    is it easier to attain a high ENTER (VCE) compared to a high ATAR (HSC)?

    I'd say easier than both VCE and HSC would be the Queensland system. You have ongoing assesment all year, which includes about 2 exams and 1 assignment each semester for each subject. In order to balance this we have a test called the QCS (Queensland Core Skills Test) which every OP-eligible...

    ATAR guessing Game

    I just finished grade 12 in Queensland, so if anyone is interested: OP (Overall Position) goes from 1-25. An ATAR of 99 - 99.95 is equivalent to an OP 1, and is usually achieved by the top 2% of the state. The distribution of OP scores is bell curved, so the majority of people get around...

    complex stuff

    im from qld and we had to use de moivres theorem to simplify radicals: (a+bi)^n = (rcis(theta))^n = r^ncis(n(theta)) = r^n[cos(n*theta) + isin(n*theta)] z = (-12 - 16i) ^1/2 r = sqrt((-12)^2 + (-16)^2) = sqrt (400) = 20 theta = tan^-1 (-16/-12) = tan^-1(4/3) [3rd quadrant...

    bachelor of applied science versus bachelor of science?

    What are the pros and cons of both, and will I have a better chance of getting into research or medicine with one as opposed to the other?

    Introducing: Dentistry at La Trobe University

    I want to apply with what will hopefully be an average OP 1. not sure what ENTER that is. Is there any point if the first round offer is like 99.7+. I'm not super-keen on moving to Bendigo, but I'd love dentistry. Is it worth paying the money to apply?

    THAT intense? I believe you, but is it really that bad?

    BSc in 2yrs instead of 3yrs

    GAMSAT -> med. I love science, and am passionate about it. So if that doesn't flow, I'll do research of some type :)

    BSc in 2yrs instead of 3yrs

    Thank you for that info. It's not about being in a rush. I really want to do med, so I want a short-cutted degree -> GAMSAT -> med. It'll prepare me for the intensity of med as well.

    BSc in 2yrs instead of 3yrs

    Thanks. Do you know anyone who has done this? If so, how did they (or are they) coping? Is it a good/bad idea? Is it even possible to condense it into 1 yr?
