    Should I do Medicine??

    This question has been asked every year and often around this time of the year. Chemistry is a pre-requisite for some medical schools, I recall JCU requiring Chemistry among other subjects. GAMSAT is very challenging from what I hear. UCAT isn't a walk in the park either. Getting an offer for...

    Medicine 😎

    Pearson Vue delivers all kinds of tests including the UCAT ANZ & they are international. Some of the best scores come from students in India & Singapore which isn't surprising. Singaporeans sit for the Cambridge GCE A levels & taking a second language is compulsory over there. India has...

    Medicine 😎

    The UCAT is seen as the first hurdle. You would need a certain percentile to get an interview; once you are invited, different medical schools have their own way of 'weighing' the interview score. For UNSW I believe it takes up 33% of the final score. Then they take the best 190 candidates...

    Under the Rural Entry Scheme the UCAT ANZ requirement, has to reach at least the 50th percentile to proceed to the interview stage of the application process. The Situational Judgement mark is not be considered. I believe for this year 2020 for 2021 entry a score of 2580 is the 50th percentile...

    Apparently, prep companies can be mentioned here but there is an absolute crackdown on the MSO. Any reference to it & the moderators take it down & issue warnings. Searching past threads on this I believe has been taken down too. 😯 or hard to find. Last year, NDAs have to be signed before...

    Is Tutoring really necessary

    Yeah, ATAR has to be a rank. The purpose is primarily to help an applicant to make the right degree choice to save the heartache of making a poor one. The HSC concept isn't perfect & that may be the reason why there are further assessments for courses like med where there is the UCAT & the...

    How to improve physics

    First and foremost you have to put a value on it. People tend to do well when they value what they do. Also Physics can be an "EXTREMELY' frustrating subject. That's the reason why you might hear students say to each other, "Hey, I found a really good explanation for this." And this help heaps ...

    HSC Physics Predictions / Thoughts

    Yeah, I put as friction increased with velocity (dynamic), the load torque on the motor will increase thus the rotor speed will reduce....... due to decrease back emf...... to increase the current and torque.

    HSC Extension 1 Mathematics Predictions / Thoughts

    I am not the best at maths but for the last part of question 13, involving f(x) and g(x) for both part (a) and (b) I used the same method, as if f(x)=g(x) then surely the derivatives of both functions can assumed to be equal. Note: 1) I may have read the question wrong. 2.) The method I used...
