    Question about English and ATAR

    I do four units of English and am on 11 units. I was encouraged to do both E1 and E2 because advanced sucks and its exam format is the worst, and I was told that only my best 2 units of English would count. However, I literally realised that 1 of my advanced units is going to have to count...

    Hi all! I am currently a first year at UTS' Computer Science Honours degree but I wanted to go to UNSW Computer Science. My ATAR was an 83-84'ish and my WAM is currently an 80. Would that be enough to transfer into UNSW Comp Sci at the end of the year, so far I've maintained a WAM of 80. But do...

    is an internal transfer from UNSW art to law difficult?

    i keep getting mixed opinions. some people say as long as you keep up with your lecture/content it'll be fine, others say the competitive atmosphere of unsw law makes it extremely difficult (eg. instead of a 75-80 wam, you should be aiming for a 90 wam). how difficult would it be to internally...

    It this worth it? All opinions accepted pls

    My subjects are VA, chem, bio, legal, 3U math and English right now. I don’t think I’ll be able to manage all this and get an atar above 90 cuz I’m always stressed about something.

    What to Drop?

    Hey, I am thinking of dropping a subject as I am on 13 units and it is impacting my ability to perform in my individual subjects. I would drop SOR if I could, but my school requires it, so I'm thinking between Chem + Bio. Last term I ranked 1st in Chemistry with a mark of 29/30, but this term I...

    If nesa counts your best 10 units, what if ext is counted? that would only be 9 units counted

    so you know how nesa counts our best 10 units? what if math ext is counted in as well, but the problem is it's only 1 unit. adding best 8 units (2 unit each 'normal' subject) and the one unit from math ext, that would only be 9/10 units counted! what happens to the last unit? do they just not...
