    MATH1003 - Integral Calculus and Modelling Ease: 6.5/10 This course was aimed at students with an Extension 1 background, however, I would encourage those with just the 2 Unit knowledge to do this course as well, as it is quite manageable if you are motivated enough. While not a hard course...

    Bridging Course in Winter?

    They're in summer only. The closest thing you get would be a few first year maths units offered at Winter School, and even that's not a certainty.

    Arts/ Science or Liberal Arts and Science?

    From what I can see (aka rules set out in the Science Handbook), majoring in mathematics may be difficult for you to do. To move onto intermediate mathematics (with the exception of MATH2069), one unit you definitely have to complete is MATH1003, which is the normal stream of Integral Calculus...

    Arts/ Science or Liberal Arts and Science?

    Do Arts/Science. You have more flexibility, you learn more content, and the degrees themselves are much more universal. Liberal Arts and Science is kind of a watered down version of Arts/Science and I believe it is mainly aimed towards people with lower ATAR's who want to study at Sydney. Your...

    Ah yes, probability is a pretty major component of the course. I guess just look at the solutions to past exam questions if you are having trouble with applying the concepts. From what I've seen the questions are similar enough and it doesn't look like they've thrown too many curve balls in the...

    I'm relatively confident with MATH1005. What are you having problems with specifically?

    I will be next year (well the course that has replaced it, FRNC1601). Sorry that's probably not much help to you.

    First Atar Estimate! ~600 Rank School

    Well assuming the person who came first internally came second externally then: You: External 90, Internal 75 Other Guy: External 75, Internal 90 In the end you would end up with the same overall mark.

    Transfer help

    My girlfriend actually transferred into Macquarie Law with a credit average. But yeah, aim for a distinction average just to be safe.

    How to get to ACU North Sydney from the Hills Area (Dural, Hornsby, etc...)

    I actually wouldn't recommend a train. For most places in the Hills District your closest/easiest to get to station is probably Pennant Hills. I guess it will depend on what time you are driving to the station or driving home, but trust me, you do not want to be caught on Pennant Hills Road in...

    How to get to ACU North Sydney from the Hills Area (Dural, Hornsby, etc...)

    You'd probably be better off catching a bus. Drive to Castle Towers and park there, and catch a 612.

    Science degree

    Only 12 credit points of maths. The rest is optional.

    Science degree

    Not necessary, no. But it would complement your studies well and if you ever wanted to get into a career in finance you would be well placed having that science background as well. Just as a side note if you did choose to major in finance than you would have to be looking at either...

    I'm doing a summer school unit on FEE-HELP as well. Just give it some time, I'd imagine they have many other people to process too. Yeah I tried that; most of the units I chose weren't accepted due to prerequisite issues, as they were dependent on my results in other units this semester...

    I'm doing a transfer from a single degree to a double degree at the end of the year. I'm guessing I have to enrol in person sometime in January/February instead of re-enrolling online?

    Internal transfer

    If you're transferring from a single to a combined degree you would have to apply through UAC. Look here for more details: http://sydney.edu.au/handbooks/engineering/rules/faculty_resolutions.shtml The only way that the admission would be ATAR dependent is if you have completed less than 48...

    I wouldn't know. They haven't specified so I would assume not. Contact John if you are concerned.

    I've missed one PHYS1500 tutorial as well. Really, it's worth so little of your mark I doubt it would make much significance. But the mark isn't just about showing up, it is participation as well. So contribute during class and hopefully you can get as close to that 2% as possible.

    Changing degrees

    I don't think there any strict academic requirements, but I'd aim for at least a credit average to have a good chance.
