Same situation except im looking into transferring to commerce @ UNSW - i called UAC admissions and they said they will take EAS and bonus points.

^^ addition to above, i don't think a lot of people think about their career prospects. A lot of us are worried to finish with honours or such

Long story short, I enrolled into medicinal chemistry UNSW since it seemed like a course that would be really interesting but every person in my cohort i've spoken to is either clueless of their future career prospects or planning to do a masters to use medicinal chemistry as a stepping stone...

Lol. Brb. Dropping out.

Prioritise your stuff. Honestly from what you're saying- I was exactly like you in HSC, I worried about the future too much because there would be all these assignments that would come up and I was afraid that it was crippling. Best advice: don't worry whats going to happen in the future e.g...

Completely subjective. I know people who did better BECAUSE they dropped 3U but conversely there have been people who could have done better with 3U. If you can't bear the stress of 3U (some topics in 3U are bloody annoying e.g. binomials, projectiles) drop it. It isn't worth the extra stress...

nb: when i say dot point, i mean how the rubric or syllabus of english can be broken into their own individual 'dot points' and question 1&4 are interchangeable 1. I'd suggest knowing your dot point in detail. In saying that, not the surface value of 'of course, you have to know your shit' - i...

Where the cute first years at?

A lot of people above has pretty much said everything that needs to be done to 'study smarter' but i'll summarise my opinion of studying smarter. - Understand what you're studying: There's no real point in skimming through your content every time you're studying and saying 'i know this - next'...

Highly recommended. IMO this is the only time of your life that you'll be able to travel to another country without really have to do any planning and unlike travelling with your peers/friends alone, school pretty much forces everyone to agree on places to visit so none of your friends get...

To emphasise this point, if you know you can't understand concepts or you do but it takes time (the thing you dont have in exams) ROTE LEARN IT. Seriously; sciences, maths, english - you can rote learn to an extent. E.g. Not good at discovery essays? Write 5 generic essays and practice adapting...

Prioritise your health over everything. Even though HSC year does 'pass by quickly', if you're tired or stressed. TAKE A BREAK. Trying to force yourself to study while stressed is actually counter-productive and unless you're studying a few day before the test YOU HAVE TIME. on that note, also...

This is seriously deja vu. Don't give up. I was in your situation about a month go, i was upset about my ranks and how they didnt reflect the amount of time and effort i put into it. But how i got through was that i realised that yeah sure my ranks and marks are bad but what was i going to do...

Hahaha cheers for the advice. I don't think i'm going to get smashed that night or smash any chick ;) some of the guys might have a few shots here and there but i doubt anyone is stupid to drink to a point of chundering since our formal is before hscs. White seemed skeptical but really? black...

Its June already, can you guys believe it? Well that means trials, HSCs, graduation and formal! I was thinking of wearing a white suit (http://images.asos-media.com/inv/groups/10528/image1xxl.jpg ) since i know a lot of guys are going to be wearing 600-700 dollar suits and even one of the guys...
