If you enjoy the subject, do it. If not, there's no reason to keep it.

It was the analyzing the books that got me. It was like we were learning about things from a story someone wrote. It's like learning physics from watching star wars. Just didn't make sense to me. I do see why they have it compulsory, it would be better if it was more grammar and speaking and...

Lol, it doesn't bother me people wanting to do english and whatnot, I just don't like it myself and don't like the fact I am forced to do it. Though I think it had something to do with my teacher..

I'm guaranteed to get accepted into my course so I'm not that jelly :P Congrats anyways.

Haha yeah that sounds fun.. something to look forward too for next year! I still would have much preferred it if they hadn't of made me do it... I can speak english fine! :D

There is no reason to think that a god exists. If you hadn't been brought up in a religion, then you probably won't believe in one. There is no evidence for a God or supernatural being, so why should you believe in one? Most people don't believe in unicorns, fairies, and the giant spaghetti...

Double post, sorry.

I did a bit of study for maths (4u) because I enjoyed it a lot. Other then that I did barely anything.

That. There is too much "impact on society" and shit. It should be more about understanding of the subject, not how it impacts society, not what I did it for. They need to a run a course similar to that of mechanics in 4u so people can do a more maths based physics course, because that really...

This. Science is awesome, I wish I could do just maths and science but no, stupid board of studies forces me to do english...

I would be doing the physics adv sc or pure math, and by looking at the handbook they seem quite similar to me.

Adv Science or Advanced mathematics at UNSW, not sure which one I want to do yet though.

Yes, when you are considered for a course, the number they use to rank you is your atar + any bonus points.

Here is an email I got from UNSW. "Dear Brad, Your ATAR + HSC Plus means you will be assessed for B Adv. Science with a score of 97.35 – this alone would make you very competitive for entry given that in 2011 the cut-off was 95.00. Adding AAA into this means that essentially you will be...

SDD, but that was a given for me.

I got this reply from UNSW "If you are eligible for HSC Plus then these points will be automatically added to your ATAR. It is this adjusted ATAR that will then be considered with regards to the AAA. In this regard, the two schemes ‘stack’ together." So it looks like they stack together...

I hope that is true, that way I am definitely in :D

Yep. Went from 87->85 in physics 86->83 in chem and 77->74 in english. I came 2nd in physics and chem to so it is a bit annoying :/
