Learn by doing past papers. It is the single best way to study

Absolutely. CompSci will be hard but so much more rewarding, both academically and with regards to jobs. Eng + CS is one of best degree combos out there

1 more spot available for either y11/y12 Chemistry or y12 Biology!

Better in what sense?

To do what? Best by what metric? Pick what you want to do as a job. CS is bloody hard, and if you don't have a passion for it, you'll fail and fail again. Likewise for Law.

Congrats to everyone and good luck with your results tomorrow!!

lmao, Sydney Grammar cleaning up with the state ranks in languages as per usual

A rule waiver? What's that? What uni are you studying at?

Yup

Yes, Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) is a regular at a shop I go to as well and no one is any wiser

Literally anything. I caution you to make your personality purely about med. You will be living and breathing medicine for the rest of your life. Take the time to now enjoy other aspects of university. I too am going to enter medicine for postgrad. However, I decided against taking...

Oh I thought he was talking about school. Then join societies, go to events, talk to new people

Both. And $$$

None! Pick what you enjoy. Medsci is the worst 'premed' degree.

In my case, no, I performed really well in trials and did not do as well in the HSC for English. It's hard to say - but expect similar to harsher marking than your school. Try to see if any teachers at your school are HSC markers and ask them for advice. I think English should stay mandatory -...

I'm not sure what applications they use in elec, but for mech, the only big problem for me was solidworks (3d modelling), but I think that was just because it was poorly optimised for mac. If they want to avoid that headache, then yeah, they could go for a beefy computer, but I do a very...

Dell XPS 13 and Dell XPS 15 are good windows laptops. You don't need that powerful a laptop for engineering/compsci, but there are some applications that do lag a lot. So if you have the money, go with XPS 13 + Desktop. Or you could do XPS 15 and not need a Desktop. Or if you are on a smaller...
