Hi,I recently got accepted to study medicine (PMS) in IMU, Feb intake. I've got a few inquiries related to the course.

1) Since past year papers are not provided in IMU, are there any other specific papers which students are advised to attempt first before sitting for the exam?Back in high school and college, i realized that i personally would not be able to score if i prepared for the exam by solely reading and obtaining in formations from the book.I personally find it essential to try out papers related to the exam.

2) Is it true that students are booted out from the university straight if they failed any one subject in the exam? Are they not given a chance to retake the papers which they failed?

3) Would studying the notes given by lecturers suffice helping me obtain high marks in the exams?

Thanks.

1. You could try asking your seniors. Past exam papers are usually supplied...there will be at least a sample paper for you to do. Do note that they will generally not provide the answers (in exception of MCQs) and you would not know how they mark the paper.
2. Those who fail would have to answer to a progress committee and do a supplementary exam, if they fail that exam-they will need to redo the semester or get kicked out
3. Notes by the lecturers would enable you to pass. If you want high marks(80+), you would need to do extra reading.

I'm not from IMU, but my answers can be applied generally to most medical schools

I don't think getting into IMU automatically means getting into the PMS option.

1. no past yrs papers available
only mock papers by IMU, they'll take back the papers after that mock exam itself, and wont let students keep them
and some students including muslim students society come out with their own questions
yet there're no real past yrs papers

2. No u can fail any paper as long as u pass ur overall grade, and yes u can retake but u'll only be given a pass and no grade if u pass it

3. Well studying notes would probably just enable u to pass, but doing extra reading does not guarantee anything as well
my batch M207, NO ONE got 80+ (A) for their EOS2, only 5 got 75+ (A-)
gone are those days where around 80 out of 100 plus students got into dean's list

I've got a question about the PMS option. At the end of the 2.5 years when you're supposed to list out all the PMSs, do you only get selected from one uni or do you have a choice kind of thing. is it like a you get A you go A thing?

incorrect.....when you apply to imu, you MUST indicate which stream you want......either the pms stream or local stream........once chosen, you are not allowed to change stream, except in exceptional circumstances......

They will post it to your house through post laju. However if you do not receive the offer within the span of two weeks after your interview, you are required to call the office to check. And i got mine less than a week after the interview, so usually it's a week or so after the interview.

Last time when i applied, i was notified like 3 weeks later, cuz apparently post man misplaced the offer letter. SO the best thing to do is to call. sweat.gif

Also, i noticed PMS applicants tend to get the offer late. Many of my friends also got their offers late, but mine was the latest thanks to Pos Malaysia. rclxub.gif

may I ask a ques...

The processing fee for Medicine & Dentistry courses are RM300.
We are given to options to rank the courses we are interested in, lets say if I choose:
1. MBBS (IMU-PMS) August intake
2. MBBS (IMU-PMS) Feb intake
3. MBBS (IMU) August intake
4. Dentistry (IMU-PDS)
What is the total processing fee that I'm required to pay?

is sem 1 summative assessment tough?
my batch mates are studying it as though tomorrows the paper already.

but my seniors tell me not to worry too much as its closely related to our lecture notes and its 50 mcq.

im currently using my notes (90%) some marieb and those muslim society guided "what do you have to know for this weeks lecture" module.

and interview results etc will be notified by post. so just wait around. see you jan. if youre really lazy, you can skip orientation. : )

It's always good to start early so that you don't panic when the exam's approaching. Accumulating your notes and not reading them at all is a really bad idea. Haha. I'm not sure but i heard the standard has gone up now. As in the papers are getting tougher? They changed the format after my batch so i can't really tell. But i depended a lot on my notes. Like 99%. Didn't really have a lot of time for books smile.gif
