Masters is a post-graduate degree that is separate. Honours is an extra year you have to qualify for at the end of your undergraduate degree. You can do them by coursework or research. And yes. More qualifications, so... benefit is clear.

i only wear jackets though i have this one jacket that zips up so you might've mistook that for a jumper

If you apply the same logic to maths, you miss the point. Point of mathematics at school, I think, is to be a tool for clarity of thought, logic, and problem solving. It's not so you can learn lovely properties about ellipses, or angles in circles, or how to solve certain equations, etc.

You really shouldn't determine what subjects to drop based on an estimate of how you think you'll go, which is scaled - which is something you have no control over.

Reading time is reading time. In reading time, the only thing you really should be doing is reading the paper, looking around the room nondescriptly to see if others are freaking out, and if so, praying to your God or equivalent deity to lessen the pain of the next two or three hours.

Motivation for topics would be nice. I find them interesting, and others might stop their inane "omg we're never going to use this in life - no one will ever use this in life".

Well, if you dropped - you'd have 10 units. How are you going in those? Because if you say "oh yeah btw, coming dead last in chemistry" - then suddenly your Chemistry mark is going to count to your ATAR. And your reason for dropping is partially so you can study. Are you sure you'd use the...

In times like these, you always go to the Handbook and read about it:http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/specialisations/2013/InternationalBusiness.html

Yes, research should be all year round, was the advice I got. But when it comes to say... July, so a month before it's due - it's no real use to pick up another book and read that, unless you can finish it, implement new ideas and then refine them. Though research should start from Day 1 too...

Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon To be fair, who would?

First year uni? You'll just revise some of 3u and 4u, the relevant stuff. For instance, you'll relearn integration, complex numbers, etc. You'll be introduced into matrices and linear maps. More rigourous definitions for things like limits and the like, so yes - there is an emphasis on proof and...

Well, if everyone else did comparatively worse - then of course. I fought my way from mid-table in English to second.

Was it successful?

My counter question is why you're going to spend holidays doing something you can learn at no real extra cost right now? General maths is simply not enough for uni level studies - you learn pretty much nothing of use. So you'd be wasting your time there.

Though to be fair, some of the questions are pretty good.

3 hour topic test? m8 Aren't topic tests supposed to be like an hour or so... what school has three hour topic tests?!
