My chem teacher told me only 4.31% of the state got a band 6 in chemistry, which is significantly low as compared to other years where it was about 7.5-9.5%. And only 13% got band 5 as compared to 18-21% in previous years. So in the scheme of things, chemistry may have scaled very well in terms...

IMO, if you go to a selective school, you are quite significantly advantaged, increasing your chances of getting an ATAR 95+. This not only because your cohort is excellent, its because there is more pressure and competition to do well, so your easily motivated to do well. I'm sure many assume...

Hi, I'm thinking of doing an arts major in music at Usyd next year, and I'm hoping to get some insight into this course. I didn't do any music for HSC, but I have some knowledge of music theory. So as the title asks, is Arts music an interesting major to pursue?

Wow, I want to do this course so i can do medicine as well. And believe it or not, but I'm also planning to major in music too. Although I didn't do any music for HSC (because teacher is a scum), i know some music theory and stuff, so hopefully i can make the most of this course.

North Korea = Best Korea. Communism > Capitalism.

Wow, Thanks UncoKane. It sucks to hear the course is taught poorly, especially at a highly regarded uni like Sydney. My Dad also told me that Physiology was difficult and required a lot of time and determination. But I guess I have to do it, in order to do pharmacy and medicine. And is it easy...

Hi, I'm planning to do a BSc/BA next year at Usyd with a major in Physiology. I would like some general insight into the pro's and con's of the course, and what junior units are recommended when undertaking this major. I'm planning to do graduate medicine or pharmacy, so I guess either...

90.85!!!! Smashed my aim by 5. So pleased.

Over the moon, and dancing naked in room. English 87 (0 study) Biology 91 (WINNING!!!!) Business 87 (WTF!!! I wanted B6. Oh well) Chemistry 80 ( expected 85+ but happy) Drama 87 *tears of joy Maths..... lol

Hi, I just want some sought of estimate from this info. English Adv: 14/21... 78% Raw Maths 2U: 28/40... 66% Raw Biology 1/36... 90% Raw Chemistry 3/25 88% Raw Business Studies 1/25 87% Raw Drama: 3/11 72% Raw School Rank: 200-220 Thank you :D

Ok, firstly, If your teacher recommends it than do it. Trust me if you do advance you will be competing with really talented people in the state- remember english is an art and is not easy. It only scales well if you get band 5 or 6. Band 4 and below, and your atar could be hurt badly. Standard...

What do you guys think the cut off for a band 6 will be this year??? <85?

I put down water, but its wrong. Silly me didn't bother to read the question and see that it was pentahydrate, so it was actually donc. sulfuric acid. Does anyone think i will get atleast 1 mark for the equation and explanation (like error carried forward- lol)

Wow thanks, more than I bargained for!!!

Any idea which band i'll get for a raw mark of 69-74????????

Yes the numbers 0.1586 sounds very familiar, and I think I got that too. And BaSO4 is used to absorb the indicator and by being a white colour the indicator colour can be clearly seen.

Well I'm actually kinda interested in studying Theatre and Performance at UNSW as a major in BA. Is it a worthwhile major? Fun? Interesting? Challenging? Just looking for any insights or opinions of the course. Your replies will be greatly appreciated.

Wow. That answer will definitely get you full marks. What did you write in that stupid collaboration and communication of scientists question?

How did everyone answer that Epidemiology question. I couldn't remember the exact features or whatever, but I did talk about observing/ analysing the diet, environment and genetics of those who had the disease and comparing to those who didn't have it. I elaborated on each aspect, but would this...

I did DNA hybridisation (My teacher said it was correct= YAY!), genome maps, inheritance and evolutionary patterns, common genes, and just to be a smart arse i made up some BS about comparative gene cascading in the similar development of tissue through gene expression- LOL but at least it...
