You could say an advantage is to encourage students to study regularly. At the same time, regular assessments can help the teachers to understand the level of understanding and progress of the class, as well as picking up topics that might need to be covered again or more in depth. However, students can often be overwhelmed with assessments from different subjects, which affects their study efficiency and stress levels. Tests are also normally standardised, while some students may need adjustments, or different types of assessments to show their progression better.

Applying for Medicine

How to prepare for MMI at King's College London in two weeks 😬?

Yes! Some universities (such as Queen Mary in London only ask for Chemistry and another science)

Can I do a medical degree without an a level in biology?

Hi!
There is no such thing as a 'perfect' statement in my opinion - it needs to be very personal and reflective.
For the UKCAT, the best way to ace it is practice practi practice! The more you practice, the more you understand how the questions work and you become faster.

How to write prefect personal statement about medicine also how to ice your UKCat exam?

I like north America (and especially Canada) the most - This is because O find the people extremely nice, the environment very nice (lots of forests and certain Canadian cities are very developed by close to the mountains and to the ocean). I also thing there are good job opportunities, and a generally better work-life balance.

Religious Studies

What part of the world is your favorite?

Psychology is more of a social science and aims at treating the psychological aspects of a problem (why is a person having depression? What caused it and what can be done to improve it).
Psychiatry is a field of medicine, so they focus on treating the biology more (giving medication to improve neurotransmitter levels in the brain, so the person can have a more positive mood)

Hi Richard,

No, it's only veins that contain valves. This is to help the circulation of unoxygenated blood from the peripheries back to the heart. It also prevents blood backflow.

Hope this helps.
