Wait lmao, it's so ez. I am so stupid. If you equate the f(x) and y =x, you rearrange you get the equation, and that gives the answer. LMAO, too rusty at maths. (So same thing as I said before, but you don't need to solve for the root of the equation, it's unneccessary) (Didn't actually try it...

Don't equations and their inverse intercept at y=x. (I don't even know if that's relevant, just something to consider). Then you could just find the root of the equation. Then equate, huzzah.

On a side note, why did you study so many degrees? Are you trying to collect them all? (Pokemon!) Edit: Actually curious, not intended to be offensive.

I mean I've heard (and kinda makes sense anyways) that schools might be bunching people at the top together so that they all get decent internal marks, done so by reducing the difference between them assuming that they do decently well as a whole. This way they all get as close as possible to...

I messed up. Smh. (Sorry for the misinformation) Luckily jimmysmith560 saved me from embarrassment.

From what I've heard, and some bias from a person who always thought that Go8 is the best choice: I've heard that there is a fair share of 'dropkicks' there, and as one would expect the atmosphere is not as academically inclined as Go8 universities (e.g. USYD, UNSW) where there is an extremely...

Wow! You are so cool for missing basically all of your senior years. Truly a golden era I must say :) Edit: Referring to how your cohort isn't lame, cause understanding the value of ATAR is lame

No way my guy starts talking about CS when they asked about sweng.

To be honest, the people on here probably don't really care about early offers. Just from what I've seen so far (or what I feel) the demographic of BoS consists of people who are pretty high achievers (let's just say 90+) and so the early offers are typically meaningless cause only most will...

I think we are just more knowledgeable and understanding of how ATAR doesn't mean anything really and have already entered the stage of "Oh ok, nice. I'm gonna go uni next year, and now let me carry on doing what I was doing".

I mean (no hard feelings) UAC has no obligation to allow you to participate in Dec R2 or Jan R1, so don't get your expectations too high. You can't do anything to change what happened, just hope for the best and see if they'll make an exception.

Thank you for the detailed response Jimmy. Absolute legend as always.

Bonus question: If anybody knows what is/would be the requirement to get the USYD scholarship, please tell me. Cause "academic merit" just doesn't help at all.

I've been offered a conditional scholarship offer from USYD (Sir William Tyree Scholarship), which I don't know when it will release. The other problem is that scholarships are supposedly released on the 23rd, but offers for Dec R2 are released on the 22nd, so if I don't put USYD as my top...

I don't think you should see maths as something you just do because it's a prereq or just something to allow you to do Engineering. Engineering is going to go into much more difficult maths (understatement), (MX2 is going to be covered at the start (in a somewhat quick matter) (just to show how...

Scaling is certainly a factor to consider when choosing subjects, no matter what people say, it still does play a role in the ATAR you get relative to the effort you put in. The subjects that you like aren't always filled with what you like/want to do (e.g. Like art ==> go into VA ==> Theory is...

Hiva posted faster than me. But what I have to say reinforces/supports what they have said, and also has a bit to add on I don't remember too much about the subject, but being better at maths, i.e. being in MX1 or even MX2 (kind of overkill for phys, but why not) is much more helpful than adv...

I don't remember all the kinds of proofs. Anything that requires algebraic manipulation should be quite straightforward (it's the minimum criteria you should meet), where things like MI inequality questions also go into this category. You typically will need to prove X > Y, so you can sub in/...

Also, the school opal card was always for use when traveling to and from school, which I would assume you wouldn't need to do so anymore since you already graduated (it says 2022 graduate on your profile). So yeah, not really relevant to you anymore anyways.

So basically when you turn 16 you got your concession verification card thing (the blue card with your name and school name on the back) which would have an expiry date. Essentially, if you turn 18 that year, and you graduate, the school won't be renewing your card and so it will end after the...
