You shouldn't be basing your performance off of marks, since it's your rank that matters. If you're highly ranked at your school it'll be a bigger indication on your peformance (If you're a high rank but barely trying then thats more of a concern rather then a boon)

most my ranks are only slightly above the middle of the cohort (i ranked rlly high first two terms then i got into a very bad slump) im not concerned ab how well i do compared to others but i rlly need to maintain my early entry offer hence y im so fixed on the 70 atar

Me and my rank 50 something in English crying

youll be expected to have HSC physics level knowledge, so you will probably have to self-research. mainly kinematics, torque, dynamics. they might offer a bridging course but it will be very fast paced

tbf i thought i was very bad at phys but i wasnt (i got 17/40 in my prac first term which kinda ruined my morale so i dropped it, but based on cohort performance i couldve come back easy) i reckon i can go through bridging course. But only problem for biomed is i need chem and bio knowledge which i dont have

Look up your school on HSC ninja and check the amount of band 6's over the past few years in your subject compared to your rank. It'll give you a good indicator of your peformance + your school rank in the HSC

the first year physics is tricky, thermodynamics basics + harmonic motion make it a very high fail rate course (phys1121/1131) so be warned

Since we're on the topic of bridging courses, if i wanted to do commerce unsw said i need to do a bridging course for math advanced (i never did math in senior years and i absolutely was dog at it in juniour years) is this my sign to ditch commerce

Nah I talked to the people on open day and they said it’s a lie u don’t need it unless ur majoring in like accounting or finance

alr but like the other key business functions are bland and boring

the math in commerce aint that bad, its integration, matrices, etc. the majority of mathematical involvement for commerce is interpretation of data, so your bridging course would teach you the basics of advanced math but youd be better off self teaching adv over the holidays, then taking the bridging course if its required

what if im actually like sped at math im not even joking like idek what integration matrices is am i cooked

firdt off integration AND matrices, theyre diff things, and no i meant thats what u learn at uni. anyone can learn math with some dedication its like another language in a way

i think youd be fine if u learnt main adv concepts over the holidays like integration techniques, differentiation, and algebra

I hope I meet A really smart man there so my children aren’t completely fucked

if the second highest mark in externals from ur cohort is well above 90 youd have a good chance as long as you didnt get <85 ext

it’s so surreal that at the start of year 12 i thought the day before my hsc exams i would know the content back to front and everything would be memorised but now i cram the night before
