    Last month of IPTTTTTTTT!!

    Some things never change... even in my time everyone fell into one of those categories for IPT. Dunning kruger.

    Is legal worth keeping?

    I dropped legal at the end of year 11 because it required a disproportionate amount of 'effort' for marks which were below average in my school and unlikely to scale well for my UAI (before it was called ATAR). That being said, if you are planning to study law in university because you enjoy it...

    Is James Ruse/Baulko basically only focused on academics?

    Times have probably changed since I was in Baulko... but can definitely confirm at least back then, it doesn't marry up with what Op posted.

    Extracurriculars for Uni Applications & Scholarships

    This. The whole point of extra curriculars is what you learn from the experiences which can then demonstrate positive traits/abilities or maturity in other areas (which is what the interviewer/assessor is trying to look for). You won't learn anything if you're just doing the bare minimum to...

    PS5 and Xbox Series X are both worth for racing games?

    I ended up playing GT alot on my PS5 and doing the daily challenges/etc. Not sure why but I found it more enjoyable than Forza this time around but I'll wait for the next Forza and maybe my interest in my XSX will be reignited.

    Who wants to be a teacher because of a scholarship and a high ATAR requirement (Over 80)?

    Just because you have a certain ATAR/UAI/etc doesn't mean you need to automatically pick a course which has a high cut off. Teaching is one of those professions where given the monetary reward isn't great, it needs to be something which you are genuinely passionate about. These...

    Is it possible to do actuarial studies with only advanced maths?

    Maybe it's worth asking what about actuarial (as a field of study and also as a career path) is appealing to you?

    Does anyone know how and where to buy Sony PS5 for a reasonable price?

    A few places had them in stock lately. I bought mine from Gamesmen last week but had to buy a bundle for $969 including another controller and GT7. Worked for me since I would've bought those items anyway, and I had enough trade in credit such that I only had to pay $5. Best to call around and...

    Where do most people work after Graduation (Non-Engineering Jobs)

    Nope, consulting is much more broad. It could be any kind of consulting really, eg management consulting. Even in my line of work which started off in banking regulatory work we have engineers since the skillset can be used in a very different way whether it be process engineering or trying to...

    Key Accounting Policies?

    I would've picked something which has more judgement/wiggle room in it... like the financial instruments valuation, lease accounting, or even the good ol' revenue recognition.

    Test and compare your internet speed

    Now that I'm on Vodafone 5G Home (instead of GigaComm's FTTdp) I'm having to make do with these less impressive speeds... Although still better than the NBN100 which is the best I can get in this unit.

    Cadetship and overseas exchange

    Depends on the terms of the cadetship and the structure. Usually you have some time for full time study in a cadetship (ie no work commitments) which would then be ideal for you to go on exchange during this time.

    Key Accounting Policies?

    Depreciation method makes sense. Inventory valuation method also makes sense. But I don't get why you'd pick goodwill?

    Is it worth doing engineering and commerce together?

    Depends what you want to do with your life though... doing a double degree for the sake of doing a double degree (surprisingly this happens more often than you'd expect) just leads to more HECS debt and a longer time before you start actually working. Think about where you might want to work in...

    Test and compare your internet speed

    Not counting the free wifi on campus, I have seen some ridiculously fast internet speeds at universities here and abroad... I can't remember the name of the service but there used to be a single login which got you onto wifi at campuses around the world (or at least there was back in the late...

    Test and compare your internet speed

    Are your uploads being throttled (eg have you been torrenting/seeding alot), or is there something else shaping your uploads like your router's QoS algorithms? Try with a different device as well to see what it gets.

    Test and compare your internet speed

    Moved my modem and changed to a new telephone cable and saw the speeds improve.

    Which tutoring companies pay the best for graduate high school students?

    If extrapolated at 40 hours per week (which I assume isn't the case but this makes it fun for discussion) that's $145k p/a! Not bad.
