    Rural entry for medicine

    Rural (RA-2+) students are usually in a completely different application stream. For UNSW and Monash, the rural student's ATAR requirement for an interview is usually around 93 or 94, possibly a little higher. UMAT, as mentioned, should be around 70th percentile to remain competitive in the...

    Mary Queen of Scots

    Are you sure that this is modern history? It sounds to me as early modern history, which isn't what Prelim/HSC Modern covers. Nevertheless, a better phrasing of your question may be: Examine the reasons why Mary Queen of Scots was executed. I think, though, you should look at her more...

    To what extent do internal marks get considered in the HSC?

    Hi everyone, I know that the standard response to this question is that internal marks count towards 50% of your HSC. If your internal marks are 80/100 for one 50% assessment and 90/100 for another 50% assessment, your internal mark for your HSC is 85/100. However, I find this hard to believe...
