    Bachelor of Arts (Economics major) vs Bachelor of Economics at USYD

    What is the difference between the two? Is the Bachelor of Economics more 'employable'? If my interests are broad, would the arts degree be preferable?

    Sneaking into lectures/classes?

    If you are not studying at a particular university, is there anything stopping you from walking onto campus and attending random lectures? Besides the obvious issues of not knowing times or potential ethical issues. Are rolls marked? Would you be able to push this even further and attend actual...

    Are there any uni courses which are permanently unattainable because of a low atar?

    I'm talking in regards to courses which you may not be able to transfer into, or things similar to that. I'm just trying to figure out the importance of the atar in the long term.

    Can I get 90-95?

    After approximately 40-45% of internal marks being completed, I have rankings of: At a school ranked 35-45 Advanced English: =90/150 (Low band 5) (Mark of 70%) Mathematics: =95/115 (Mid band 4) (Mark of 50%) Business Studies: =4/36 (Band 6) Modern History =4/45 (Band 6) Economics 5/26 (High Band...

    How is school rank relevant to HSC marks?

    I go to a school ranked 40-30 in the state, I want to get clear how (if at all) this is beneficial to alignment/moderation. If I receive an raw assessment mark of 80/100 in Adv. English, is this scaled up? I know gaps between ranks also plays a part, but it is all largely unclear to me.

    Assumed knowledge

    I don't think I went well in the 2 Unit exam and am considering dropping to general. I'm not struggling with the content, it was a generally hard exam but I know it does count towards my atar. Is dropping to general and learning everything necessary in the break a viable option? I see a...

    2 Unit or General?

    I'm in a slight dilemma and would like some advice. Basically, I should be on course to reach somewhere around my atar goal of 95 without 2U Math (as it stands right now). I actually decided to start working in math this year but after a relatively hard exam (for 3 Unit students as well), I'm...

    Double Degrees

    This may seem somewhat obvious but I'm looking for clarification. I'm fairly keen on doing economics, philosophy, social/political sciences etc. something interesting of that nature at Uni. Doing one degree for 3-4 years seems extremely limited and unexciting to me. Am I able to do 2 degrees if...

    What is Prelim Economics actually meant to consist of?

    We had our test which was somewhat easy but I was rather unprepared for so I'll probably get a pretty average mark. I was looking over the syllabus and it turns out that 1/4 of the test was on hsc stuff eg. MPC and Injection/Leakages. Is this just us being pushed so we get an super mark in the...

    Individuals who only talk about 4chan and memes.

    I'm talking about all the stupid inchoate humans who do nothing more than regurgitate the crap they spent worshipping for 4+ hours the day before to people who don't give a shit. Everyone has interests, I have interests including the internet. I've laughed at some horrendously pointless...

    Sources for internal/external influences on business?

    I do consider myself quite adept at understanding all of the content I have come across thus far in Business Studies. Though I am struggling somewhat with the first part of my assessment, I am required to create a media file consisting of ten articles compiled from a wide range of sources eg...

    What does HSC business studies consist of?

    Thus far, pretty much the majority of my class just does it to bludge. I am one of the few who actually try but so far it is complete basic stuff as in goods/consumers, types of businesses, legal structure etc. I find this stuff mind numbingly boring considering I did commerce and doing the...

    Advanced English right now is the biggest load of shit.

    The module of belonging itself does not sound that bad. I don't know what other schools are doing but relating it Australian identity has got to be the most mind numbing pseudo intellectual exercise ever. I don't know how but they managed to sneak in year ten Australian history into English and...

    Doing economics, business and legal.

    Firstly, I'd like to say that I've been lurking around here for a while and decided to finally register. This is a pretty sweet forum I must say. Anyway, I loved commerce in year 9 and 10. I didn't top it but I didn't really try to be honest although I did manage to get 58/60 on the yearly...
