    Exchange University Ranking Importance

    I was thinking of going on exchange, and I was just wondering how important the ranking of a university is for employers. Will they care if I didn't go to a top 100 or top 50 university, or will they not care at all? Personally, I don't think they will care since it's more about the experience...

    Engineering/Commerce Mark Calculation

    So I do an Engg/Comm degree, and I was just wondering how they will determine my mark. The double degree course rules state: Candidates will be awarded a separate testamur for each degree completed. Does this mean that I'll be awarded 2 certificates, one for engineering and one for commerce...

    Difference between a Credit and a Distinction

    Whaddup guys/girls. Obviously, a DI is preferred over a CR, but I was just wondering how much employers actually look into the difference between the two. Like, do employers only look at whether you get a CR or higher, or do they look at whether you got a CR, DI or HD? Cos I ceebs working extra...

    Usefulness of Laptop

    Hey guys, I was just wondering if it would be useful to take a laptop to university, and if so then which subjects would you recommend I take it to? I'm doing a double degree with commerce, so maybe it'd be useful for those subjects also, where I assume there's more note-taking? Thanks :)

    Strength of Gravity approaching centre of Earth

    In the Half-yearly Physics exam we had, the 2nd question in the multiple choice was something along the lines of: "What happens to the strength of gravity as you approach the centre of the Earth?" The question involved scientists digging a long tunnel to the centre of the Earth and stuff, but...

    Time Management

    Exactly how important is time management in the HSC MX2 exam? And for school assessment tasks, is time management just as important or can you generally slow down a bit to make sure you don't make silly mistakes, etc? I was wondering because we have quizzes every 2 weeks at school which I can...

    Induction Question-types

    I just wanted to know what different "types" of Mathematical Induction questions there are. E.g. There are ones that include logs, factorials, etc. I just want to get to know the different types so I make sure I don't get surprised by any questions which I haven't encountered before in an...

    HSC Papers Books

    Does anyone know around what time that books like SuccessOne and the one by Coroneos, etc. which are filled with the most recent HSC papers are printed and sold ( and which include the 2012 HSC paper)? Will it be sold by the end of this year, or will I have to wait a bit longer than that?

    Polar/Non-polar Hydrocarbons

    Apparently only methane is polar, and every other -ane, -ene and -yne are non-polar. Can someone explain why? The only way I can prove that all of it is non-polar is because I know like dissolves like, and water can't dissolve hydrocarbons. But I'd just like it to be explained in another way.

    Parametrics

    Our school was meant to do parametrics last year, but we didnt get enough time so we're doing it now. I've done most of the questions in the textbook we have, and I was just wondering what the questions on the parabola will generally be? Will it ask you to find the equation of the tangent at...

    Engineering Studies HSC hardness

    I'm just curious as to how hard the HSC Engineering exam is. Does anyone know what a good raw mark is? "Good" meaning it'll help you achieve an ATAR of 95. If that's too broad, what does a raw mark of 80/100 give a HSC mark of? Thanks in advance!

    Integral Question

    Can someone explain how this questions works? I got 343/36 by increasing the entire equation by one power, then dividing by the new power (3) and the product of the derivative inside the brackets (3x2) which gave me . Then I subbed "2" into that equation, and then "0" into the equation and...

    Chemistry - "Water" Module Polar and Non-Polar

    I'm still having problems in questions that ask me to determine whether a certain compound is polar or non-polar. Whenever I try to think about this, my head becomes a forest that I can't traverse... Can someone summarise certain "rules" perhaps that need to be checked to determine whether a...

    "Moving About" - Physics

    Does anyone have any links to tests for the "Moving About" module for Physics? I've already had a look at the Bored Of Studies Resources area but only found one (which had some errors in it even). Amundies.

    Ranking

    Hey guys, I'm not sure if you could answer this, but I decided I might ask it anyway just to see if anyone could answer it. I go to a school that's around rank 210 and I'm in year 11 right now. If I did Maths Ext 1 and Ext 2, Physics, Chem and English Advanced in year 12, what ranks should I be...
