    Do you think that's too risky though? Like what if i did an arts degree but then i'm unable to obtain the marks to transfer into commerce? Do you think i would be better off doing commerce at uts and then transferring to usyd?

    ATAR Goal Evaporated?

    Hey notthedevil, Ambition is a great trait to have, but it is also important to ask yourself why you so desperately want to obtain that 99.9 atar (which you have). Is it worth it? 99.9 is extremely difficult to obtain, and since your needed atar is nowhere even near the ballpark of 99.9...

    Do you guys know how the whole 2u prerequisite thing works? My careers advisor said that i can't just do a bridging course and get in since its prereq instead of assumed knowledge...but she wasn't that clear about it.

    Cohort ranking for my subjects?

    Woah that seems really high :/ But does the scaling of your subject effect it? Also the careers advisor told me that the median star is 91...so does that mean 50% of students get 90+?

    Cohort ranking for my subjects?

    I cant figure out wether AVO's are effective or not?

    Thank you so much for such a detailed response, i really appreciate it. If you have the time, it would be great if you could have a scan over my evidence: Apprehended Domestic Violence Order’s (ADVO) have been extremely effective in preventing further violence occurring in domestic settings. A...

    Even if there's no plot, something HAS to happen. Something significant to your character, or to society etc. Ask yourself how you wan't the reader to feel after reading your creative. Also for mod A essays i had 1.1k words which i just managed to finish. I think you should cut down a few...

    I cant figure out wether AVO's are effective or not?

    Hey Guys! So in my DV essay i've written that ADVO's are extremely effective and i have LCMID which supports my view, however i'm aware that there have been a significant amount of cases going against what i've said. So should i change my argument to moderately or not effective? Also, do...

    Thanks for your reply! Do you think it's risky to argue that something is "extremely effective?" For AVO's there have been significant issues, but i've only mentioned the good bits.

    Hi Guys! If i'm arguing that ADVO's are "extremely effective" and i use lcmid to back this up, do i need to also mention negatives for a more balanced argument? I haven't done this and i've already reached the word limit :( Also, what is your opinion on parental order under the Family Law act...

    Should i just not do my assignment?

    I'm just concerned that if i pull all nighter my memorisation for legal studies will be really bad. We were given the essay q and we literally just regurgitate. So i don't want my 5% assignment to effect my performance in my 20% exam...idk

    Is an eng ex essay similar to mod a?

    Hi everyone, I'm really confused about how to write an eng ex essay. Since context is important, is it similar to a mod a essay? Is the structure of body paragraphs also similar?I've also heard that apparently context is more important than techniques, is that true? Thanks!!
