    Should I 'cheat the system' a tiny bit at Macquarie?

    Hey I just looked at my enrollment and realized that my required 'People Unit' has been entered in as my 'Planet Unit' for some reason. I have spent quite a while dwelling on this and am certain that it is not listed as a Planet Unit. Now here is what I am debating: I had previously planned...

    First year student: Buying textbooks now or later...

    Has anyone done the 2005 exam? Why is it comparably easy?

    Hey, I've done quite a few of the past papers, 2010, 2009, 2008, etc. And I've struggled with each (.ie there is not one Question where I am getting 100% in). However the 2005 exam was much better. It was easier and I found myself scoring around 85-88% (as compared to around 70-75%.) Anyone...
