So for degrees in engineering, commerce and computer science, if I received an offer for something else for Dec Round 2, I would still be likely to receive an offer for those other degrees if I am over the ATAR cutoff?
It is childish arguments like telling people that they support pedophilia, slavery and terrorism just because that don't agree with you that really shows how unreasonable you are.

The booklets are scanned separately and sent to separate markers, but if your supervisor wrote on the front of the booklet that you made this mistake, it will get picked up. But you still should definitely contact NESA to confirm.
Are we allowed to use double sigma to find the coefficient in for example, (1+x)^2n = (1+x)^n (1+x)^n or do you have to expand it and evaluate by inspection?
Draw a triangle, use pythag, expand sin2x into 2sinxcosx, since x is obtuse its in the second quadrant so sin is positive and cos is negative, use the triangle to evaluate cos considering the sign.
