Funnily enough, I actually did just that before I made this thread, but no one picked up. I guess I'll try again another time. Would there be people on campus by the phones every day even though the semester hasn't started?

Just wondering - how do I know if USYD received my registration form? I'm doing the grammar bridging course at Cumbo and the instructions are to post, fax or email. I scanned in my form, emailed it off last week and now I'm wondering if I should wait for some sort of confirmation. I'm not a real...

Re: 2012 USYD Chatter Thread I had the same problem yesterday. It was fine logging into MyUni but email just didn't work. It does now though. Just log in from www.outlook.com. I guess it took some time to register the new enrolments or whatnot. I still can't access it through my itouch though ):

Don't be disheartened by one assessment. It's done and dusted; set your sights on the next one and try to make up for it. Generally speaking, I think you have a good chance of 90+ Your maths mark may not be the best but remember that your school marks do not count in calculating your ATAR - your...

English and ext. 1 were my best subjects but I have to admit that compared to other subjects, I really didn't do much for them. Year 11 was a blur but I guess you might want to focus on essays and narratives. Essays were only lukewarm to me in year 11 and it took some experimenting before I...

Writing notes is really important in studying in year 12. I wrote my own notes, starting from scratch. Do not simply copy notes from a book or your tutor. Rather, work through one dot point at a time. Make sure that you understand it. Look at a variety of sources. If your tutor's notes for that...

I'm quite sure it's alright. I used one from a study guide and frankly did quite well. As determine said, it's all about how unique your argument is. They can't mark you down for what text you do; it's how well you can analyse it, and how deeply you can make relevant connections to the essay...

I just finished my HSC this year and was recently approached by a classmate to tutor her sister in English, who is going onto year 9 next year. Tutoring hadn't even crossed my mind before and I honestly don't know if I'll be any good at it. We're both willing to trial it though, so here I am...

Well, in the Crucible, a predominant theme is the fact that Danforth and the court create a situation where it is expected that all individuals will choose to belong in order to survive. I would see that - Danforth's authoritative place in society and his unshakeable 'justice' - as a key factor...

From memory... Loose monetary policy is when RBA buys government securities, increasing the money supply in exchange settlement accounts and putting downward pressure on the cash rate. This results in a fall in interest rates. If interest rates drop, it is cheaper for consumers and businesses...

Damn, my teacher gave us a sheet of definitions for these but I chucked all my HSC sheets out a few days back. I never completely understood them myself, but the general consensus from all my classes was: Validity: the experiment correctly tests the aim - i.e. all factors are kept constant...

I liked English. English and ext. 1 were actually my favourite subjects (we had the same teacher for both). He's really scary when he's angry, but it's because he's so scary that we always do our homework :P He was great fun too, making heaps of jokes with us and often coming out on the short...

That's good news. I initially thought it was something like that, but I got confused when it came to ranks. Where do our internal ranks come into play then?

Sorry if this has been asked before - I'm still a bit confused about how our internals and externals are used to calculate our ATAR D: Say I have a rank of 20-ish/100-ish in my internals for maths, but I hardcore cram it for the HSC exam (like I'm doing now!) and get a half-decent mark that...

I've been checking out uni courses and finally narrowed down my preferences to health sciences and science - pretty much health related stuff. I tracked onto psychology after my speech pathology phase (it's still there!) and looked into it. I'm getting interested in clinical psychology, so I...

I'm sure it is, mate, but not every person who can't tie their shoelace goes and chucks their shoe out the window so I'll take my chances

Hey guys, I'm doing past half-yearly papers and I got stumped on a question. Hoping I can get some help here. Question: In the launch of a particular satellite, the satellite was release from a rocket such that it moved into a stable orbit around the Earth. After the satellite had completed a...

I'm sorry to hear that D: I'm sure it will be fine if you discussed it with your teachers and principal. Might help to bring a parent or guardian with you or get them to write a note. The school can reschedule it for you and you can take them when you get back.

If you're writing a comparative essay, the two texts should be equally addressed. Assuming you're going to write this in 45 minutes exam conditions, I usually have about a page and a half (around 1200) words. So for me, one page on one text would be too much as it would outweigh the other. It...

I suppose it might help if you're aiming for a very competitive course and your year group has lots of high achievers or something. Best to aim for the best you can get, anyway. Always better to sprint ahead than fall short :P
