I just did barely enough to get the ATAR needed for my degree. Meant that I didn't stress too much, and that I had a heaps fun Yr 12, some of the best times of my life. It's good not to stress yourself to oblivion. Also don't procrastibate too much ;)

actually, usyd does accept undergrad medicine

http://sydney.edu.au/medicine/future-students/medical-program/combined/index.php

but it only offers 40 places and needs to be done as a double degree- you need an atar of 99.95 to be considered :P
Ah well there you go then. You'd be crazy to do a combined degree of medicine though, you wouldn't have time to study!
First world problems.. Get 99.75, can't do med cause of shower UMAT score LOLOL

Got 99 in the UMAT and didn't get in to med! ::)

My Mocks for end of Year 12 Start on Saturday.

Only started studying on Monday (lol)

Exams are worth, in reality, 10% of the year including HSC.

I am doing Econs, Business, Maths, English, Geography.

I'm not counting Maths to my HSC grade.

Saturday - English
Monday - Maths
Wednesday - Business
Thursday - Geography & Economics

Anyone have any tips on how i should plan my studying from here... regarding that English/Maths wont need as much study as the rest.

Today i'll probably do some practise exams for English and Maths and finalise my Maths notes.

But what to do with the other 3... hmmm... Sunday i think will be predominantly Business/Maths based...

God i can't wait till all this sh*t is over.. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

what jormas?

your final HSC exams are worth 50% of your atar...

unless you guys do it drastically different outside of NSW...

Jormas · October 04, 2013, 02:02:27 PM

Mock Exams - Final school exams, are 20% of the SCHOOL year, which is 50% of the year including Final Wace Exams (HSC)

9 Months School work = 40%
End of School Exams = 10%
Wace/HSC Exams = 50%

outrageous. But, these Mock exams will be a barometer
