Okay I think this is what you'll want to do, but take it with a grain of salt and make your own decision about it.

Term 1:

Biology 1P03
Psych 1X03
Math 1K03
Elective (Possibly Linguistics 1A03)
Japanese 1Z06

Term 2:
Psych 1XX3
Math 1A03 (Interchangeable with 1SL3 & 1M03)
Biology 1A03
Biology 1M03
Japanese 1Z06

I think what it boils down to is, you can only take one out of the three courses of Math listed as prerequisities for the PNB program.

As a side tip, you really want to try to get 15 units both semesters instead of unbalancing it with something such as 12 and 18. That way you don't crush yourself second semester.

In regards of Math, if you want to keep on learning math in university you should take Math 1A03. Otherwise you can take whichever one you want.

You'll get use to reading the confusing undergraduate calendar prerequisites. But yeah, you only need to take 1 math.

Good God guys that was such an epic fail on our(Insiders Part)...ROFL.....How could anyone here even think that FOUR Maths courses are required in one year for admission into second year Psych! Bahahaha

Also except one(Intro to Neuroscience, 2F03 I think) you can do all second year courses with simply Bio 1P03/or 12th Grade Bio. For 2F03 you need Bio 1A03 as well.

Can anyone double Check here http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /CALEN...nt/pg1837.html for me?

Like For example: Psych 2H03
The psychological study of knowledge and how people use it. Topics include pattern recognition, remembering and reasoning.
Three lectures, one tutorial; one term
Prerequisite(s): Six units from PSYCH 1A03, 1AA3, 1X03, 1XX3 with a grade of at least C+ in each, and one of BIOLOGY 1A03, 1M03 (or 1AA3), 1P03 (or 1K03), or Grade 12 Biology U, and registration in a program in Psychology or the Faculty of Science; or ISCI 1A24; or registration in Arts & Science, the Bachelor of Health Sciences (Honours), the Honours Linguistic Cognitive Science or the Honours Music (Music Cognition) program

Hence assuming I'm not messing up if she is registered in Psych she can survive with just 12th grade or 1P03.

That is correct.

okay so I have a question I'm also doing psychology and I have my schedule made up but I forgot to add the 2nd math that we need to take, but I don't really want to take a course out to add the math 1M03 because then my semester will become harder, so instead I was wondering if I can take 1M03 in summer schoool? Andd.. will that prevent me from entering honours psychology because I didnt complete it during the year?

My schedule is
philosophy
math 1F03
psych
sociology
social work
2nd term
inquiry
bio
psych
sociology
social work

I asked that question a while ago, and apparently, you're allowed to take it in the summer, but you'd get your decision of getting into your second yr program later than everyone else since your exam and final mark would go in later than everyone else's

It's not advisable to take Bio 1A03 and Bio 1M03 concurrently or at the same time.
I read that on the undergraduate calendar and I'd just like to remind the OP because it may get difficult later on

Definitely!
Harshi- by "bio" do you mean both biology courses in second term?
