Thanks for the advice - yes I agree. Yeah I'm not sure what to do about majors - I will ask around :)

I'm in first year combined law and the stress continues. Everyone said to me that uni is so chilled, you only have to pass etc. If you're in a field like law and want to get a decent job, you have to do quite well. But it's also important to do extracurriculars. I'm very much like you - I stress...

I'm currently a science/law student at UNSW. I chose UNSW over USYD because I initially wanted to do advanced science/law and USYD didn't have the major I wanted to do. But now I don't want to do the major I came to UNSW to do - I've changed to geography, but want to major in environmental...

Yes that makes sense but from what I've heard it doesn't matter what your other degree is. Just do what you'll enjoy the most. I'm doing science law because I think it's what I'll enjoy the most (I'm interested in environmental science and hope to get into environmental law, but I could just as...

I'm looking for a relatively cheap ultrabook (<$1000). Basically my 13 inch white macbook still works but most of the keyboard doesn't work - so I can still use it at home with an external keyboard, but I need a cheap replacement for uni purposes. I'm thinking of getting an ~11 inch ultra book -...

My friend did it is semester 1 - she said it was really easy - there's no final exam, you just have online quizzes and assignments

1.Practice. That's the only way. Some people try adding weights to their pens - but I'm not sure how effective this is (I think it works if you use it consistently). But the best thing you can do is to simply do heaps of essays under time conditions - I found when I started, I couldn't write...

I did all 3 sciences in year 11 - I didn't really like year 11 biology but it is bearable and definitely worth the wait for year 12! Year 12 bio was probably my favourite subject - it was really interesting and relatively straight forward. After I did my year 11 physics yearly exam I knew I...

Also you could try changing where you study - maybe try going to a library, or studying with friends? Sometimes the latter can be counter-productive for stress if the person will distract you. But, for example, my last exam was chemistry and I had a week to study for it. I was really unmotivated...

Try a local tutoring company - I do maths tutoring with a company for private-secondary school, which personally suits me because I do not have to provide any of the materials and do little planning. I earn $17.5 an hour. I know that many people do private tutoring and charge way, way more, but...

Lol! Did you feel the same way about it? I just hated it...

I think I was similar - I definitely had a fear of failing and disappointing everyone. But you have to take a step a back and remember that you have to be doing the HSC for yourself. In the end, it's your work you're putting in, your marks, your ATAR. No one else's. I know the pressure can get...

I agree - yes your school ranking isn't good but if you ace the externals then you can achieve anything

I think you have a decision to make: are you going to put in the effort to treat 3U like your other subjects, or are you going to neglect it? If you're willing to put in the work, then keep it - if you work at it, it's really rewarding (in terms of scaling). But if you're going to neglect it and...

Definitely NOT memorising! It's all about problem solving and application - that's why I love it. Like the others have said, most exams are open book.

*hugs* Look honestly everyone goes through those stages in the HSC. I know it sucks and sometimes you feel like it's the end of the world but just take a step back for a second. The HSC is an annoying fuck that doesn't define you or your life. Basically all you can do with it is do your best...

Honestly finishing the HSC never really hit me. After my last exam (chemistry), I was happy but not ecstatic or anything - I was really tired and got mcdonalds with my friends and watched movies all night. Obviously varies from person to person. But I will tell you that the time after the HSC is...

Semester 1, 2013 CHEM1031 Ease: 5/10 - most difficult subject for me - an eye opener, showed me that I hated chemistry which was good because the major I was planning on taking involved a lot of it. Interest: 6/10 - labs were really fun but the lectures especially were horrible - I found it...
