    Preparing for 2u and 3u

    4U Tutoring Options

    I know someone who went Truongs and he said it's really good + he got really high in 4u + it's cheap so should be fine!

    Preparing for 2u and 3u

    I think trial papers are pretty useful too and if you wanna practice hard questions then do JR, sydney grammar, syd boys, etc.

    4U Tutoring Options

    1 should be enough just do heaps of practice papers and reflect on how to improve your method regarding approaching questions.

    HSC Mark

    The actual internal mark doesn't matter it's just your rank and relative gaps. E.g. if you got 50/100 internal mark overall but you're ranked 1st, your internal mark becomes the highest external mark even if it's 100. If you were, say 5th, then your internal mark will be APPROXIMATELY the 5th...

    School effecting ATAR?

    If you're first you won't be affected at all since first place's assessment mark is the highest external mark as well. My friend from a school around urs got 99.75 and another one in ranked 400s got in the 95s for atar so dw

    Advice on workload?

    Imo I knew someone who did extension 2 english, it's defs not worth the workload for 1 unit. It takes soooo much editing, reading, researching, fixing up, brainstorming, for 1 mark. I just don't think it's worth it unless you REALLY love english.

    State Rankings

    All rounders means a band 6 (90+ overall) in 10 units worth of subjects (doesn't have to include english). State rank means you get one of the highest marks for the subject (so varies each year) which is usually high 90s for science (e.g. 97 98 etc) and usually 100 raw for maths subjects.

    Why is MAQ given so much shit

    To be honest uni doesn't matter if you're a good candidate you'll get a job. That said, I've found MQ quite nice - I've met good people and friends ans everyone's supportive. I think there's a lot of societies to join with many events, the teaching has been fine so far, and there's many support...

    Year 9 & 10 Chat Thread

    I found that reading my peers' work who got good marks and trying out stuff that worked for them helped me improve a lot! Also take on feedback after each assessment and adjust study methods to see if different ones are more effective. Let me know if you need more help! :)

    2018ers Chit-Chat Thread

    What was everyone's ATAR goal at the start of yr 12 vs now? I know mine definitely changed a lot so I'm curious about your ones!

    2018ers Chit-Chat Thread

    I think the most important thing (IN MY OPINION) is to know the content inside out. A lot of people go to papers before knowing the content which I think is less effective. I ended up doing around 10 past papers for physics HSC but since I had to cram revision of phys the day before the HSC I...

    Is 10 units a good idea for me?

    I'd do the 10 you're considering tbh. Less workload and you can focus on those subjects to increase their marks. Your ranks are really good for them too so it should be fine. That's basically what I did just did 10 units because I knew I could do good in bio/phys and 4u and it worked out fine!

    Handwrite or Type notes?

    All up to personal preference! I wrote mine for biology because it was part of homework and it was fine while for physics I just used notes from online (since it didn't need much of my own understanding/own wording, but rather it needed me to understand content that was already existing). I...

    Question about aligning/scaling

    Yep as stated it won't exactly be the 14th highest, but it should be close-ish to it.

    Need Some Advice on Failure

    Hello, just going to type a short reply. I didn't even try the selective test and I went to a private/catholic school instead and I ended up getting a really high atar and a lot of my close friends also came from non-selective schools. They got high atars and are all motivated in succeeding in...
