    Need help

    oh posts like this are my time to shine. i was averaging an 80% in maths advanced for the whole year (it's my worst subject by far). screwed up the trial beyond belief - 53%. the hsc rolled around, i was ranked in the bottom half of my cohort. actually put some work in for the first time in my...

    difference between an 8 marker and a 12 marker?

    i do modern as well and i had a similar spread of questions in my first yr 12 exam. i agree mainly with what was said above, however i have always been told no intros for any questions below ten marks. take from that what you will, but that has been my experience. maybe ask your teacher their...

    hsc subject marks - scaled or not?

    hi! i'm sorry if this is a stupid question but i was really curious about this. so i completed accelerated maths advanced and got a 91 (honestly incredible considering my performance all year). obviously, i just got that mark texted to me yesterday morning. i was wondering if that mark was my...

    yes exactly! getting a band 6 in maths which was not expected makes my aiming for an all rounder award even more attainable. i'm also just excited to be nosy and see how the people i went to primary school with did lmao

    i'm still 16 as well and i did accelerated maths adv - i got a band 6!! nowhere near as good as your marks but i'm thrilled considering i feel like it's my worst subject and i bombed out on the trial. i was genuinely thinking a low band 5

    how much study are you doing in the holidays?

    i'm hopefully finishing up the first draft of both my major works this holidays, which i think i'm tracking towards + catching up on notes and doing some practice questions. just trying to keep the momentum going honestly. i'll properly start after christmas but i've managed to do some ee2 major...

    thank you :))) yeah i was pretty set on a greek mythology aspect since year 7, and it's great to get it in there somewhere :) i think the viva went okay - i guess we'll see when i get my marks back! but i managed to answer all the questions and they didn't seem to want much more from me so i...

    HELP I WANT TO CHANGE MY HSC SUBJECTS BUT THE TERM IS NEARLY OVER

    yep totally :) i can give you all my essay writing tips also i just thought - is it worth talking to a teacher you trust and getting them to vouch for you? that you are capable? that might be considered with more weight than just you on your own? anyway, again, best of luck!

    HELP I WANT TO CHANGE MY HSC SUBJECTS BUT THE TERM IS NEARLY OVER

    yes 100% earlier the better. give it a try. all i'm worried about is your mental health - i've struggled with mental health issues and severe burnout throughout my time at school and i know from experience that it can be ongoing even if you think it's over. i just don't want you to struggle...

    HELP I WANT TO CHANGE MY HSC SUBJECTS BUT THE TERM IS NEARLY OVER

    okay i'm in the same year as you doing chemistry and i definitely feel like even if you're allowed to it may be difficult - a lot of stuff we've already covered in year 11 is coming back to bite us, plus we've done an entire new topic which is examinable. you'd have to learn all of that plus...

    hi! i've got my viva voce on monday so i'm very stressed about that at the moment! i'm most likely going to do a short story on the 1832 Paris Uprising (pretty obscure I know) with a Pandora's Jar metaphor :) currently been digging through old french trial documents and reading some short stories

    thank you for all the encouragement guys!! modern went okay - everyone seemed to struggle so hopefully i'll pull through on top. i had chemistry today which was surprisingly easy. currently working on my history extension proposal with the hopes of finishing it tonight... seems ambitious...
