By second year, you should hopefully have a fair idea of how to study. Your personal studying style got you through first year, but it’ll face a bigger challenge in Year 2 – affectionately known as “Biochemistry Year” and sometimes as “The killer year”. It’s rumoured that if you get through second year alright, you’ll be fine. Glasgowmedic isn’t sure how true that is, but second year is certainly a tough old year. Among other things, we’ll be looking at:The importance of going to frustratingly dull-seeming FRSs (our 2nd yr paper was basically a jaunty hike through FRS-land), “do i really need to buy Dr Dow’s book?”, facilitator’s notes and their illegality/insufficiency as exam notes (ohh! controversial!), how to pass the 2nd yr OSCE.
