You need to calm yourself down here a bit buddy. You should do as much as you reasonably can (while allotting time for sleep and some social life) but if you burn yourself out completely you may not recover for a very long time. You should also remember to be kind to yourself.

For shapes which can be represented as functions of a single variable, it is sometimes the case that the surface area formula is a scalar multiple of the derivative (for some scalar multiple constant). EG1: Cube - VCube = x^3, VCube' = 3*(x^2), SACube = 2*(VCube') = 2*(3*(x^2)) = 6*(x^2) EG2...

Define good ATAR, I'd say a good ATAR is 75-90 and you really do not need advanced English for that kind of mark (even though adv eng scales well). Now if your definition of good is 90+ then maybe.

I should add that my original comment was for students aiming for quantitative programs (BE, BCom, BSc, BCompSci, BIT, etc). Based on OPs subjects I assumed they were headed for uni STEM. As you say, if you are heading for a qualitative program (BA, LLB, BEd, BBus, BSocSc, etc) then Advanced...

The ATAR cuttoffs for both UNSW Engineering and UQ Engineering will be around 85 (most uni engineering cutoffs are around this level) so as long as you have band6+E4 in Adv+EX1 and band6 in physics, and band 5/6 in everything else (regardless of what the other subject mix is) you will likely get...

As a series note, if you are planning to go into a quantitative degree program (BE, BCom, BSc, BCompSci, BIT, etc) your English course and band will essentially be irrelevant. People who teach in quantitative departments rarely care how good you are at textual analysis (as long as you can read...

The Cambridge Pender EX1 Year 12 book has a good reference formula for this rule as well: One of the main difficulties for this kind of question is often to identify that you are dealing with a reverse chain rule, which you can do by visual inspection.

Different universities offer different programs, they run from anywhere from one day to thirteen weeks. The better bridging programs will typically run for 5+ weeks at least. The short programs can be slightly helpful if you're already moderately competent at the content, but to learn something...

Congrats on your marks so far. Your marks are really quite high, especially given that you have what is considered to be quite a challenging mix of subjects. Even with a typically low-ranking school, in a dodgy area, you seem to me to be headed toward a mark in the order of 80-90 (if you exam...

You should never be thinking in terms of results, you should be thinking in terms of content acquisition and suitability for future studies. If you have the option to take EX2 AFTER finishing Adv+EX1, I would STRONGLY recommend that you do it. It will give you time to consolidate your...

A very common error is choosing the wrong basis vectors in a geo proof question. If you try an impose a specific set of vectors on any given question and suddenly end up introducing unnecessary angles, you're gonna have a bad time.

If it makes you feel any better: in the grand scheme of things, it will make no difference. If you do well in ADV or EX1 or EX2, you will be regarded as being "kid that is good at basic math" from a university lecturer perspective (as these courses are all quite simple from a university math...

Because you are the only person in the class it doesn't matter (as has been said), however your marks on the assignment may be indicative of poor understanding of the content covered on the assignment. Usually the only thing Y11/Y12 marks tell you is if your study time is sufficient or not (good...

Senior people in every quantitative field do much of the most complicated stuff, many senior roles will have research or publications as a requirement (obviously excluding managers - who just do management). Look at the publications of a quantitative focused senior engineer or a senior actuarial...

People can always train and become better at math, but it would make no sense for someone with little ability/interest in math to try to do senior level positions. The other people in the field are simply going to be orders of magnitude better.

People in low level or junior position might not, but people in high level and senior positions absolutely will. If you read papers on Arxiv in engineering or computing or actuarial sciences (or anything technical), you will find an array of papers with mix authors from universities, companies...

Actuarial Sciences is actually mathematically/statistically quite similar to finance and econometrics, however, because Actuarial Sciences is usually formally accredited (because of the necessity to pass the act exams), it tends to have more intense math/stat. It has a lot of multiple...

So UTS has the standard higher math requirement for their degrees, on the engineering page you can find the following: " Assumed knowledge HSC Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English Standard. English Advanced is recommended. For the biomedical, civil, and civil and environmental...

Yeah, it seems to be: have undergrad + graduate degrees in the field, have some teacher training + education professional development, have spent 25+ years working extensively as an educator at all levels. That's what it seems, but maybe he would think differently. Anyway, we should stop this...

You'd have to ask him! Haha
