If I haven’t miscounted, whichever subject you drop, you will still be doing fourteen units. If this is the case, you have ample redundancy for your ATAR so the two main questions are: 1) Do you need either as a prerequisite for your first preference of Uni course (or would it stand you in...

The four target diagrams at the bottom of this web page illustrate accuracy & precision very nicely: http://kaffee.50webs.com/Science/labs/Lab-Precision.vs.Accuracy.html

Most of the med schools don’t reveal the proportions that ATAR, UCAT & interview contribute to the final score & ranking, but since most applicants who get an interview would have already achieved very high ATARs & UCAT scores, it’s likely that the main discriminator would be the interview. I...

MBBS (bachelor of medicine & bachelor of surgery) is in essence a double degree in one course. No, I don’t think this would significantly impact on the medical graduate‘s intern placement or subsequent prospects of getting into a specialist training program.

Flexing might be a post event phenomena, but I doubt that flexing would be a motivation for prospectively taking on a heavy study load. It could be that Uni prerequisite subjects, the student’s strongest subjects and the subjects the student finds most interesting are all different (noting that...

She signed non-disclosure agreements, so it’s not appropriate to post details publicly (and to be honest, I didn’t ask her for details so that she wouldn’t breach her NDAs but she gave general feedback as to how she went in each interview). The main points I think I can safely share are: a) She...

WSU med is a more convenient commute than UNSW for anyone living in the west or southwest and it is also one year less of study. The commute probably isn’t as bad with the other degrees which allow arranging contact hours to fit into a maximum of three days on campus, but the degrees you listed...

It might be worthwhile to seek some advice on this - there are very few places in med for people applying as Uni students whereas the majority of places go to high school students. An ATAR of 98.85 isn’t far off from 99+ and I suspect interviews and UCAT results (for which you would now have...

I wonder if anyone at JRAHS sat the Adv Maths exam. The only subject a student has achieved first in state is agriculture.

More likely, when he was engaged in his self described ‘gedanken experiment’ thoughts, he wasn’t following what was going on in class, but I doubt that he found the material challenging.

It's actually so much easier to offer acceleration now that there are programs like Maths Pathways & Maths Online. They didn't have do any rescheduling or anything special for my son, who just worked a few years ahead of his classmates with these programs which everyone in the class used. School...

There may be scenarios in which it is worth risking 100 in 2U to sit 4U. For example, if 3U & 4U marks are likely to be 98 and mark in next best subject is likely to be <94, then sitting 4U would score 196 out of best four units, whereas not sitting would score <196 (ie. 100 + 49 + <47). My son...

My son was also accelerated and was advised that sitting the Maths Ex 2 exam effectively negates the Adv Maths result. It can be a bit of a gamble if a student's Adv Maths mark is much higher than they are likely to score in MEx2, but then MEx1 also counts for two units rather than one, so these...

I think what’s happened is that the students with K surnames from 2020 cohort are listed in the 2021 K list and the students with K surnames from 2021 cohort are listed in the 2021 L list, so the students with L surnames from 2021 cohort aren’t listed anywhere.

Some subjects are only one unit.

🤷🏻‍♀️ No real idea - just offering a possible suggestion that may have contributed to the unusual (& seemingly disappointing) occurences.

is it possible fewer students sat chemistry & physics in 2021?? Perhaps the fact that lockdown periods were so extended affected learning in these subjects (which have a greater practical component than other subjects), so students dropped these subjects in favour of subjects that were easier to...

I noticed a while ago that they‘ve taken down the 2020 list as well as the 2021.

I’ve looked up a few students from our school - I think the list is about what I would have expected.

The tuition fee is waived by most unis if the Masters is by research because the student is essentially doing research work for free, but you’d need money to live on and as per above posts it‘s hard to get scholarships. Many institutions will try to secure funding to offer Masters & PhD students...
