    What is the consensus around mathematical sciences at USYD?

    Good, bad, average, what are the lecturers like etc. Also, what is thought about the Master of Mathematical Sciences course? Cheers

    Differences between mathematical sciences and actuarial studies?

    I just got results back (99.35) and I can have guaranteed entry into usyd's Master of Mathematical Sciences course and Actuarial at unsw/macquarie. For someone who is less inclined towards the financial side of maths, which is the better choice? I'm not sure which degree would give me the best...

    Does anyone have copies of trial papers from this year?

    Seriously sucks for you guys, all we have to do is grind past papers for study

    HSC Standard/Advanced Paper 1 Exam Thoughts

    Fuck Nesa, fuck everyone, fuck literature. I put in so much work to do well in English (more STEM-oriented) and I still get boned by Mr. Nesa's massive, high modality schlong. I'm considering writing a satirical discursive piece tomorrow on how much I hate NESA and English, or maybe an...

    HSC Standard/Advanced Paper 1 Exam Thoughts

    1984 was fucking ass, didnt get enough time to properly finish my essay and link back to the question. I'd be lucky to pass in that shit fest, my hands were shaking all over the place and I was anxious as hell

    What raw marks in extension 2 generally correspond to state ranks?

    Ahh, that's so simple I'm surprised I didn't notice it. Thanks for the explanation. Good to know that if I'm struggling on an integral with a power of 2 in the denominator I'll consider this. Any other 'tricks' like this to watch out for? Most of the integrals in the HSC aren't too hard (usual...

    What raw marks in extension 2 generally correspond to state ranks?

    There hasn't been a tricky integral in a couple of years, I feel like we are due for a hard integration question

    Any details about 2021 4u math new syllabus?

    It's easier. They removed some of the 'useless in real life stuff' (like conics and circle geometry) and included some stuff that will help more in first year studies. Most of it stays the same. They removed two of the free-mark topics though (conics and volumes), both of which were really quite...

    Doing Brave New World as a related text to 1984 will compromise my essay???

    Hey, I've been told that: a) Doing texts of the same textual form could limit your analysis b) Brave New World (like Metropolis, Blade Runner etc) are texts that have already been covered many times in the HSC, and so using them in essays means that it would be difficult for markers to see...

    How do you approach bringing in a sheet of notes for your exams?

    Gotta bring in one a4 double-sided sheet of notes on Ext 1 exam (sigh) on parametrics, polynomials + harder 2U (Integration, Calculus, Locus). What should you put on the sheet? Questions with solutions, or formulas not on the data sheet? We have never had this so I have no idea how to approach...
