    Thanks for the detailed response, Jinks! Yeah whilst the majority of the cadetships seem to be opening after the ICAA cadetship evening, some opportunities have opened up already! :D

    Cadetships 2014

    hey guys with some cadetships soon to open, I have a question for the cadets/accountants/people who can offer any advice :) How would you say the work-life balance is? I know this can vary between firms/fields of accounting, but it seems that it's generally harder to maintain than other...

    Cadetships 2014

    hnnng tfw UBS cadetships are open, but closes before I get my year 12 report (did quite terrible in year 11). I'm aware that academia isn't everything, but surely they screen those results before they even look at your written responses? Are there any other finance cadetships, or is it just UBS...

    Does air resistance in the pendulum prac affect accuracy or validity?

    You are correct in saying that validity refers to how well the experiment tests the hypothesis. Now, if your hypothesis is regarding the measurement of g, any air resistance due to the string (albeit very minor) would affect the validity of the experiment. However, as you also have mentioned...

    Ukraine, Euromaidan and Russia... Shit just got real...

    Well I suppose we'll have to see what happens. In the meanwhile, US: http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/leaving-now-grandpa-simpsons.gif

    Ukraine, Euromaidan and Russia... Shit just got real...

    Thoughts on Russia's alleged deployment of soldier in Crimea? That would be edging towards violating territorial sovereignty (not really like there's a R2P, currently). Your point about EU's economic ransom and UK paying 50billion pounds is quite interesting - never knew that! Does seem quite...

    Ukraine, Euromaidan and Russia... Shit just got real...

    nice and concise cliffs (Y) I'm curious as to why Ukraine joining the EU would not be in their best interest? (not having a go at your views, just curious) Are you referring to the $15b debt buyout and ~33% discount in gas prices? Ousted, or fleed and got voted out by members of parliament? I...

    Anyone else can't study on Saturdays?

    OP, i know dat feel, except it's everyday :P all libraries closed at 5PM /hsclyf +1 to rest days. I think it differs for everyone; for me, I feel my productivity peaks at 10PM (esp. for english/maths)

    Cadetships 2014

    Thanks for the reply chrono! I was thinking about auditing, since it seems like it'll provide a good foundation for specialisation. Concurrently, I don't want to be doing menial tasks (all the time). I will definitely do some more research :) I am mostly sure that I want to do accounting, but I...

    Cadetships 2014

    @chrono and anyone else currently on an accounting (the most popular) cadetship: What field of accounting are you in (or do some companies have flexi programs?), and what do you actually do? i.e., write reports, check business inventory, get coffee for your boss (:P) ??

    100 UAI, no tuition, did an Arts degree - AMA

    notsureifsrs I think you have to realise that not everyone and their sibling wants to get a CPA, then get into IB; and for that matter, med/dentistry etc. Some people actually have the will to follow their passion and interests, rather than be confined to the expectations of society -...

    Should I try out for Ruse?

    Why not give it a chance? It'll be beneficial for your academics if you can competitively keep up with the work and assessment load. I think ruse has a camp for year 11 newcomers with the rest of the cohort(not 100% sure), during year 10 so you can see what to people are like. There's no harm in...

    Conics Question Help Please!

    you can either: i) use the equation of tangent for an ellipse \frac{x_{1}x}{a^2} + \frac{y_{1}y}{b^2}=1 and then just sub in (6,-2) as x1 and y1, a=3 and b=2 or if that's unknown (or you don't know how to find it yet) ii) implicitly differentiate the equation (...
