    is this a better alternative?

    No... that would be a very stupid thing to do, waste a whole year just because you're worried about it. Seriously UMAT doesn't need that much preparation, a few practice IQ like questions, a few comprehension problems and you're set. Not hard at all, if you manage your time well you'll have...

    Medical Interviews

    Different universities have slightly different interview approaches. Some have mini tests within them testing your communication skills while others don't. I went to quite a few and pretty much all of them were interviews to see if you had a life/understanding of the world around you unrelated...

    Never done BIO before. Really struggling in Microbiology and Physiology

    Before you go out and purchase a really expensive medical dictionary try using the online dictionaries, ie put "define: "word" " into the google search and see all the definitions. I've just had so many people tell me not to buy one of those ridiculously expensive dictionaries when its all...

    balancing HSC and job

    Scientifically speaking, any job that takes more then 10 hours a week is going to be detrimental to your studies. I didn't have a job during year 12, but I was co-curricular queen, I also did mass amounts of volunteering and if anything it was nice to be able to have some work which I could do...

    Paying Uni Fees Upfront

    Can someone point me in the direction of a savings account that offers 20% interest either every year, or via compound, because the highest I can find is 7.5%, and that's only for the first year. Or even an investment that reliably offered 20% in returns. Don't you have to pay tax if you are...

    Need help on speech + analyse film.

    Okay to keep of the recounting path your plan for your speech should be about your analysis using examples from the plot to back it up. Rather then the other way around. I think Alfie's biggest journey is into his own belief system... yeah I would change those words if I was you. Pretty much...

    University Prerequisites

    I'd be weary of "socialise with people of own intellectual maturity" while this may be true, keep in mind that these uni students may not want to socialise with you. I don't mean to be harsh but while you may be their intellecutal equal, a lot of kids don't spend their free time talking about...

    Paying Uni Fees Upfront

    I guess the real issue is could she use the money better now? A 20% discount looks pretty nice, and not having to pay it off in the future would probably be a great start on saving... but it might just be better to use that money better now. So... I reckon unless she has a lot of money, or her...

    Rules for Customers

    I don't do this much but every time the show comes round for a few years I've been working selling show bags, money's not great but you get heaps of discounts for all the rides. Most people there are great, if a little tired, but I just really hated it when some customer would give me the...

    One in four lie on CV - Have YOU ever lied??

    I think there is a huge difference between someone on this forum lying about having a casual job or work experience, with someone who actually pretended they were a doctor. I mean seriously... one is placing the public at great risk, while the other is not. I mean who would lie about being a...

    First Impressions Of Yr 11 Chem...Not good

    With pretty much all my subjects I had a love hate relationship, one day I'd be like "omg physics is da bomb" while other days English advanced did it for me. I think what did annoy me about physics was that they gave us these equations to work out how the world worked only to say "yeah but it...

    University Prerequisites

    I understand the need for a challenge intellectually, but why not keep doing the HSC mixed in with some gifted and talented program ie olympiads/CSIRO research scheme etc. This way you can still enjoy the social life of your age group... Plus you can go to the University of Syd, and possibly...

    Does God exist?

    If you die before you've had a chance to learn about God then you also go to heaven, this also goes for people who practice some random tribal religion but have had no exposure to the Christian God. As long as you're not a psycho killer of course... So basically new born babies, tribal, and...

    Honestly, how long?

    Maybe she's freaked out by your brash obvious come on How about you talk about what SHE wants to do, because I can guarantee you that if you guys do something she wants to do, she will be much happier to see if she can make you a happy chappy. Maybe she's a virgin, maybe she's scared, maybe...
