Some UNSW subjects have later classes for people for work. I had a 6-8 (tute) class coz the other times clashed.

had 1pm - 8pm, so 7 hours. pretty tough...i sometimes skipped the middle ones. i'd recommend no more than 3 if possible

@r1ckyla if you did ext 2 maths you'll be fine with engineering/first year physics.

nope, you can apply to go on student exchange. Almost every degree can do it. The application process is long though, but worth it.

...well of course to everything theres exceptions. unless you're a genius, in general, its best to keep up with lectures and tute work.

yeah, i'd say 85 average is approx 99.00 give or take. but then again, for uni you're only doing one or a few subject areas. e.g. one person could be really good at chemistry for example, and maybe say they got 97 for the HSC in chem and get a 85+ average in uni, but only got a 95 ATAR, because...

i dont count that as cramming if you're half/more than half following lectures and you've read the tute answers i.e. know how to do questions... means you've pretty much kept up all semester and you're up to date. of course you study/consolidate harder closer to exams. cramming to me is you've...

go to lectures or if not have a good friend that does. some lecturers hint strongly what's going to be in exams in the lectures. other than that, if you can keep up with tute work and understand whats going on in lectures (sometimes helps to read/skim lecture notes beforehand). then i'd say...

I think it'll count for WAM. I'm pretty sure UNSW's WAM counts everything. It's pretty hard to tell if something's is part of someones degree, maybe not in your case, but say if i was doing a particular degree that has no electives, but 2 gen eds. and what would happen if I take 3 gen eds one...

what if theres nothing to fill?

its hard to narrow down people accurately with just forms.

seems like you're going to UNSW, so knock yourself out :P basically you need to pick a major stream, and a minor stream, or you can do 2 major streams. http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2012/3403.html

Just enjoy your holidays. There's not much you can and should do. Learning referencing, sure, but that shouldn't take much time anyway. I guess the one thing you can do, is to plan out what subjects you want to take for arts because there's quite a lot of choices especially for first year. If...

i think they mostly do full time first year, then do 1 or 2 less each semester if they need and do summer.

Re: do UNSW commerce people look down on Macq commerce people (honestly)?? they dont look down on you. they just feel sorry for you. jk

lol. its a pretty easy course imo. I think its useful, exposes you to the computing side of maths which is pretty important. If you have space then definitely do it, if not, then up to u? and yeah apparently u need it for applied maths. It'll also help if you plan to do MATH3311/MATH5335...

overloading is doing more than the usual load in a semester. e.g. most unis you do 4 subjects (of some unit of credit value). Overloading would be doing 5 subjects. just enjoy your 3 years of study... uni > work and not sure if u can do 3 to 2 years...even if you can overload each semester and...

its definitely possible. commerce/arts might be okay especially if all your subjects are 3 contact hours, then 5 subjects would only be 15 contact hours, so theres still plenty of time.

doesn't really matter. usyd should be better for maths though.

u pay normal fees at your home institution (so can be under HECS) The cut off depends on the people who apply at your home institution, and they take the students based on marks purely. And your uni is only allowed to nominate a specific amount of people each semester to a a particular overseas...
