    Bachelor of Commerce (Liberal Studies) at UNSW?!

    Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking this question. Is it possible to transfer into this course, say if you are doing commerce only or finance? The ATAR is quite high, I would like to do this course, but I don't think I'll get the ATAR. Is it easy to transfer?

    How'd everyone's first term of yr 12, the HSC go?m

    I think the best thing to do it make it up for the upcoming exams. Its still 7.5% of your ATAR and since its one subject its smaller than you think. I think.

    Going to a selective school

    Work your ass off. It won't be easy having good ranks there. However people at the school may also view you as competition since your new, and you've had to worker harder than them to get into the school. So become the threat. And believe in yourself.

    Ranks

    The best thing to do is go on topscores.info From there, search how many band 6s people get for their respective subjects. Based on this, you should be able to get your ranks - for example, if 10 people got band 6 for eco, that means you need to be in the top 10 to attain a band 6.

    Is it possible to get 98.00?

    By the looks of it its seems you WILL DEFINITELY get over 98. However keep in mind that English WILL count towards your ATAR so really work on improving that. However your rank for English is good - if possible just work on coming first, and sustaining an aveage of 80% Hope this helps :)

    Am I studying incorrectly

    I feel like most of business studies is common sense, and you can get away from rote learning to SOME extent, so long you understand the information, and keep yourself up to date with latest business news. Once you get used to seeing the terms constantly, the terminology sinks in and memorising...

    Is it neccessary to include a third paragraph in the essay

    I agree. Doing 4 paragraphs isn't actually hard to do. And I don't know what you are talking about - it will be more synthesised than a 2 paragraph essay. Not only will doing 4 paragraphs make is clear and straight to the point, it will also make sure you aren't going all over the place (which...

    Do what you like! Plus, if you are good in D&T theres a chance you could state rank. IF you are unsure, I advise you too keep your subjects - do the first few assessments and see how you go.
