Hey guys, I'm struggling to decide between 2 courses for university; economics/maths or PPE in UNSW. Initially I was going to do economics/maths which is more of my ballpark but I want to do PPE for a postgrad overseas in the future. Which one do you think I should choose?

cheers

Someone in my school got 99.95 with no maths at all. Granted he did get state ranks in 4 subjects lol.

Pretty good subject I'd say; I'm looking to do it in university. Got a lot of content in it and a lot of memory combined with a fair bit of common sense. Screwed up my trials tho; thank god it was only 15%

Only real holiday is the December ones before Term 2 starts I'd say; after that its pretty much a constant grind until the HSC- except for maybe a week or two after trials where nobody bothers to study.

I definitely would prefer to do all subjects for the HSC. In regards to cases, by the time 9th November rolls around cases should have gone down and vaccinations should be up to 70-80% so I hope that they do do the HSC for all subjects. Especially since people have worked so hard the entire year...

Yeah cool I don't want to do medicine so cool. I'm just really worried because my parents do put alot of pressure on me to do well and most likely aren't going to be very happy with my marks. Btw what WAM should I aim for to get into a good UK uni?

Hey guys, Kinda screwed up my eco trials, got about rank 20. However, thank god its only 15% and as I did well in other assessments previously I should be about rank 10-11 within my school. Usually about 13-14 students typically get band 6's and I'm worried now that my atar won't be high enough...

Also, just a side question does anybody else hate "to what extent" questions or is it just me? Literally all my modern history essay questions where to what extent and I hated it lol

My trials are open book as well but they reduced the weighting to 15% and split the other 15% across the other assessments. I was hoping that I could use trials to lift my ranking by a significant margin, which granted I can still do as I was pretty confident with my trials so far, but now the...

What do you mean by "my story"? What I'm saying is an opinion not a story. I do disagree with some points that you said earlier but I don't feel I am "nitpicking information"- although that is my opinion. I'm sorry if I've come across as offensive or rude; that was not my intention.

Apologies about misunderstanding your first sentence. I agree that there are many forms and types of anxiety; it can be labelled a serious mental health issue when irrational and interferes with an individual's daily life.

How do you know that they're using anxiety as an expression rather than an actual issue? Anxiety is an actual mental health issue and is a very serious problem, like all mental health issues. The problem is anxiety is ridiculed by a lot of people and that makes it worse. Having sympathy for...

I'm not saying she shouldn't work hard- of course she should try her hardest and do as well as she can. I'm just saying if her end result isn't as good as what she expected then it's ok; the lockdown has been hard on all of us and uni's are offering special placement programs etc. I wouldn't...

I think it is important you do study. However, your ATAR isn't the be all end all by any means. I would not say the HSC is your future; your ATAR does not define future success. Certainly, in multiple echelons of society employer's do not really care about your ATAR- I believe they'd see your...

Yeah a decline in the abundance and proportion of international students will mean that it is easier to acquire a placement in university courses. Even scholarships should be easier to obtain, especially since universities will take into account the debilitating impact of the current situation...

Yeah my trials are now open book and only 15%; such a joke.

My school has reduced trial weighting to 15% and spread the other 25% across the other yr12 exams. RIP my internal mark lol

I do believe schools will come up with a partial solution to cheating. Of course, there is no real way to ban cheating without someone watching your every move. People who cheat in general should feel ashamed of preventing honest people from doing better in school and possibly having a better...
