Drove to Uni today for the science workshop. Most of my classes are in the main buildings - all the ones near the quadrangle place - so I chose to park on the other side of Parramatta Rd near Arundel Street. Turns out it's either full, paid parking or only 2-hour parking. Ended up driving to...

Never did biology in high school. Molecular biology and genetics (MBLG1001) has no prerequisite but has assumed knowledge of junior biology. I don't want to waste my time doing a biology unit in first semester if I don't need it. Was thinking of doing some self learning in the winter break...

http://escape38.com/how-to-get-motivated/ Not sure about you guys, but I've gotten really lazy these days. So what better way to regain motivation than by writing about it? Though, I really need to plan out these posts, haha. Keep ending up in a direction different to the one in my head...

We've all surely heard this phrase from a disgruntled friend before. Or maybe those words were uttered from your own mouth. Whichever it may be, most students simply believe results directly correlate to the amount of study prior to an exam. - In Year 11, I did Music 2. Since Year 5, I...

Looking up on the Usyd website, this course has its own page for future undergraduates. The ATAR cut-off is also higher than regular Bachelor of Science. Can't most people enroll into Master of Nutrition after they've finished their Bachelor of Science? By the sounds of it, it doesn't sound...

In the General Board, BoS has sub-forums for cars, politics and real estate. It strikes me strange that there are no sub-forums for different religions and spirituality. I guess maybe there's no demand or something happened in the past that caused the removal of such a sub-forum.

HSC School Ranking: 2012: 15th 2011: 8th My Results So Far: Extension 1 Mathematics: HSC Mark of 49/50 (Did accelerated 3-unit and I'm guessing this doubles to make 97-98/100 since I'm doing 4-unit Extension 2 Mathematics: 23/60 English Advanced: 20/169 Chemistry: 15/109 Physics: 5/80 Need...

Went to school today for sign out sheet and saw my friends and classmates selling their textbooks. Never bought any textbooks during high school (don't believe in them), but my friend was too lazy to sell his, so I bought four of them for $20. By lunch I had sold all of them (was tough since...

I looked at the sample answers from Board of Studies and was wondering what the convention for writing ions and radicals is. Is H+ and OH- fine? Or should they be H+ (aq) and OH- (aq)? For chlorine radicals, should you put a dot next to Cl to represent an electron? IE. Cl - (g) as...

This video has been circulating the internet recently, spreading out to all social media outlets. It's going viral. The problem with the video is its hidden agenda: selling gold and silver. Whoever produced the video is trying to get viewers to invest so that they, the company, can make a...

Hey 2014'ers (and 2014+'ers), so you're reached your final year of high school and maybe you're feeling a bit anxious about the upcoming year. Lots of work to do? Daunting ATAR aims? Well, I guess the biggest thing stopping you from studying and getting the results you want is...

To the 2014ers, you may have students from this year whom had the misfortune of pathways. Don't shun them. Don't think badly of them. Some students are not academically gifted or go through a rough year when they do year 12. The one thing I feel bad about in my last year of school was not...

Ok, I lied. It takes more than a single week to learn a syllabus. It takes well more than a week to do the past 10 years of practice papers. It takes more than a week to create, consolidate and compile 12 units worth of notes. But you only have 1 week! I'm not trying to stress you guys out...

I hope not. I'm pretty happy with my first related (used it for first assessment and trials), but I'm really lazy with my second one. Have they ever specifically asked in the previous years to include to related texts? Do you think they'll do it this year?

This doesn't really apply for all you graduated year 12's but more for the younger years: How well do you know your school? It wasn't till I nearly graduated that I realized there were so many doors and rooms I had never visited. I can guarantee that there are countless cool places you...

I must not be human or something, because I honestly have never felt stressed about the HSC. I'm usually uber relaxed before an exam and never really dwell on it afterwards like most people do. I mean I got slaughterhouse-5'ed in my Ex 2 Maths trials. During the exam I couldn't do most...

I went to the University of Sydney Open Day like 2 weeks ago to decide on what courses I could potentially take next year. I'm really interested in science, ranging from chemistry to physiology. But according to all the uni students I asked, doing Bachelor of Science requires 30+ contact...

Was thinking of buying a van/car after HSC and travelling around. But I then learned that greenslip - that compulsory insurance for pedestrians or whatever - costs like $1000 per year. Why has the price gone up after a few years? Do you guys know any ways of finding cheaper deals? Most...

Hey guys, I don't post much on this forum, but I guess I lurk around here every so often. Anyways, I know the UAC applications are around the corner, and some of my friends are stressing with what courses to put first, whether they'd get in, what uni to pick, which semester to start in, etc...
