I'm an actuarial student so I should be able to help you with your questions. 1) There is obviously a lot of maths involved, so it can get quite difficult in that sense. It does help if you do Extension 2 and are thorough with it as the course goes through Extension 2 content like complex...

Definitely as goldenmelon said, your school ranking has absolutely no effect on your final ATAR. However, what generally tends to happen is that people at the top selective schools will have a lot of 99+ ATARS. Now, probably the biggest reason for that is their cohort. What that means is that in...

Honestly, by aiming for the best ATAR you think realistic (can be slightly ambitious) and hopefully achieving it, you can definitely get into any course at these 2 universities. The problem is that there's hundreds of courses combined at both these universities, some of which may require an ATAR...

https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2012/06/12/bat-eyes/ Hopefully, the link above can help you with regards to your analysis for 'Bat Eyes'. Some related texts you could consider are: 'Caged Bird' (a poem) 'The Scarlet Letter' (a novel) 'Nose Dive' (episode from TV series) 'Ozmandias' (poem)...

I had a private tutor who was really good for me last year. I can PM you their details if you would be interested.

I mean, there's 2 different perspectives. If you're sure you can get the minimum ATAR needed for guaranteed entry into your course, then sure, the same amount of study won't be needed. But at the same time, it's just a good feeling for yourself to get an ATAR you would have aimed for before your...

Definitely the BoS past exams ... apart from that, I think any past paper would be valued equally (unless there's some specific schools which other people can think of)

Some people tend to have the opinion that having a tutor = guaranteed good results. It's important to remember that a tutor is there to assist you, not for you to rely on all the time. Even without a tutor, your best alternative would be your teachers. Even if you could organize a small 1 on 1...

In particular, doing the top selective school papers (so Ruse, NSB, NSG, BHHS, SBHS, SGHS) and even Grammar as one of the top private schools will benefit a lot.

Basically, as everyone has to graduate during a pandemic, no one will get bonus ATAR points.

Honestly depends on the person themselves and their work ethic throughout the entire year. It's hard to compare 2 degrees which are so different (like Public Health and something like IT), just because both can be difficult in their own respective merits.

Definitely best to ask this question on the MSO (Medical Students Online) forum, as that forum is literally created for concerns like yours mentioned above. Is UQ the only university you're considering to get into graduate medicine? If not, there are a handful of other universities (JMP, JPM...

As harsh as it may sound, there's definitely no point worrying about internals now, as those are done and out of the way. What can make or break your hopes of a Band 6 (maybe even a state rank) is your externals performance as it carries a weighting of 50% of your final HSC mark. That's why...

I heard slightly different that in the sciences, they don't allocate sig.fig marks for all the calculation questions. They will allocate it for a few (which you won't know obviously, unless they explicitly mention it) and then mark it like that.

A method I used was to say out loud the first sentence, write it down, then do it for the second sentence. Then I would combine both sentences. You can then repeat this for the following sentences.

I know it's pretty much common sense at this point, but for me, the 2 main issues with worrying about not writing enough and then trying to write too much is that 1) You want to write less but quality than more but not quality and 2) In an attempt to write more words (which ultimately means you...

Real Madrid I agree can revive their club, based on their generational talent (like Benzema) and their young talent (like Vinicius). However, with Barcelona, on the other hand, their situation seems to be getting worse. Quite embarrassing losses in the Champions League, an awful financial...

Oh ok, I legit didn't know that at all. I thought it would have been on a similar level to Advanced

Pretty much undershadowed by the demolition of United, but nevertheless, a good result. I would 100% say though that ever since Messi and Ronaldo left their Spanish sides (as well as players like Neymar, Suarez), the El Classico has never been the same. I would argue the derbies in the EPL may...
