What about Personal Finance? Makes a lot of sense to do that as a stand alone finance unit for someone not studying commerce. I helped a friend study for it and it seemed pretty well run, all of the lectures are freely available on youtube and I think there were a few in person classes...

Not sure what you get taught in IPT, but just some general comments related to databases - some of these points are likely closer to the university or industry level but it's still some food for thought. What are the keys of the entities involved? What is "contact details"? I think this needs...

There's many ways they can offset the reduction in the length of the semester. I can't speak for UNSW, but when UTS switched to trimesters they had to cut some of the fat from the subjects and do some restructuring to account for the shortened semester. Stuff like shifting administrative...

You should be allowed to edit your signature, I checked permissions just then. How are you trying to set it? For future reference, refer to this post: https://boredofstudies.org/threads/bored-of-studies-new-website-user-guide-and-faq.387608/post-7309807 To get the signature permission can be...

You do learn about coding, for most students this might be the more challenging and memorable part. In terms of theory, you'll cover some ethics issues etc., basics about hardware/computing and different software development approaches. But most of year 11 and 12 theory is centred on the...

Economics at UTS works a bit differently to how it does at UNSW, from my understanding UNSW has a microeconomics/macroeconomics split while UTS has Economics For Business 1 (core) and Economics For Business 2 (eco major or elective) which both cover a bit of micro and macro. That makes...

Best way to make a section active is to post in them :P I recall in 2011 (well, almost always) the SDD section was pretty dead, but around and during the HSC it became pretty active because a few people started making/posting in threads and then others would join in.

There's only so many "programming" subjects you can do without repetition/being better off self studying and it's not really the goal of universities to provide you with a diverse range of experience with different platforms/techstacks as the core part of a course. So after a few intro...

I've definitely heard of expensive wood work major projects (admittedly, in the hundreds rather than "thousands" though). I didn't study textiles or DT, so can't give any further info on costing. If you can, it'd be worth reaching out to graduates from your school that performed well to get...

According to twitter, the image they used was a photoshoped stock image of a Polish soldier. Also apparently breached some convention by using the ADF in a party political ad.

I'm not familiar with the current topics/setup, but there always used to a cycle for the area of study questions. The first year had a straight forward question and usually requested one or more related texts, the final year would have harder and unpredictable questions and generally request two...

Buying a house in Baulkham Hills won't get you a place in BHHS, it's fully selective. CTHS would just be one (small) factor in Cherrybrook house prices. Some parents in Cherrybrook also send their kids to private or selective schools.

Baulkham Hills is selective and one of the more competitive schools to get a place in, I would expect most parents sending their kids to Cherrybrook instead of BHHS would be doing so because the kids didn't make it into BHHS (whether they didn't get the marks, or didn't take the test). A...

Schools don't just suddenly get turned into selective because they perform well, so agree with the above unless there is some whispers to the contrary. With the metro and growth in the North-West, I think the schools in the area will probably have their hands full without needing to attract out...

It's still a valid point though, does minimise the benefits. If the USyd course is 4 rather than 5 years, you might be financially better off by getting employed a year earlier. If you consider the income, super (+ extra year of compounding) and value of a years experience it'd definitely be a...

I'd look around for private tutors, given the recent dramas there might be a few ex-Delta tutors around or similarly qualified individuals staying away from tutoring centres. From what i've gathered in other threads, it seems Delta have specialised tutors for given schools. Those tutors can...

But wasn't it a 5k pa scholarship? That would mean the MQ cost would be 5 * (9-5) = 20k, so they'd be 16k ahead at MQ.

You'll probably be fine with the readiness survey assuming that the practice is a good representation, but as Drongoski said it's probably still a good idea to look into the relevant 3U topics.

I don't know how you add it to your study plan, I just know that as it's not a core/major subject it would take the place of an elective. There should be more info on the website for the readiness survey. If you can't find how to add it, then I'd suggest enrolling in and picking a good time...

If you are considering pharmacy, i'd recommend chemistry. That will cover the assumed knowledge/prereqs you need, and help get over your fear of prac assessments. It was the same at my school iirc, either 1 or 2 and the weighting wasn't too high. We had to redo a practical we'd done earlier...
