Essentially, given the nature and difficulty of Mathematics Extension 2, it would be reasonable to suggest allocating as much study time as possible towards this subject, while being mindful of your performance in your other subjects. Mathematics Extension 2 is a more difficult and challenging...

Essentially, living in Australia on a student visa places some restrictions on a student visa holder in two main areas, being education and employment. In terms of education, an example of such restrictions is the inability to study a degree part-time which may be applicable at different...

To answer this question, it would be useful to recall the definitions of a centralised database and a distributed database: A centralised database is a database that is stored at one central location but is available for use by all computers on the network. A distributed database is a database...

From your post, it seems that your decision will most likely be between Ancient History or Geography. Biology does not appear to tick as many boxes for you as the other two subjects. In such a case, the best option would of course be to take both subjects in year 11, although given your school’s...

It would be difficult to determine the more popular university, since both universities are large and are usually a top choice for many students (because they are both generally very good). Like other universities, both USyd and UNSW offer a Doctor of Medicine program. Essentially, you should...

USyd is ranked higher than UNSW overall (both on QS and THE), although each university may excel more in specific fields (which would be reflected in field-specific rankings) than the other.

As long as you are eligible, the way through which you complete your HSC is not relevant. Instead, receiving early offers depends on meeting specified criteria for all students. This means that you and students who have completed the HSC in the traditional way will be assessed in the same manner...

Since BoS changed its forum software, it could be that some links/attachments may not have been migrated to the current forum software, including those from older threads such as this, making them no longer available unfortunately.

It is not a bad idea. It is simply a lengthier path compared to studying undergraduate law directly, but will still allow you to achieve the same goal of working in law. Another option would be to study law at a university with a lower ATAR requirement then transfer to a different university...

The study path that you are currently considering would imply that you aspire to start a career in law. Assuming that you will achieve a sufficiently high ATAR for entry into a Bachelor of Laws at the more well-regarded law schools, I would question the choice of studying a Bachelor of Laws as a...

A personal interest project (PIP) is a significant assessment component in Society and Culture. It is essentially a research project that allows students to explore a topic of their choice in relation to particular concepts taught within the subject.

Generally speaking, unless you are ranked first internally in the subject, and you also achieve the highest HSC exam mark within your cohort, it is unlikely that your own HSC exam mark will affect your Assessment Mark (i.e. the mark that reflects your internal performance). The moderation...

I would not recommend memorising essays when preparing for Section IV. Unlike English, where students are able to memorise essays and make some changes to them to suit particular questions of an exam, in Business Studies, it is not possible to thoroughly prepare for Section IV by memorising...

No worries! Yes, if you take Mathematics Extension 2, you will have 2 units of Mathematics Extension 1 and 2 units of Mathematics Extension 2 (total of 4 units). On the other hand, if you take only Mathematics Extension 1, you will have 2 units of Mathematics Advanced and 1 unit of Mathematics...

No worries! Both perspectives are valid and many students achieve outstanding results with 10 and 10+ units. Determining whether you should keep only 10 units or more than 10 units in year 12 will involve considering your own experience in year 11. If you find that you are performing well in...

If you take 11 units, you will have more than the required 10 units that will count towards your ATAR. Units beyond the minimum of 10 are known as backup units. Backup units comprise subjects that can count towards your ATAR if your performance in one of your other subjects is unfavourable. I...
