    UNSW Commerce

    Is the demand for B Commerce high? Just wondering because if I receive 5 bonus points I get an ATAR of 98.25 and just wondering whether I would get in or not since I'll be competing against other people with higher ATARs + their own bonus points for places in the course. Thanks.

    mx2 hsc

    Normally, I think questions 6-8 require much more thought than questions 1-5. With 6 questions now, do you think they will still have 3 of these harder types of questions or do you think it would be more reasonable to just have 2?

    Are HSC questions similar to that of the last two exercises on Conics in Fitzpatrick? The reason I ask this is because I am having a bit of difficult dealing with some of these questions (guess its just one of my weak topics) by myself, tending to take glances at the worked solutions.
