    Tell me about Australian High Schools!

    Well at my school, we had our designated sport day as Wednesday. So on Wednesdays we would wear "sports" uniform for the whole school day, attend classes until around 12:05pm and then the rest of the day was sport. During this sport time you either did grade representation sport (if you made the...

    Tell me about Australian High Schools!

    I graduated in 2016 but I think most of the things I would say are still true: Usually there are 4 school terms of around 10-11 weeks length, 2 terms in Semester 1 and 2 in Semester 2. Two weeks holiday between Terms 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4 and something up to 8-10 weeks between Term 4 to 1 of...

    How does Uni work?

    From my experience, you get the ATAR and then there's a few days or two to "update your preferences" for the first round.

    How does Uni work?

    Just to expand on this, you get 1 offer per round. Rounds can be found here: https://www.uac.edu.au/key-dates . Once you get an offer from each round you can accept the offer, delete that preference and then set your preferences up to receive the second offer that you want in the second round...

    16 units????

    Agree with Sida, I felt like 12 units in Year 11 was already a trek (hence I dropped to 10)

    English

    I did this as well and completely agree with Sida. 100% loved it alongside my obscure af Mod B text: In the Skin of a Lion.

    Subject Selection HELP!!!!

    Hi Anne, Assuming that you need to at least 12 units in Year 11 (not sure if this is still the case) I would probably choose Biology, Physics and Modern History and then in Year 12 drop 0/1/2 of the aforementioned 3 subjects as well as decided whether to choose Extension 2 Maths/English. I...

    Bachelor of Science vs Bachelor of Medical Science

    Science definitely opens up an alternative career depending on the majors you select (i.e. you could decide you have a hidden passion for Mathematics/Statistics/Computer Science and decide to progress into these fields), hard to say that for Medical Science. Very important to keep your options...

    Delta English Tutoring Review/Opinions Please

    It's unfortunate to hear that you didn't have as great of an experience as I did at Delta-I truly believe what they did for that Year 10 version of myself who could barely string an essay together was nothing short of a revelation (as would many of my peers). However, regardless of how I feel...

    dodgy internal ranks - four first places????

    I think this is very normal, I know cases of 20 ppl being tied 2nd for 3U Maths (where final marks differ by very minute decimals)

    Employment prospects in the Finance industry.

    You will get a lot of mixed opinions on this one, there will be a lot of deniers from people who do traditional business degrees and a lot of supporters from the technical STEM side so I'm going to provide some advantages of both sides so you can make your mind up yourself. I guess we'll start...

    Advice for group tutoring?

    Although I've retired from tutoring to focus on my career I used to primarily tutor in groups and occasionally in maths (I generally did Phys/Chem more). I set up a spare room in my house which had a whiteboard and two rows of desks and seats so it was literally a classroom-I would definitely...

    Overlap between past Physics Syllabus vs Current (NEW) Syllabus

    I am definitely not well informed about the new syllabus but from taking a quick look, Module 5: Advanced Mechanics: Projectile, Circular and Gravitational Fields have all been covered in Module 1: Space in the OLD HSC Module 6: Electromagnetism: This seems exactly like Module 2: M & G Module...

    USYD or UNSW?

    Well admittedly I know very little about UNSW Science but anyways mandatory honours doesn't sound too appealing imo. There was the 2017 and older Usyd BSc(Adv) which was definitely without honours and your current degree which is the current rendition of that degree is also without honours

    USYD or UNSW?

    I don't exactly see why Advanced matters so much lol, BSc and BSc(Advanced) are virtually the same thing and you can still combine both with Advanced Computing. Although I don't go to UNSW, taking a quick look at what they have, I don't think they have Advanced Science/Computer Science either...

    USYD or UNSW?

    Before 2018 USYD did have Science (Advanced) which was a 3 year degree but have since replaced it with Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Advanced Studies so it seems like 2 separate degrees. I don't really think advanced matters, it just means you are forced to do a certain amount of advanced...

    USYD or UNSW?

    I think this is what you're looking for: https://sydney.edu.au/courses/courses/uc/bachelor-of-advanced-computing-and-bachelor-of-science.html However you can also just do a Science degree at Usyd and major in Computer Science (yes it is part of the available science majors) + another major of...

    Keeping up with the times': HSC moves online

    Very interesting, there needs to be way more computing skills developed before university so this is a step in the right direction
