    Questions for those who got a 95+ Atar

    Hi there. I'm contributing a slightly different answer. I got 95+ and would not recommend you follow my lead on how I managed the hsc. However, if you're anything like me then there is hope! :) 1. Approximately how many hours a day did you dedicate to study/homework each day (school days and...

    I just did both For the second one, I felt the questions were asking the same thing sometimes. A lot of the answers are similar because I had already covered them in previous questions. Very thorough though which is great. Good luck :)

    Speech Pathology

    Nervous to start uni

    I'm yet another person who could relate last year. Let me start by saying I've made the most incredible group of friends at uni and don't feel that way at all now. So yes, it does get better- if you let it. I go to the Cumberland campus, which can make it a little easier to make friends but...

    Textbooks

    Hi! I'm a second year speechie :) You'll be told what books you need and I do recommend a few. For linguistics and phonetics you'll need to buy a grammar handbook and a phonetics handbook (available in B block at the printing centre). The lecturer also recommends a textbook and it is referred...

    University vs HSC

    Just some points I came up with The HSC may seem easier content wise (or at least for me- I study a health science) simply because you've spent years building on the same subjects. It took me a while to get my head around some of the uni content because it was something I had NEVER encountered...

    Help for CAFS students.

    May be a bit late (sorry!) But I found that in my lit review I sort of split it into sections addressing small parts of my topic. Also if you can find two perspectives on your topic that gives you a nice structure. If resources is the issue take a look on goverbment sites, reachout, beyondblue...

    IRP Questionaire (would really appreciate if i got a few particpants!) :)

    Hi Talia, I would happily complete your survey but the format is difficult. I found when doing my IRP (as have many others) that survey monkey is a better tool for gathering data online. It allows anonymity (which would be compromised here because everyone can see what other have said. Plus...

    Need help choosing: radiography vs occupational therapy vs speech pathology?

    Speechies are in demand, but that's not the most beneficial reason for entering the course. It's by no means easy (none of them are!) and it takes a lot of time and effort. In saying that, if you are interested in it go for it, however entering it solely due to job prospects isn't the best...

    Best way to study for CAFS

    1) Study I used to make full, comprehensive notes on everything I knew. Then I'd cut them down to a page or 2 per topic, and finally before exam day they'd be on small flashcards. This condenses your knowledge well so you learn everything. Work from your syllabus. Know it back to front, it's the...

    Why you SHOULD pick cafs
