It's good to be reading a lot of literature, but I don't know how much that's going to help you for the GAMSAT?

If anything it will help you read faster and more accurately, but I think you're still better off learning principles of logical reasoning. Not too experienced with the GAMSAT, but apparently section one is similar to section one of the UMAT.

The GAMSAT reading comprehension is well above the UMAT level and if you're unfamiliar with the styles of writing that are commonly used, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with them. A reading list to casually work through is a pretty good idea.

any other first years here that aren't seeing their subjects when logging into the LMS or am I alone here?

$1.30/hr if you park in the 4hr spots, $2.60 an hour if you don't. $9 all day in the big carpark opposite the old Royal hospital (cardigan st)

Student Centre workers don't work during weekends do they? I supposedly have an appointment on Monday but I still haven't received any confirmation email yet.

Does anyone know where the Japanese lecture would usually be held? It doesnt say in the timetable for the lecture
I organised my timetable so that I have a tutorial right after, but that's all the way at The Spot

I was wondering, is it worth paying $500 upfront to get a 10% discount on uni fees? thanks!

Honestly I think not because you will barely notice the 10% on your bachelor's degree in like 20 years time when you finally leave uni with a much larger bill.  Like, your uni fees will be what - 4000 dollars?  What is 400 dollars over x years?  Not much in the long run...

That said, if your parents are offering to pay your fees, why not!  I just think interest free loans are nothing to scoff at.
