    Subject help

    ^ What MajesticMemes stated was pretty spot on. Also if you consider dropping do keep in mind that you need to be willing to put in the hardwork. @ MajesticMemes - congrats for the Band 6 in English Standard! : )

    Raw vs Aligned marks?

    Hi, This has been one thing that has crossed my mind but I've always been confused about. I've seen many forums where people ask and answer the following question - "raw mark for a band 6 in Chemistry, Physics, Modern, Ancient, SAC, SOR 1/2, English Std/Adv/Ext1, Business, etc.?". I've also...

    How disadvantaged would I be due to the subjects I chose?

    Hello fellow 2018 HSCer, :D There is a reason why teachers tell you to pick subjects you enjoy. It's because you will be motivated to do better in them, which will result in better marks. The only way you are disadvantaged is if you leave note making to the very, very, very last minute (I mean...

    Preparation for Preliminary HSC

    Hi, I do Maths Extension 2 at the moment (although I may drop depending on my rank and mark for first assessment). For Extension Maths I suggest you go over concepts you didn't understand in Year 10 - for me it was probability, but more importantly I worked through the chapters (Cambridge...

    Advice:

    Hi, I'm currently completing 11 units for the HSC. I received some of my tasks back and while majority have been good (band 5/6s), one has been a major disappointment. I received my Modern History back and received 73%. Despite this I came 7th/25 as our cohort struggled and it was marked...

    Is Samuel Davis a retard?

    Study methods?

    Hi, Mathematics: Whether it is General, Advanced, Extension 1 or Extension 2 you need to practice. If you are given homework - DO THE HOMEWORK. The only way you can do well for this subject is by doing practice exams. Use HSC textbooks that contain past HSC papers and complete questions from...

    Small Cohort

    Hi, For your circumstances it depends on the perform of your cohort as other people have stated. If your cohort performs very well - which it seems you do have a strong cohort from what I noticed on another thread, you will be fine. Take this for example: NOTE I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON SCALING SO...

    Chemistry or Economics?

    As a humanities person I recommend Economics. I didn't do Economics but I have covered an aspect of it (pretty much the economic cycle - I did cover economics in year 10 Commerce though) in Business Studies. I have done Chemistry and from my experience it wasn't too enjoyable. If anything by the...

    Three Essays One Night?

    Memorising essay questions for the HSC external paper isn't a good idea. Every year the questions and stimulus changes for BOTH HSC Papers 1 and 2. Unless you have been given the essay question then yes you can, however, this only applies for INTERNAL assessments, not the external exam (starting...
