    Some Tips from People Who Got Their Scripts Back

    I was under the impression that this was the case for marking in HSC Chemistry (well so my teacher told me on numerous occasions last year), namely that you would lose marks for incorrect chemistry or contradictions even if they were unnecessary e.g. if you added in an extra unnecessary equation...

    LAW advice, prequisites, ATAR requirements ect.

    Yes. That is correct but they have this elite athletes and performers scheme which I'm pretty certain can be used for law (since I had a few friends get into UNSW law under this scheme). Here's the information link: UNSW: The University of New South Wales - Sydney Australia - FUTURE STUDENTS And...

    LAW advice, prequisites, ATAR requirements ect.

    Aside from English (Advanced) there are no prerequisites for law. However to my knowledge most universities will make you combine it with another degree if you are doing undergrad and so you will need to check out prerequisites/recommended knowledge for that second degree. ATAR with law is...

    Usyd vs UNSW [accounting]

    I do Comm/Law at USyd and I think that Commerce at UNSW is better. However I chose USyd because I think that Law at USyd is better (so if you intend to combine Commerce with anything also consider which university is better for your second degree) and because they offered me a scholarship...

    Continuers languages

    The study of a language is a continuous process and naturally all that you learnt in terms of the language itself in Year 11 will be relevant for your HSC. I am not sure about Japanese but I know that for German for the HSC there were specific topics that we were given to focus on for speaking...

    B.COM/LLB or B.ARTS/LLB at Sydney

    I'm currently doing Comm/Law at USyd and if you want to do Comm personally I'd recommend that you keep the maths unless you really hate it/think that you'll do incredibly badly in it. Though the level of maths for first year Comm subjects is quite basic, you don't really progress much past basic...

    Need Help..because im screwed..

    It will depend on how much they're weighted e.g. 10%, 20% etc. (the less the better especially since trials are generally around 30-40%) and how well everyone else does in them. E.g. if you get 40% but everyone else failed as well then it will impact your total results less harshly. Just a note...

    HSC and how it's marked

    It's not exactly true but it is a somewhat accurate simplification. To calculate your overall HSC mark, BOS uses a combination of your external (written exam mark) and your internal (school assessment mark) which are averaged out to create your overall mark. Your external mark is what you...

    QTAC offers open?

    A couple of my friends got Medicine and Dentistry offers at UQ today so it seems that QTAC did open early. However it could never hurt to wait an extra day I suppose. Good luck.

    Any predictions on what the Germany HSC question might entail?

    They probably wouldn't completely abandon the trend just skew it so that the Weimar question extends past 1933 or the Nazism question begins earlier. Some aspects do have a pretty definite time frame though but I do agree that they probably won't have Question 1: 1919-1933 and then Question 2...

    <4 Days & I'm starting to feel sick T_T

    I completely feel your pain. My dad got quite serious infection a couple of weeks ago and I ultimately ended up getting something very similar. So now I'm taking anti-biotics, have a very heavy, very persistant cough, runny nose, fatigue and all I can do now is spend all day sleeping. I think...

    Macquarie Open Day

    It's exactly the same for me. I have no idea why I'm so tired on the Sunday but I haven't any work at all since trials. Regardless I'm still going to the Open Day. My friend is dragging me to the 2 hour Actuarial Studies lecture. It is scary how excited she is about Actuarial Studies but I am...

    University preferences

    You get your highest preference that you meet the ATAR requirement for (and as long as you meet any other specific requirements e.g. STAT for Pharmacy). For example if you had two preferences with these cut-offs: 1. Course A: ATAR cut-off 85 2. Course B: ATAR cut-off 94 And you ended up getting...

    Sydney Uni Live!

    Was I the only one who stayed for about 8 hours? I went to the Business Breakfast, went to about 5 lectures and then talked to around five different faculties about degrees, prospects, scholarships etc. Ended up leaving at around 4pm while getting there at 8:30ish. It was a good day overall but...
