    How can I do well at school without tutoring??

    1. Depends on the type of tutoring. Tutoring centre for example then yeah it's a ridiculous price to afford as the lessons are usually like 3 hours and 40 an hour. If it's private tutoring for 1-2 hr and at an okay price then it's probably fine. Most people though don't go tutoring for every...

    Chemistry question help

    20) This is a back titration question. These are usually in the short answer because the calculation is long. Important thing to remember in questions like this is that you need to do it in a step-wise process. Don't think too much about the final answer and just calculate quantities you can see...

    Chemistry question help

    19) There are two types of polymer processes. These are the equations we use for the calculations for both: Addition polymerisation: n monomer --> polymer Condensation polymerisation: n monomer --> polymer + (n-1) H2O All you have to do is select the correct equation and then substitute...

    Chemistry question help

    If you look at the question here it says 500 monomer units. In this one the OP made it contains 1000 monomer units

    Where can I find hard practice questions

    The above are some good ideas. Particularly the idea on the multiple choice because the questions here are often overlooked in terms of study. They can actually be really beneficial if you do them in a certain way such as writing out the full definitions for things or justifying your answer as...

    main concepts to know?

    I've made a post about the chemistry parts from Year 11 that go into Year 12 previously. You can find it here: https://boredofstudies.org/threads/chemistry-new-syllabus-advice-sample-answers-by-an-experienced-hsc-tutor.388479/#post-7314798 For Module 4 on that post you also need to know about...

    how to state rank?

    In HSC this doesn’t always happen, I know from experience as I got a 97 in Adv English and missed out on state rank, even though I saw someone later who had the 97 mark and they got a 14th in state. Other factors go into it described here...

    how to state rank?

    Most years around a 97 is the minimum required for a state rank, but this may not guarantee one as there sometimes where people get the same mark but the state rank is only given to some of them. So to guarantee one it's probably more like 98

    Any Electrical Engineering students, please help me.

    This not really the correct mindset to have in my opinion. The degree and level of content will increase because now you are specialising in a certain area. That happens in every degree. HSC is just to give you a good base and introduction to the concepts broadly speaking. However, it's not like...

    Any Electrical Engineering students, please help me.

    I'm not an engineering student, but relatively speaking the HSC to uni is always a big jump for most degrees. With HSC knowledge obviously you won't be able to do the uni questions, because you haven't learnt about the content at uni yet. They will teach you how to do it, I wouldn't be put off...

    Ranks for 96+ ATAR?

    To get 96 ATAR, most subjects will need to be Band 6. It is to check per subject, so for example if your school gets 10 band 6s in chemistry for example usually, then you would ideally want to be somewhere in that top 10. By looking through each subject and doing that you can find out the...

    Ranks for 96+ ATAR?

    Go to HSC ninja, type your school name and find out how many band 6 usually in each subject. Then you can estimate off using a HSC calculator approximate ranks needed

    How many words should my finance notes be?

    For a subject like business studies you wanna make the notes as short as possible. Since it's a lot of memorising, like certain times when we write things we over explain them, but we can just use dot-points, tables or diagrams and efficently memorise it more doing that instead

    Scholarships - Supporting documents

    Ahhhh right. It doesn't need to be too long, probably half a page to a page is enough. Paragraphs roughly I would write would be: - good qualities you have: for example work ethic, dedication, good manners and interactions with people etc. - awards or achievements that are notable: like for...

    Are you talking about like you need reference letters and you're unsure what the person who is writing that reference letter needs to include?

    There's no specific questions there but UNSW has a general application you submit with everything. Once you sign up on the scholarships website, you need to answer a series of general questions: This stuff: That is basically the application questions for most of the scholarships that they...

    The part where you are meant to actually show your skills and stuff is in the general questions section. Supporting doc is just for making sure or giving evidence that you are not lying about things

    You fill out the application as normal (you have to answer a range of questions with each scholarship application at UNSW). Documentation is this: It's mostly just school reports and if they wanted anything specific
