Hey, I've done my third assessment for the course and I think I stuffed it up majorly. I've achieved the following results throughout the year: Task 1. Weighting 10%, score 89%. Task 2. Weighting 30%, score 75%. (first place achieved 81%, I was tied 2nd/Last with another student in the...

Yikes 10 units instead of 12 for Year 11?! : ( HOWEVER, THERE IS ALTERNATIVES - I think you can drop Biology and pick up Senior Science which (from what I have heard from my friends at school) it is a bit similar to Year 10 science (I may be incorrect as I have dropped science and haven't...

Hey Cundle, It's great you have an idea about what you would like to do next year, good on you! I think you should consider the following to make your life a little less stressful when you are in Year 11 and Year 12. You stated you wanted to do medicine, so I think its good you have selected...

I agree with Pikachu975, if anything you're giving yourself an advantage because you're continuously revising the content and this will help you in the long term. You won't be cramming for the Trials and HSC. You'll also be retaining and understanding the content of each course more efficiently...

Don't do it. Don't even consider doing it. If you read over their PIP to try to get an understanding of how they answered the question or how to write an essay in a sophisticated manner that's fine, because, some people read exemplar responses to different questions to get an idea of HOW to...

Based on what students achieved last year in my school, who did very similar subjects to you with those marks, (my school is ranked lower than yours) in my opinion I think you can achieve 98+ if you keep those marks and ranks up (they achieved 98+). Congratulations! : )

I'm sure you can do it, I think the minimum mark you should attain for English Standard is around 93. According to Matrix ATAR calculator (BASED ON WHAT THE CALCULATOR HAS PROVIDED, I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS): English Std: 95.9 Math Ext 2: 91.2 Biology: 95.7 Math Ext 1: 95.2 Physics...

In Year 10 I was at the bottom of my 5.3 class and my teacher said I wasn't good enough for Maths Ext 1. I was averaging 70% - 80%. By the end of Prelim I achieved 90% overall in Maths Ext 1, came 1st in the cohort and got an automatic spot in the Math Ext 2 class. Currently in the HSC...

Highest ATAR ever achieved in my school was a girl in 2015 who scored 99.50. She dropped Science and Maths completely. Did: English Advanced, Modern History, Ancient History, History Extension, Legal Studies and SORI. It is possible to achieve above 99 without 4 unit maths. Work hard and you...

Thanks for the understanding, I really appreciate it! : ) That kid in your class is crazy, 99% is out of this incredible!! Also I hope you went well with your exams too SupR, I'm sure you did great!

Sorry about the confusing message, I tried to fix it up. But thanks for your advice though, I appreciate it!

Thank you for the encouragement and advice! I really appreciate it and will definitely start doing a paper/few questions a day. : )

Hey, So I've just completed my half yearlies and I'm worried about my result (I usually worry about results because I'm a perfectionist). I studied for the exam quite effectively and was able to get through majority of the paper. (Around a good 85% as there were some really challenging...

Hey, My school is currently doing the Half Yearly exam block (this past week and next week... yay...). What my cohort coordinator said was "use the Half Yearlies as a guide as to where you need to improve". I suggest you take this advice. I think it's still achievable to attain a 96 ATAR but...

Hey, Like everyone else has said you still have a chance! People don't give a crud about your ATAR when you're in university. For the first day people may ask how you went but that's pretty much it. Just make sure you don't plagiarise again throughout Year 12. If you're struggling with an...

@SupR - amazing, just amazing! (your comment). Pretty much follow everything tkawl said (@tkawl nice notes and congrats on the ATAR too! :tennisclap:) I've been doing this for Modern History and it has helped quite a bit. (Let's see how I go with my assessment this coming Friday and Half...

YES!!! Listening to nightcore and DJ remixes are great, especially for walking, running, kick boxing, dancing, etc.

I agree with the above. : )
