The only thing carrying Sefton in HSC ranks is its performance in Maths which is up there with many of the fully selective schools. For the rest of the subjects areas, (except maybe History) it's not that great compared to your upper end comprehensive schools.

School emphasizes "Scaling Myths" Um 'low scaling' subjects by definition 'scale lower'...

School emphasizes "Scaling Myths" The whole point of scaling is for comparability between candidates when combining the cohorts of different courses into a common scale for ATAR ranking. The reason 2U maths scales better than General for example is not because it is harder but...

What is the actual question?

Re: The Cadetship/Internship/Graduate Recruitment Process - Workshop Series Aug 8th-9 There is something in the works, though slightly different to what was done in 2015. Keep an eye for it coming soon! :)

No need to get heated with insults

Pls stop

He's been peaking in popularity lately though with his latest material... Also, I'm pretty sure being a full time big shot celebrity/entertainer is far more stressful than investment banking lol

lol this guy

Two things to consider are - the probability our economy will be tested hard; and - IF it happens how big the impact/damage would be At the moment, the general consensus is that the probability is quite low but it is on the way up if things don't improve as they currently are. So from that...

Not sure about salary, but there aren't as many positions in prop trading space as there are in the investment banking space. Also, whilst prop trading has fewer hours than investment banking, those hours are more pressurised with higher stakes. I have heard of some graduates not surviving...

When you do the calculations, as long as the interest rate you get by putting money in the bank sufficiently exceeds the indexing interest rate then you're better off deferring to HECS than getting the 10% discount when considering opportunity costs (might be a slightly different story if the...

Re: HSC 2016 3U Marathon That is fine as the long as there are only two threads.

Re: HSC 2016 3U Marathon Feel free to make separate threads for questions (and strongly encourage you to search past threads before you ask the question), but we really want to avoid a situation where many people start creating their own thread for all their questions.

Ruse has over 90% of their cohort get band 6 in all levels of Maths they offer (ie 2U, Ext1 and Ext2). Much beast. Also, pretty sure Ruse doesn't really offer much in the way of languages.

You can still do Information Systems electives in your Commerce degree (I'm assuming you'll be going for a Finance major in Commerce) and gain some knowledge of the business management side of things without covering the the entire breadth of the field. At the end of the day, you don't really...

Information Systems is more of a general business management type field and would be handy if you want to get into technology consulting or manage a company's data infrastructure. I find it difficult to see where this field fits specifically in an analyst role in the financial sector. If you...

It's basically to denote the similarities to the way English is structured (i.e. English Advanced).

The intent of the Maths Ext1 course is for students who wish to pursue fields which require a higher level of mathematics. The stuff you cover in Maths Ext1 (outside of 2 unit) or that level of thinking is never revisited in uni unless you do Science or Engineering. Making that a...

The thinking in Maths or Science is very different to the thinking in Law which more closely resembles the Arts field (i.e. reading and interpreting pages and pages of text). If anything, English Ext or History Ext would be far more beneficial for Law. I also highly doubt that those who drop...
