You need 99.95 ATAR, no exceptions unless applying through the E12 scheme, whereby it's 99.5. No UCAT is required, it's purely ATAR.

Sure

You can get some real stuck up assholes but most people and nice, genuine and fun to hang around with - same as with public schools. You tend to get more studious peers which can push you up due to the competition.

My heaviest was mod7 because I found it super interesting so I did extra study. However, as I said, word count isn't a great metric - just make sure you're covering everything in the syllabus in-depth, whenever you learn something new in class, from a worksheet, past paper, video or other, write...

That's fine, don't worry about having too many words. Just make sure you're not being excessively verbose and try to be concise. My notes ended up being 50k words and I think that it was the perfect amount for covering everything in-depth and also going over extension stuff to better understand...

Hey, yeah, feel free to DM me. I've got a few openings for students as some of mine graduated this year.

CRISPR is the main genetic technology. The rest aren't really as much, it's more of a separate category. If you really wanted to flex on your teacher, you could bring up CAR-T cells (genetically engineering T-cells that can target cancer cells).

Thank you!! And yeah, it expired a week ago, but perhaps my uni email which is also .edu will work.

How do we get access for free?

At the very least Chemistry. Doesn't really matter whether you choose Biology/Physics, but Biology would be better to get an idea of the process of biological content. You should not pick a degree for the GAMSAT (which you will have to do in the last year of your degree). Also, you should also...

Nah dude, no one gives two shits where you went to uni, especially if it's in Australia. It's all about the CV I'd recommend going to UNSW. a) Comp Sci is reputed to be better, b) you graduate earlier. Granted it'll be less cheap than USYD, but the extra year you have in the work force will...

Hey, could you send me the paper pls? I'd like to have a look

Can someone DM me the paper pls

Yes, definitely learn it

Exam technique. Exam technique. Exam technique.

It definitely does exist, but it shouldn't be championed as a way of getting you a high atar - people obsess far too much over scaling. For the most part, it's not as significant as everyone makes it out to be. If you take subjects you enjoy, you will study more and you will do better. Plus, you...

During year 12, yeah, not really, unless you ask your close mates. After trials though, we literally made a google drive and everyone uploaded their notes

You'd expect so, but NESA makes the dumbest and most elusive marking schemes for Biology.

96 scaled was state rank last year, 97 was top

I don't think so. Last year was piss easy as well and I thought I aced it. I ended up getting a raw in the high 80s which scaled to 95. Really weird and stupid scaling happening there. If you're doing another science, the highest yield study you can do from now until then is focusing on your...
