    UMAT 2015 Discussion Thread

    I would actually prefer USW med to UNSW. I think that the UMAT this year was what it should always be. People learning section 3 'techniques' for matrix, pick the middle (mapping), 3-2 rule etc... couldn't really utilise them. Section 1 questions using tabulated information and logical mind...

    The Fundamental Reason for my Choice of Medicine.

    Firstly, when I categorize businessmen and lawyers, I'm not talking about everyone. I truly believe that there are some people who are passionate and faithful to what they do. That said, I even have respect for some 'criminals' whom may act unlawfully but to my morals correct. Again, before I go...

    The Fundamental Reason for my Choice of Medicine.

    First and foremost, I apologize if what I have said is contrary to what you believe. I am a high school student and honestly have no idea in what a lawyer SHOULD do. I cannot comprehend the complexity of the law or the lawyers job for that matter. Like I said, my lesser view of lawyers is...

    The Fundamental Reason for my Choice of Medicine.

    Thank you. Without getting too philosophical, saying that nobody is purely alturistic forms a paradox. If I am correct, you are saying that a person feels qualified upon a selfless and and the core they are not selfless. We can't really resolve this. I would really like to believe that when I...

    The Fundamental Reason for my Choice of Medicine.

    No, not at all. They are crucial for the western society. My devaluing of them comes from the core disgust from our society - and to discuss that requires a threat of its own :). That and the fact that I have personally dealt with two lawyers due to a car insurance claim and although 2 is a very...

    The Fundamental Reason for my Choice of Medicine.

    No, that is a harsh generalization. However my personal view of myself, would be of disapproval hence I made sure to use first person.

    The Fundamental Reason for my Choice of Medicine.

    I've seen many posts here on the forums of why people want to study medicine. People state many reasons, of which some seem to be conjured up, merely to present the "passionate doctor," while others may be genuine in their struggle to become doctors. Now, I am not too sure if many people agree...

    Carrotsticks' Extension 1 HSC 2013 Solutions

    lost about 10 marks! Damn. Also, I did the final part of the last question. HOWEVER, instead of using the approximation t= 0.56, I used t= 0.57 (because that is what I get from 1 application of Newtons method). From there, I did everything else, but my valuse are: (e^(e^0.57) = 5.87) but my...

    Q16

    The whole papaer was pretty easy. EXCEPT question 16(after c). Thought I do know how to answer now. For C. i. we have x^2 + (y-c)^2 = r^2 and y = x^2 Solving simultaneously (FOR y - or for x but y is easier). We get y^2 + y(2c-1) - r^2 + c^2 = 0 From the graph and according to the...
