    Economics or Biology

    something like - chem -physics -3u maths - eco - eng It's just the combination of subjects that asians from the top 5 schools tend to pick - all the subjects tend to be quite high scaling and mathy/sciency. Some variations include the asian 6 :D

    Well, if you're an advanced student you can always ask aiming4dental school. If you're not, then toughie. Such is the way of discrimination. In all seriousness, an essay doesn't have to be sophisticated argueably. You can get away with a simple argument + simple language as long as your...

    Fine by me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. EDIT: I don't understand why you're quoting the "to sum it up" though. It holds no significance towards your argument - or post at all.

    Since when did I mention you had to be a state ranker? The primary concern I have with her "service" is the implications behind it. Why can't the limit be a 'first come first serve basis?'. I'm not asking her to mark every essay that comes her way, I'm simply asking why she is discriminating...

    Economics or Biology

    I personally find Eco harder than Bio because you need to grasp the fundalmentals of Eco and understand them as opposed to bio, where being such a content-heavy subject, you can get away with rote-learning (to a degree). There are also no calculations in Bio - it's abit like history (apart from...

    UNSW Open Day 2014.

    Also, is the co-op scholarship only really for finance/business areas? Like are you ever going to get one in education, science or arts?

    If you have awesome time-managment, am able to pace yourself well and can commit well to long-term projects, nope. Just keep in mind that you're placing more stress on yourself with every major work you take up, because apparently they're all dued around the same time (i think it's all in the...

    IMHO this shouldn't not be free. You have no legit credentials apart from getting 'A's in your Class/ school assessments, which honestly, doesn't give much of an indicator of how well you do in English in comparison to everyone else. For all we know, a large percentage of your cohort also gets...

    Confused about marking criteria

    If you've described the theory you should have also identified it. I mean, how do you describe something without knowing what it is? You shouldn't have lost the mark unless you got the wrong theory altogether. I suggest you ask your teacher why you lost your mark and go from there.

    Confused about marking criteria

    If the question asks you to describe a theory, you describe it. If you only identify a theory you would probably only get a percentage of the total mark. I.e if it's a 3 mark question, you may only get one mark for idenifying, one mark for describing and maybe one for an example etc. Always do...

    James Ruse vs NBSC Manly

    Not sure if srs Unless it's going to take you 2hours of travel time, go to ruse. Chances are, you will do better there. I would only really suggest manly if you either live nearby, or want to do one or more subject that aren't really offered, in which case manly probably offers it through cross...

    University fee deregulation

    Wait, so they're going ahead with the uni fee deregulations? I thought nothing had been confirmed yet?

    Urgent urgent help needed

    Uh, nope. If OP ranks badly and bombs out in externals, unless you go to ruse, you're going to do badly. Op, if you can rank within top 60%, you should be fine - most schools in top 15 have around 60% with 90+ I'm guessing that top 20 will at least have 60% of cohort with ATAR of 85+

    Extra marks given investigation

    Personally I wouldn't keep the mark. Honestly one mark isn't worth the amount of guilt I'll be facing haha xD But that's just me. I know like 95% of the time, my friends wouldn't return the mark - or if they did, they'll do it reluctantly (and it's usuallu b/c someone else found out about their...

    I'm planning to ~generally~ memorise an essay. Why would your studying now affect any time constraints during the test? that came out wrong but hopefully you get the gist of what I'm asking. You studying for your english now, has no impact on your time constraints in the test. Feel free to take...

    haha visual arts is half rote-learning in theory-ish. But then again I'm failing the theory component so maybe it isn't C: Tutoring is, IMO, good for those with long attention spans. Agreed on eng and rote-learning bit. Although you need your own ideas for everything.
