    Uadel vs UNE

    Yes, another decision between medical schools. (I just received an offer into Uadel today...) This time it's Uadel or UNE (JMP). Both places are bonded and I'm already 1 week into UNE (and settled). On one hand, Uadel is a top 100 university and it's smack in the middle of the city and on...

    5 years bonded vs 7 years unbonded

    This has probably been discussed to death already, but can someone provide some insight? i.e. JMP bonded vs UQ unbonded. For UQ, I'd be doing 3 years of study in a course that probably won't be relevant to my med career (and you also have to consider that I have to maintain GPA 5) PLUS it's 2...

    Uadel med/dent offers

    I didn't get either one even with 99.90 and 95%ile umat. So clearly it's either very competitive or they don't release offers to interstate applicants for main round (hoping this is the case :/) Anyone received offer/no offer? Also, their mistake frustrated me quite a bit haha

    JMP photo identification - Passport issued within last TWO YEARS?!

    Okay I'm going into stress mode right now. For those who have been to JMP did they specifically look at your issue date? Here is what it said on the sheet "acceptable... are a current passport (issued within the last 2 years),..." My passport is issued in 2010. The person in it looks exactly...

    How bad are unsw interviews?

    I'm fairly confident I'll get an interview but at the same time I'm fairly confident I won't do well. Why? Because apparently they focus on your life experiences. I'll be frank, I have next to no extra curriculars (I dont do music, sport and all that) except once I volunteered at a tutor company...

    Importance of doing past papers

    Everyone seems to be pushing that past papers are the key to high marks. But after doing the past 10 years of mx2 papers I feel like my maths ability has only improved marginally. Which brings me to my question: just how important are past papers? I can understand doing a lot of papers to get...

    Copying diagram into writing booklet

    Do we have to? Some questions you can do without labeling angles constructing new points etc. Using their diagram would suffice and drawing another one would be a waste of time.

    Past Hsc questions book?

    I've heard of success one by excel, are there any other editions? Also, apparently their answers are bad. Just *how* bad are they? Lastly, are there other sources for hsc sample answers, besides bos which only provides from 2009. (e.g. does someone have a pdf of all the answers or something?)...

    Impact of outliers

    This is a question relating to the moderated assessment marks. Let's say first in the subject gets 95%... and the rest get below 85 (and these marks were submitted to the board of studies by the school). Then in the real HSC, #1 gets 93 exam mark and #2 gets 92 exam mark. How negatively would...

    Writing according to the number of lines

    A LOT of people have been telling me to do this. But as far as I know, it's just not possible to write (for example) a 2 mark answer in just 2 lines. Take question 28a (2012 HSC physics paper). Their sample answer is over 4 lines for what is supposedly a 2 mark exemplary answer. And this is...

    Using unseen for related

    Are we allowed to? Obviously, it's not the best idea. But it's a great backup if they asked for 2 relateds and you only have 1... (somewhat the dilemma I'm in right now as I don't have time to do another related lol)
