So we all know things vary quite a bit even within a certain speciality (some surgeons can work 80hrs pw, some can be on for 2 days a week), but on average, which speciality is going to guarantee the closest to a 40 hr working week? Is General Practice/Family Medicine still the best bet in this...

I'd like to start reading some of the discovery texts in my spare time to help out future students and such. Usually there's a whole bunch of texts no one goes near in the AOS.

My QTAC application tells me I've received an offer for the Provisional Medical Science program at the Nathan campus (my atar was 99.50). I found this strange as the cut off last year was 99.60. So being a NSW resident, if im not mistaken, I only need to accept this offer and do 2 years of...

Does it come in the mail?

Asking on behalf of a friend. So a student who gets a b6 in 10 or more units is known as an "All Rounder". What if a student is doing 12 units and got a b6 in all units except English. Does this still count?

Is the average 3 or 4 days a week? I know it varies depending on the degree (I heard med and engo degrees are 5 days a week). I plan on studying combined Actuarial Studies at UNSW. Just need to know cos of part-time work. If anyone could comment their degree and the days spent at uni that...

Hey everyone, Has anyone got any insight or experiences to share re: volunteering abroad? I'm very interested in doing so, and am avoiding the 'voluntourism' companies that do more harm than good as having to pay to volunteer is usually a big red flag. I'm most interested in travelling to...

First and foremost I'd preferably like this q to be answered by and older BOS'er (i.e. pre 2014 graduate). So let's say I'm coming 2nd in English right, and the person who beat me did so by something minuscule; I got 93.4% and they got 93.5% which rounded up to 94%. Sucks to be me right...

So I've been working part-time for the past 3 years - 1st year @ Maccas, then Woolies up until now. Thing is though that ever since I took the HSC exam period off I've been getting close to no shifts - like I'm talking 3.5 hrs a week. It's a joke. I've spoken to my managers about this like a...

A q like "Explain why a magnet slows down when dropped through a copper tube" - 1mk My answer: "Faraday's law of induction states that relative motion between a conductor and a magnetic field induces an emf in the conductor equal in magnitude to the rate of change of flux. The induced emf gives...

Nowhere in the syllabus are we required to know TWO current applications of superconductors. One is obviously Maglev. Success One uses the LHC in the sample answer but nope, nowhere in the syllabus. We do learn about POTENTIAL uses e.g. motors and generators, power transmission lines...

^ I got the answer out for this (it was A) but that was before I considered the implication of Lenz's Law. We don't apply Lenz's law here do we? Since the cathode ray tube isn't a conductor. And for this one: I've narrowed it down to A and C since they're the only ones that would give me...

Most people I speak to got below what they were expecting esp for the Sciences: where most expected a 80 raw in Chem they ended up getting 65. This is really disheartening to me tbh. Was anyone pleasantly surprised or was it mostly just disappointment? I need to know so I can adjust my...

When they say for example, "4 fish are selected at random from a tank", how do I know if they're being selected one by one or all four at once? I'm referring in particular to this q: they solution to the first part is: p(no tagged fish) = 50/60 * 49/59 * ... and so on is there an...

With the dotpoint that asks us to discuss the reliability of the fertilizer gravimetric, how come all the sources I'm reading are talking about things that influence the accuracy and validity - pretty much everything except the reliability. I thought reliability was like "reproducibility"...

Came across a Haber question: "The volume of the reaction vessel was reduced. Explain the changes that occur" Success One's answer: " [formula for Haber process] When the volume is reduced the concentrations of reactants and products immediately increase, which increases the total pressure...

Should I go for: "Saponification is the hydrolysis of an ester under alkaline conditions to produce soap and glyercol" vs "Saponification describes the reaction of a triglyceride with a hydroxide ion to form the salt of a fatty acid (soap) and glycerol"

Looking for questions similar in difficulty to that of the 2000 HSC Q7. Have a strong feeling that this years last q will be projectile

In the circle geo q's that tell us to copy the diagram, what happens if you don't? Like if all your proofs are still valid will you be deducted any marks?

All the sources tell me that Hertz used a DC power source in his experiment to detect radio waves, which was then stepped up to high voltages using an induction coil. This is so the electrons can jump across the air gap from the primary coil to the receiving coil. However, when they go on to...
