    Is 4 Unit Maths worth keeping over a 100% 2 Unit mark?

    With 4U it's 97. Otherwise it's 99

    Is 4 Unit Maths worth keeping over a 100% 2 Unit mark?

    4U also gives 2 bonus points for UQ Med, if that helps convincing you

    Questions to 99.95 ATAR Recipients

    Do you recommend I start going over the 2U and 3U textbook when the holidays start or should I spend the first half of the holidays on 'mastering' the Year 10 content (basically have a solid foundation) and then start with the 2/3U content during the second half? Also apparently 3U classes don't...

    Questions to 99.95 ATAR Recipients

    My 2 cents 1) When you get bombarded with homework (let's say 3-4 subjects' worth everyday), would you complete that and then go to sleep/relax? Or would you still 'study' and if so, what would that studying be (i.e. isn't homework enough or is revision of the term's content necessary to go...

    Questions to 99.95 ATAR Recipients

    HSC was so long ago for me, but I'll try to answer some - since I don't imagine there to be many 99.95ers around who can answer your question. (I got 99.90) 1) Were you guys always top in your cohort (this doesn’t really apply to Top 25 SS students I guess, since rank 5-10’s also get 99.95)? By...

    All nighters or wake early in the morning?

    I did all nighters in high school - worked fine for me. Don't do it for maths though, only the subjects which are mostly rote content (e.g. English, economics) Now that I'm in uni, I found waking up early with a boost of coffee helps more. To each their own!

    why does going to the psychologist cost money

    I don't believe going to the dentist or optometrist is covered by medicare? (but covered by private health insurance iirc) - correct me if I am wrong (maybe some services are covered). In any case, if you need to see a psychologist - you could consider asking your GP for a mental health care...

    UNSW or WSU medicine - if you could choose which one and why?

    Depends Do you want to study at uni for 5 years or 6 years? 1 year can feel like a long stretch for some people - you can do honours in that year (and hence progress straight to PhD), you can work one year earlier, start the climb to specialty training one year earlier (ever more important as...

    Great school, bad internal ranks vs Bad school, great internal ranks.

    Doesn't really matter tbh. Going to a low ranking school means your fate is much more determined by your external exams. Going to a high ranking school means your fate is much more determined by your internals since you need the ranks in order to benefit from getting pulled up by your...

    Should I repeat year 12? part 2

    If you really think you can turn your life around in the space of 1 year and achieve a very high atar (I mean 99+) then you may consider repeating to increase your shots at medicine (tbh don't tunnel into just USYD's combined medicine - this is like the most competitive degree requiring 99.95...

    Is it just a number? or is that just a lie?

    It might just be a number, but it does give you a stepping stone to many careers (so yes... it does matter...). But still, it is just a number - you can get low atars and still get into the course or job you want. I know someone who studied business at UTS but still leap frogged everyone in...

    Medicine or Psychology? Help

    If you're doing bad at maths then drop it - it won't help your ATAR in this case.
