Agree it would be interesting to hear 9 years down the track whether they got it or not

Could have transferred and forgotten to have changed it or could just live there (not sure though if it means he's from Cherrybrook or if he does to Cherrybrook High School)

Depends on a lot of things. 1) Writing size; compared to someone else who has larger writing, you may fit what they write in 2 pages in 1 page (a hypothetical example) 2) How precise you can write (if you can use precise and technical language which gets to the point straight away, you won't...

It definitely isn't too late at the moment. With one more week remaining till the start of exams, I would be focusing on English Paper 1 and 2 at the moment, just because they are approaching very soon. But in general, if you need an ATAR of at least 92, then don't aim for a 92 ATAR, work...

It's quite a subjective question, almost like asking which selective high school is the best out of the top 5, for example. There's a lot of external factors like teaching quality, quality of resources used in teaching, etc. Saying that though, I did come across an article which ranks the...

Haha, I think there's a lot more (like 6,500 from a google search), but still appreciate the meaning behind your message

Honestly, I'd say if you can maximise your ATAR, given the range of subjects you are doing, it may benefit you due to the fact that there will be a lot of university courses which will align with your subjects. You've got the sciences, humanities, a maths dominant course, etc. However, you may...

You also have to consider that people are different at the end of the day. So some people may know what they want to do in university when they're 13/14 and work towards it, whereas something people, even after being 17/18 and finishing the HSC, may not know what they want to do, and that's...

The reason why we have these kinds of public forums in place is to build an online community which can provide support and guidance for people who may need it, no matter what their situation may be. Sure it may not be useful for you, but for many people, they're extremely lucky to have both...

Which is why people who have incredible internal ranks will 99% of the time ace their externals exam. Especially if you go to a selective school, you notice just how much easier the externals are compared to internals, especially for subjects like 4U, where schools like to take the piss with...

As harsh as this may seem, what you want to do in university shouldn't be your biggest priority. For the next month and a half (or whenever your exams finish), all your focus should be on the HSC exams and only the HSC exams. Trust me, during the well-earned holidays you get afterwards, you'll...

If only people knew that whatever external mark you get in the exam is what contributes to your examination mark

Well, based on your subjects, looks like you tend to favour the humanities. So some potential courses could be law, a commerce or economics major degree, actuarial (seeing it's in your username lol), PPE, etc ... these were some of the options which came up on the UNSW page

As said above, makes sense that higher ATAR = potential for more courses = higher possibility of finding a course you can commit to for a career ... honestly, I'd make sure to focus on the exams at the moment and then once they're finished, it may become a bit clearer through talking to friends...

Finance isn't one of the double degree options offered at UNSW, so I can't answer your question. What I can say though is that regardless of which double degree you choose, there will be select compulsory first year subjects which everyone has to do throughout the year.

I should have mentioned actually that depending on which double degree you do actuarial with (if you choose to double degree), you will also have that as a subject. For example, if you choose Information Systems as a double degree, you will have that as a subject. But yes, you're right in that...

Seeing that you are in Year 12 (not the recently graduated ones, but 2022 HSC cohort), I would recommend a few things: 1) After school each day, spend half an hour to an hour on each of your subjects just revising what was learned in that day (you can spend this time doing practice questions...

Like with what @ssoans mentioned, you can definitely do it for the rest of the questions. (b) 80 swimmers; arrange bronze, silver and gold (c) EQUATIONS; no. of ways but no adjacent vowels (d) Choose 6 girls from 10; 2 girls can't be together Most of the information is usually background...

No worries! So with economics so far, we've done both micro and macro (there should be more information online about what they go into, because honestly, I've always been a maths/science person, so economics and commerce were really new to me). But it's essentially concepts like GDP, supply and...

Hey, I think I'd be able to help you out here. So at UNSW, there are 6 double degree options for actuarial (if you plan to go there): Commerce (4 years) Comp Sci (4 years) Economics (4 years) Inf Sys (4 years) Science (4 years) Science - Advanced Math (5 years) So first year Actuary is all...
