at this point, spam past papers to find things you don’t know well then review the basics of those things in the textbook and finally, go through the syllabus and be able to answer all the points should they have been asked of you as questions, if you can’t go back to past papers! always timed...

i tell this to all the students i tutor about once a lesson: the people that write the exam already know what the answer is, they just want to know that you know how to get there!

usually correct answer is only one part of the marking scheme ie no you won’t get full marks just for the answer in most large-mark questions

oh and my apologies to everyone who contributed some way of studying that involved the specific scheduling and timing, i'm aware that works for some people but more often than not (including with a majority of the students I tutor), arbitrary blocks have the effect of breaking the deep focus...

i had sort of the same problem in yr12 and to be honest, a strict timetable didn't help me keep accountable at all, just made me feel guilty for not having gotten done what i had scheduled because i got side tracked with something else obviously this is going to be very personal since it's...

absolutely agree that you don't **need** to do them for a high ATAR, so to speak, but if one feels capable of doing the 'difficult' subjects it will usually be worth it to go for high scaling and will almost invariably result in higher ATAR - to an extent though this outlook is somewhat...

absolutely support your overall message but subjects definitely do matter, while you should definitely not choose subjects based on scaling, it is an unfortunate reality that the highest scaled marks (aside from the obvious near-100 in the lower courses) will be awarded to the better scaling...

my original degree was BSc(Physics) & BAS(Chemistry), not law as you mightve figured from the chronology of my response above-- I did transfer into law yes, but i was already pretty interested in it so it wasn't like a big spontaneous decision. i'm not entirely sure about transfer reqs since i...

i do research with usyd school of physics and doing literature review its so clear that innovation in society is stopped primarily by policy and funding rather than actual research limitations, so i got interested in the legal/policy side of things and got very interested in law from there...

tldr if you think you can do better you will RAHHHHH

semester 2 has a welcome week too 😇😇😇

NO the best thing abt welcome week (apart from freebies ofc) is asking the political clubs to argue and then walk away there is nothing more satisfying

LOL it was actually evil of usu to put labor and liberal across from each other tho so good all the religious clubs were like at the very end on the grass outside the quad like facing the stage

on welcome week u could see ppl with palestine posters outside the jewish students association like the whole day was actually so funny

yeah it’s so good u also gotta do decent amount of maths for phys prerequisites does feel like a bit of a fever dream walking from an optics tutorial to a contracts seminar to a vector calc tutorial tho lmfao

yuh that’s what i was talking about the israel flag across from the palestinian protest is insane 💀

IP Lawwwww if that fails i’ll work at the newsagent

yeah i’m ngl i haven’t met a single zionist at least loudly apart from conservative club tents at welcome week lmao

me if i had a death wish usyd superiority RAHHHH

prettt much the opposite from my experience but as i said usyd/unsw for undergrad practically the same, i think usyd graduate salary is marginally higher but not by enough to bother about it
