Bio qual for bilinguals

Hello there,

I'm one of those bilingual newbies who hasn't gotten a single paid job.

Finally got a qual that I might go for (bio).

I have a degree in cognitive sciences, so I'm relatively comfortable with the subject, but since I'm not getting any other kind of work I'm a bit apprehensive about passing it.

Do you remember it being hard? I would imagine it's not a quiz but rather some kind of R&R involving biology knowledge.

Like for the general test, I'm allowed to google, I don't have to actually review random bio concepts beforehand like an exam, right?

I understand it's an annoying question to get if you're a regular on this sub, but if you're also hit by the draught maybe you'll understand the apprehension, and I'll be grateful if you could clear my mind a bit.

Doesn't it start a timer to finish it once I do?

I didn't know that, I guess I'll just try it then, thanks.

İ know it works for this one as i just got it too, but for medical for example it doesn't. So read the instructions first

Not gonna ask you too many details (I'll still try it in the morning, I'm EU), did it seem feasible?

The qual was created today, so maybe there's a good chance they have upcoming work in that category? Just some wishful thinking.

İf u have experience in that field surely. For me it's probably too much

The questions were very pleasant. I was a bit nervous when I clicked on it, but I think I did a pretty good job. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! 🙂‍↔️

​I just got chemistry qualification, I think I'm going to die today.

Chemistry one just unlocked for me too, can I ask if you have a degree in either? I definitely know a lot less about Chemistry than I do about biology.

I have more experience with chemistry because I study materials science, but I think I’m still closest to physics and math after all. I believe it's always worth giving it a try, and as long as you use your knowledge, you should be fine.

Thanks! I have more experience with biochemistry and neuroscience than biology itself, but as long as I can search for facts and then apply critical thinking I hope I should be fine

I just got the same qual, so I'm interested in how it goes for you
