i hated the open day at usyd last yr bc it was rainy it jus ruined the mood
yeah the rain was pretty depressing and i got absolutely drenched when i was walking onto campus but i learnt so much! and it also showed me how bad their non-college student accomodation is, theyre like prison cells 💀

id highly recommend going into the room with all the courses and just talking to people doing any course you're remotely interested in, it helps a ton to hear what people actually doing the course think

This might be a rumor but I heard that externals may boost your internals. My tutor said this. Anyone confirm?

essentially, the smaller the cohort is for a particular subject, the more the external hsc exam is actually worth.

its hard to explain but for example if there is 1 person in the cohort, the hsc is 100% overall, and it you have 100 people in the subject cohort then hsc is basically only 50% (especially if you are somewhere in the middle)

if you are near the top or near bottom of subject, then your hsc performance will significantly effect your internal mark also, especially in smaller subjects.
