    Can i write my essay and then choose my question?

    Most likely it won't fit well to the question so you gotta pick the question first.

    Including English in every ATAR is unfair to students with other strengths

    Honestly haven't used stuff from english a single time in uni so far and it didn't even help with the 2 reports we wrote. I'm 100% sure I won't need to analyse poetry in the future so I agree that it should not be compulsory since it's actually useless in my opinion at least. I guess you can say...

    Goal is medicine but nowhere close, advice?

    Well I bludged too much doing the heaps of HW we got given so kept staying up late I guess, but yeah just try study efficiently instead of aiming for higher quantities. Probs should've done more extra curriculars since my course only needed around 98 cutoff but all good. I've found to-do lists...

    Goal is medicine but nowhere close, advice?

    I didn't make it into med cause of UMAT but I'll give some insights: You don't need any medical experience. You can easily relate retail e.g. my job at ___ has allowed me to improve my communication through customer experience. Soft skills like communication are definitely transferrable to the...

    Looking For Richard / King Richard

    Moderation is avoiding extremes/excess so I'm assuming it's talking about Richard's excessive pursuit of power. I think you could talk about how the value of moderation is not followed by Richard as he has an extreme thirst for power to be king. Not sure what else since I've never seen this...

    How early should i be studying for the HSC? Can be too early?

    That's a good work ethic and no, it's not bad. Just make sure you don't burn out and be like "ceebs" after trials since the past papers are more important for HSC!

    MX2 Marathon

    Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Marathon BSQ = PQB (alternate angle theorem) PQB = 180-RPQ (co-interior angles in a parallelogram are supplementary) BSQ + RPQ = 180 Hence opposite angles are supplementary so RSQP is a cyclic quad Hope this reasoning is legit, forgot maths EDIT: Nvm too slow

    Gym whilst studying

    I didn't gym during high school (only uni) but I know my friend who did go gym and he did fine in his HSC so just balance time well. Umm go to a gym that your friends go to so you'll be more motivated to go and also go with someone who already goes gym so they can help you with your form so you...

    Questions About Co Op scholarship / scholarships in general ...

    I didn't get in from interview because I was rly nervous in the interview as I had nothing to talk about, but I still ended up as 7th in MQ co-op with 6 people being accepted so I guess I'm happy with that.

    Questions About Co Op scholarship / scholarships in general ...

    I didn't get into co-op but I got interviews for both UNSW and MQ actuarial so I'll give some advice I guess? They are looking for all rounded people - not only academics BUT they wanna see you're expecting a 96+ ATAR for co-op (or 98+ for actuarial co-op). The type of extracurricular doesn't...

    Too late to do well for hsc

    Yeah it's still possible since year 11 doesn't count to year 12 ranks... Just try think about why you're going wrong in assessments, reflect on it and make changes, i.e. try new methods until one works since it's just year 11. Then implement the effective methods in year 12 and continuously...

    Help with trig

    I'll give a hint - try sketch the y = sinx graph in that domain and remember to either minus the negative areas (to make it positive) or absolute value negative areas.

    Year 7 school selection

    I didn't go to any of those schools but the school you go to doesn't matter much in my opinion it's about how much effort you put in (plus natural talent plays some part). Also when discussing with some of my friends I found that my school (Parra Marist - catholic school) actually had really...

    Always napping help

    Stop napping because then your body gets used to it and also get more sleep so you don't have to nap. Also don't lie down in bed at all till you have to sleep or you might nap. Also DOWNLOAD ALARMY it's honestly the best app you can't sleep in with it.
