My cuz tells me Actuarial is pretty hardcore and kept telling me not to even consider it. He's in 4th year at UNSW (Commerce/Economics). He did 4U as well.

Your sig is massive. If you don't make it smaller, a moderator might remove it. Just warning you :D

Indeed.

Quanta to Quarks is somewhat interesting. Because it's a HSC module, it's obviously very limited in scope and the syllabus oversimplifies many concepts (Quantum mechanics isn't exactly "simple").

So is mining. But both of those streams have tough working conditions. Doing it just for the money is not a good decision. Mining engineering http://joboutlook.gov.au/Pages/occupation.aspx?code=2336&search=keyword&Tab=prospects Job prospects for Mining Engineers are good. Employment for Mining...

Inorite? Should have sat UMAT. It seems pretty easy to change streams once you start your degree.

@sointoyourself I'll try giving you advice for specific subjects. Bio + Chem: Takes notes on the syllabus dot points. I didn't do either of those subjects for the HSC, but I know people who did. You could try attempting past HSC questions (just stick to multiple choice if you cbf doing the...

It was my fear of actually failing that allowed me to cram for a ridiculous number of hours during the HSC examination period. I thought I was going to get a Band 4 for English and I was up until 4AM on the morning of the Phys HSC trying to learn the last topic. That's why ALL my external marks...

I never planned to cram. I just ended up having to because I never got around to studying anything consistently apart from Maths because the other subjects were so boring. Cramming puts you under a lot of pressure and you never know if you're going to fail or not. I'd recommend studying...
