Haha tutorial on monday 4-5 and lab on thursday 9-11, what about you?

Pretty much the major difference between adv science and med science, is that in med science you have to major in something bio/med related. All the major available in med science are available to adv science students, plus they also have the option of doing other majors i.e. chemistry...

I don't live on campus, but really close by. 1. The cost is really expense to live on campus. Some people manage it by getting part time/casual jobs (tutoring is a good way to go) and trying to get benefits from centrelink (which is kinda difficult). 2. Its a personal preference, if you think...

I'm only familiar with Hamlet and the 50th Gate, but I could offer some advice. Did your teachers give you any feedback after the trials? Personally I think one of the things HSC markers look for the most is structure. If you structure your essay really well it shows you can sustain a logical...

Yeah I do, definitely. I've done the method and some of the intro. I don't get how we form a hypothesis for the emotional and non-emotional variables since there wasn't anything written about it in the two prescribed texts we were given.

Just out of curiosity, what was your story about? I can kind of empathise since I struggled with creative pieces the most, but the only advice I can give is to place your story somewhere that you can write descriptively and then (as lame as it sounds) imagine yourself as the character. Like for...

This is really late, so I don't know if it will actually be any help. But yeah essentially write one essay that covers all three of the questions. It seems really daunting to begin with, but what you're teachers are doing is pretty accurate to how the HSC is run, since you have no idea what...

It sounds like you have problems with the writing itself as opposed to the story. Have you tried the 'show don't tell' method? Pretty much instead of just stating things how they happen, throw in as many techniques and descriptive terms as you can so that the reader can really emerge themselves...

Pretty much this. I went into my exam with one essay per question that my teacher was really happy with and memorised it verbatim. If you go through past questions you can sometimes find a trend, so unless they switch it up majorly, you won't have to do much thinking in the exam. However, last...

Don't know if it's really any help, but people who did essentials of chemistry A in first semester and received a credit or higher were allowed to enrol straight into higher chemistry B the next semester. Actually, looking at the handbook, I think shadowdude is right. If you took fundamental...

I don't know what kind of mark you need in advanced english for 99.95 but I got 93 or 94 in english and I think I did like 3 past essay questions for each module, not even bothering with the short response. I'm sure someone's already mentioned it, but if you need to focus on english, I'd suggest...

University is better for me. I do miss having teachers and classmates that I knew really well and being able to have fun in class. But at uni, I get to study things that interest me a lot more (even if they are sometimes kinda boring) compared to english and SOR. I agree a lot with this. In...

Pretty much what everyone has said so far. Anything that can be related to stereotypical teenage behaviour/angst. So drugs, parties, pregnancies, alcohol consumption/drink driving, I think maybe even going as far to say bullying and death (since that is the most obvious form of belonging/not...

Personally I think the campus is pretty and mostly really modern. The stairs can be such a pain but I think you get used to them after a while. So far everyone I've encountered is friendly.

Yep thats right. I'd definitely suggest in that case you brush up on your techniques, since you can't do an english essay without them, try googling a bunch or something. For Hamlet our teacher gave us a booklet of these perspectives, so we had the romantic perspective, existential...

I can empathise since my chemistry knew absolutely nothing about chemistry and taught us only out of these booklets she prepared, but ended up not teaching whole segments. But I noticed that I couldn't do the questions, my grades were terrible so I got a tutor. And the same with studies of...

BABS1201 (Cells, Molecules and Genes) Ease: 9/10 If you did HSC biology you should find most of this easy. Content: 9/10 If you like biology, you'll find this course interesting however the labs can be tedious and boring. Content wise, it is almost identical to HSC biology, the only things that...

Dammit, oh well thanks for the heads up ahaha

Did way better than expected, legit thought I failed chem. BABS1201 Molecules, Cells and Genes.......82 DN CHEM1031 Higher Chemistry A...............72 CR PSYC1001 Psychology 1A....................80 DN SCIF1121 Advanced Science: PPP...............LE Hopefully my WAM will go up after I get...

In no particular order: -Slaughterhouse 5 -The Crucible -Nineteen Eighty-Four -Catch-22 -The Great Gatsby -Company -Fight Club -East of Eden -Of Mice and Men I'll probably end up adding a few more after my holiday reading marathon.
