Re: 99.85 attending Harvard, 2016 - Setting up HSC "State Rank Lectures" tutoring com Bump! Great idea, and they've got another set of lectures coming up over the next few weeks. Check out their website stateranklectures.com.au

Bump! Looks like some good advice

Your ranks will put you close, personally I'd try to push them up a bit though - it's easier to secure internals then it is externals, and it will pay dividends when it comes to the HSC. Other than that man the biggest tip I can give you is mindset - it's all about mindset. Believe that you can...

Like I saw on another thread, check out this link to an old version of their site: http://web.archive.org/web/20110716070405/http://www.hsc.csu.edu.au/ Cheers, swagmeister

Hey! First of all, I'd like to really commend you for the attitude you're taking into Year 11 - it will really serve you well, and you should be really proud of it. My attitude in Year 11 wasn't even close to that... Lot's of great thoughts here - also check out my post A Collection of HSC...

Hey guys, to anyone reading this with all the tips and stuff I have collated and having done pretty decently ;) myself, I've started an Instagram account (@gamingthehsc) where I'm going to be posting a HSC tip daily in response to people's questions - so feel free to follow, hope it helps!

Thanks for all your advice! Ended up with 97 and 3rd in the state in part thanks to it [emoji2]

I completely agree with this Personally, I started out aiming for 90 but ended up way beyond that (99.65) as once I started getting assessment marks back I increased my goals It will be different for everyone but achievable for anyone

Don't worry about those big holistic syllabus points, you'll end up covering them by covering the details within the syllabus. If you aren't sure what the syllabus wants for you in terms of a more specific dot point, what I did was look how it had been assessed in past HSC exams and that always...

I disagree... The excel guide is definitely better than the business studies in action textbook which has many less key points and much more 'filler' information Overall though my staple textbook was the Creative Business Studies one, definitely the best by far in terms of content and also...

I agree, recent stuff was hard to find for China: For growth, something interesting to talk about is the rise in domestic consumption (grew 11% in 2014). Also, microeconomic reform such as the recent elimination of a lifetime employment guarantee for state sector workers has helped and the...

A trading bloc is normally a group of countries that agree to remove protectionist policies with each other to some degree, whereas a free trade agreement is normally between two countries and removes all protectionist policies

I would use it - it's pretty cool and way more comprehensive than the HDI! Even just put in a sentence about a specific part of the OECD measurements

I honestly didn't like Dixon's, way too much fluff. The creative textbook worked well, and it was nice to complement that with a bit of Riley here and there. And I also found some free uni textbooks online that were helpful :)

Bump because I used many of these tips myself and ended up with a 99.65 ATAR and 2 state ranks at a school that just scrapes the top 200 :cool:

if it helps, my school rank is pretty much the same as yours (I think it may be like 180ish) and I found out today I got 99.65 so yes it is definitely possible greatness won't be spoon fed to you though, so you will definitely have to actively pursue learning yourself

cheers BLIT!

99.65!!! my original atar goal was 90+ (school rank is around 180)

Sounds about right, anything above 99.5 I'll be stoked with

Thanks for the encouragement man! Again you were such an inspiration, pulling your 98 raw, you helped me believe albeit the percentages in ATAR calculators that it was possible to get up so high Yeah I definitely am taking pride in my achievements, I was just sooo close (see my reply to...
