in the UK, do other countries require physics? to study medicine **Sorry for the long message** 😭

Haha Yess you can do it, it definitely has its ups and downs, I live with amazing flatmates thankfully so that helps in the loneliness aspect but you’ll definitely feel lonely here and there. In terms of cooking and other stuff it’s all about getting used to it, and it’s life skills that are really helpful for the long run!!! I’d say don’t stress about it too much, you’ll have loads of fun and your optimistim and attitude about it will shape your experience☺️🫶🏻

@luluhalim awwh tysm ..I'm definitely looking forward to it!! Thankyouuuuuu :3

Thank youuu!!!! Yess that’s so true, starting hospital placement really made a huge difference in how I envision myself as a doctor and what type of doctor I want to be which is also motivating!!!🫶🏻🎀 Now that Christmas holidays are starting soon there’ll also be more time to catch up on work as well, good luck in your studies!! 💞

Heyy!!! Yess definitely I’ll be making a video on how to get high grades, its defo just making sure you put in the work and stay on top of your lectures + studying smartly with tools like anki. Good luck on starting med school!!! And YESS you should defo start vlogging it’s so much fun, I’m not going to lie it is hard to balance and I’m not too good at it with my posting schedule but if you organise yourself and set yourself a set time every week to film and edit then you’ll be able to stay on top of it more!

@@luluhalim AllahumaBarik! Thankyouu so muchh seniorDr. Wish you all the best for your studies and may you become a good Dr I am looking upto ,, love you and thanks

Thank youu!! Definitely most of the time it’s hard to find motivation to be honest but here are some things that make it easier: - break your tasks into small chunks, when you feel like you have ALOT to do its easier to get demotivated, I LOVE setting myself a date deadline then seeing how many topics i need to do a day to stay on track, this gives you smaller milestones everyday to get through - Have a nice study atmosphere going, that can be music / songs or a certain cafe / library you go too or studying with friends etc so that you can stay accountable. - Don’t blame yourself too much, being lazy is not a problem in you its mainly things like stress or dreading a big task etc that make you procrastinate, so if you take things one by one and be realistic and systematic with yourself, it helps SOO much. - find your goal and motif, if you want certain grades really think about why and envision your future, this way you’ll have a set goal in mind that pushes you to work when you don’t want to - it’s way easier to have fun now but think about future you and whether you’ll be satisfied with the results or regret them (I personally didn’t feel too good after my first year exams in med school and that drove me to work way harder in second year cuz i wanted to feel satisfied with the work i put in) I hope this helps!!

@ thank you I’ll definitely try scheduling my goals by dates !!

@@ruqyanajem aww thank you!!! It’s coming very soon!!!

@@sabeetha3078 I’d definitely recommend investing in a question bank like Medify to start practising, and there are loads of resources on youtube that are super helpful like section walkthroughs. Overall, starting early and giving yourself time to take practice is key and good luck!

Hiya! That would be amazing if you can but I would say don’t stress yourself as long as you know you’ll be able to cover all the topics my the end of the year and have time to go through them

Hiya! Making topics before the class is quite useful personally as you get to consolidate your learning once already during the class, but it can be a difficult thing to keep doing throughout the year so I’d recommend a mix of both depending on how you’re doing with your other topics etc., (I’d say the main focus should be to try and not fall behind on other topics)

I’m currently using the ipad Air 5 :))

Thank youu!☺️

Usually its 3 years which are the clinical years of medicine, we get placed in different departments yup and the curriculum is based around hospital specialties

@@luluhalim ooo okay! thanks for explaining

you definitely can yes! as long as you’re very organised with your time and you’re structuring your revision and planning it beforehand, and then keeping up on reviewing content often then you should be able to do well! I’d recommend using youtube channels to learn the concepts first and then practicing and reviewing them :))

@@luluhalim Thanks a lot sis, i will do so. my only concern is the topic layout, by that i mean i dont know which topics comes first and what are the subtopics,

Hiyaa I’d recommend asking your teachers at school and getting information from there, I did AQA sadly so I’m not sure how the cie exam works ;’(

@@luluhalim oh god cie is really hard & im an external student

hi can u help me??? plz????????

