Er, not quite. Like any other test, it can be studied for.

That's actually a very good way of studying the speeches module. Understanding the context and the language techniques is enough to get you a band 4 - 5. If you can compare the speeches effectively you should be looking at a band 6, hopefully.

You've got mistakes in the option topic and it's missing some points. I remember commenting on that 2 days before the Chem exam last year... Don't take it personally, though. Just some constructive criticism.

The people from Sydney who don't make it into UNSW will probably have UWS down as a second preference. I don't think you should assume the people who make it into UWS med will be stupid - do you have any idea how many people who get UAIs of 99.5+ get rejected from UNSW?

Why not play poker online? If you're good at it, you can even quit school/uni and make a living off playing electronic Texas Hold'em

I think I originally posted that somewhere, but it didn't turn out to be true. Now that we're in though, some of the interviewers have told us who they thought had good interviews. And about lying....don't. Unless you're really good at it, they'll probably catch you out.

Excellent means excellent. Dig through his old posts if you want to find out.

You won't get the co-op on marks alone - you need much more than that.

Phwoar. Our year is only 55% female (official stats) even though it looks like more in the lectures.

Well then you can sit on your high horse while everybody else gets in. Quite honestly, a hell of a lot of people in UNSW did coaching for the UMAT. While I don't condone UMAT/interview coaching and personally did not do any courses myself, the reality of it is that people will do anything to...

It's 18, not 13

Maybe they should have saved the "Average show" joke for themselves, it was that mediocre.

$8000 a year at Sydney if you got 100 $5000 a year if you got 99.95. I *think* 99.85+ get offered something too. $6000 once off from UNSW and $2000 from the Australian government if you're in the top 150 students in NSW. All the above ones do not need to be applied for. Yeah, jm...

You ask for other ppl's but you don't share yours? That's not right...

They're not quite as relevant as you may think...MOST of the multiple choice questions are good practice, and some of the algorithms are quite tough. Other than that, a lot of it isn't necessary to learn.

If you wrote your perfect essay properly, it will fit anything they ask. Just learn to read the syllabus. Trust me, it does work.

Software is a great subject. If you're anywhere half decent at it you'll get your name in the paper for being in the top 10.

You memorise really good essays. That's all you need to do for HSC English.

No, it isn't. You can do ESL and be accepted into UNSW med. But I would suggest you get a written confirmation of that from somebody involved in the selection process.

Both wrong. See above.
