    Notes/advice for Economics, Legal Studies, and Business Studies!

    This is a great resource but it would be better to upload them to 'resources'. That way it's so much easier for future students to find.

    Atar

    By natural intelligence I'm assuming you mean something like IQ. While it's skeptical it still shows a positive trend even though not being absolute. For HSC natural intelligence plays a very small part. Someone with an average IQ can definitely get a 98+ atar as HSC relies on how hard you work...

    Can someone give me advice and suggestions on how to study properly?

    Write down your goals everyday. This will give you an incentive to complete them. I had the same problem as you and I thought this would never work, but surprisingly it did and I was procrastinating soo much less. My productivity actually sky rocketed.

    I would love to but I don't think my post count is high enough. Should I even try applying with such a low number of posts?

    How does Uni work?

    Yeaaaaah..... well I mean it's really similar to discrete maths, it's not like your taking any advanced differential equation or analysis classes for Cs.

    How does Uni work?

    Soft Eng focuses solely on developing perfect software that meets users needs. It therefore requires you to do boring af courses such as Software construction and programming and ethics where you will learn about the users needs and all that bs. Computer Science skips all that boring stuff and...

    How does Uni work?

    Well whoever told you is basically a math degree is just talking crap lol, it's far from it. Either way going to Unsw or Usyd your expected to pick up things really fast. If you feel as though this might be an issue you should try it out first and then if you are struggling transfer to Uts. They...

    How does Uni work?

    Woah woah slow down there 😅 You get one offer and that's the highest preference that your eligible for. After you choose you should get an email from your uni with a little congratulations and what not from which it will direct you to a page to start your enrollment such as how your gonna pay...

    Has anyone done/is doing mathematical sciences degree at ANU?

    Well all students do the same first year math courses as Math majors, and Unsw/Usyd is pretty similar. Honestly hardly any time was spent revising X2 lol. Which is why it's so valuable to have done it in high school. Complex numbers was done in a week. Integration was also basically done in a...

    (discussion in a lab report) how to answer to "how do you control any other variables"?

    I mean it depends on the question. Honestly there's nothing to it but just thinking of any variables in your experiment. I don't know how you can have a general formula for that lol.

    Has anyone done/is doing mathematical sciences degree at ANU?

    I would honestly recommend Usyd for Maths. Really the only reason Anu is ranked so high is because it's Australia's 'National' University which means it spends a shitload of money on research. That's all they're about 'research'. I would say do Undergrad at Usyd and if you want to do a Phd after...

    getting into unsw commerce with a lower atar?

    I'm pretty sure Max is 5 everywhere at unsw. I know some unis for e.g. Macquarie and Wsu that give more. Either way if they were below the cutoff with the 5 bonus points then they would've probably got in through special consideration for disadvantaged schools or something like that

    Physics Predictions/Thoughts

    What questions are you doubtful on? As long as it's not one of those Chemical reaction questions that are really Chemistry/Nuclear Physics, I can answer them.

    Physics Predictions/Thoughts

    I would recommend choosing one of those only and then combining it with an 'actual' degree. I say this as a Physics major because if you look at statistics a degree in just math or physics has the worst post uni outcomes in terms of employment. Sure if your just set on doing one of those you can...

    Physics Predictions/Thoughts

    Trust hsc physics will no where near prepare you for uni Physics. I’ve done contest physics so I was fine, but you should’ve seen the number of people complaining about how hard first year physics was because all they’d done was hsc physics. Which brings me to that hsc physics should require at...

    Physics Predictions/Thoughts

    after an extensive look at the paper. I have made a conclusion. Here are my thoughts The paper is still just as shit as the old syllabus papers. Literally all it has is 3 'actual' calculations that aren't just trivial substitution. Lol what a joke, this kind of exam provides nothing but an...
