Hi Tacenda, There is some overlap between Year 11 and 12 content, but I would say most of the Year 12 content is completely new. The reason for this is because Year 11 focuses on microeconomics - looking at a small part of the economy and learning about concepts such as demand/supply for a...

Hi Ralphwigg, Both universities are very well-regarded, especially for arts and international studies-related subjects. You really can't go wrong with either choice. What I suggest you look at would be factors such as what careers you might be looking at pursuing (seeing as the two courses you...

I think law at UNSW is definitely more interactive and engaging due to the teaching style which is heavily focused on class discussions rather than lectures. This teaching method encourages students to complete all their readings so that they can make contributions to class discussions or ask...

It really does depend on what type of firm the students work in. It's important to note that simply graduating in law from UNSW/USyd does not automatically guarantee a particular position/salary. According to this website, the range of salaries for a junior solicitor would be between $40 000 -...

Most schools have a policy where students who are unable to pay school fees will have the school fees waived. You should discuss with the school and I'm sure that once they know about your financial circumstances, they'll understand.

From my understanding of the two, the UBS business cadetship is more demanding. This is because the UNSW Co-op program extends your degree by one year thus allowing you to complete 3 industry placement programs. During the industry placement programs, you only work on that and do not need to...

Ok, so for the secondary market, shares are sold at a price determined by demand/supply. Higher demand (more people who want to buy the shares), means higher price, less demand equals lower price. Some people may find that the share price has reached a reasonably high price and want to cash out...

So the primary financial market is where securities are first issued (e.g. a company sells shares on the stock market for the first time, at a price set by the company). The secondary market is where people trade securities after the initial issuing of securities (e.g. people who bought shares...

Hi, I have studied economics, but not the other two subjects (I have heard from friends that legal studies there is quite a bit of content - cases, legal principles, etc). I personally found economics to be quite interesting as it gives you a better understanding of business and the financial...

There is definitely enough time to catch up and still do well in your Year 12 studies if you start working hard and put in the effort. While it is good to get into the habit of developing effective study strategies in Year 11 (as a practice for HSC), luckily your Year 11 results should not...

Here are a few websites I found on 1984/Metropolis comparison: https://savemyhsc.com.au/metropolis-and-1984-comparison/ https://owlcation.com/humanities/A-comparison-between-George-Orwells-1984-and-Fritz-Langs-Metropolis...

The trial paper is just as the name suggests - 'a trial' run of the HSC which is supposed to help students become acquainted to the HSC exam format, managing time and answering questions to score high marks. This usually means the trial is a good practice run for students to understand what they...

ECON1101 (Microeconomics Ease: 8.5/10 - This is supposed to be the easiest core commerce subject. 20% of the marks come from simply completing the Playconomics game (however, the game was really riddled with bugs and server crashes, and I found the game didn't really relate to the content we...

Hi, I studied French for my HSC and I have to agree listening was perhaps the most difficult skill. It is definitely advised that you try to immerse yourself in the French language in order to become familiar with the listening to French words. You might try watching French tv shows/movies and...

Thanks so much for that. It's interesting to note how different the figures seem to be between the ABS and the textbook (Riley says social welfare was 9.9% in 2016, Dixon says 10% in 2014)? Is it because the textbook's data is 2015-16, but I can't seem to find that year's data on sources of income.

Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused about Q12 of the 2017 HSC Eco exam: Which of the following correctly ranks, from largest to smallest, the sources of income as a percentage of Australian household income? A. Returns to labour, returns to enterprise, returns to land and capital...

The manufacturer warranties and the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees are separate. The warranty may only cover one or two years, but the guarantee should extend beyond if there is a genuine problem: https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees/warranties

Hi, What chefcurry30 says is absolutely right, an Arts/Law degree would give you the best of both worlds, allowing you to complete a law degree while also pursuing your passions of English and Music. For example, at UNSW if you do an Arts/Law degree you would pick one major and one minor. For...
