    "study smart. not hard"

    Wrong. Studying hard is definitely not a waste of time. I'm pretty sure to a certain extent studying smart does coincide with hard work. Also, techniques for memorising notes such as those stated by bubbrub do not cater for everyone. You need to know what works best for you. I know that...

    Need advice from UTS law students.

    From your experience how have you found the law tutors, professors and academics at UTS? And if you are able to compare them to other uni's such as USYD mentioned above, do you feel that the teaching standards are better, lower or about the same at UTS?

    Who got 99+ without Extension maths or Physics?

    Actually that's a good thing you brought it up Scinery. I was also pressured into taking chemistry due to the whole "scaling myth" and it was the one subject that I really hated and didn't do that well in. It is also a testimony for year 10, 11 or year 12 students thinking of dropping a subject...

    Need advice from UTS law students.

    Who got 99+ without Extension maths or Physics?

    You don't need to do maths ext, ext 2 or physics to get 99. I recently got an ATAR above 99 with just Mathematics. I actually took up Maths extension in year 11, however, I dropped it before the start of year 12 due to its heavy workload that did not go hand in hand with English Extension 2...

    Hey melsc. I was wondering, in terms of the quality of education and future career prospects in legal litigation, what opportunities Maquarie University really offers? Also, with respect to the latter question in comparison to Usyd and UNSW. I am about to sit my HSC exam, and I sort of have...

    how are you finding the core study on ww1 09-ers?

    I kind of stuffed up Modern History in year 11 too cause i didn't care about it then :( WW1 is probably the easiest topic so far, although it's very context dense. I find Modern pretty challenging to be honest, especially when the question states evaluate or assess, I always end up blabbing on :(
