    How many days at uni per week?

    Depends on your course and subject. I'm going to be doing commerce/law which has 14 contact hours a week so I should be able to fit that in three days :) Things like med or engineering have a lot more hours

    Transferring to UNSW Medicine?

    Just about your first question in transferring to UNSW med, I think you'll find it extremely difficult (i.e. look at other unis- hopefully someone else can give info on those). I think from another thread your ATAR was 94.25 or something? The ATAR equivalent needed to get an interview at UNSW...

    Maths extension 2! Help asap

    I don't think you understand... I don't mean to be slack but we're not (well I'm not anyway) going to go through and type up solutions for 11 questions so you can just copy the answer and get 25/25 when you didn't know how to do half of them- that hardly seems fair to the rest of your class. I...

    Maths extension 2! Help asap

    This. If you give it a decent go and are still confuddled with a question, I'm more than happy to help but I'm NOT, and I'm pretty sure everyone else here as well, going to do your assignment for you- that's just lazy

    Did you end up leaving USyd as preference 1? And omg I need to meet you one day haha- I still have no idea what you look like (brb- I'll try FB stalk you). And your inbox is full

    Share an HSC success story you know of!

    Haha oh you guys... It's not a very inspiring story but ok, I'll pick out some spots from my journey when things looked a bit crap and hopefully you guys get some inspiration from there. I'll post it when I finish writing it

    Physics Band 6

    I'll be 100% honest, if you know your content, a 92 is very possible. Once you're in the band 6 territory, HSC science becomes a game-> if you learn how to answer questions well so the markers can't dock you, you can walk into the HSC and be expecting a high mark because YOU ALREADY KNOW THE...

    Can I get 99.95 with these subjects?

    Yeah you're confusing scaling and aligning a bit but I'll ignore that. Maybe 85+ will beat an 80 in legal studies (I'm not sure- haven't looked it up). The question is though, what general maths mark will beat a 95/96 in chemistry? And the answer is none. The guy/girl that topped the state in...

    HSC 2013 MX2 Marathon (archive)

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon It was a joke... Twink gave the answer as 0 and Herioc said it had to be in terms of a,b,c -> thus my answer

    HSC 2013 MX2 Marathon (archive)

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon 0(a+b+c-3ab +2(a^2)b - c^3)=0 (that's in terms of a,b,c)

    Quick question on HSC verbs

    You definitely do not need an evaluation. You should have advantages and disadvantages though generally (depending on the question though). Having said this, your chem teacher will probs be the one marking your school assessments so even if they're wrong, answer the way they want so you don't...

    can i do med at unsw without UMAT? (atar 99.4+EAS)

    Well considering your ATAR is well below the .95 cutoff and that interviews were done two days ago, I would say no sorry

    can i do med at unsw without UMAT? (atar 99.4+EAS)

    ^Very solid table, I'm going to dl that for future reference cheers :) And yeah, what I've heard from everyone is that the USyd interview is a technicality and everyone makes it.

    can i do med at unsw without UMAT? (atar 99.4+EAS)

    USyd is 99.95 ATAR, Griffith uni in QLD iirc is around 99.75 from what I've hear from my friends and I think places like JCU look at your application a lot but you need a 99's ATAR to be competitive. Hopefully someone who wants to do med and knows the system can clarify

    Advice Needed

    Yes. Relax. It's year 11. I didn't do much in year 11, picked up my game in year 12 and ended up doing quite well overall. (heaps of people have been asking me for tips so I've been writing up a massive post lol- I'll post it soon when I'm done and link you)

    What is your first preference?

    Probably a few reasons for this: 1. A lot of people can make it into law with a much lower ATAR than 99.7 with the AAA scholarship 2. Most people on 99.90 ATAR will go to UNSW because they get scientia there but not outstanding achievement at USyd 3. A lot of people doing commerce/law will head...

    Riproot's awesome raw marks

    Realise you can't change it whether you're pissed or not so move on and try to enjoy uni etc. from now on-> THAT you can change, not what happened in the past. (and BTW, the 95% average doesn't mean much because your school might have just marked easily)

    What is your first preference?

    Combined Law at UNSW (commerce/law)

    HSC 2013 MX2 Marathon (archive)

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon This. When I was doing past papers, I could hit 110+/120 pretty consistently. In the HSC, I think I got 82/100 raw. It wasn't even that I was stressed or anything, I felt fine but idk- it just happens.
