Not sure it was really unanticipated? Basically every vaccine i've ever had they always ask first if you have allergies or had adverse reactions to previous vaccines. I heard the people affected in the UK all carried epipens, so must have had relatively serious allergies.

Yeah, it sucks. Flippers and speculators have made it worse over the last 10-20 years for the second hand market. Iirc a bit over 10 years ago, you could even get used earlier 4 or 5 digit subs etc. for a decent amount less than a new one.

This is pretty common with luxury goods, Economics Explained explained did a video on it. It's the same with Rolex and Patek Philippe watches. According to the video, the manufacturers like to keep stock scarce so even older models retain their resale value and it's not possible to enter the...

The point of that email shown in this thread would be that if an exam is genuinely dificult and found challenging by most of the cohort, the scaling process will accomodate that. Not that any special scaling or aligning is being performed.

If there's any exams you want to predict, discuss etc. and there's no threads, go ahead.

Personally, I think uni and the HSC are a very different kind of dificult. One or the other might suit different people better. There's definitely less spoonfeeding, resources and past papers etc. around for uni and not all subjects work the same way as each other or are as formulaic as the...

UTS. I did basically the entire Business portion of my combined degree as evening clases and i'm pretty sure all popular majors can be done entirely like that. The only part lacking was lecture recording, but there were more recorded classes for business than with Engineering/IT and I assume...

Yeah, there should be like ~16 years of HSC exams around if you want exam conditions. Not a whole lot of schools offer SDD, so I imagine a lot of the trial exams that get done are from some of the external providers and generally copyrighted. Yeah, there should be plenty of competitive...

What do you want to brush up on? Most students have (or had with the syllabus I had for SDD) the most trouble with the algorithm questions. If you do some basic competitive programming questions (sites like TopCoder, HackerRank, LeetCode, also past Google Code Jam round 1 questions) in...

This. I believe Computing Science at UTS has mandatory honours for example, as it's intended for people interested in research. At UNSW, as blyatman explained, I believe you would pick to do honours much closer to when you would be up to that stage, and there would be a minimum WAM requirement...

UNSW have always tended to offer a very wide range of engineering majors that might be better described as a specialisation of another major, and I think this is an example of that. I assume it's probably an effective marketing strategy as students will see an interesting major in the UAC...

First year would be when most people sign up i'd say, at least pre-COVID they would usually hit the subjects in first year that span multiple majors. E.g. Engineering Communications at UTS.

Yeah, they usually visit campuses and encourage first years to sign up. As would Professionals Australia. You can sign up here, you get a membership card and can technically use the postnominal "StudIEAust"...

IT courses pretty varied, some courses will require maths and others wont. For anything more on the engineering or computer science side, it would definitely be to your advantage to stick with advanced maths.

What are you planning on doing after year 12? Plenty of courses (e.g. all of STEM, certain business/commerce majors) require knowledge from advanced maths or higher, and you'd be better off doing that in school rather than cramming it in a briding course or similar.

I remember that old thread and the one drongoski references about pens haha from back when I was doing my HSC. I think this "method" gets weird reactions as some people assume that you think the battery/electricity itself will help lol.

Not sure about CTF, but for competitive programming C++ and/or Java would be recommended but you don't necessarily have to start with those. The biggest programming competition is the ICPC for university students and it is restricted to C, C++, Java and Python. The other big competition is...
