If you were given the UAC guide go through the entire thing, and cross out all that degrees that definitely don't appeal, and keep going until you have a small number of possible options left.

Approximately how many words should a 5 minute speech be for English? Mines currently at 850 but I can't find any way to cut it down further :/

850 is good.
One thing to note is that no matter how much you prepare, on the actual day of the speech, you'll most definitely end up saying the speech faster than usual because of nerves.
So imo, add like an extra 50 words JUST IN CASE, coz you dont wanna like finish 30 secs earlier than the time limit.

Oh no, are you gonna make top 5?

I had my final chem exam, which was a prac (you commented on my post on it), like 2 weeks ago and we got our results and I got beaten for the first time. Lol, i never got beat in a single chem exam, even in year 11, so it feels bad.
But it was genuine mistakes and it was only by 2 marks, so im not too hung up

No way not top 5, I'm worried that I'm not even going to be in top 20 ;-;

Wow I only ranked 1st for Chem in my half yearly for prelims, but it's just been going down from there ahaha

the pressure might speed you up. I timed myself at least 20 times and averaged about 4:30 to just 5 mins.

In class I ended up with a ~4:15-20 time.

Yes. That was the one I lost the mark for talking too fast. :>
