You are in luck since I rarely frequent these forums. I haven't done IPT so don't have subject specific advice for you, but couple of things: 1.Don't panick - it makes you more stressed and doesn't help you absorb content faster (unless you work better under stress) 2.Think about what...

Hi there, I think perhaps it is better to aim for a high mark then try to get into Art Express because the selection process is not very transparent and it depends on the themes each year. I totally understand where you are coming from, my teacher pushed me to do mixed media even though that...

Although a year later (as I don't wander around these forums very frequently anymore), very grateful to know that this thread has helped you in some way. Seven years out of high school and reflecting back on how intensely I studied in high school and the advice I have given in this thread, and...

Agree with what RivalryofTroll has said above. I too also currently work as a junior lawyer in a mid tier firm. I think I do see a disproportionate amount of people in clerk and grad cohort from certain universities, namely UNSW, USYD, UTS, Macquarie, ANU. Having said that, I am not sure whether...

Hi there, It seems you have done a bit of research into both universities' programs. Although I have not studied engineering, I have studied in UNSW and all I can say is that connections to engineering companies should play a minor role in your decision making. For example, at UNSW, you are...

I am doing my law degree at UNSW and am finishing this year. I will answer your questions in a combined answer. I have really enjoyed studying law at UNSW, the classroom discussions arising from small class structures really helps me to engage with the content and learn to articulate myself more...

1. why did you choose law? I initially chose law because I was interested in social justice, never studied it in high school, always liked English and felt it was a good area to explore. Around 2 years into my 5 year combined law degree, I began to be very interested in thinking about the law...

Unspoken danger of burning out at the most crucial time of the HSC-either before trials, during trials or before or during HSC. It is so important to manage your psychological and physical health throughout the year so that all your effort won't be wasted in the most crucial part of the...

I think how to create an optimal study timetable depends on a lot of personal factors, such as when is your attention span best at, concentration span etc (which in turn determines both when you start studying and how long do you study at one time), but I think you should always...

Firstly, I commend on you on your open-mindedness and willingness to listen to other people's views. There are not a lot of parents that I know who would do it so humbly and honestly as you have. I think that it is understandable that as a parent, you want your kids to walk on the right path...

I think the easiest way is to ask a English teacher whether they know another English teacher who is a HSC marker and does tutoring

I think we are debating about the wrong thing. I think what we should be focusing on instead is making what we learn in English to be more useful in real life (instead of encouraging students to rote learn to get good marks) and ensuring that uni actually have other ways to weigh entrance...

Although I applaud your study ethic, I hope you remember that HSC is a marathon and you should be taking some time out for yourself to do things you enjoy. I crammed myself in a room and lost almost all of my social life in Year 12 to get a good ATAR and even before that to prepare myself for...

Don't be so scared of the new syllabus-its just new content you have to learn, and regardless of what the syllabus actually is, good writing standards don't change, how you judge whether a story is good or not won't change either, even if the topic of whatever you are writing changes. Don't...

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't see this until now. I think this one is a very difficult question, because I tried both and still ended up doing hand writing notes. However, the way I absorbed information was a bit funny, I liked to cram entire topics onto a mind map and I look over that...

Actually UNSW has a pretty similar course, from what I know the course was called professional engineering and communication-which goes through stuff like ethics and communication, and one of my friends who did it complained about how arbitrary the marks seems to be allocated, and I think the...

Thank you for the clarification. From what I have heard, UTS finds the 60 days of work experience for the student (which I guess is much easier compared to UNSW where students have to find the placement themselves)

In UNSW engineering, you can't graduate until you have done 3 months of industrial training (which you will have to find yourself), so on one hand, compulsory work experience before graduating will make you more employable, on the other hand, if you don't find the relevant job experience in...

Being in my final year of a combined law degree, I can tell you that choosing planning/law as a combination degree is extremely rare-probably one or two people out of each year's cohort would do it. And if you want to get admitted as a lawyer, you need to do an additional 6 months training after...
