Contrary to what other people say in this thread, don't worry about your school ranks. They play very little role in the grand scheme of things (they do affect your ATAR slightly but you shouldn't need to worry about it). Instead, just focus on doing the best you can. Scaling and ranks are out...
Everyone have different ways of studying - using other people's notes may give you some ideas for how you may like to go about structuring your personal notes but you shouldn't want to rely on them. You should be making your own personal notes that work for you. What works for one person may not...
20T1 course (yeah, I only did one course this term hehe):
COMP3411 - Artificial Intelligence
For anyone who's thinking of specialising in Artificial Intelligence, this course is a core course and introduces you to the main concepts that will be expanded upon in later courses (such as COMP4418...
University is a lot less restrictive than high school; you get to pick and choose specifically what you want to study, and is more generally a much better environment as opposed to high school. High school feels more like a gateway to university: high school will constantly remind you of...
Hey guys!
Please see the updated attached file for the updated paper. There were some small typos in some questions, so I have fixed those. I have also updated the layout so that it looks more friendly.
Happy studying!
19T2 courses:
COMP1521 - Computer System Fundamentals
- Ease: 7/10. Programming is divided into two different languages. You dabble with assembly language (in this course, you are introduced to MIPS and you use QtSPIM to debug the code), and you also do a fair bit of C programming. In contrast...
Yes! One person is me!
My ranks were decent (they weren’t great but they weren’t bad). And I still pulled a 91.50. I’m currently in my second year at UNSW studying B Computer Science / B Science (maj. Mathematics).
To give you some context, I went to a fairly competitive school (top 100...
Hey there!
First of all, best of luck with the HSC exams next month! I’m sure you’ll do amazingly well.
To give you the short answer: yes. It is still possible, it just might be a bit harder given some of your ranks aren’t quite there.
But to give you the long answer, it’s definitely...
Hey guys! This was originally written for a Year 11 student sitting their yearlies in a few weeks, but thought it would be super helpful for other students sitting the new syllabus too! I will be uploading more past papers as I make them (for 3U and potentially 4U).
The Year 12 papers that I...
A big congrats to everyone who placed first or equal first in a subject! An absolutely fantastic achievement!

Hey guys!
As most of you guys know, the new Mathematics, Extension 1, and Extension 2 syllabus will replace the current syllabus. So what changes does this new syllabus entail for 3U?
Here's an overview of what's being added and changed:
+ pigeonhole principle is added on top of the...
Good luck to everyone receiving their HSC results and ATAR! If you are disappointed and don't make the cut off requirement for guaranteed entry, there are always alternatives to get into the course you wanted!
Also, don't feel obligated to post your results if you don't want to! They're yours...
Hey dumbfuck.
Yes, you can. It's only the first assessment; you still have 75% of your internal to do so anything can happen! What you need to do from now is to reflect on the preparation of your assessment that you've just done. Do you think you've done enough to prepare? Where do you think...
MATH1231: Mathematics 1B
Handbook: :(
Mark: 88 (HD)
Semester/Year: 2, 2018
Pre-requisites/Assumed knowledge: MATH1131 is a pre-req.
Thoughts:
- Ease: 9/10. MATH1231 is basically a continuation of 1131. In terms of easiness, I found it a lot more intuitive and easier than 1A (haha, I...

Handbook: (Can't post links but you can find it by searching "MATH1131 Handbook")
Mark: 76 (DN)
Semester/Year: 1, 2018
Pre-requisites/Assumed knowledge: Combined mark of 100 across both Mathematics and Extension 1 is assumed; no pre-requisites.
