I have been reading the comments from @idkkdi and @quickoats. Both of whom made valid arguments. Quite true what they said because securing a place in a medical program is a challenge, also I haven't seen any medical schools in NSW in exception to USYD that refers to standard Maths or/and...

Trump is an interesting character who was elected during a time when the American people basically had 'enough'. Recalling an American who commented during Trump's election bid, 'the rest of the world couldn't comprehend how angry we Americans are'. One of the reasons why Hillary couldn't cut...

If you can retain your spot in Adv Maths, I suggest that you do. Get help from tutors if you can. Also are you a SORII student? This subject scales better than most people think. Also, I take my 'hat off to you' for doing Bio, Chem & PDHPE. The thing about trying out for Med is that different...

'Premier Gladys Berejiklian confirmed students would return to school one day a week from May 11 and that teachers would be given priority access to coronavirus testing. Students learning remotely from home would begin returning to classrooms from May 11, Ms Berejiklian said, the third week of...

The schools might place greater emphasis on the year 12s since no one wants anyone to repeat another year. The other cohorts will be on the 'backburner' for now. The universities are already revising their entry requirements for some of their courses in light of recent events. I don't think...

'New data from the Korean Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) has thrown up a new theory about how we build immunity to coronavirus. The KCDC stated last week that there have been 91 documented cases of patients in Daegu, South Korea who had recovered from the coronavirus, left...

You are absolutely right to say, '99+ would be much safer' as an ATAR score into medicine because most applicants, the ones that get a 'look-in' by the various medical schools score around the 98 to 99 mark. Those who don't & are successful is a rarity. Either they score amazingly high in the...

'The Australian National University will admit undergraduate students next year based on their year 11 results in a pre-emptive bid to provide certainty for 2500 school leavers whose studies have been thrown into disarray by the COVID-19 crisis.' 'Applications are open until May 25 and offers...

Could anyone recommend a book on Proofs with examples and solutions at the level of the current MX2 syllabus? Or would the examples in the prescribed textbooks eg. Maths in Focus for HSC be sufficient. Also I have both Terry Lee's books written for the previous Maths syllabus, should I update...

Thank you for your reply. If I may quote from your response, "They said they would account for....a course that requires a certain grade..." Any idea how they might do this? If hypothetically, a student is considering applying for a different undergraduate course in the new year which requires a...

Due to the COVID-19 and disruptions, I understand that some faculties are awarding either a Pass/Fail only for term 1. This will not be used in WAM calculations. How would this work? How would students account for the affected units? Wouldn't it be tricky if let's say, the student need to...

I think NSW government will be watching Victoria closely before deciding if schools should be shut down. NESA might give individual schools more power to use their discretion around internal assessments. There might be more students applying for EAS through UAC when April comes around to apply...

The current situation isn't looking promising until a safe and effective vaccine is developed. Schools might start taking temperatures from year 11 & 12 students before entering the school building. 'Social distancing' so probably two desks apart from each student. Rural students will be...

Is this Queensland University? My friend who attends a regional high school had his assessments brought forward by a fortnight. Chaos at the school at the moment as students are scrambling to prepare for these assessments. Tis true a student from the UNSW Business School was diagnosed with the...

'Seriously - why the hell is English compulsory?' Because Hell is empty & all the devils are here. Tempest

I read the previous posts and found them helpful, thank you. By the way, I'm wondering if anyone has used the David Easdown's book on A first course on Linear Algebra and/or the 3000 solved problems on Linear Algebra Schaum series. Are they worth getting? In need of more questions to practice on.

It seems like everyone I talked to who achieved a high ATAR does either music or a language. Please feel free to correct me. :rolleyes:

Thank you for posting the 'Physics' link. I'm from rural NSW & if you ever release a book or booklet for sale on HSC questions and answers based on topics/modules, please let me know. I often come on this forum, a lot of good stuff here. :D

Hello, does anyone know where I could source questions that are grouped according to topics/modules for Chemistry and Physics? I'm willing to fork out the 'reddies'. Thanking you ahead if you have any suggestions. :cool:

The prescribed course material provided by your different courses would be sufficient in most cases. You may wish to order these from the bookshop so this will be an expense. Buying textbooks can be tricky. You may end up wasting both time and money. Best thing is to wait until your first...
