    Dropping from a major to a minor

    You should honestly ask the maths/economic faculty about it, I don't think we are the best people to give you an answer.

    Studying non-stop, and its only Year 11, what should I do?

    I used to be like you, but you will burn out half way through year 12 if you continue doing this without giving some free time for yourself. It is a marathon, don't burnt all your fuel in yr 11 so that you have nothing left in the tank for year 12. Chill a little bit, and just study a bit ahead...

    How to Study Consistently??!!

    I think setting up a higher ATAR goal in itself will be insufficient, you need to find a course you want to do, and correlate that course with your ATAR goal, then it will become more meaningful, otherwise I am not sure whether you will believe in it enough to actually genuinely make the...

    How to Study Consistently??!!

    To study consistently, you need to have the willpower and goal and support to do that. You need to be able to have delayed gratification of doing something easier or watching something on youtube to pursue a much more important goal, maximising your ATAR. You may disagree with me on this goal...

    Actuarial + Engineering

    To be a certified actuary you need to go through several stages, including in stage 1-exams over a 3 year period, of which each exam is $600 dollars (you can self-study and take it before university but you must be damn smart and dedicated to achieve these results, otherwise you will need to...

    Any Public Speaking Advice/Tips?

    I will give you a few words of advice (it may be few but it is true)-be genuinely passionate about what you are speaking, practice so much you know it literally at the back of your mind, and take feedback on and improve, instead of trying to think of other people as competitors, why not think of...

    Failing Advanced English

    I think the best thing you can do is to get someone to mark your essays-for free or for a price, perfect those essays and memorise and adapt it to the question to maximise your marks. Then after your trials and before your HSC, continue to work on perfecting those essays and practise better...

    is english compulsory in uni??

    English as a subject is not compulsory in uni-unless of course you are doing an English major in an arts degree than that's a different story.

    Does failing the school assessment tasks scaled me down? Help plz!!

    I think it is always possible to achieve a good result at the end, but realistically speaking, you need to acknowledge that failing exams and only getting 30%-40% showed a significant lack of understanding of the content. (Unless those exams were absurdly hard and the average is a bare pass)...

    kind of failed my half yearlies. chance of good atar?

    Stop looking for other people's inspirational story to assure you, create your own by getting your act together and just study and do your best. It is always possible that someone did bad in half yearlies, and did well in the trials and HSC, but even if they did, it doesn't mean you will as...

    How important is exercising during the HSC?

    I think the key at the end of the day is finding the right balance for you, to be honest, just studying and no exercising at all is not very good for your health. I would recommend a moderate amount of exercise per week-you need to be physically healthy, physiologically strong and emotionally...

    Drawing Advice Needed :)

    I actually used mixed media for my HSC visual arts major work which was like 4 years ago haha-time flies by. I have never used pen with charcoal, however, I think if you want to use them together, if you are using charcoal first, you should make sure you have some sort of fixating agent-which...

    Will I lose marks in the hsc?

    I think realistically it depends on how much time you have, i.e. if you have enough time to work with another text and you are confident you will do well, then by all means go for it. However, if you don't have much time before your trials, just use the one you already have but make sure you...

    Thoughts on marrying your bf after graduation?

    I think we can't be a judge of whether you guys should get married now and to be honest, you can afford a wedding depend on how grand or how modest you want it to be. However, I think the most important question to ask yourself is-Why do you want to get married? (is it because do you guys feel...

    4 HL's?

    Although I haven't taken the IB myself, however given your quite commendable academic results of getting 8A's in all your subjects, I think all you need is a little bit more of self-confidence and a little less doubt that you can do the HL Chemistry and that you wouldn't need to drop down.

    English standard institutionalisation

    Can you tell us a bit more about what this topic of institutionalisation is about? As in is it about the experience of being in institutions-i.e. Stolen Generations being pushed onto reserves/missions, or is it about the modern individual being socialised by different institutions, or is it...

    How to Choose Readings???

    Think of it this way, if you spread the reading out, say an hour a day, you could easily finish all these readings in two weeks (which is basically the duration of your school holidays). I think it might be beneficial to skim read some articles and see whether they are useful, they might give...
