4u moment also a uni stats moment (everyone got +20% on our midterm for free)

don't say things you'll regret when carrotsss state ranks!

actually that's a point too physics questions require writing so its easy to lose a couple of marks even with the right answer

this is pretty true once you know all the stuff for physics u r chilling but for 4u they can throw anything at you

lol you guys are complaining about physics having too much content? try engineering studies...

I was the only one from my grade to get to the HOY stage out of maybe ten (at most) that applied.

my approach was start with the most recent and work backwards in time. and i prioritised doing trials over HSC papers (cause the trials - as long as they're good trials) are harder

you seem to be saying senior actuaries do lots of maths? from what I've heard so far it seems as if the low level actuaries are the ones doing the most maths (but realistically are using pre-built statistical tools a lot of the time and perhaps modifying them to suit their specific project) and...

yea like mmmmaaaaa said, a bachelor of actuarial studies gives you part I exemptions. With part I you can start working as like a junior actuary. To get part II exemptions requires a few uni subjects, work experience and two exams (exams are set by the Actuaries Institute of Australia). Part...

4U >>>

lol i was so bad at finding time to study for 4u during the school year. the proof of this was my HSC exam mark being 4 points higher than my internal mark for 4u

yea, that was the deciding factor to at least try actuarial rather than engineering (like my bio says). so far i’m enjoying it and will probably stay with actuarial also, going back to @moonsuyoung you could do actuarial + comp sci double degree at UNSW if you want. the coding skills and the...

not sure yet lol still a first year the $160k figure is from a family friend who works at TAL insurance alongside a lot of actuaries

firstly: 55/60 is good Silly mistakes were my greatest enemy. To avoid them I found it best to do plenty of study -> complete test questions faster -> have heaps of time left over to very carefully check for silly mistakes Maybe also practice doing questions in an exam setting? Like a timed...

if youre gonna do actuarial I would recommend MQ because of their business school scholarships basically: get ATAR of 97, get in to actuarial. get ATAR of 98, get in to actuarial and be paid $5000 a year. get ATAR of 99, get in to actuarial and be paid $10000 a year also, lots of people at uni...

the engineering textbooks I used were: - Engineering Studies: the definitive guide volume 2 by Paul Copeland (this one was good has it has practice questions embedded throughout) - Excel HSC engineering studies (this one was good because it teaches to the syllabus - shows the bare minimum you...

do more practice questions probably. you can't learn maths by watching a tutor / teacher do problems, you gotta do the work

guys if you don’t sleep you can study 24hrs a day

if you did 5.3 maths in yr10 (and actually payed attention in class) then you probably shouldn’t drop to standard. you’ll be bored and find it super easy. maths advanced actually teaches useful stuff for uni at a pace far slower than what uni (or a bridging course) will attempt to teach it to you
