Really regretting doing all humanities subjects, getting a bit overwhelmed with all this content. Time seems to be going so fast leading up to these exams, was just wondering how long you guys intend on spending going over subjects before the day? For example I've been revising all my subjects...

Stupid question, but can someone just tell me exactly what a Cadetship is? From my understand it seems to be a program offered to people interested in majoring in Accounting at university? What exactly are the benefits of this and what do you have to do in return? I'm a year 12 student and it...

Currently preparing for my English HSC exams, I do Standard and just wanted to make sure I've got everything fully prepared, Icurrently I have: Paper 1: Area of Study - 1 prescribed (What we did in class) and 1 related text (My own choosing). Paper 2: Module A - 1 prescribed (What we did in...

Haha don't get me wrong I'd never do something like that, but that said I know a fair few that who in my position wouldn't even try for the HSC if the system allowed them to effectively not even study for the HSC and still get a pretty decent mark, was wondering if there was some sort of...

Great, appreciate the links seventhroot I'll read over them later when I've got more time but a shorter answer was what I was after. Can anyone confirm this though? I mean to me that just sounds a bit unfair, I got pretty decent marks in all my internals and I know there are students who are...

Hey, was just wondering if anyone could give me a run down on the effects of having a 1st internal assessment ranking in terms of what it means for my external HSC and ultimately ATAR? I'm currently coming first in Business Studies, Modern History, Standard English and Society & Culture...

Here's the link to anyone curious: http://www.smh.com.au/national/education/nsw-university-offers-2014-search-for-students-you-know-20140117-30yxj.html Pretty cool site.

Re: Official 2014 Internal Ranks Thread Thank you, yeah don't worry about it then, really doesn't matter - All you can do is your best I guess!

Re: Official 2014 Internal Ranks Thread 1st Ancient History 1/14ish 1st Business Studies 1/15ish 1st Modern History 1/11ish 1st Standard English 1/50ish 1st Society & Culture 1/11ish School rank was late 400s in 2013, late 200s in 2012. Was just wondering if anyone could let me know what...

Still got plenty of time to fix it up, I finished my entire PIP in 5 days these holidays and went over the word limit for each section, reckon its pretty decent quality as well. I felt overwhelmed too but once you actually get in and write you'll be surprised how quickly you hit the word counts.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I'll just put everything in descending order in terms of ATAR then.

Hey, was just wondering how preferences worked with UAC. From what I understand there are 3 main offer rounds and you can put down 9 preferences and you can only receive 1 offer per round. 1. Should I put my high ATAR or low ATAR preferences down first? From what I understand if you don't...

As far as I know your PIP makes up 40% of your external mark (S&C HSC exam making up the other 60%) - Out of the 50/50 split between internal and external. Hope that helps.

http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/tony-abbott-contradicted-by-universities-education-department-on-how-deregulated-fees-will-be-applied-to-new-university-students-20140521-38oqo.html I just don't know who to believe anymore.

Yeah sorry worded the capping bit wrongly. With the deregulation starting in 2016, apart from existing students wouldn't those enrolling in 2015 be the final group of people unaffected as they'd be the last group to go through and still qualify as existing students before 2016?

As you've heard in the 2014 budget, HECS interest is capped higher at 6% and is paid when you earn a slightly lower amount but University fees are also being deregulated starting 1st Jan 2016, which from what I've heard means they can charge as much as they want. I'm graduating this year and...

Saw a kid chug 500ml of dairy farmers custard without a break.

Thanks for your responses guys, helps a lot really appreciate it! Do any of you know anything about the UOW Accounting and Financial Services degree on the Sydney campus I mentioned earlier? I can't find out much about it, is it any good? It seems to only take in a small amount of people each...

Oh okay, well there are definitely some people like that in my classes so that's good. I just can't help but feel that I'm not going to get an external mark as high as my internal mark and that will disadvantage me. Sorry if you also already answered this but I still don't quite get it, for...

So basically in either scenario if I rank 1st then my internal HSC mark won't count? Anyway thanks for that, still a bit confused but I sort of get what you're saying. For the first scenario you gave, if I came 1st internally and 1st externally I just don't quite understand. Wouldn't it be...
