Ah yeah, just checked and it's $200 for 3 months. Massive bargain imo, especially when you consider that they have 13k+ questions, which is several times more than other Fyi by pay more, I mean total earnings CompSci, Engineering, and some trading jobs such as quantitative analysts pay big...

Good luck with your UCAT. Personally I found medify to be the absolute best bang for your buck. Other prep courses were blatant scams and offered basically no value. I've never heard about the one you're using, but perhaps give medify a look before committing? It's literally $80, which is a...

You yourself cannot without accounting the ranking of your school, because a 90 at one school is not the same as a 90 at another school (ie. the exams may be of different difficulty). Typically, the whole point of trials is a trial run for the HSC - they are the best indicator of your future...

Vaccines do not confer sterilising immunity against Delta. What this means is that if you are double vaccinated and infected with Delta, you still carry a high viral burden, enough to infect others. However, the viral burden is typically lower in double vaccinated vs unvaccinated people...

You gotta be more specific if you want help. What questions are they asking?

I just checked the molar solubility of Ca(OH)2 using the table linked and got 0.0125M, whereas the molar solubility of CaSO4 = 0.00490M. So clearly CaSO4 is less soluble than Ca(OH)2. I believe the answers are incorrect - CaSO4 would precipitate, not Ca(OH)2. However, perhaps I am incorrect...

To elaborate, Paper 1 is an essay on the common module, and short text analysis Paper 2 is 2 essays on module A and module B. You also have 1 creative on module C, which may/may not be accompanied by a reflective task.

You're doing very well in most subjects, so you should be okay

No one here will be able to give you a good estimate. Ask your school, they are far better qualified to give you an estimate, especially after trials. If you want to maximise your ATAR, put the majority of your effort into english advanced between now and the HSC. It is going to bring up your...

The 4 important qualities to touch on are: leadership, altruism, dedication and teamwork. Club sport definitely works for teamwork and dedication. If you helped organise anything for club sport, you might be able to add leadership. Your grades also demonstrate dedication, this is also...

This is a poorly posed question and you're absolutely right to be confused. Using this table, Ksp AgCl = 1.8 \times 10^{-10} whereas Ksp AgOH = 2.0 \times 10^-{8} So just by using the Ksp, we could infere that Cl- will be precipitated out first. Since the flow chart doesn't demonstrate the...

Written response is important. Just because you are eligible doesn't mean you will get it. There are a lot of people competing for this pathway.

I did share my essay with my cohort, but I probably wouldn't do it again. A lot of people ended up using my essays for module A which could have been bad. But anything else - notes, quotes etc.. definitely.

Also to add: where do you see yourself in 5 years, do you have any questions for us (this is big, definitely have some to ask them!). Have specifics to talk about the school, ie. I really like how you do X, or I would love to join Y activity - it shows you're a) interested in the school beyond...

I used to feel the same frustration with english but I was lucky that my year 12 teacher really helped change my perspective. English, when well executed, is the polar opposite of waffling. Essays are persuasive texts, where clarity is king. There will be wankers who prattle on about the...

Absolutely not. The HSC skews your perception of education as the entire year becomes focused around a single number. But school is so much more than that: it is about character development, becoming more mature, developing leadership qualities etc.. With regards to academics, school is also...

If you can handle advanced, definitely go for it. You are pretty heavily punished with regards to scaling if you do standard. Also I disagree that stem is mutually exclusive with being good at humanities. Being a good communicator in stem is probably the most important soft skills to have.

Absolutely. Obviously there isn't time for everything, but circle geo was an introduction at an area of maths that isn't covered at uni, yet was valuable in its own right because of the new insights and skills it was able to teach. It's a shame that the syllabus has moved to something that is...

Obsolete according to who? Just because it is taught/isn't taught at uni does not mean it is inherently better or more valuable.
