I did a bridging course for maths ext at the beginning of this year at UNSW. They only taught the content from the HSC that would be directly needed for your study at uni. It's not like your going to cram the whole HSC course in 4 weeks. The tests you do each week are not really difficult but...

Re: How much does having a laptop help me at uni? If you are doing any computer subjects I would recommend it. A lot of people were typing up code during lectures last semester. But I agree with others that often people are just playing games like quake or watching anime. Especially if the...

I found this thread hilarious and wanted to put some input from a UNSW BIT student. I agree with what doe has said, especially since he has the relevant experence under his belt. this is why I'm glad I choose the BIT co-op scholarship at UNSW over B. IT at USYD last year. I'm doing 3...

But shorely this year must have had an extraordinary increase in people being excepted below their cut offs, as I’ve seen in my yr. It's not that I detest people getting in with lower UAI's, it's just the deception in which we were lead to believe that the UAI was the be and end all if you...

Are you saying the area of the rectangle is 2ln8? Shouldn't it be ln8 * (2 - 1/4) , there for answer = 7/4 * ln8 - 7/4

For question 9 I found what looks to be the same generator on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_generator But it says "However, unlike all other dynamos, this machine cannot be analysed using Faraday's own law of electromagnetic induction. This law (in its modern form) states that...

I finished with 40 minutes to spare but I saw 3 people walk out 20 minutes before I finshed and check over thier paper! It's either i didn't write pages and pages for those large marks in quantum to quarks or this test gives too much time as i'm usualy last to finish in all my tests.

It was pretty easy as for poetry they specifically specified only 2 poems :) Yet it was annoying that I had prepared an essay practically identical to the question in section III yet couldn't remember all those cool points in the exam. Also my conclusion to last essay was so lame, 2 sentences :[.

I've always found when I tried to do 12 pages I did not answer the question and got a lower mark if I just cut out alot of my information and just related back to question. Maybe i'm wrong, ahhh.

hmmm well i only wrote 4 pages for creative and 6 pages for journey essay. Add a few more pages and I wouldn't have time to think if I was answering the question. mark = 70%-80%

Yeah, I'm getting scared of History Ext. now with so many people saying how hard it is. If you can get a comparable mark to an assured band 6 in IPT then i would probably choose History Ext even if your not a total english buff. :)

At the momment I have 14 units. I have a choice of dropping IPT or History Ext. I do well in IPT but then again it is easy and I am alright at history. Both teachers seem to be providing information on why to drop the other subject. I am a fairly good writer but can't imagine getting in the...
