MED2000: Year 1 and 2 Final Grade

As per the name of this unit, it combines the first two years of the MBBS into one grade:

• MED1011: 12.5%
• MED1022: 12.5%
• MED2031: 27.5%
• MED2042: 27.5%
• First VIA (Integrated Vertical Assessment) Examination: 20%

This is an unconventional "unit". Essentially it is one exam that demonstrates knowledge from Years I and II, so it's a pretty important exam (the second VIA is done after Year IV).
Preparation for the VIA is essential as it has a massive weighting, and everyone had a different style and approach. Personally I found re-writing notes on each system and topic to be useful with not too much reference to textbooks, however what is important is that you don't leave it to the last moment.

Various presenters depending on revision topic being discussed.

No (for the VIA), the Faculty has now published a document with threats to expel students from the course if they are caught compiling past questions or distributing or using past compilations. All past compilations have been removed from the MUMUS site.

N/A, this unit consists of a single examination and occurs throughout the first two years. There is a VIA revision lecture every week run by MUMUS.
