    First Day of Uni...

    MATH1110 is considered a very easy course by pretty much everyone, especially in comparison to MATH1210 which can be taken instead. If you're struggling with it because you only did 2 unit maths, make sure to attend the math clinic regularly (though you really should have done a bridging...

    Someone had to do it...

    Nope. Not one of the Merewether crew.

    Someone had to do it...

    ELEC2320 98 ELEC2131 92 MATH2310 100 PHYS2170 88 Maintained my 7.0, so I'm pretty ecstatic. This semester was an absolute killer in regards to workload (especially PHYS2170), really looking forward to next semester which looks like it will have a much nicer pace.

    My exam is longer than yours.

    Yeah, it surprised me considering I didn't finish any of the exams this semester, they seemed so much longer than last semester. I'm a bit annoyed by how I must have gone in the ELEC1300 final considering I went in with 50/50. The overall mark is pretty decent though, so meh.

    My exam is longer than yours.

    I have just completed my first year of electrical engineering. My results for the year. I'm stoked I managed the 90 in GENG1803, what a terrible subject. ELEC1300: 93 ELEC1700: 96 GENG1803: 90 MATH1210: 92 MATH1220: 93 PHYS1210: 90 PHYS1220: 92 SENG1110: 95

    I gained an interview for a UNISS scholarship, but I am a little torn.

    To my delight, I discovered a letter from the Engineering department of the University of Newcastle in my mailbox. It turns out, my application for a UNISS scholarship (Electrical Engineering) has passed the initial stages. Thus, I have an interview scheduled in the near future. Here is where...

    What Your think your raw marks will be?

    In 2001 a 56/84 alligned to a 46/50. Though the values obviously would vary somewhat due to the difficulty of the paper, I would assume that a mark in the mid 70's would still scale into the 45+range. I hope. I don't really know though, so If someone could clarity this matter, it would be of...

    What Your think your raw marks will be?

    I thought that a 70-80% raw mark would scale into the top band. The raw cutoffs that I have seen seem to indicate this. I got to bed at 3:00 last night, so I wasn't exactly in the best condition for a test. I panicked and once again messed up my time management. I'm hoping for a raw mark around...

    General Thoughts - Mathematics Extension 2

    Re: General Thoughts - Maths Extension 2 Looking through the test, it didn't seem so difficult. Unfortunately, I completely messed up my time management. I didn't have the time to complete questions that I am sure I could have done.

    How many significant figures?

    I have also been worrying about this. I do not wish to lose a significant amount of easy marks because of incorrect decisions on how many significant figures. The questions that always confuse me in regards to significant figures are the questions that include information listed with one...

    How was the test

    I didn't do so well in the multiple choice, which put me in a bad mood that affected how I went in the rest of the paper. Ultimately, I don't think I did very well. What did everyone have for the multiple choice questions? I wasn't sure about the pressure questions, the arch bridge reaction...

    Curve sketching practice questions?

    I am currently trying to revise curve sketching, as it seems to be an area in which I could gain a significant amount of easy marks. The problem is that there are practically no curve sketching questions in the text books that I have that are similar to the HSC curve sketching questions. By...

    Yet another UAI estimation thread.

    She and I are different posters.

    Yet another UAI estimation thread.

    What level of raw marks in the extension 1 and 2 courses are required to get an aligned mark that is over 90? I am aware that these alignments have no bearing on the UAI, but I am trying to create a realistic UAI prediction through SAM (which uses aligned marks,no?). I was rather suprised to...
