Do people exaggerate the difficulty of the HSC? (1 Viewer)

I agree with Jetblack2007 on this, double specialisation in GP and then in obsterics is not very viable, unless you have a really strong passion in both. Not even mentioning the length of training involved, would you be happy to go back to being a trainee at mercy of the brass after spending years in your own medical practice? From what I can see and hear, the most common double specialisation involves General Practitioner (RACGP) or Physician (RACP) undertaking extra training through one of the faculties or chapters of RACP (I think there are four at the moment), and only then the training for both are concurrent in many cases.

I've changed my mind. I would like to be a paediatrician, helping children every day and donating my cash to children's charities.

I think being a GP would be an interesting job, but I'd prefer paediatrics and child health as it offers similar variety but you are dealing with just children instead of adults and some children. It takes 13-14 years to become a paediatrician, so I'm in it for the long haul.

What is the postgraduate fellowship called? For GP it is FRACGP.

General Maths. I have four words. General Maths. Standard English.

With those 4 units. Your HSC should be a total total BREEZE
Plus coz of the awesome Standard English scaling in Band 5-6 you get better ranks from it than Advanced people have said (just a rumour... bwahahaha I'm wicked.)

I've heard that it is actually a lot harder to get a band 6 in Standard English than in Advanced English.

The word "harder" is controversial.
It's only because there are less people who get a band six in standard in english compared to advanced. I guess you could interpret that as a level of difficulty but it's more because of the quality of candidature. Smarter kids choose advanced over standard.
