Ive done Physics at the HSC. Can I do Fundamentals and maximise my mark?
We recommend choices in units based on your background or interests, but in most cases you are free to choose your own units. You should be aware that, just as in the HSC, final marks in Physics units are scaled on the basis of the group of students you study with. This means that more high grades are awarded in the Advanced class than in other streams because Advanced students typically do better on common questions we set in exams. This does NOT mean that you can’t get the highest grades in, say, the Fundamentals unit. Hard work in any Physics unit will be rewarded with good results. The best advice is to choose the Physics unit best suited to your experience and interests. You will find that unit most satisfying and are likely to do best in it.
