Hey guys! HSC Speaking Orals are happening in a few months so good luck all! What are some good ways to improve speaking and how are you guys all practicing/revising before HSC? Thanks!

Personally, I think it comes down to why you're choosing those subjects. If you really like Sciences and enjoy the way/method/tedious nature of studying those subjects then it's fine but if you're picking it for the scaling or because it's 'beneficial' for uni courses/med then I think you should...

Just a thought but what is the average salary/income in Sydney? Just read a thread on Reddit about 'being poor' and wondering what degrees have wider employment opportunities in the future. Thanks!

Hi, Since Easter holidays ended, I've been napping for 2 hours most days after school from 5-7pm and sometimes I don't wake up at all - not until 6:30am when I have to get up for school. This is starting to have a big impact on me since I can't stay awake during those times and I've tried...

Currently 1st in English advanced from half yearlies after a horrible mark from AT1 that would've placed me in the 70s. A lot of people are climbing in Maths but it is also possible to climb the English ladder with effort!

Do Advanced English state rankers basically lose no marks in Internals? A good friend of mine has a lot of potential but lost quite a few marks in Assessment Task 1 and wonders if she can recover from it, seeing how she did extremely well in Half Yearlies. Thankyou!

Hi, I take both Maths Extension 1 and English Extension 1 but I am doing poorly (below average) in MX1 so I'm planning to drop it. However, I am also only receiving average for EX1. I told my mate about this and they said that the high scaling for MX1 will balance things out. Although I am...

Personally here are the ways that work for me: Pick related materials that click with you, there isn't a point choosing a related that you're not willing to read/watch and study and it'll improve your life by a mile My personal favourite is reading high B6 essays or exemplars and use their...

Hi! Does anyone have any recommendations for any long, meaty discovery poems? Thank you!

I go to a mid-range selective school where kids usually have around 2 tutors (English and Maths) but you wouldn't call them rich. Just well-off - and even the kids who have 3-4 tutors (Sciences/4u maths etc) still wouldn't regard themselves as rich - just well-off. But the kids who do go...

Wow thank you guys! I didn't expect to have this many replies :)

Hey! Just a general question, but what are some popular part time jobs that Uni students tend to have? Or like a specific area such as retail/hospitality. Also, I'm a Y12 thinking of doing some volunteering on the weekends or after school (to take my mind off studying 24/7) what are some...

For holidays, I prefer to study in the day from 12 - 6pm Enjoy your time off from then onwards to avoid burning out. It's good to pre-write/learn content for sciences and do textbook chapters for maths from a textbook other than your school one. I'm always almost behind so holidays are more...

I attend a low ranking selective school, but I don't think the assessments are difficult in comparison to others.

Is it still possible to get a low band 6 for 2u Maths if I got 84% for both AT1 and Half Yearlies Weightings: AT1: 15% AT2: 30% AT3: 15% Trials: 40% What is the minimum I have to score for both AT3 and Trials to secure a low B6 for 2uMAths?

Content is important for maths. Same goes towards Sciences, especially the foundations. It's a good opportunity to learn your study habits - personally, I found Y11 to be the year where all the quiet kids who study hard seem to top. Now that they're doing subjects they're good at/have interest...

Alot of students at my school (for sciences/heavy content subjects) tend to print out 5-8 marker hsc questions and do them and then submit it to their teachers to mark. I think this is a really good way to solidify your responses and you also get proper feedback from teachers. If your teachers...

C Cheers buddy this really made me feel better !!

Hi, so it turns out I didn't do well for my Half Yearlies at all. At all. Is it still possible to do well for HSC? Like getting over 96 ATAR? I have only one subject that should be able to carry my overall ATAR but the rest are looking very grim (Especially 2u/3u maths) Thank you :(

I have the Fitzpatrick NEW SENIOR 2u Mathematics textbook. Is it any different from the Fitzpat you guys are talking about? Also my school uses the MiF and I get absolutely shat on by friends who use Cambridge in other schools and I completely see where they're coming from after borrowing their...