This can definitely happen and its super frustrating!! Especially when it feels like everything is all over the place :(, the best way to move on and continue is to start tackling small things step by step and not try to tackle everything all at once. Start by giving yourself mini tasks everyday and making a big list of all the topics you need to cover by midterms then rank which ones are the highest yield and slowly go through them. In this situation its best to not focus on doing everything at once and instead focus on the high yield topics. Good luck hopefully it’ll work out!

@@luluhalim thank you!!

@@amagamer5558 I’d definitely recommend at least having a laptop for flashcards / anki and accessing lectures or for any written projects you have, so if you need to invest in something now and you don’t currently have one then I’d say a laptop. If you do have a laptop already then I’d recommend starting out with handwritten notes and seeing how it works for you :))

@luluhalim thank u soo much

@@lxna6573 aww thank you!!! I’m still not sure, I’ve been very interested in surgery but I’m open to all specialties as of now :)), ooo thank you for the recommendations I’ve heard a lot about both, I’ll try them out hehe

@ okayyy inshallah you’ll do great in whatever you choose! hope you love the book series! 💖

@@luluhalim also in your “how to study for bio & chem” video, you said you would note down your mistakes and then turn them into flashcards, but how did you do that? Did you turn the mistakes into questions or did u just write them down so when u go through the flashcards u get reminded of the mistake?

it would depend, most of my flashcards were just one word like “insulin” or a transition metal and then its properties - sometimes I would write down for example “nephron questions” on one side and then the other would be “always remember to mention which area in the nephron”. If there’s a specific thing that I’d always forget then I’d do a normal question flashcard with an answer at the back, I hope this makes it more clear!

@ thank you! This is so helpful. Good luck for the future inshallah you’ll do amazing!!❤️💖

@@Yellowpfp019 hiya! I’d recommend you search up all the different type of questions that you can be asked and what the medical school you’re applying for usually asks - you can find this with a simple search online usually - and then answer all of these questions in a document and practice saying them naturally so you have an idea of how you’d answer them. Also, there’re many playlists on youtube that talk about current ethical issues in the nhs, different aspects of the gmc, and general topics that usually come up in interviews so I’d say watch as many as you can and practice loads with your friends and teachers (e.g., aspiring medic videos are really good!)

@ thank you so much 😊

You’d have to look at the specs and what you want from the device! My ipad was really helpful esp since i edit on it but I think samsung tablets are equally as good and have loads of cool features! I’d recommend you watch comparison videos which might help :)

Thank youu❤️💞

Hey! Hmm I’d say personally I’ve always really loved learning about medicine as a subject which was my main drive. I also didn’t imagine myself in any other jobs like office jobs / finance etc and really liked the idea of being on wards and being able to help patients and aid in humanitarian projects! Plus with the pay it depends on countries as well I’m open to considering practicing in other countries with better pay and work/life balance :))

Hi I wanted to ask this too I am applying to medicine and wondered what made you choose medicine specifically , not because of money, but what do you enjoy about the job? It seems like so many people are quitting medicine and so wanted insight from someone doing the degree now thanks

Aww thank youuu!!! I’m so happyy you find them inspirational good luck in your studies!🤭❤️

@@Zelika789 doesn’t matter! Both are the same :)

@@Zelika789 nope I didn’t I only got it when I started uni :)

@@eyo512 I took AQA haha :))

@@luluhalim ohhh my bad tyeb howa in the AQA do u take all the papers at once? Wala can u split it up? Like into sessions like the edx ya3ni u can take unit 1 in Jan and unit 3 in may june

@@eyo512 as far as I know you can’t split it up nope you’d have to do all 3 papers in may-june after each other

Unless you decide to do AS then A2 separately but I’m not sure whether schools still provide that

@@luluhalim ohhh okokok thank you sooo much cutie ❤️❤️ and we have the same name twinssas 😛😛

@@amtulaziz2904 this is the link for the UCAT website: www.ucat.ac.uk/ - you can book your exam through the website and it has all the information about the UCAT :)

@@luluhalim Thank you so much sis🥰

@@Nishaslave I’m struggling in that as well! But will try and collect some advice and make a video on it

@@luluhalim thank you so much sister... May Allah bless you 💖
