nup in 2019 is was always a shitpost site but a good way to unwind and share the collective experience

Jimmy's response uses De Morgan's laws which you may not have been exposed to. Dr Dawn's solution is more Yr 12 appropriate :)

Gateway is similar to the E12 scheme at USyd.

This formula is quite difficult and easy to forget (kinda like the solution to a cubic). The complete the square method above is perfectly valid. The term i is your "2ab" term and figure the rest out accordingly.

e^{i\frac{\pi}{2}} = i So just put each one to the power of 4 and see :)

There is no specific benchmark as there are no prerequisites. If you get above 86 in 2U, it is appropriate for you to do the entry level first year maths course (MATH1131). If you get lower than that, you can still enrol in MATH1131 without any issue, but it is recommended that you rather do the...

Raw 80s on the final exam should land you in the E4 range.

Do society and culture if you want to do a non-science pseudo research project

If you want to be a vet, go pursue that. I understand that vet school is quite competitive so of course, it's good have backup options. I would probably recommend an animal/vet/bioscience degree (USyd has one) rather than a biology degree since it's more aligned in your interests. The UNSW...

What draws you into biology? If you have a good reason for doing it, then go for it. If it's what you want to do, then you will be able to achieve in it.

HSC markers have to be impartial (and are probably very good at that, since they see hundreds of scripts), but generally I think devil's advocate essays tend to perform not so well because they are poorly done. Tbh I feel people mostly play that card to sound "smart" or be "noticeable" and...

Re: your point about “agreeing with the students perspective”. I think this is more that “devils advocate” essays might not do as well, not because the teacher disagrees, but because the question is posed in a way that you should be agreeing (unless you have a VERY convincing argument...

Jk I can’t read… 😂 From what friends have said, the Lvl 1 BIOS courses are closer to HSC biology than BABS course (biomolecular sciences) so idk if you’ll have problems. BABS1202 is done by a lot of people (ik food science does it) so I guess it would be new to everyone. By 2nd year everyone is...

Also, a script is marked at least once. It’ll pop up to more than one marker, and both of them will grade it. If they give the same grade, that is the mark you’ll be awarded. If there’s a discrepancy, then it’ll go for further investigation. Marking is very consistent due to the size of the...

No you can’t. It is not remarked, just ‘checked’. They literally check if the mark on your paper matches the raw mark - sometimes this doesn’t match due to admin errors eg missing a booklet.

This won’t stop you from getting admitted into the science degree. However, you may feel that you’re behind some other students that did HSC biology. What are you planning to major in? This will probably determine what is important that you catch up on.

The decision should 100% be yours rather than choosing the most popular one. What interests you out of the list?

Looks like you’re looking at UNSW based on the choice of degrees. A double degree is structured slightly differently to a single degree. Instead of doing a Major (from commerce) and a minor (at usyd, you can do this from any other faculty but unsw is a bit stricter on the rules), you do two...

UNSW gateway was introduced last year so there probably isn’t a lot of anecdotes about it. As far as I’m aware, it isn’t an unconditional offer like some other unis, but rather a conditional offer contingent on a lower ATAR requirement than usual. This makes me think that they’ll assess your...

You will not be denied entry on the basis of not having done chemistry.
