I wouldn't say it's 'hard' to get a band 6. The course is easier than advanced. If you get a band 6 student from advanced they could probably get a band 6 in standard with a bit less effort. Point is as I said most of the cohort doesn't really care about doing well in it and I speak from experience.

How’d you all find the chem exam?

Dam the 3u paper literally looks like another 4u paper. Anyway how'd it go to those to attended?

It comes out right after the exam is finished.

That was ages ago. Society now is much much better. If one person is racist 10 people speak against it. It takes time to change people’s mindset. Some people at the time the laws were introduced might not have accepted the new rules due to the fact that there were so used to the old ones. No...

Personally I only really went over my essays instead of practicing writing them in a timed format for the HSC and I got a band 5. So I think if you want to break that band 6 barrier you need to really practice actually writing them to a variety of scenarios.

Seems like the registration capped really early this year as opposed to other years.

Mate same. All my cousins in America attend Ivy league schools, Hardvard etc.. In fact last year one of my cousins also got into MIT. I got roasted so much by my parents for going to a school like UNSW... Even though idc.

Yep no joke at all. A lot of the time it was exaggerating things to the point that they're untrue. For example someone I know did community service for a day or something but wrote it out to say it was for much longer and also added in extra roles that they never did. Now they can't exactly...

Tbh this was my parents view as well but I had learnt when I was very young not to give a dam about others opinions on you. So I never cared what my parents or relatives thought of my atar. Strive for your best! Striving completely for something other want from you can lead to disappointment...

Dammm. The situation at Macquarie seems even more grim than unsw.

Girraween I would say is significantly better than Penrith. A 20 rank difference in the top schools is usually quite a lot. I would recommend go with Girra if both schools are equally convenient for you. For example if it takes you 2 hours to get to Girra but Penrith is closer then I would go...

I recommend this to anyone. It was great when I did it!

I picked my uni choices solely based on rankings. Having seen the work from my friends studying the same course as I do at other unis I've seen teaching quality varies a lot for the same course between unis as well and the general trend I've found is better ranked = more demanding workload and...

Since your HSC is next year I wouldn't stress about it too much right now but definitely try and get all your subjects to being ranked first. That being said schools outside top 150 also tend to fluctuate a lot in terms of what atars are achieved. For example in my school the highest atar for 2...

You're really on the edge. It's not guaranteed although likely you could get a band 6. However band 6's usually do vary by some amount depending on the school so I wouldn't say you will definitely but it's likely.

Uni is like HSC but every day for 4 straight years. In all seriousness uni is much more straining than high school...
