    Lockdown

    Not sure to be honest, but basically government is focusing on the hospitalisations rather than case numbers. Unless the hospitals get overwhelmed with patients probably not going to be any strict lockdowns like before

    Lockdown

    Because the benefit now of doing another lockdown probably outweighs the negatives due to it, such as further damage to the economy, worse education due to online learning, job losses etc. The government stance is around the long term response to COVID and cases. The main thing in terms of most...

    Need some uni degree advice

    Yes but it's based on some conditions as there is application process and mark requirements. In my case I had to apply for PhD like you are applying for a job. Had to submit a resume, research proposal, outline past research experience, supervisor recommendation, referees etc. I'm not sure...

    Need some uni degree advice

    The advanced science one often has a higher ATAR entry. In terms of the difference in the degree, you have to do the higher level subjects when there are options. For example, in first year chemistry, it was a requirement of my degree that I had to higher chemistry 1A and higher chemistry 1B...

    Need some uni degree advice

    Studying Ahead for Uni

    Yeah can confirm 90+ is usually first in a lot of subjects 2nd Year onwards. Sometimes it's lower like in my 3rd year Analytical chemistry course I got an 88 which was the highest mark. A thing to understand for future uni students, uni marks are often raw marks and there isn't the same type of...

    Need some uni degree advice

    Aside from that don't base your decision for a degree off a scholarship. Although, it is great if that is the degree you want to do, that 6k a year is very little compared to the money you can make after the degree is over. In Australia you don't need to pay the fees upfront as it goes to HECs...

    Need some uni degree advice

    The science degree is not entirely useless. It depends what type of one it is though. If you are just doing a bachelor of science then yeah it will be difficult to get a job in a research facility or industry because you have no actual lab skills in the degree. By lab skills I'm not referring to...

    Studying Ahead for Uni

    In what respect specifically? In terms of difficulty it's harder because you have to be self directed and there isn't as much help Regarding workload this is dependent on the person. Factors such as the degree, your academic goals, are you working a job and travel time affect this. In general...

    Studying Ahead for Uni

    No need to prepare beforehand. Relax and enjoy the break. Once uni starts you won't have this kind of break again because you will be trying to balance studying with finding a job / internship at some point Don't buy the textbooks before uni classes. Often these are written in the course...

    a little confused

    They can test aromatic compounds to some extent. Look at the data sheet for the C13 NMR it has the aromatic ring in the 120 ppm area. All you need to know for this is the simple benzene one, they won't ask further than that though Also that benzene one can still be named using that cyclohexene...

    USYD Vs MQU - B of Science

    USYD Vs MQU - B of Science

    You will have to look closely at your degrees if that is offered. Maybe try call up the uni if there is a help line about degrees and that matter. If it's not offered you probably need to do a masters before the PhD.

    USYD Vs MQU - B of Science

    If you're long term goal is to go into PhD you should aim to do an Honours year in your degree. It's the closest thjng to doing a PhD that you can experience while as an undergrad

    tips for spending the summer holidays wisely?

    All subjects but some can benefit more from having extra time to understand and perfect concepts such as maths or the sciences where it is problem based

    tips for spending the summer holidays wisely?

    I didn't say this before but the amount of work in that summer holidays you do should be based on your goals. If you are aiming for a 99+ ATAR, then ideally you should do more than that the next topic. From personal experience working hard during that time (while still having some breaks to play...
