2024 HSC Chat (16 Viewers)

[AsuTeksu]

Howdy All!

Considering there's just over a week until Term 4 begins, I thought it'd be nice to get all the 2024'ers together, just to see how everyone's holding up before Year 12 content is engraved into our brains! I also find it somewhat funny that a 2024 HSC Chat hasn't been made, yet a 2025 HSC Chat has.

I know that the 2023'ers are yet to do their HSC and we technically aren't Year 12s until they finish, but from what I've heard, most schools are starting Year 12 content from Day 1 rather than waiting till Week 5.

So, in saying that, here's an early toast to the 2024'ers!!!

Feel free to say whatever's on your mind!

Just some advice from us 2023'ers:

1. Don't stress over any bad marks at the beginning, use it as a learning opportunity. Getting a bad mark in term 1 is not the end of the world. Use the bad mark to give you motivation to work harder, and do even better overall. And trust me, everyone gets at least some bad marks in year 12 (even 99.5+ atar people).
2. Don't underestimate the importance of healthy relationships and working together as a cohort.
3. Enjoy the year, it's meant to be fun!

Good luck!

studying hard or hardly studying?

studying hard or hardly studying?

On my side, a mix of both. Attempting to "study hard" to stay on top of content so I don't drown in it later down the track. I didn't learn much from my teachers, everything was mainly self taught throughout Year 11 so studying ahead will let me highlight weak areas before it's too late.

wait if you're on 87% after trials, thats surely a likely band 6, cause the marks get aligned and moderated upwards

this is the raw mark to aligned mark conversion for each hsc year.
note that 2022 hsc was really hard so it aligned high

That’s not how it works my internal is currently 97 or higher
