Hello. I have heard that at UNSW and USyd, people in their first years of economics and commerce degrees do exactly the same subjects. Can anybody confirm/deny this? If I fail to meet the cutoffs for commerce, I am planning to do economics and transfer to commerce. If I do this, will I have to...

The HSC is such a bully, scaring people like this. I say that we all growl at it and scare it back! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

In my opinion, it is better to make sure you have covered all the syllabus dot points. With trials a week away, there is a high possibility that a question may be asked on a syllabus point that was not covered in the past papers that you have done (which will be very limited in number due to...

You don't "need" any subjects to achieve a UAI of 95+. You can achieve a 95+ UAI with any combination of subjects. What you "need" are marks good enough to get you a 95+ UAI.

Well you can shake my hand... I've done about 15 minutes of hw at home this year... The rest I didn't do/did it at lunch. I haven't been doing classwork for most of my subjects either... sigh...

Chemistry, physics and biology means triple the confusion!

Why 4U students don't do 2U tests: Almost all of the people I know agree that it is easier to get a better mark in 2U than 3U, even after considering scaling. This means that to most students, having 3U and 4U count as 2 units is actually a DISADVANTAGE. Of course, there may be a few...

Almost exactly what I was thinking, especially the bold bits.

The idea of the HSC is to differentiate between students. If 4U students were to do a 2U test, then there will be very little separating the 2U marks of the 4U people. The vast majority of them will get 95-100. If they make the 2U test harder to accommodate for the 4U people, then in the same...

I accelerated 2U and 3U maths this year. Everybody in my class who got around 90 for 3U got close to 95 in 2U (±1).

am I the only one who thought of something naughty after reading the title?

hmmm... I heard from the person who's 3rd in general maths at my school that he did every single Q on the prelim with his graphics calculator. They can solve equs and stuff (forgot the rest).

Where is the "Maths 3 Unit and 4 Unit UAI and scaling" forum?

I screwed up my maths. Oh well I'll just repeat next yr. It's the third consecutive year that someone from my school has gotten 1st in the state in a subject. I don't think this can continue next yr, I just don't see anybody in my form capable of doing that, even though our form is supposed...

The library is the best. You can't do anything except work, coz if you make any noise the whole library would stare and growl at you. I'm planning on going regularly next term, as I just can't do anything at home.

they get graphics calculators and can basically do everything on their calcs

when dy/dx is not defined

Given that z=cis@, show that z^n+z^-n=2cosn@. Hence, solve the equation 4z^4-4z^3+6z^2-4z+4=0

My class has done complex numbers, polynomials and harder circle geo
