    Hey mate, I dont come here much these days..but yeh anyways to answer your question, if your going into engineering jobs, by doing a combined segree with anything (not just commerce) you will stand out more and will probably give you a better chnace in getting an interview...thats about it. It...

    B engineering/ B commerce

    Hey mate I'm graduating from electrical engineering/commerce and can tell you that if anything it is alot easier than doing a straight electrical engineering degree. In commerce you do 1 Major and 1 Minor (no double major)...but then seriously why would you want to anyway. I did a Finance...

    quick q

    When I started (in 2004) I don't think we had flexible engineering so for Electrical engineering so we had a pretty much fixed plan for the first 3 years on what subjects we need to take. In your case now it seems you only have 5 subjects in year 1 that you must take and the other 3 are...

    quick q

    Don't worry about your program as long as it lets you enrol into the subjects you want. (I will be doing my last semester of eng/com this year and I still have not selected my major in commerce..it just becomes implied from the commerce subjects I took) Do you have any idea what engineering...

    stupid UAC rules

    Thanks for replying finally theres a normal conversation in here. I agree with everything you said but I still just would like to see this system be able to accommodate those that apply after your UAI is available. You said it yourself, your brother thought he got 75 but ended up with...

    stupid UAC rules

    I suppose that is fair, people who apply first can get their application processed before those applying later. But if person #1 registers on time and person #2 applies after receiving their UAI why does person #2 have to pay all those late fees? If you already charge person number #2 extra...

    stupid UAC rules

    I have never changed anything you wrote hence the use of a quote, you have however assumed something wrongly every time you tried to make a counter argument. You were making a counter argument to an argument that you misunderstood. I wont bother trying to prove this to you as its obviously...

    stupid UAC rules

    Are you seriously retarded? Did I say its a bad thing? YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT AGAIN! If you have your whole life worked out please send a uni application ASAP, who is stopping you. I am and always was ONLY talking about those who don't want to apply early, that is before their UAI comes...

    stupid UAC rules

    Because you may not wish to be under that pressure to now have to live up to the expectations of getting into a course that you randomly choose 3 months before you even sit for the HSC exam. Because maybe one would like to take some time AFTER the HSC results come out to assess what one wanted...

    stupid UAC rules

    Don't be stupid. Who assumes what is not even relevant. To say that you have to be "smart" to get your preferences early just illustrates your ignorance and no doubt enables this stupid system to go on. My point is that we are ALL pressured to get our preferences in early by UAC and by doing...

    stupid UAC rules

    Well we probably wont have to do anything about it anyway. It seems that universities themselves are slowly trying to implement systems to enable students to enter into courses below the "official" UAI cutoff with those bonus UAI point schemes for performing well in certain HSC subjects. Its...

    Repeat year 12 again?.....

    Yes, thats what they would want you to do, spend 22$ for an option to apply in a few months. Perhaps this person did not want the pressure of having to then live up to this expectation of getting into such a course or uni in general and decided to concentrate on their HSC and think about...

    Repeat year 12 again?.....

    If I was you I would...but the bad news is that you may not receive an offer in any case since UAC doesn't apparently consider applicants who apply after 7th December in the main round of offers (that has to be the most absurd thing i ever heard, but apparently its true). I think your still...

    Calling all Engineering/Commerce students, need help!

    I just finished my 4th year I dont even know whats going on here. Basically whats meant to happen is that you don't need to do any Gen ed subjects which straight engineering students do and thats the difference. But I know also that you shouldnt do the commerce 1st year maths subjects QMA and...

    stupid UAC rules

    I reserve the right to be corrected! Anyway, it seems that UAC allows you to enter some preferences for University courses way back, months before you even do your HSC exams, back before you even know what the hell UAI is, not to mention what the courses are about and how university is...

    Repeat year 12 again?.....

    To the guys with bad UAIs...what do you want? 1. A high UAI for the sake of having a high UAI? 2. Some course you wanna do at uni? If 1. no point in talking to you, if 2. then you might wanna try and apply to UWS into any course for the moment. Hopefully you can get a credit average in...

    bonus UAI points

    yeah i knew you had to live in the area to get the 5 points...but for the bonus 10 points it doesn't seem to be location related, but rather dependent on what subjects you did for HSC and how you scored in them. BTW i was asking for someone else...Im already at uni...for awhile...and still no...

    bonus UAI points

    Hey guys does anyone know here whats the deal with UWS "Subject Bonus Scheme Points" scheme? Do you automatically obtain +10 UAI points if you satisfy 1 requirement like say for business@UWS is says you would get 10UAI points if you got E3 or E4 in Ext1 English. It seems too good to be true.

    Heh, no i don't have any solutions. I did this paper in the morning on the day of the exam so i never really kept those rough workings. The link works..i just tried it. right-click -> save-target-as then open it.

    Make sure you do the past papers. This subject was so crap when i did it last semester, the lecturers cant even speak properly and they put exams that are WAY harder than anything you see in the book or from examples. Unless they released it on the web ct (like they failed to do last semester...
