Not necessarily harder or easier, depends what you want and how much effort you put it - I haven't worked as hard yet as I did in the hsc, but that's probs a motivation issue
some people are chill with P's, but there are high-performance students who strive for D's and HD's - there is an overall competitive vibe in the finance and law degrees, but sci felt a lot more communal
More chill ig? I have talked to EVERYONE and have gained omnipresence on this forum, apparently, it's anti-climatic and the HSC is the climax.
I had this dynamic with a close friend of mine at the time where we really pushed each other in a fun yet competitive way, that definitely helped! I made a google doc with a timetable routine that I *actually* followed which also helped manage all the past papers and have breaks in between - Oh and I also wrote "97+" on these sticky notes and put them in different places in the house that I always went to (i.e. bedroom, study area) to remind myself of my goal constantly
As someone that's studying both Commerce and Science at USYD, I 1000% agree with that statement.Not necessarily harder or easier, depends what you want and how much effort you put it - I haven't worked as hard yet as I did in the hsc, but that's probs a motivation issue
While everyone I've talked to are all highly motivated, I find that there is indeed this big competitive vibe within the Commerce cohort with everyone gunning for subcommittees roles, internships and whatnot. Not that I can blame them though, Commerce is an over-saturated field after all. Since you just transferred this year, I assume you took the 1000-level units this semester? If so, how did you go?
Hey!As someone that's studying both Commerce and Science at USYD, I 1000% agree with that statement.
Also, I think it's cool you're studying Finance at USYD Commerce too, what's up!
I took BUSS1000, BUSS1030, but then I was able to do FINC2011 (did ECON1001 in the holidays which counted for BUSS1040, and my MATH19XX courses counted for BUSS1020 ) and LAWS1006 - I'm p happy with how it went, definitely a tough sem though! How about you?
Oh wow nice, so you're essentially done with nearly all the core units then! How was FINC2011? I've done BUSS1000 (Hey!
) and BUSS1020, core MATH units as well as INFO1110 (as an elective). I really regret taking BUSS1020 instead of MATH1905/MATH1005. Thought that as a Commerce/Advanced Studies student, I had to take BUSS1020. :/ I will have to catch upon whatever mathematical rigour topics I missed out before second year starts.
Content in HSC is muchhhhh easier, because you can actually understand all of it LOL... in uni it feels like just semi-understanding it and memorising past years questions then praying... also people are less competitive overall imo since there's no ranking system.
I concur
I've been pretty good just sorta coasting thru online uni at the moment lol. Although I kinda wish I was in Sydney rn with all this corona shit goin on in Melbourne
.
Hot Damn, I can't believe y'all have come such a long way, as for SupR, he was never in a position to ask for help.Happy new years everyone!
So I'm going to start year 11 in a month and don't get me wrong, I'm excited to finally do all the subjects I'm interested in! But I'm scared that I will have stress problems during the next 2 years...
I did an acceleration course and I suffered through stress and pressure. When the stress got to me too much, I crashed down and lost motivation to prepare for assessments properly :S Let's say that my physical health wasn't quite good either.
I don't want this to happen again, or I want to at least minimise it. So any advice on how to manage workload, stress and to just look after yourself in general? Any tips would be appreciated, thank you! ^^
who r u cuntMood, I don’t think I can get a 90
