    Not sure if I'm being too optimistic or not with your marks. That's the ATAR I got from shoving it into talent 100 calc Scenario 1: ~92 Hypothetical marks: Eng Adv: 81 3U: 85 4U: 84 Phys: 82 Bio: 87 Scenario 2: ~95 Hypothetical marks: Eng Adv: 83 3U: 88 4U: 87 Phys: 85 Bio: 90

    ATAR estimate plEASe save me from this hell

    Probably low 80s, mid if you're optimistic. Sounds like the workload is too much, so my advice is to drop your worst 2 units and focus on the remaining 10. This will give you more time to study and relax (so you won't feel like you're drowning)

    How do I get an "A" grade without reading my texts

    I said that the AOS would probably be and I say this because it's only the second (and last?) year of discovery. When I did discovery, most people (teachers, students and tutors with handy connections lol) predicted it would be a dot point worded into a question. It feels like BOSTES is testing...

    How do I get an "A" grade without reading my texts

    I think reading the texts at the beginning sucked for me. But after reading the analysis on the texts, it actually made the prescribed texts so much more interesting to me because I was given a much more profound perspective than the shallow ideas I had before! Especially for the Shakespeare...

    Atar estimateee post half yearly ranks

    There really isn't that much improving you can do. The best is to just top all your subjects lol That way, you can be held accountable for your own HSC mark. I feel like you can get 97 comfortably right now, but if you want a guarantee, top all your subjects.

    How do i concentrate and put more effort and time in school work?

    If you're getting distracted, then all you need to do is remove the distractions. If it's your computer, print your notes out and grab your textbook, or print the past papers out, etc. If it's your phone, put your phone into your bag or leave it in another room. Then go somewhere quiet and work...

    Essay Question: Help!

    Majority of the time, you will be agreeing with the question (also the easiest way to approach the Q). Since I've never learnt that topic, the only thing I can really tell you is to write a statement that agrees with the Q plus expand it a bit. What I mean is: Intro: Thesis - broad (but not...

    Is 99+ achievable

    So I did the maths for you (kind of, assuming my calculations are all correct lol). And as it turns out, you rank isn't as bad as it looks! Yay. So this is obviously based on the assumption that your cohort is similar to last years, and so you and your cohort will perform similarly. Some of your...

    Is 99+ achievable

    You can probably get 96+ if you make a change, so much so that you end up near topping all of your remaining exams. That should help your rank greatly. But knowing how are you academically at the moment, I can't see a future where you would somehow top your exams. :( You should go onto...

    4u MATHS (12U Total) vs PD/H/PE (13U Total)

    12U is definitely easier than 13U. If you take up 4U, it overlaps with 3U. If you decide to take up PDHPE, that's an entirely different subject. Heaps of the stuff you learn in 3U can be carried over to 4U and vice versa. If you take up 4U, it will definitely strengthen your 3U. If you're...

    Reason for James Ruse 1st in State and why is it not happening in other states?

    Nope. She did do the umat and I think she did really well. But she ended up doing law and science

    Reason for James Ruse 1st in State and why is it not happening in other states?

    You're like this girl who was in my grade. I think she was a 1999er. She did Eng adv, chem, phys, MXI and MXII. She ended up topping all (or maybe almost all) her subjects and got .95!

    smashing the trials

    No LOL Everyone studies differently. Just because that method failed for one person, doesn't mean it'll be just as bad for the next person. Like what Nailgun said, "studying helps lol." You just gotta find what method of studying works for you.

    Essay structure?

    If you're aiming to keep a 50:50 balance between your prescribed and related, it would mean that your related paragraph would be pretty lengthy. The only reason why it might not be good is that the marker might get lost in the paragraph, unless well written. Which is why, most people stick to...

    The Brain for English Tutoring?

    The best decision I made for English was changing from group to private tutoring. I had an awesome English tutor who helped A LOT.
