For HSC economics, the larger the import quota the greater the quantity of imports that is allowed. The smaller the import quota the lower the number of imports, a quota set to 0 is an embargo (or ban). Don't think of the quota as a restriction but as a quantity, think "the larger the quota the...

if you enjoy all your subjects then keep as many units as you had in year 11. If you're indifferent then 10 units will lighten the workload, i don't really believe in the "safety net" idea. If you're on this forum you obviously care about school and i highly doubt you'll "stuff up" an exam...

If you're up for it, doing integration and motion during the holidays will save you a lot of time in the year because you'll have the fundamental 2U calculus skills down pat so mathematics will become easy and you'll be ready to ace extension 1 too

Something tells me i should be getting royalties from this thread...

yo, so this is a thread to get to know the guitarists of BOS because i miss music class and have been jamming solo these days :( No better way to do it than to talk about gear because every guitarist loves their gear almost as much as their mother. I'll kick things off. Running a fender...

i remember struggling with the exact same thing in school, the above explanations are really good but just incase i'll add what helped me understand it. The tricky part imo is understanding the fact that both systems can be "moving" relative to each other. Picture a man on the sidewalk and a...

if you know you want to go into research then don't bother with commerce, it'll limit the amount of science electives you can take and lengthen the time taken to complete your degree. For a research career i recommend you just take science, complete an honours year thesis and go straight to a...

you can just start taking the advanced units from second semester if you do well enough first semester (or even first semester if you did well enough in the relevant HSC subjects, e.g band 6 in physics for advanced physics at sydney). If you take enough advanced units you will be placed in the...

what are you guys on about, mac osx is linux based and it can run windows too. If anything apple computers are the best for programming simply because they're so diverse. Regardless, i think some unis issue out a virtual OS (linux based) if you're planning on taking comp sci units so it doesn't...

never had a detention, teachers were always really cool and i'm pretty loveable so it works nicely #confidence

Normally id recommend going with the uni that gets you excited to learn (in your case usyd). However given the little difference in engineering at both schools and the fact you have a scholarship at unsw then I'm gonna have to recommend unsw. Although if that's a one off payment and not 4k a...

I was referred by a friend who knew i was looking into science, kind of lucky :L thanks for the advice guys, i'm gonna go for it and hope for the best! Anything is better than retail...

Hey BoS, so i have the opportunity to work a casual job (likened to an internship) doing some basic/menial lab work in environmental science. However the main problems are : 1. I already have a job in retail that's significantly more convenient (1 minute drive vs 20 minute drive to new job)...

you've still got a shopping list of interests, luckily you also have a whole year to figure out what it is you really want. Focus on getting the best marks you can and when UMAT rolls around only sit the exam if you genuinely want to do medicine, as corny as it sounds it'll just feel right when...

Economics was one of my favourite subjects at school, the whole syllabus melds well together to a point where one idea leads you off onto a myriad of others and you Always have something to talk about. The exam itself is also one of the best of the HSC, well written to a point where it...

There are prerequisites for advanced units. For example physics 1 vs physics 1A at usyd requires a 96+ atar and/or a band 6 in physics. You'd have to check the subject prerequisites you're imtersted in to make sure you can enroll in them under a regular science degree

Yeah +1 to above post. That's what my teacher would tell me. Besides, the paper generally steers you into a certain method anyways so there isn't a considerable disadvantage not knowing implicit for ext1
