Angel’s University Experience

Aug 25, 2014

In the name of keeping our students in Vision as they climb the final stages of Mount HSC 2014 we have asked our coaches to provide some insights about their University experience.

This week our Senior Coach, Angel gives us an insight into Actuarial Studies/Bachelor of Science.

1) What course/Uni?

Bachelor of Actuarial Studies/Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) at UNSW

2) What you like about your course so far?

Despite its difficulty, this course has provided me with many great accomplishments. The moment I understand a mathematical problem is a moment I strive to remember in order to motivate me to learn more. This course also includes many business subjects such as accounting and economics, so it really opens up other options too. Going into a lecture theatre, you are always surrounded by the same group of people for actuarial subjects as there are around 200 students doing it in total, basically there will always be mates around and everyone is friendly.

3) What you like about your Uni?

Some of the best things about UNSW include their free food in addition to their wide range of societies which hold all sorts of events. In particular, I am a part of ASOC (Actuarial Society) and it is a great tight-knit community where you get to share experiences and get to know others who are currently in the same position as you (or were, at one point, in the same position as you). UNSW also has many great places to eat, whether it is the Max Brenner on campus or Asian cuisines all along Anzac Parade, you can try something new basically every day!

Working harder doesn’t automatically mean better results.
If your study patterns and habits are off, more hours just means more wasted energy.
Smart work beats long work every time.

Make these 3 changes to your HSC preparation and watch your results improve:

1️⃣ Be clear on why you’re doing the work and what you’re aiming for. For many, motivation doesn’t just appear.. you need to work on it.

2️⃣ Take small, consistent and proactive actions instead of cramming and hoping it sticks.

3️⃣ Practice questions and writing even before you are ready. Most students will avoid this action until the week before an exam.. this is where marks are gained.

Most students know what to study. Top performing students have learned HOW to train.

Five reasons you’re not motivated.
Here’s the truth they don’t tell HSC students.
Motivation feels good, but it fades.
Discipline is what shows up on the days you don’t feel like it.
That’s what gets results in study and in life

Small changes in your study habits can completely change your HSC results.
Consistency > cramming.
Sydney students who fix the basics early always finish stronger. 📚
