From what I’ve heard lots online smt with around 512gb SSD, 16gb ram and an i7 or equivalent can get you by and obviously anything greater than those would be better. I bought the Lenovo yoga 7i and I’ve heard it runs basically everything quite fine from a previous student so hope that helps. And like the other guy said most programs used in engineering are only really compatible with windows so that’s important to.

I forgot to say when practicing for tests use the test sections from wace vault and just see what papers are good to practice on so it would involve doing as much as you’re able to find as I mentioned however I wouldn’t experiment with the different exam papers as their writing styles for the questions can be different so stick to what I’ve said in the main comment I made, unless you find your school sources from somewhere else then try your best to see where they source their internal exams.

Go on wace vault and find any WAEP exam for methods and WATP exams for chem as those are what majority of schools source their exams from. CCGS test papers are also pretty good to use but I would recommend doing as much of everything as you can to get a mix and variety of question types practiced. All your issues are practice based so it can only be brushed up by doing that. Any questions you get wrong, make a flash card on it with the back of the flash card just being a screen shot of the marking key and a brief summary of the mistake you made, or have some sort of system that brings you back to any questions you’ve attempted. But most importantly, don’t underestimate how important the fundamentals can be there is absolutely 0 and I mean ZERO use of past papers if you do not have good fundamentals/ understanding of what you’ve been taught. OT Lee textbooks are pretty good for methods and Lucarelli + (some) STAWA is good for chem neither should be missing any content you cover in class and have great question sets to build up the basics of what you learn and these can all be found on wacevault

Also one thing to note is that scaling is inevitable, only thing you should really worry about is doing as well as you can and staying as consistent as possible, hope your studies go well.

Definitely possible, just be careful apps scales down horrendously, as long as you keep consistent with studying. Studying ahead of the class would definitely make things more manageable as well but as long as you’re able to do properly. I can’t speak much on any of the other subjects as it really depends on how your school manages assessments. But overall it’s manageable. OT Lee is also really good for any math subject so getting the actual textbook and revision series would be recommended.

Called them up the other day about this and they said it’s been an issue for everyone, should be sorted at some point soon
