Quite good - finished all notes and nearly finished revising - hopefully will finish by the end of the week. Then planning to do tonnes of past papers next week. Been doing 6hrs everyday. Honestly just can't wait til they're over.

Everyone says to start doing practice papers. Make sure you're absolutely confident with all the content before you do this! There is no point testing yourself when you don't know everything. Once you know everything that's going to be examined, then do heaps of practice papers so that you can...

Yes, burning out may seem a myth to people who haven't actually burnt out. A very close friend of mine burnt out. And it wasn't because she was lazy; she is one of the most motivated people I know. She ended up getting 99+ and worked ridiculously hard all year and burnt out after the trials. And...

Quite pumped! I need 97 and I'm doing well but there's always room for improvement! But yeah some days I'm very burned out and unmotivated. Whenever I do, I just remind myself of the course I need to get in and I feel better :)

Ranks: Maths Ext. 7/16 Maths: 8/25 English advanced: 9/79 Geography: 1/10 Chemistry: 3/9 Biology: 2/30 School rank: around 40 What ranks should I be getting if I want to get 97?

Just wondering what your thoughts are on the double degree, bachelor of environment with bachelor of law at Macquarie University. I'm extremely passionate about climate change and was considering doing advanced science and major in climate science at UNSW, but wanted something more practical. It...

I've just finished my halfyearlies which was emotionally draining. I'm going to have a break because I deserve it - I worked so hard and have received some of my results - Really happy with most of my marks! So for now Im going to relax and then do heaps of maths - need to catch up on inverse...

Just know I want to do science in some form. I'm very passionate about the environment, climate change and renewable energy, so one option is studying renewable energy/photovoltaic engineering at UNSW. Any suggestions for other environmental/science courses? Not really sure yet but otherwise...

Obviously it's not best to rely completely on a formula sheet but making summaries of each topic is a good idea. If you're unsure about a particular section or have forgotten how to approach a type of question, you can easily re-familiarise yourself with the content required. I have summaries...

Wow we do things differently at my school; we've finished search for better health and up to outcome 1 of blueprint of life

Wow thank you! This is awesome :) This will help so much!!

Just a simple question I don't know how to do. Please explain: The annual population of a country is increasing at a rate of 6.9%, that is, dP/dt = 0.069P. If the population is 50,000 in 2015, find a) a formula for the population growth b) the rate at which the population will be growing in...

I already know 3 and I've just realised my fourth isn't that good. Should I get a fourth? If so, I'd be interested in a short story/picture book. Any suggestions?

Just try to do the subjects you hate the most first - in small doses with lots of breaks. Then reward yourself by doing a bit for a subject you like. Works for me

Do not choose a subject for how well it scales! If you don't like it, then you'll probably do worse than you would with a subject you enjoy. I chose all my subjects based upon how much I enjoy them; maths extension, biology, chemistry and geography. If you like a subject, you'll make much more...

I do geography, which used to be my favourite, but now I love science more. I do biology and chemistry; both of which I love. Biology is content heavy, but you can achieve awesome results if you know it all. I like it because the unit outcomes are so clear, so if you study all of them, you can...

I just always waste time on the internet etc; it's a massive distraction and source of procrastination for me.

Just wondering if any of you guys find it productive going to the library after school to do homework/study and whether it's effective use of time. Thanks

I can't agree more with your statement about quality over quantity. Studying the whole day but not actually taking in the stuff you're studying is a waste of time. Working consistently across all your subjects is all you need to do. I know it's easy just not to study the subjects you hate (I...

Favourite: Chem & maths Least: English. I do not understand how people like it - even when they explain why. I just can't.
