Re: Is it really necessary to purchase various textbooks in order to do well in subje Is Maths in Focus 'bad' compared to the other Maths textbook? That's the only textbook the school gave me. Sorry to hijack the forum, but any opinions? I might need to buy myself another book.

LOL woo O'BAH! Sorry irrelevant but why didn't you go to school on the coast, Gosford high is also selective. Also, i agree with everyone else just three more terms of school just focus on your goal and you'll be in uni doing B.science in no time. :)

maybe the uni panel could do the whole good cop bad cop routine :tongue: lol

Grrrrr... i dislike people who want to become doctors because of the CHICKS, MONEY, POWER, CHICKS! Seriously if i don't get into medicine and another person does for those exact reasons, WATCHOUT! I MAY JUST HAVE TO KING HIT YOU! LOL. The uni interviews better separate all these idiots from the...

Congrats mate on your ATAR and course, was that your first preference?

Well i can drop SOR1 to catholic studies which doesn't count towards your ATAR. But why drop when i will just put the same effort in which is 0-1% and still get roughly 95%-100% haha. Actually i did plan to drop it after prelims, except teacher pretty much begged me to stay and his always...

Man now i don't know what to drop haha. The thing is i'm what some may describe as an all-rounder haha. I'm well and truly interested in all areas of science (except possibly space/astronomy :burn:)and i do well in it. I also enjoy maths and i obtain relatively high marks, I have a great memory...

Thanks guys for the advice! I'm considering maybe dropping one of the extensions or Modern History, hopefully i can come to a decision by the time school starts :D

Hey man thanks for the rep. How did you go in your HSC? And what course did u get?

Yeh i was thinking Modern History, however i come first in each of the assessments with little effort and i am confident i can get a band six. Sacrifice?

Hey guys just need some advice on what subject i should drop, which i feel that i need to do urgently, you know get some of the weight off my back. My subjects are: Extension English Extension Mathematics Biology Chemistry Physics Modern History Studies of Religion 1 I enjoy all my...

Generally, if you love English you would love extension. I find it to be more expressive, which i like, unlike advance where it seems that it is very direct. Also, the topics for extension are quite interesting. Although, imo it is far more easier than advance, be prepared for the workload...

thanks for the rep

AAAAH YEH BIG TIME! That's why i lose time in exams, i think too much about sentence structure and all that :uhoh: Plus i take too long completing assignments and essays.

UMAT Medentry Workshop is in January? aaaah crap where the hell is my career advisor! Is there any workshops later in the year?

Write. I seem to memorise my notes better as i can visualise my own hand writing during exams and simply replicate it on the exam paper. Sounds dumb but it works for me.

What exactly are they looking for in the interview? How do they score you?

Yeh sure no doubt i will volunteer, i think there are doctors who volunteer to do checkups on the homeless every few months at the soup kitchen. I would most probably do that once i complete med; you know stay in touch with the people. :spin:

I completely agree with most of the statements you have made, such as most of the "med students have pay as their most influencing factor... " which i find completely frustrating, because you have more than a thousand applicants every year that want to do medicine for the right reasons, yet lose...

eck you want medicine because of the money? I think that just answered your question, don't do medicine...
