Okay, had my five hour sleep. Let's do thisssssssssssss

do a bit each day and progressively increase the amount you do, only by slight amounts though a lot of people don't use this time effectively half yearly time can get really busy, so use this time to get ahead

well you need a way of going over the content, and comprehensive notes allow you to do that without reading the irrelevant discourse contained in the traditional textbook it's not like you're just going to stare at a wall to revise for an exam and hope that somehow you can derive the content

lol

The HSC is largely, math being the exception, a formulaic system; make notes, learn them, regurgitate. It's this same formula which tutoring companies exert onto their clueless students who pay insane amounts thinking they are 'buying' their way to a high ATAR, 'here's the notes formulated by...

I'm not exactly sure if that's a good method >merit lists >"shit, my name isn't on any" >runs around in hysteria and causes damage to neighborhood >next day 89 in all subjects etc etc I never understood why they just don't do it all in one day "I'm going to put this sword in your gut and...

not long now...

atar is lyfe

yeaaaaaah

The relative easiness of the HSC was seriously exaggerated on this forum. I felt that every exam was easy and I didn't have any major curveballs, but still, lots of people found them difficult. I just felt that it needed to be said since everyone on here thinks that the band six cut off for...

My biggest mistake is getting four state ranks instead of five. There's this guy called obliviousninja who's on a similar boat. *Sigh*

Yes, ten days till judgement day.

This. That BOS quote is really weird. Suspicion isn't evidence and how can you disprove the affirmative? "I made this essay and my dog witnessed it". The nature of events the kid has related are also pretty weird. If you hand in the task, why is it necessary that the teacher asks you...

I think your school night hours are proportional to your aims, but 10 hours on the weekend is extreme, and unnecessary. I understand it if you're being inefficient and you just do your homework in short bursts over the span of the day, but if you're doing 8-10 hours of serious study, that's too...

This. 100% I get that we sometimes need direction, but what this guy said, stands.

wow amazing work!

Too difficult to estimate due to unforeseeable variables. If they're last, they'll get the lowest external as their internal. Some kid could get 10% The situation is very improbable. I can see kids significantly improving from internals to externals (a band, and in some cases, two), but going...

Oh, yes, but I'm saying some doctors could leniently give it out. It happens all the time. So yeah they'll confirm the certificate, but that doesn't mean the certificate is 'authentic' (i.e. that the kid was actually sick).

If you have a doctors certificate, that's formal and it can't be disputed to say you were not sick. Then again, It's super easy to get a doctors certificate, not that I ever did get one for the HSC, but the teachers have nothing to do but attribute ultimate legitimacy to it, so they can't say...
