To get a band 6, how did you differentiate yourself from other candidates. For example, did you do extra readings of the subject or present some sophisticated historiography and argument in your essay to get an extra edge? I really want to get a band 6, I was ranked No.1 in my school for modern...

what kinds of jobs are you thinking of doing with advanced science

Hi, I am in year 12 atm and recently went to the sydney uni info day. I have a passion for humanities such as history, languages, cultures and creative writing (i love writing!) etc. and would like to do some sort of arts degree however I feel that a bachelor of arts or international studies...

Yes. I think so. I know someone who got 98.3 and still got into combined law at UNSW which has an ATAR cut-off of 99.7

I think if it is a similar degree and you have done the sufficient units it could be possible. However I advise that rather than asking the forum, you call the university/ or talk to the faculty coordinator as they will most likely know and can advise or direct you.

Hi, a majority of my subjects are humanities, I do 5 units of history, 3 units of english etc. For Creative writing, Romanticism, how did you get to write in the style of the romanticist? How long did it take? Also, for Modern, ancient history: what types of books did you read when you say...

For history: show your depth of information by reading widely, different historians, sources and having detailed knowledge of the content. You need structure also in your essays

Start only in January - Borrow books from the school library and begin reading some of the content for the first topic - If you know what texts you are studying for English, consider working smart and reading some novels in the holidays so when you re-read it, you can get a more in-depth...
