They are not bad together, they are in fact an excellent combo and if you intend to do a Commerce degree, they are the basic building blocks for it. I personally found the topics in Business studies to be more interesting and easier to understand and broader. Whereas for Econ, it's more...

Are you serious? I always thought it's the other way round.

+1. If you can bs 2 pages in 30 minutes, then you will pass it. I saw some internationals in my class who only wrote like a few sentences, obviously they'll be the ones who fail this waiver test.

OP, why don't you just do accounting and BIS? As I know that INFS1000 is also required for an accounting major and it is also one of the requirements for BIS major. At least you can kill two birds with one stone IMO.

If you want to work in Australia, then whatever uni you go to doesn't matter, although I do admit that some of the networking events in Commerce only invite USYD and UNSW students to attend such as this one: http://fmaa.com.au/event/2016-fmaa-nsw-corporate-cocktails If you want to work overseas...

It really depends on your degree. Like Commerce has soooo many Asians even in USYD lol. At first I thought it's only UNSW which is saturated with Asians esp in Commerce, but USYD commerce also has a lot of Asians, esp in accounting. It really feels like going to Uni in China instead of Sydney haha.

+1 exactly. The cohort every year is different, the highest score for chem last year can be 95, and maybe for your year can be 90. it really depends

Cuz I heard this from other people in my year haha.

I have no idea haha. I'm not that close to him. But all I know is that he always sleeps for 2-3 hours every single day, whether it's exam time or not. In the end he didn't get any band 6. Only 3 band 5, 2 band 4 and 1 band 3.

I totally agree with studying smarter. It's the technique + working hard at the right areas. There's no point studying 24/7 and being counter productive such as only reading your textbook. There was a guy in my grade who studied A LOT. Like really a lot. He always slept for 3 hours everyday...

If you take public transport, use that as your "sleeping time". And if anything fails, coffee/tea/energy drinks are your best friend

It's good to find one now ESP if you attend a low rank school where students are not motivated

If you got into usyd via e12, Broadway scheme or something like that, then the uni will send you an invite for the orientation I think

Since you like humanities, and some commerce, IMO I think you should do commerce/arts or commerce liberal. It's much more flexible. Whereas for me, I'm kinda the person who is big on commerce and I'm not that interested to do other faculty subjects. So I ended up choosing commerce although I did...

Lol...this is true. Some people at my school just struggle to enrol properly in UWS. They can't even understand how to enrol in subjects at uni...
