    Maths -Vs- Science

    I find the methods of application in physics interesting and certainly more interesting than many things in high school maths, but it's an overstatement to say that those who likes other parts of high school maths are insane. I think you are just an applied maths lover. Personally, I found...

    Maths -Vs- Science

    I have never come across anything (from relatively reliable sources) that says those two are related...?

    Study tips for uni?

    Nah, that's not true. 85 onwards=HD but it's much easier to get an 85 than to get 99.95 ATAR (and 99.95 comes from numerous subjects, not just one and even if we are talking about 85 average at uni, 99.95 ATAR is still harder to get). Actually, wait, I can guarantee what I've said for science...

    Study tips for uni?

    oh no, I meant you download tute answers so you know they are there for you, but don't bother reading them till the exam period. but I guess it's not as much of a cram if lecture materials are organised already.

    Study tips for uni?

    Well, harder but even maths can be crammable, if it's not a totally new area (in which case you would have needed to keep up with lectures during the semester). As for doing tutes regularly, no need if you can download tutorial answers and you just keep up with learning the theories from...

    MBLG1901/1001 Scaling

    MBLG1901 scales quite well if you did a decent job.

    How do you get 90+ in all subjects??

    The key is to be consistent in organising your study material, ideally your handwritten/typed study notes. This is because you don't want to be reading irrelevant and lengthy texts close to your exams. The advantage of making notes is that you can remove all unnecessary bits of info and leave...

    10 units vs 12 units???

    Keep the 12 units if and only if you: 1) don't hate any one subject much more than others 2) believe you may have a major screw up. Having said that, if you think you WILL really screw up in something, that's either a severe lack of confidence or a lack of effort to try and prevent it or you...

    70 WAM. Easy or difficult?

    since i'm doing science, i'll only talk about it HD is pretty easy in some subjects (maths lol) if you actually try (srsly in sem 1, i rly stuffed up linear algebra and thought i was gonna get like C, but ended up with HD) something like psych, cramming does the job imo bio, reasonable chem...

    Monomer Units

    The wording is not very precise but it said "polymer," which suggests long chain. If there's only two monomer units in a molecule, they would have called it a dimer.

    Monomer Units

    n=/=3. n>_3 but we are meant to show only 3 monomer units in our drawing

    Monomer Units

    i would put it, but i don't think it's really needed because we are only interested in a small part of the molecule unlike (-monomer unit-)n structure

    Monomer Units

    2nd one is correct because of the wording of the question "Draw the structural formula for a part of a polyethylene molecule showing three monomer units joined together."

    Why is everyone going to UNSW?

    Well they have a point, Shadowdude... Just go back to HSC sciences and think about reproducibility (or reliability) of information. Any other sources that suggest the same/similar rating for quality of education, etc? Well it's all good that it's be govt, sounds much better than ones by random...

    the exaggeration is also unreal

    HSC questions easier for girls

    LOL that's just an excuse from the father... true for section 2 but the rest, not really I got a decent result in UMAT with my ESL English

    Prestige or the course?

    I would recommend you to choose the uni you wish to go to. I can't say much about UNSW courses but at Usyd, you can quite easily transfer to adv maths from adv sci, i think, so it doesn't really matter if you get into adv sci or adv maths. Course wise, at usyd, the only diff between the...
