    Should I apply for special consideration?

    If they have offered you to do it later in the week, that basically is already special consideration. They are letting you do it later. Applying for special consideration won't give you anything different.

    Thread for Electrives/Subjects with NO TUTORIALS!

    http://sydney.edu.au/courses/uos/DAAE2005 Given all your previous posts about being concerned about your future employability I am not sure how a subject like this will help you.

    Can i get accepted?

    http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2414901 1: If you dont apply, no. 2: If you do apply, your entire academic history is considered. Given a history of poor marks, chances are low. You may have an opportunity to put in an explanatory statement. 3...

    Can you pass a final exam from just reading the lecture slides?

    For some people yes, for some people no. Unfortunately no one on BOS knows anything about you to have any degree of certainty about which group you belong to. If you changed your original question to "Is it possible to learn anything meaningful and retain it for a sufficient length of time to...

    Can I get into usyd psychology ?

    If you don't apply your chances are zero. If you do apply, your chances may be slim but they are still greater than zero.

    USYD entry

    Given you have mention UNSW FEAS I assume you want to do engineering (though you did not actually say that). http://sydney.edu.au/engineering/futurestudent/flexibleentry.shtml It is basically the same as bonus points.

    USYD to crack down on cheating

    Products like turnitin are "similarity detection software". They will detect if you have copied and pasted slabs of text from the Internet (eg Wikipedia) or from other scholarly papers that might have been submitted to turnitin in previous years (eg if your friend submitted an essay at unsw last...

    How difficult is to transfer to 98 ATAR cut off engineering course?

    Does it really matter? Are you going to try any more or less hard in your assignments or exams knowing it was 50:50 or 60:40 or 70:30. If you knew you needed exactly 75% as your final mark, would you try any less hard in the exam?

    How difficult is to transfer to 98 ATAR cut off engineering course?

    There are two different scenarios here. The first is entry into USyd engineering in the first place. For someone who has already been at another uni for at least a year, they use an equivalent ATAR calculated as follows: The greater of (the ATAR equivalent obtained from your GPA at the other...

    How hard is Engineering compared to HSC

    It is a bit like asking "how much harder is high school compared to primary school" One of the biggest issues is the change in style from high school to uni. You are now an adult, and have to live with the consequences of your actions (eg dont turn up to lectures, or dont do your reading in...

    Scots boys got into USYD without HSC

    If you want the real story, rather than the beat up in the press, than look at what the university's academic board passed - see http://sydney.edu.au/ab/about/2015/AB_Mar15_agenda_supp.pdf, page 8 & 9. The Diploma of Tertiary Preparation is a legitimate entry pathway for students into...

    How difficult is to transfer to 98 ATAR cut off engineering course?

    A 1 year full time equivalent of GPA = 6.0 (high distinction average) is roughly equal to an ATAR of 96. You would not be able to get into USyd mid year, since you wont have 1 year of tertiary - and you would be assessed on your 70 ATAR. Also, be realistic. Mech Space has a cut off of 98 for...

    junior, intermediate, senior units in different years

    Some degrees have program level restrictions on what you can do - regardless of pre-reqs. eg in engineering "A student shall enrol in lower year level core units of study as a priority above any higher year level units of study irrespective of meeting any prerequisite requirements of the...

    Notes

    What do you mean by "notes"? If you want lecture notes that complement a unit of study, they might be available for sale at the co-op bookshop or copy centre, or there might be e-versions on the unit's Blackboard site? The other type of "notes" are the ones that you yourself take in class - so...

    Which maths is harder

    When a student asks "which subject is harder", are they actually asking "which subject is it easiest for me to pass with the least amount work". Either way, it is impossible to answer. Your performance is dependent on so many things that only you know about eg its "difficulty" depends on both...
