Even if you're not interested in math in year 11, I'd still recommend doing 4U if you're decent at math. I wasn't at all interested in math until I took up Ext2. It's a little sad because all mathematics before Ext2 is REALLY lacklustre and boring, despite this I did 4U partly because "why not"...

What's the "style" of work you do in postgrad? When you go from HSC to uni, your learning is basically just a lot more self-directed/aimless, and that's about it. The work itself isn't all that different, you just don't have a clear cut syllabus for you to follow. What about postgrad?

Stress-wise, uni is lighter on you than the HSC - simply because the consequences of doing bad aren't that hard on you. However unless you're planning on doing arts/law/comm, be prepared to have a MUCH larger workload than the HSC. (You get used to it though)

So that we can build up communication skills which will help us in the long run. Unfortunately, HSC English doesn't do a very good job of this. But I think that's it's main aim. Also, I think English is compulsory so that it "balances out" the HSC. Too often, logical/mathematical subjects with...

4U in order of importance - Integration (self explanatory) - Complex Numbers (Entire topic at UNSW first sem mathematics) - Volumes (because it really teaches you the true nature of integration. It is not just some big s symbol and changing powers around, it's the summation of infinitely small...

Anyone know the offer times if you're a uni student? There isn't a predicted atar. UNSW takes uni marks and atar in 50/50 ratio so I'm assuming we'll be in the later round of offers because uni results come out much later than predicted ATARs.

Yes. Too bad it's in UNE, a 4.5 hour drive. Not complaining though! S1 score was 77.

It's part of the syllabus, so I'd imagine it would be.

Yeah, true. Actuary and Medicine are so completely different fields that there's no way to make a good argument for either. It really boils down to your personal motivations. Personally I can't stand statistical math/probability and the like so I'd stay on the science side of things. I like...

Yup! Got mine for mbbs. Didn't apply for dentistry or anything so yeah. We got dis. edit: Dates look like 1st - 6th December.

Why are engineering/science exams always so early. We already have 22 hour weeks so it'd make sense to give us more time after semester ends to prepare, no?

God, this question. I took diameter as radius in part b) last year ...

Careful. Reliability has the additional (easily forgotten) requirement that the experiment is repeated AND RESULTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH EACH OTHER. There's no point repeating an experiment a billion times and you keep getting very different values. That is not reliability. (hope someone reads...

tl;dr yes you can change Can't reply specifically for the Commerce degree but...If I were in your position I would 1. Accept the offer to UNSW. UNSW is in the top 10 for accounting/finance, Melbourne has a similar ranking I think. 2. Through the year, do courses that are specific to the Comm...

Also consider a single degree eng + postgrad MBA over eng/comm They're about the same length total (5.5 to 6 years I believe?) and there's always the flexibility of just leaving once you finish 4th year. Of course an MBA is much more competitive than just a commerce degree, but yknow, it's...

Can someone upload it? I'm really curious edit thanks dan964 pg 8

I get this page when I click "log in": http://i.imgur.com/7BnX3N1.png My user/pass is definitely correct; if I type it in wrong there is an actual message saying that my user/pass is invalid instead of an error page. Is anyone else experiencing this?

2013: 49%ile 2014: 96%ile S1 77 = ~99 S2 52 = ~55 S3 60 = ~78 =189 This time round, I didn't have to worry about trials and had a full 6 weeks free before the exam.

Level 10 and 9 have too many people, 6 doesn't have enough desks and is too low for a good view. 8 has no female toilets. 7 is just right :) If you REALLY want a quiet floor in the libby, level 5 by far the most deserted.

CS:GO, DayZ. Is anyone here waiting for ArcheAge?
