No, you have to do Medicine. You can do Medical Science or Advanced Science and then transfer into medicine

Why do you want to do medicine?

Good luck! Great to see you have done your research. Interviewers like seeing applicants with a mature, realistic perspective of what Medicine entails and why they want to do it

Your final HSC mark is the average of your external mark (the mark you get sitting the HSC exam) and your internal mark (your internal school assessment marks added up) Your internal mark depends on how you do relative to your peers in internal school assessments and thus your ranking is important

I agree. It's important for people to know what they are getting into when applying for medicine. I've heard and seen of so many doctors drop out in the first few years. The hierarchical structure in medicine means that bullying is rife in medicine. There are med students now thinking about...

As cliche as it sounds pick something you are good at and enjoy. If you don't enjoy your job, chances are you won't do well in it whilst if you enjoy it, you will work hard and more likely to succeed. Studying a course you don't enjoy can be quite difficult let alone working in it for the rest...

Bottom line - doing anything is hard. I also think people wanting to do Medicine for prestige, money & to help people will be in for a rude shock when they actually become doctors. With the Medical Student Tsunami, getting into the specialty of your choice is extremely competitive with many...

I went to dux for MX2 back in my years. It was a great place. Tutors dedicated, homework very exam style (at least for MX2). I wouldn't have gotten the marks I got if it weren't for dux and I highly recommend it to anyone considering. Rates are reasonable too.

It's not impossible to get Band 6 in Standard. around 60 students get Band 6 in English Standard so how is that "impossible to get"? You just have to work hard! Also, 90+ ATAR is definitely achievable in English Standard!!! I got 99.80 ATAR and I did English Standard! It all depends on your...

low 90s

I got 93 in English Standard - State rank in 2010. pm me if you're interested

dont procrastinate follow the syllabus read to understand not to memorise etc basically use common sense :P

^In 2010, an English Standard mark of 92 didn't get a state rank so I guess it also depends on the candidature in the certain year

I did Distinctively visual for Standard English too I did war poems. tbh, it doesn't really matter what supp texts you choose as long as they have a distinctively visual focus. Your thesis in Distinctively Visual should always be about HOW the techniques in certain texts CREATE images in our...

Okay, that is a nice start. Don't worry too much because I didn't do too well in my first assessment tasks. There's always room for improvement. Btw, why did you pick english standard? For the monologue, take a look at the marking criteria they give you. You should try and relate the experiences...

haha good luck :D if you're aiming for Band 6 in Standard, make sure you're ranked 1st in your school and smash the externals. I know people who have scored 98+ ATAR with Band 5 in Standard English so a Band 6 is not essential but is better I suppose :P

My standard mark was 93. 7th in state :) and the top ATAR in 2010 for Standard English was 99.80 so for all those people out there saying that Standard English limits your ATAR, that is not true!!!!

okay, I do law at UNSW USYD takes the traditional approach to teaching where they chuck all 300+ students in a lecture room. UNSW is more interactive. Class sizes are around 40 where you get to discuss things in class, engage in group work, etc. Class Participation for law subjects in UNSW are...

Hi :D I see you're aiming for Band 6 too okay firstly, to get Band 6 in Standard English, you need to make sure you thrash Paper 1. Because of the nature of the English advanced course, Advanced students are better at critical analysis and will thus do better in Paper 1. So: 1. Comprehension...
