507. Gl everyone

Nah you're fine bro. I got 40% in my first English assessment worth 25% of my internals and still ended up with a 95+ atar. I thought it was the end of the world lol. Not even. It's easy to be demoralised but switch your mindset to a realistic one, and see how many marks are left on the table...

Comm/Eco, man up and major in econometrics.

ECON3208 Content - 7/10. You'll either love or hate it. The main idea of the course is to find a workaround to a violation of certain GM assumptions, as well as some advanced applied time series/panel data stuff. An extension of 2206 stuff, and a core for an emetrics major. Assignments generally...

LOL I did it in sem 1 2016, and I got higher for it than 1612 in s2 2016 maybe because I'm more of a numbers/calcs guy, but also largely because the assessment structure in semester 1 isn't as f**ked. If I were you, I would check out previous course outlines and compare s1 and s2 - that's the...

ftw the changes disappeared and my wam has reverted back to before the change.. (comm here, I think my 2542 was included before)

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, admittedly my habits are pretty bad (studied 8 hours for every final exam this semester - ended up sleeping at 4/5am for every one, definitely not a good idea. Won't be surprised if I get put on academic probation). What I've noticed is that people who did well in...

I've seen some of your posts and you definitely seem very smart, just like literally everyone else at UNSW - it seems that everyone that does commerce (or at least most of them) has AT LEAST a 75 WAM, especially those students that say "I'm so fucked for my exam in 2 days, haven't even started...

When I did ECON1101, 60-70% of the cohort received mark of 75 or higher. It's probably the easiest economics course offered and involves minimal maths (mostly common sense theory, and A LITTLE calculus). ECON1203 provides you with the core foundation for statistics, introducing concepts like the...

Nah Invoker's alright, used HSC techniques to memorise all his spells haha. I'll never understand Meepo though, too much micro ._.

Get a job lads, tutoring is good. Seriously, getting a job early on will help you on down the line. Jan-Feb is hiring season after all of the shitty casuals get booted. Find a hobby, learn an instrument, a language, a new sport, a new DotA hero and party hard (lol). You'll never have this much...

What? Of course you can rote learn Maths and 3U. Ever figure out why people do so many past paper questions over and over again? So that they can memorise the procedures involved in doing the f**king questions because the HSC recycles the same trash every single year. Most people don't even...

That'll align to a high e3 or low e4 due to 4U scaling. And no worries bud, #thereislifebeyondthehsc (seriously, there is.)

One of my mates was coming first in a subject out of like 90 students and dropped it before Year 12 started. He still ended up getting 98+, getting into the course of his choice and is sitting at a high D WAM. If you don't want to do it, don't. It won't affect you in the long run (as long as you...

Gud ranks m8 (srsly, these ranks would be 95+ in any school ranked 100 or higher), unfortunately Year 11 doesn't count towards Year 12. Just study daily and before exams and you should be aight (basically repeat your Year 11 study habits, only this time, it actually matters). Good luck!

Re: 2015 Business Studies Marathon Qantas

I was in the same position as you when I was in Year 11 and guess what I did. I listened to my teachers and dropped to standard. Stupidest thing I ever did, ofc I regret it. The texts are not very in-depth compared to advanced (arguably) but the biggest complaint I have is the people you end up...

I think it's possible. My school rank was worse than yours and my ranks were about the same, and I got 93+. You're gonna have to do exceptionally well in the external though. 90+ is definitely possible.

Yep, marking is strict in the sciences. A mid-high 70s to low 80s scrapes a band 6 for Physics if I'm not mistaken. It's even lower for Chemistry I believe. Depends how well you can rote-learn, haha

70ish as the others have said, you can def pull it up to 80 with the externals tho and there's like what, 3 weeks? Plenty of time :)
