    How would i get a good ATAR

    Be confident? Just relax when you're in an exam. If you freeze up in exams, imagine how you're going to be teaching the content to an entire class!

    Can someone help me with something?

    I'm at USYD, hence I'm going to tell you how amazing it is. It has a rather extensive amount of arts majors that you can choose from, however my experience has only been within the fields of linguistics and European languages. What area were you interested in?

    Transfer after first year

    Re: Missed first preference, transfer after first year Well, I've transferred twice, although it was to degrees with a lower cut-off. You should probably read the sticky topics regarding transfers. If I had to guess, I'd say aim for at least a high credit to guarantee a place. But wait until...

    Transfer after first year

    Re: Missed first preference, transfer after first year Marks could get scaled, it depends on your faculty. I'm in arts and I think we all get put onto the bell curve at the end. I was certain with one of my subjects last year that I was going to get a distinction. We didn't even have a final...

    Introductory Languages move too fast!

    Are you in Jacqueline's tutorial? My case is similar how I did Greek last year, although it's a far more complex language and seemed more like a grammar class at times. We got through the present, two types of past, two types of imperative, two types of future, and the subjunctive. But we...

    Introductory Languages move too fast!

    Introductory French is moving at a perfect pace for me. Italian is alright, although a bit slow for my liking. Last year Greek just went so tediously slow, but I enjoyed the casual aspect of our classes. However it is a far more challenging language, yet still they certainly could have pushed us...

    Could someone help me make a logo please?

    It would really suck to be a graphic designer. It's like everyone expects you to work for free.

    Hmm, ever thought you've chosen the wrong course?

    It'll probably sound foolish, but simply to a B Arts.

    Are there any universities in Sydney that offer a major in Esperanto?

    I doubt it, Esperanto isn't exactly a major-worthy area of study. There's a place near USYD that runs courses though.

    I think i cocked up my subjects

    It will say that for basic engineering maths. If you did extension, then no worries. If you did normal, then they'd expect you to have at least gotten a band 5. But forget about it for now, you've already chosen your subjects, and you'll never be rejected from uni for not meeting the assumed...

    Computer security club?

    SUGS are $1 for lamb souvlakia. I think the extra cost is worth it.

    Computer security club?

    Once you've had a Greek Soc BBQ, you'll never go back to SUITS.

    I think i cocked up my subjects

    If you struggle with 3 unit, you better pick up your game. University will move onto 4 unit concepts and beyond pretty quickly. It won't necessarily build on topics from school, but will require a similar level of sophistication to answer. On the other hand, people from all mathematical...

    Computer security club?

    Wouldn't SUITS cover all that?

    Hmm, ever thought you've chosen the wrong course?

    I regretted engineering every day last year. It was oh so dreadfully boring. Transferring was an excellent decision.

    Transfer to architecture

    Depends on the uni. Whichever has the most similar first year subjects would be best.

    Arabic?

    Well I can't really compare to any other uni, but I've enjoyed all my language courses. In fact I'd say my language teachers have been the highest quality out of all the university instructors I've had. USYD also has a much wider range of languages than other unis, from Arabic to Yiddish, and...

    Psychology and Mathematics Discussion

    'fucking it up' would probably be defined as scoring less than necessary to get you into uni. What's the ATAR cutoff for psych at where you want to go?
