Resiliency is the human capacity to bounce back from bad experiences, or thrive in spite of hard times and difficulties.

"If your mind can accept that something is achievable, it will find a way to attain that thing."

"The amount of effort it takes to fail is the same amount of effort it takes to succeed as far as the mind is concerned. It is your responsibility to provide it with the right seeds of thought."

"You need to start planting apple seeds to grow apple trees. Make sure you plant it as early as possible so it will take time to nourish."


WITHOUT STRUGGLE there is no progress.

Famous lines by famous people.

"Now, young warlock. Do not let this dishearten you. If you do let it dishearten you for a week, a week will become two. Then it will dishearten you the third week and so forth. Hence it will dishearten for weeks for all positive integers of You must learn to be resilient and fly." - SpiralFlex

Also I believe it's the human convention to "hug" somebody in a time of emotional discomfort. Here,

*Half hugs*

lol, loving the induction quote!

Dude dont worry, i got mid 50s for my chem half yearly and another assessment task. I ended up ranking 6th in a cohort where at least 3 people will get a b6. Moral of the story get over it and move on.

97 won't get you med in UNSW or Usyd but may get you in UWS.

Anyway, I'd be pretty sad if I failed my first assessment because for some shit reason, it's worth more than my half yearlies =/.

Try to do well in other assessments or maybe scab some marks.

"You may commence your reading time..."

The atmosphere grew tense, in unison, the crowd sunk deep into their papers, this was a strange phenomenon because only moments ago, "it's only prelim, who cares!" My reading time routine was the usual, "Question one is easy, so is two, and three, and four, hmm... question 5, curve sketching, that could take a while, leave it to the end. What about question 6? Hmm... geometry, this is what I struggle the most at, must concentrate here."

The clock read, "12:29:30". Thirty seconds to go. I realised the bottom corner of my exam was saturated, sweat had been absorbed and became a catalyst for chromatography, the black "Page 1" mixture physically separated into it's base components of magnificent cyan, magenta and yellow coloured pigments. What was I to be nervous about? For the previous two consecutive nights I was a slave to Cambridge's extension sections and '500 - Internal Server Error' didn't really help much either. I had persevered and was rewarded with knowledge, I had toiled based on the promise that this knowledge would result in a great exam mark.

Calculator in linear I/O mode? Check. Calculator in degree measure mode? Check. Calculator in Math mode? Check. The clouds passed and the afternoon sun threw itself onto my table, parts of the incoming incident light rays were approaching the critical angle. This was anticipated, i was prepared for this situation. SHIFT + MODE (SETUP) + DOWN + 5. Constrast was adjusted to the maximum darkness setting. The clock now said "12:29:59" and seemed to be stuck there.

"You may commence your exam..."

Again, in unison, the crowd withdrew their apparatus. Most were conservative and sported Bic Cristal Ms and Paper Mate Kilometricos, the girl beside gripped a novelty pen with a large pink feather. I chose to conform and brought a Paper Mate Profile 1.4B, I preferred the large tipped pens for Mathematics as writing space wasn't the concern but comfort was valued. The ink flowed as smoothly as current flows through HgBa₂Ca₂Cu₃O₈ at 134 K.

"Therefore the perimeter of the larger square is 150cm..."

Question 4 completed with an hour to go. This was good, I could spend 30 minutes on the last question and knock down question 5 in 15 minutes and have 15 minutes to check my answers. The uneasiness calmed and I proceeded to write my name on a new booklet for question 6. "The points D and E lie on BC and AC respectively so that AD. What the fuck. Oh wait... HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS." It was much easier than originally anticipated, my geometric proofs were straightforward and neat and tidy.

The last section was completed in under ten minutes, a huge sigh of relief ran surged as I thought, "I have finished the exam with 30 minutes left. Time to check my answers." I proceeded with a systematic approach and substituted each solution back into the questions. Correct. Correct. Correct. The 'factorise' questions could not be checked this way, instead, I expanded them to try to end up with the original question. Correct. Correct. Correct.

"There are five minutes left..."

Question 4. Correct. Question 5.

FFFUUUUUUU-

and i eventually ended up with first place...

Well...
Usyd: Median/maximum/minimum mark = 99.95. Don't need to sit UMAT for this. Only requirement is 99.95. However, I think if there are too many people applying, they use UMAT marks to differentiate.
UNSW:Median mark = 99.6. Around 5 people under 99 get in each year and to do so, you would have to get amazingly high in the interview and umat.
UWS: Need around 95.5+. If you live in GWS region, you need 93.5+. I think they allocate a lot of their places for GWS applicants.
