On the right track with the physical reasoning. Perfectly fine for multiple choice. A mathematical approach to maximise v would be to solve dv/dt = 0. i.e. where a = 0. We have 2 possible values where dv/dt = 0, namely 3 and 5. To check if a point is a max or a min, you check the value of dv/dt...

Epsilon is not a variable in the sense like x or y that we change - here you can think of it as a placeholder for a small increment. 3 + \varepsilon means a small nudge to the right (and we can observe that the acceleration is negative). In the HSC, you are probably more comfortable using...

Yeah, they would matter - since there's lots of grads, I don't think many people are getting hired without all the exemptions. To get all of the part 1 exemptions, you just need to complete a Bachelor of Actuarial Studies or otherwise, and pick all the right units (and get >65 in them). Part 2...

Not wam but in certain subjects. Exemptions don’t really matter unless you get an actuarial job.

First year has one actuarial badged course and that’s not too difficult tbh. It does NOT count towards any part 1 thingo. Difficulty definitely ramps up in 2nd year from what I’ve heard.

Yes and no. You pretty much get part 1’s if you finish the 3 year degree. You get the education part of part 2 if you’re allowed to do it at uni. The rest of part 2 is contingent on you getting a grad job as an actuarial analyst and your work will cover the rest. This is probs the biggest...

It's not impossible - lowkey some of it is less intimidating than pure maths. Addressing the mythical drop out rates - I had a quick look at the UNSW enrolments for certain actuarial subjects and the cohort size goes from 300 to 250 to 200 over 3 years. I reckon most switch out because they...

Consider the graph of y = x^3 + x^2 -x + 2, most importantly, the stationery points. Also, consider the graph of y = k which should just be a horizontal line. There are 3 distinct solutions when these two graphs intersect each other 3 times.

That 90% will be your raw mark - have a look and see what that aligns to on the raw marks database. Type this aligned mark into the hsc calculator and that should yield a decent estimate.

it's a ploy to get enrolments.... NO atar calculator can take in weighted school marks and give a legit estimation. Yes it might show you what track you're on.

Text message is the aligned results. ATAR calculator is literally only useful for those 6 hours between marks and ATAR - just type the text message marks in.

Yes.

This is not a complex numbers question, it is a vectors question. Consider the angle between two vectors: cos theta = (a dot b)/|a||b| and then rearrange.

Yeh it will be a bit of a struggle but CS only 3 maths subjects ever (1A 1B and Discrete) so you don't have too much to worry about. An alternative is infosys or IT where there's less mathematics and logic throughout the whole degree.

Yes you will be able to get in (no prerequisite) but there will be a steep learning curve. Tbh it really depends on how ur maths is, like doing only 2U could mean a wide range of abilities l.

rawmarks.info is your friend - note that this refers to raw mark on the HSC exam, not your average school mark.

Yes, it is further scaled. Alignment gets the raw marks to the right bands (band 6 means a level of achievement stated by NESA). These aligned marks are sent to UAC and are scaled with respect to each subject.

The scaling argument in the media is generally put towards capablestudents that do general maths instead of 2U maths so they have a shot at getting close to full marks. However this is being alleviated with the new common content in 2U and General which means it’ll have a similar...

I don't think so IMO - 40ish% is enough to show Band E2 competencies in MX2 which is why it squarely lands in the 60s. Alignment is not about difficulty but about the band descriptors (see below)...

Since you've done 2U maths you can be admitted to engo (covers prereq) without any issues. Being honest, having done just 2u, you might find yourself struggling a little bit in first year maths and feel behind compared to peers but that is okay. However, enviro engineering is a branch of civil...
