Hi all,
I plan to study a combined degree of commerce and science at UNSW this year and I have several questions to ask you guys.
1. What is your overall opinion of commerce/science or more broadly, combined commerce in general?

I think you're gonna have to try and motivate yourself to study even though it may seem impossible, because studying while unmotivated is pretty hard.

Business Studies - 8/66 (varies per year but generally, top 5 band 6, top 20...

Afaik (correct me if I'm wrong) your internal rank plays a role in your moderated assessment mark, whereas your external HSC exam plays a major role in both your examination mark AND your moderated assessment mark - the two scores are averaged to give you your HSC mark which will influence your...
