    COMP2511, 3821 & 6841 (OOP, Ext. Algos, Ext. Security). Should I underload?

    MATH1231 - "Attendance is compulsory", but will I be penalised for missing only one?

    All in the title, really. I want to ditch one class to help out a friend. I regularly attend the tutorials and got solid marks in the first two tests, so it's not as if I'm slacking of that subject. No friends in that class so I can't get marked off without being there.

    Lab+Tut for Subject Before Lecture: Bad Decision?

    For my timetable next semester, I have been able to come up with a few possibilities. At the moment, it seems that I will have to make the following decision: 1) have a 9:00AM lab (yuck), and another lab later that day. or 2) have my lab just before my first lecture of the week for that...

    How difficult are exams for maths classes?

    I'm currently in MATH1131 and MATH1081, but feel free to talk about other courses too. How difficult is it to get, for example, a credit mark in their exams?

    You can still enrol in discrete maths

    Copypasta'd my comment from another thread ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶I̶'̶m̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶a̶t̶t̶e̶n̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶w̶h̶o̶r̶e̶ because this is important. HEY GUYS It's not full; it's reserved. CompSci can still get in. If you want proof, I posted a timetable in that timetable thread without...

    Excessive ATAR: Useless?

    Quick Facts: 1) Unless I mess up hard in trials or HSC exam, I am headed for an ATAR above 95. Probably in the range of 95-97 2) None of the courses I am interested in require above 92 (Guaranteed Entry) So, what can I do with these unnecessary expected ATAR points? Will they advantage me...

    Quick question: High internal rank and cohort, low external HSC mark

    Hypothetically speaking, if I get a pretty good rank (eg. above 10/50) in a good cohort but get a pitiful external mark that doesn't reflect my internal, how bad is it? Will it ruin the whole year of work?

    Yet another question about mark moderation! re: top of bad cohort

    Alright, I just want confirmation on this specific scenario. For one subject, I am in a small class (~10 students) and am well above everyone else in both theory knowledge and tasks. The top three students try, but the rest play Solitaire and Wikipedia-surf the whole time, with one kid in...

    Hey BoS, I am looking to start practising exams regularly and to do so I will need to find a ton of practice questions. Where are the best places to find them? (Bonus points if they are related to Journey or Discovery, but other topics will suffice) I will sort through past HSC papers but...
