ATAR requirement for straight Comm at USYD is pretty high. E.g. For my year, I needed an ATAR of 95 to get into Commerce, but an extra 0.05 ATAR would get me into Engineering/Commerce. That being said, I do know quite a few people doing straight commerce.

I'd suggest buying the Dot Point HSC Physics and Dot Point HSC Chemistry, they have questions on each of the syllabus dot points.

I hear the mining boom is slowing down though. Would it still be a good idea to get into the mining sector after getting a degree (so around 5 years time from now), taking this into account?

All that the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Space) degree does is replace a subject pear year with a space related subject in order to give you a foothold in the space industry. It helps if you're looking for a space-related job, but doesn't harm your chances of getting a job that normal...

Re: The Official Football Thread Mourinho knows he's good and can make an impact at Manchester United, and since we have a very small chance at actually winning the PL this season by giving us Mata we can use him to stand a better chance against Arsenal, Liverpool, etc. which would give Chelsea...

Hey guys, I was just wondering if it would be useful to take a laptop to university, and if so then which subjects would you recommend I take it to? I'm doing a double degree with commerce, so maybe it'd be useful for those subjects also, where I assume there's more note-taking? Thanks :)

Semester 1: BUSS1001 ENGG1801 MECH1560 MATH1001 (changing it to MATH1901 when I get the chance) MATH1002 (changing to MATH1902 when I get the chance) Semester 2: BUSS1030 AMME1362 ENGG1802 MATH1003 (changing to MATH1903 when I can) MATH1005 (by now you'll know what goes here)

Lol my bad, you are correct. I missed that entire last bit. Thanks for clarifying that up, I'd rather have a grammar nazi fix it up than OP become confused.

It's been said here before, but I'll say it again. Moles. Personally, I understood this the very lesson it was taught, and thought it to be one of the easier topics, but pretty much the entire cohort had trouble with this topic. It's also an important concept to know for HSC Chem, so that made...

Zeref is correct, mass defect is calculated through the difference in mass between the LHS and the RHS. In this sort of reaction the RHS will have a smaller mass since some of the mass transforms into energy (which the nuclear power plant utilises for power). Then to find the energy released...

As a space probe enters the gravitational field of the planet, some of the momentum of the planet is transferred to the momentum of the space probe. p=mv, as momentum of the planet is lost, it's velocity also decreases however the planet's mass is great enough that there is no significant change...

Big problem with your first point. They did NOT prove that there was no aether (or ether). I think quite a few people get this bit wrong. How I remember it is by remembering that there was "absence of evidence, not evidence of absence". Einstein then came along to prove that there was no need...

That's what I wanted to do! Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical)/Bachelor of Commerce I :)

What are the benefits of doing the advanced courses? I asked the year advisors today and they said there's no scaling, so if that's right then there's no real benefit to doing advanced subjects other than having a challenge, right?

Takes a lot of skill to suck at scanning :P

What are the requirements for doing advanced levels of chem/math (or anything else in general that has advanced subject options)?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but when employers look at companies where applicants have studied they don't look at the crime rate of the city where they worked, do they?

So many people doing Combined Commerce with IS (not only here, but friends also). Why are so many people doing that?

I would have assumed that a raw 98 would probably align to a HSC mark of 100 though. Guess not then

Yeah I just didn't word it properly. Not sure what I wrote but definitely not that.
