I don't think there is any way to change your HSC marks, but you could apply for Educational Access Scheme: http://www.uac.edu.au/eas/ You have to submit evidence (doctor's certificates etc.) about how you have been disadvantaged (e.g./ mental illness has caused you to miss school, loose...

Ex-Hscers say when you've done English, you feel like you've done the HSC. Anyone feel like this?

Arrgh, I have no idea, we didn't even cover that in class. But it sounds like the right scene..with Claudius or something? Well at least Eng is done forever.

Did anyone else reference the Hamlet quote to another character (not Hamlet?) ...or am I the only one? :(

Peppermint, Cammomile, Green tea, Jasmine, Lavender, Rose, Yorkshire....

I've got friends who did three, and it is humanly possible but you have to be really organised. Personally, I'd avoid 3 but for some people they pace themselves and don't regret it, I guess it comes down to personality. Ancient His is massive, be forewarned,it is very content heavy and relies on...

Like others have said, don't be ashamed to go see a counsellor and also look into applying for Special Provisions if you are still to do the HSC. To do this you just have to get a letter from your GP and you could get up to 5 mins rest time during exams. Take magnesium tablets, they are...

Thank you heaps! ...Any more?

I read around topics with a vague eye out for possible related texts. In a way, in year 11 I would just enjoy reading whatever book you want to, it's something you really come to miss doing the HSC.

Hi Guys, I tried to do this before but now the info is much better, thanks to OzKo's advice so please if anyone can give me an estimate that would be great. Thanks BoSers. :lol: Adv. Eng - half yearlies = 87%, trials = 77% rank 9/101 (Band 6s in 2013: 36/99) Ancient His- half yearlies = 80%...

:spin:Hi guys, I'd really love an atar estimate! Adv. Eng - half yearlies = 87%, trials = 77% rank 9/101 (this is the trials rank) Ancient His- half yearlies = 80%, trials = 76% rank 3/21 Vis Arts - half yearlies = ?, trials = 97%, rank 1/ 26 Modern His - half yearlies = 70%, trials = 79%, rank...

Hi guys, I've just been to ANU open day and I'm still unsure about which college is best, so what is your honest opinion? I'm interested in doing History, and going catered, so far I gather Johns is a no go, but what about Ursies, Burgman or Bruce? What distinguishes them? I'm not really...

Absolutely not. My fav teacher quit school in year 10, now she's a really engaging, passionate and bright history teacher. Smart kids can fail HSC and not so smart ones (if you are organised and determined) can do well, like BLIT2014 said.

I'm doing all humanities (in year 12 now) and I don't regret it at all! Although it's not the most all-rounded subject selection, if that's where your interests lie, then go for it. Especially in HSC year you will find lots of your subjects may overlap, like Modern History 'Cold War' and...

Not 100% sure, maybe teaching, but I don't want to commit to education, and BA just seems to have all the hummanities I'm interested in. Employment for BA (or lack of) is obviously a bit of a joke so a teaching diploma after is probably the way I'll go.
