https://boredofstudies.org/threads/chemistry-new-syllabus-advice-sample-answers-by-an-experienced-hsc-tutor.388479/#post-7314798 Here's a list I made a few years back

I can only speak for UNSW as I'm not aware of what kind of system goes on at other unis but you can probably find this easily through a quick search as the prizes/awards available are usually published on some website. It depends on the school and what they offer. In the school of chemistry...

No but I won some awards and medals based on top performance in a subject or year so that's how I know I came top in those subjects/the highest WAM for the degree that year.

It's not really comparable since it's based on different things. I was just giving that as a description of a 90 mark in hsc is not the same as a 90 mark in uni due to no scaling and aligning being present. Some degrees it's harder to get higher WAMs than others just do to how the marking works...

In general having a high WAM will be beneficial for getting your first opportunity at an internship or job but after that the skills and experience you gain from working would be more important. So I wouldn't really focus all your energy on getting a high WAM and neglecting things like work...

Yeah first year a decent amount of people can get a 85+ WAM since the courses are generally easier and there is more support available in terms of study notes, question booklets and things that are similar to how you can study for HSC exams. But yeah afterwards the difficulty to get that kind of...

Coming from someone who had a wam near 90 in their degree (adv science - chemistry major and math minor). This kind of WAM is near impossible for 99% of people. I don't mean to put it in a way that hard work doesn't yield good results because it is an important factor in achieving high marks...

Yeah so for getting the band 6s you don't get anything. Other than if you get like the highest ATAR in your school and go UNSW then you get a AAA scholarship (it's like a one off payment of around 4k) or scientia scholarship (99.90+ ATAR and its around 10k per year but only available in some...

Are you referring to like giving scholarships for HSC all-rounders (band 6 or E4 in 10+ units) or just in general like someone who has good marks, leadership skills, extracurriculars and sporting achievements? because they don't specifically offer anything for a student getting the 10+ units...

Yeah it should be other way around. it's probably a typo

No they are not required. You might need to know why a major vs minor product forms but they are not going to ask you to draw out the reaction mechanism in the exam since it's not a dot point listed in the syllabus

The marks aren't as important as like say high school. Good marks might help you in applying for your first internship if that is relevant to your degree so that then you can gain experience. But you need to be well rounded i.e. experience + decent marks + other skills like working in groups...

Nah you won't get state rank in first scenario. State rank is based on the final HSC mark and so that would mean its based on the person getting 89 + 99 divided by 2, which is not enough for the usually 97+ cut offs for most subjects The second scenario is just unlucky. They only have a limited...

Phys/chem/bio you need usually like a 97+ hsc mark ext 1 maths 100 hsc mark unless it was a very hard exam ext 2 maths probably 98+ No clue about the ranking in the schools exactly but if there is only 20 places per subject then you need to really be like top 5 since the state rank is based on...

TDS = total dissolved solids. It's about understanding the difference between the parts of the method. The filtering is to remove the non-dissolved material like grass, dirt etc. that would be in a river/dam. After thats filtered then you can find out how much solid is dissolved by evaporating...

The reaction is N2(g) + 3H2(g) < -- > 2NH3(g) Liquefying the ammonia basically removes the gaseous form from the equation. Removing NH3(g) reduces [NH3] and so the equilibrium will shift right by Le chatelier's Principle to minimise the disturbance. Shifting to the right means more yield

Kind of depends how much are marks important for your degree and future. Most degrees having a high credit to distinction should be a good enough mark to get into some internships if you have other good skills and work experience that can give you a good resume and ability to discuss about...

I don't think most people would want to pay for a study space as stated by the other people above there are a lot of free places you can go to for studying such as local libraries. Have you tried maybe to put on some headphones. There are a lot of noise cancelling headphones these days that you...
