Don't understand all the arts hate on here. It's not something I'd consider doing, but not every degree has to lead straight into a vocation. @4028.... was thinking of Mechanical. I know the mulah is in Petroleum and Mining but honestly ceebs moving, would rather stay here and have an enjoyable...

Best - MX1 Favourite - MX2 Lol MX1 is too much of the same, gets very boring and tedious. There's much more room for creative questions in MX2. Love the objectivity and logical reasoning of maths (this may have to do with my constant loss of marks in Adv English cos the teacher thinks I didn't...

Thanks again mate, great help.

Yeah I'll think I'll go with Actuarial/Science. I know it'll be difficult but I think I've developed good study habits (4-5 hrs per night consistent) and have the aptitude for the course. If I decide it's not for me, then no harm done, engineering it is. I really couldn't see myself doing much...

Lol I'm sure both degrees are sausage fests. Flirting probably won't go down well in the lecture halls regardless of what degree you do.

Yes, in the video he said you need a D average in UNSW to be exempt from the Pt II exams, while you only need a C average in UMaq to be exempt from the Pt II exams. I'm fairly sure these exams are set by an external body.

Ooh ok that does actually sound quite appealing. I wouldn't mind working insurance but I think there's more room for promotion in consulting (I could be wrong though). I was thinking of doing B Act Studies/ B Science but I wasn't sure if I should do it at Macquarie or UNSW. Macquarie sounds more...

First of all, thank you zhiying for taking the time to type out such lengthy responses and provide your insight :) You mentioned it was a 4 year course, which I understand, but my reference to studying for 10 years was about the exams you have to sit with the Actuaries Institute or something...

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of deciding which path I should pursue. After having been to some seminars, talked to various people, done a lot of research in my spare time and thought about what I actually enjoy, I've narrowed my options down to Actuarial Studies and Engineering. Most...

Ooh ok this is something that's I've come across before. If you have Terry Lee's 4U book, check out the solution to exercise 4.4 part 2)d. Basically using ln|x| can throw you off sometimes. Consider the following case where we use absolute values: ln|3| - ln|-2| leading us to the incorrect form...

Just throwing this out there, I managed to get Terry Lee's answer as well but through a different method which doesn't involve finding the value of the constant of integration. My line of working was: (v/ 10-v^2) dv = dx At this point integrate bot sides but use DEFINITE boundaries: LHS from...

Lol i like how 'James Ruse' is now a qualification.

gather, process and present information on the features of the local town water supply in terms of: - catchment area - possible sources of contamination in this catchment - chemical tests available to determine levels and types of contaminants - physical and chemical processes used...

I'd say low 90s (91-92) atm - maybe even mid 90's (94-95) if you can squeeze into top 5 for Business and Phys and maybe top 10 for chem.

inb4 Oedipus complex. Is your name Ophelia by any chance? Does your boyfriend often show signs of madness, intent to kill uncle, delusions of ghosts etc.. ?

Terms 4 (last year) and term 1 (this year) were both either 10 or 11 weeks. I got plenty of study done, finished all my notes early, and in class we got an average of 2 modules done per subject minimum. That makes sense, and I ultimately smashed my half yearlies. Now we're in term 3, I'm getting...

You sound like you're not enjoying it. I was in the same position as you a short while ago. I found that the immense workload of the subject wasn't worth the extra 1 unit and yes it did detract from my other subjects. After dropping it, I felt like a great weight was lifted from my shoulders...

Hi all, I'm looking to get into Veterinary Medicine (hopefully at USYD) but I did not realize the STAT exam was in May (kicking myself I know). Apparently there's another round sometime between September and January but will I be able to do 2015 Vet Med if I sit those round of exam? Thanks.

Hi guys. When I've searched BOS and other websites for advice on oral presentations (I have one coming up for Hamlet), most of the information seems to be geared toward actual presentation (i.e. eye contact, volume and tone). Though I understand the importance of this, it's not my main concern...

For sure! Be glad that the subject that needs a bit of improvement is maths 2U and 3U; all it'll take to boost your rank is time+effort (as opposed to English; some people just don't have it but you obviously do)
