I'm answering based on my experience at my high school. Other schools may be different. 1. 5 SRC members are elected in each year from yr 7-10, then in year 11 there are ten members elected. In year 12 there are 12 members elected (including Captain and Vice-captain). 2. At my school the...

Good luck MC24!!! I wish you all the best with getting into a leadership role :D

Also good to know, as far a I'm aware, in Australia SRC isn't completely a popularity contest. From my experience, the SRC stereotypes of a kid: always giving speeches at assembly, in SRC already, and is not a slacker are those that are equally considered, However, popularity (in the sense...

You do absolutely have a chance but you have to be aware you will likely be disadvantaged. Those in your year that are already in the SRC or more well-known by their peers tend to be the ones that are elected. So to compensate you will likely have to make friends with everyone and make people...

Hope its not too late to catch onto the Physics bandwagon! Physics has been a mixed subject for me. In term 1 I only learnt from the teacher in class. I had no idea what was going on and only the tutored kids or self-studiers could answer the questions he asked the class. After being ranked 24...

I'm going to be honest. You can go to whatever school you want no matter the ranking and still do well. But you need to overcome the mental barrier of over confidence that will affect how much hard work you do and how smart you think you are . When I was in Year 7 in QLD I thought I was an...

G'day fellow BoSers! I'm sorry to trouble everyone, especially everyone preparing for their trials, I would really appreciate some advice. I do the preliminary subjects 3u math, 3u english, economics, bus (HSC; accelerated) and physics. That means I'm currently doing 12 units. I've already...

A 98.5 ATAR is amazing!!! I know its been two years since you finished but what do you think helped you most to achieve that?

G'day supR! Yeah I agree with you mate. No matter how painful these final years might feel like I know I'm going to look back missing them. The motivation.The life goals! Even when I will look back on how painful English was :)

G'day goldpants I've been in a similar situation, especially with English. My technique repertoire is quite limited to the simple ones. But what I've learnt is some basic techniques can apply to any and every quote you encounter if you can't find a specific quote. Although I'd use a primary...

G'day hsienerddd345 I perfectly understand your worries about scaling. When I was choosing my subjects I had the same thoughts, especially since I chose a low scaling subject like business studies. I'm going to be completely honest, scaling can influence what ATAR you get. But that doesn't...

Thanks Velocifire!!!

G'day fellow BoSers! Sorry to interrupt everyone busy studying for trials but it would be amazing if anyone could help :) I'm just a little confused by two things: 1) If you complete 4u maths do you still get a mark for advanced? 2) If you do the 4u maths course do you have to do advanced...

G'day mate! What works for me personally is looking at a section of my notes, understanding them and then trying to explain the content to myself (NOT word for word) in the mirror. I feel its more efficient than rewriting notes and it cements the knowledge better by creating connections while...

I agree with idkkdi My process of business studies studying is: Write notes from textbooks under syllabus --> memorise syllabus --> memorise content --> past papers (can include collecting case studies)

Wow thanks SplashJuice. That really sounds like it works for my opponents who just want another thing on their resume. I got to say though, most of the opponents are my friends and I don't think I'll have the guts to do that.

G'day fellow BoSers I go to a school that actually doesn't allow students to campaign to become school captain through posters, banners and traditional campaigning tools. I just need some advice. How do you think I could get people to vote for me without these tools? I understand speeches at...

What works for me is similar to B1andB2. I first look at a small section of my notes and then try to explain the content to myself in the mirror. Once I've been able to well enough, I continue onto the next section. I find this is personally a more efficient use of my time as I find rewriting...

Actually Velocifire I've seen you mention it a couple times but I'm not sure what it is? Out of curiosity mate what happened? Don't worry I can keep a secret ;)

Hahahah love the way you think!!! But yeah I also had a hard time adjusting to Coronavirus schooling. Although it had the reverse effect of me being super productive at home... although at the cost of a lot of my mental and social health (dont mean to sound dramatic :/) Also just realised we...
