I was just wondering out of curiosity that, in the history of UNSW mid-year offers, has there been a time where no HECs place offered for Commerce? My teacher told me that there would usually be fee paying places offered and that although HECs places have been offered in 2006 mid-year, there's a...

Ok...I'm asking this because I'm thinking of going to SIBT in case I don't get into Bcomm in Macquarie. I heard that even though SIBT puts you into second year Macquarie once you've done the course, no matter what your results are ie. Credit/Distinction, Macquarie will put it down as a pass...

Doing the HSC this year... I really want to study Commerce in UNSW but doubt that I will get above 93 (SAD!) so i'm thinking maybe i could study commerce at Macquarie for the first year and then apply to transfer? So what kind of marks would i be looking at (ie. UAI and GPA) to successfully...

I'm a 06'er and I didn't apply for cadetship for next year because I was unsure if I really wanted to work full time ...but in case I change my mind, would it be possible to become a cadet in the 2nd year uni with the big4? or does EY, KPMG and other big companies only recruit people who are...

Ok...ANU is ranked as Australia's best uni, higher than the University of Melbourne, USYD and UNSW etc. But why does it have a lower UAI cut-off than all those universities? Shouldn't the theory be that the higher the UAI cut-off the better the university, as it would have candidates of...

thanks guys :)

just trying to make sure...just how much of the preliminary course will be included in the HSC economics exam, or does the HSC exam only include topics that you do in year 12? Does is even matter that I've stuffed up the year 11 eco?

Hi, I'm doing SOR1 and was wondering if it is scaled up or down, and how much??

Thanks guys for your advice. After much consideration, turmoil and confusion the picture is becoming clear. I'm going to keep food tech! Riviet your post pretty much sums up everything. Doing the subject I detest will not lead me any where since it would mean I have to kill myself everytime...

Just some more information, right now I don't know whether to drop Chemistry or Food Tech since I have 13 units. Chemistry...I hate it because it is boring to me and I find food tech more enjoyable and I get better marks at it. But the thing is, chemistry is obviously scaled up and food tech is...

Say if a subject is scaled badly but you've got a good rank, do you still get a high mark? I'm confused. By the way what is the difference between the aligned mark and the HSC contribution in SAM? Is the aligned mark referring to your external exam or external PLUS internal?

Hi, I'm thinking about keeping Food Tech as my HSC subject but this question just came up. I went on to SAM to see exactly just how badly it is scaled and am kind of surprised. Basically if you get 90 in your exam you get scaled down to 79.2, 95 to 88.2 and 100 to 92.2. Does that mean that even...

I was just wondering how important it is to know all your preliminary chemistry since I didn't get a very good mark in yr 11 chemistry... Doesn't the HSC just test you on yr 12 topics?

Does anybody know where I could get the summary of prelim chemistry dot points? Either online or just notes ?
