    Is studying a double degree worth it?

    You should look at Computer Science over soft eng in my opinion. Not having done SDD won't impact you too much. Sure it helps with a lot of theory and problem solving with the tasks you have to do, but you can still do well without having done SDD. You'll just need to put in effort into learning...

    What is your iq?

    I had an official IQ test done and my IQ was 127 or 137(probably 137 ;) ) , I can't remember which one. Apparently 140+ is classified as a *genius* =( I'm not really sure IQ means much though lol.

    ATAR estimate?

    I would probably use trial marks. It's the idea that I used and it was quite good. However remember to take aligning and relative difficulty into account. Don't just input raw trial marks.

    comp sci unsw hard?

    No? Who told you that. If you work hard you can get HD. It's not some crazy impossible thing that only a genius can get lol. No doubt it is hard to get a High distinction, and I mean that's the point. Great things don't ever come easy. The final questions in the exams are ridiculously...

    How's uni?

    I reckon you'll be fine. No one can do year 12 for 4 years. In Uni you like what you do so it comes naturally. It doesn't feel draining like dam I gotta study. Yeah all lectures are recorded. Rarely for math however you might have 1 lecturer who does everything on a blackboard so the recording...

    How's uni?

    Transition to uni: Quite good. Everyone is friendly Workload: Definitely more than HSC. Now that I'm used to it, not too bad. Trimester 1 was hectic though as I slacked off a bit, but pulled myself up Trimester 2. The extra freedom is AMAZING. I literally only attend one day a week even though...

    Do you think it's possible to get a 95 ATAR?

    Definitely, at the end of year 11 my atar prediction was much below yours and I did get a 95+ atar. Everyone steps their game up in year 12. It's natural and you will too, but yes you can definitely excel and get that 95+ Also keep in mind, your marks get aligned in the HSC, so you may have...

    BoS School holiday HSC Seminars

    I would encourage everyone to go to the Math one. I was lucky enough to have Carrotsticks as a tutor and man is he good! I would say the best teacher I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend this seminar

    Teenager's parabola equation published in academic journal

    I'm no mathematician but it took him 2 weeks to do it. Unless he's Ramanujan or something who can dream up formulas, how haven't Mathematicians already proved it? Like if people can prove stuff like Fermats last theorem and dedicate 10 years of their life to it, how come no one dedicated 2 weeks...

    Last days

    Also because getting to uni is a pain. At least in school it was like a 20min bus ride of pure madness with my friends, it was so fun, we literally owned the bus. Whereas the train rides are all me sitting there silently completely bored.

    what can i do for a pre-study for yr 11 math extention 1?

    It is a crime to use the MathInFocus textbook. It's so useless that it should be actually be made illegal. If your aiming for E4 please for the love of god get another textbook... Don't bother with homework given from MIF, I never did a single bit of HW my teacher gave me from that

    20th September Climate change strike

    While I agree it's all for a good cause, protesting should not be the main focus. Protesting is not going to get much done. What we should instead be doing is increasing funding in the Science sector, because it's the new discoveries of Scientists that will stop the climate change. For example...

    Question about acceleration for rocket launch and return

    That was a year ago.... In any case I think it's better to write it as: \sum F = T + mg \Rightarrow a = \frac{T + mg}{m} because Newtons second law states that the SUM of forces add to ma. It is therefore better to write it like that as then when the rocket is going up, gravity acts against...
