Maybe drop to General Maths. See if you do better.

Study time should not really be calculated using a formula- it varies person to person, subject to subject.

The Simple Gift seems quite popular...

Always adopt the mentality of aiming for the best possible outcome. But of course, don't get too anxious- put things into perspective i.e. it's worth 5%

Do the best you can, in any subject.

Uni Newcastle focuses more on interview and UMAT than an 99+ ATAR.

Definitely do a subject you like (or at least, won't hate). That way you are more likely to put in more effort and succeed in that particular subject.

I found Economics interesting, useful and enjoyable at the same time. It's applicable to so many things- even aviation-cost of wages for pilot, cost/benefit analysis of particular routes, etc, etc. Anyway, Physics is of course useful too. Ultimately it's up to you

Don't work yourself excessively, but at the same time try to do the best you can. You want to get into the mindset that you are aiming for the top, so then you will panic less in yr11 and 12. Yeah, enjoy yr 10.

Number of hours depends: on the individual, on how much time you feel like setting aside, etc, etc. I guess make sure you understand theory/concepts, and ask for help on any topic you have difficulty with. Just remember to study consistently.

Yes, I remember my experiment to determine refractive index of ice didn't quite go to plan

I think there's quite a bit more than 10.

Make sure you know all the theory concepts first, making sure to ask teachers/tutors for help if there are any holes in your understanding. Then do practice papers- your school's past exams for your internal assessments, and perhaps actual HSC papers if you have time.

Cadetships and internships are similarish- I guess cadetships tend to be for the duration of the cadet's degree, while internship/clerkships tend to be only partly i.e a few weeks/few months. Volunteering is just that- you don't get paid.

5. Lucky those who have 3 or less.

I wonder how they will be enforce noise restrictions

10 units is risky, but if you think your 10 units will be good, then it should be fine.

Many uni people I know just chill in the holidays.

Definitely do past papers, they'll help you discover holes in your understanding.

I heard Engineering is better at UNSW though
