4:30 hours of sleep plus this made me cry a lil reading this.

The vast majority of 99+ students I know (including myself) were never tutored

Any course you can combine with law really. What are you interested in?

Whilst I agree with you (along with probably everyone else in this thread including the OP), I think it is also interesting to assess what our society deems to be prestigious. There's no reason to totally dismiss the thread as you are doing.

To add: Stanford, MIT, Caltech, UC Berkeley, the larger colleges in the University of London, the Sorbonne, Vienna, Trinity in Dublin, St. Andrew's, ETH Zurich. Those are probably the biggest international ones I can think of off the top of my head.

For universities: USyd or UNSW, and especially the former in terms of prestige. For degrees: Law and Medicine (an oversupply of graduates for law has been detrimental for the prestige of law, but this has been counteracted slightly by a positive shift in societal perceptions of lawyers caused...

From what I understand, that's not necessarily the actual reasoning of EAP points. The concept behind allowing extra-curricular performance to compensate for academic underperformance is that those who fall into the category of "elite" have such a large commitment to their chosen sport...

Hahaha, to be honest vocab isn't actually that important. I always liked to use chimerical because Evans talks about Nazi propaganda with that term and it's a pretty good way to describe it really. I could easily rewrite that sentence and have it work just as well though: Whilst the Nazi Party...

Combined Law at Usyd - the dreeeeaaaaaam

This is correct, but the point is that technically every student who does the IB in a single year could get 45 since the score is not a rank. Since this calculates to a UAC rank of 99.95, this essentially means that there's no limit to the number of IB students who get 99.95. In 2014 for...

You can do Maths Studies for maths, ESS or sports science for science and standard level beginners Spanish for a language. There's Mickey Mouse subjects in the IB as well. The level of rigour in the HSC curriculum (as with all modern Australian senior curricula) meets the standards required by...

Do you need it?

That's great to hear mate, keep it up! As I've been trying to illustrate in my post, read as widely as you can, practice your essay technique, and maybe ease off the boredofstudies one-man witch hunts and you should do well at the hsc.

I always did WWI first because you can complete it to full mark standard in far less than 45 minutes which saves you time on other questions. The advantage of doing it earlier is that you can then adjust the length of the rest of your essays with knowledge of how much time you've saved. I...

Hey mate, thanks for the (slightly vitriolic) feedback. If you'll refer to what I wrote in my post I certainly did not claim to be the most knowledgeable about the options I studied even in my HSC cohort, let alone the state in its entirety. In fact, what I wrote was: Whilst I can see vaguely...

Cheers bud, good luck to you if you decide to do Modern History!

Hey all, My name’s Pat, and in the 2015 HSC I received third in NSW in Modern History. Many of you may know me for my infrequent bursts of actual advice or, more likely, my far more common role as an agitator and cynic on bos. Now in this short guide I’m not going to try and fool you - the...

Isn't business and econ stats a compulsory unit for commerce

Not really (46 vs. 47 in 2014), but the aggregate required to get 99.95 was the highest it's been in quite a while.
