    how many hours of sleep to function?

    They say 8 hours is good to retain all info but I know alot of people just sleep for 6/7 on school nights. Alot go for 4-5 hours for the weeks leading up to exams, but always 8hrs+ during exams.

    Productivity when studying

    For subjects that don't require me to think too deeply (like maths/chem) I tend to have a song playlist that runs for 40 mins. After the 40 mins, I take a 10 minute break and then choose another playlist that runs for 40 minutes. You could always use the same method instead of using music to...

    McDuff English College?

    Not 100% sure but I know a friend who goes there and have heard a bunch of rumors about McDuff. Basically the tutors tend to write majority of your essay hence why the hefty price. I could be wrong but my friend pays $2k a term and there's no guarantee you'll get a Band6 or do majorly well. My...

    1st in Internals/1st in Externals

    Hey, I'm not 100% on how the HSC and scaling works but just to clarify: If you come first in internals and happen to come also first in HSC, but you have classmates who are scoring around 50~60% on exams, will it affect your final mark? I've heard people say that you 'get' your own mark if...

    Good pens for exams

    Pilot Juice 0.5 for the people who like gel ink pens with a bit of friction. I find jetstreams a bit too smooth for me and I can't seem to keep up with the speed so I tend to find gel ink pens that are a little less smooth Also for people who like using the standard Muji 0.38 with the clear...

    Are videos a good way to study?

    Some people are auditory learners so listening to somebody explain/speak it out for them allows them to properly retain information rather than reading it off paper. Do what you think helps you, it doesn't matter if no one else does it that way! :)

    Getting by 3u Maths without tutoring

    GG my school uses MiF but I tend to just cover more questions with Cambridge since MiF doesn't help with Extension at all. Thank you for your advice though!

    Getting by 3u Maths without tutoring

    Hey! Recently I quit my tutoring centre for Extension 1 Maths and switched to a private tutor to cater to my own pace. However, I feel as though I don't get nearly enough questions for homework and I only seem to do textbook work. (From Cambridge) For people who have achieved a high E3 or...

    Is USYD nursing worth doing?

    I see thankyou! It's just i think TAFE also offers a nursing course so I'm wondering what's the difference between a nurse from TAFE and a nurse from University. Is there really a distinction between the two?

    Dropping ext maths?

    Do at least one exam and see how you are at. Also if you do end up keeping it, make sure you have a positive mindset instead of thinking 'wow I should've dropped you when I had the chance'. From experience, this will inhibit you from doing well or at least being satisfied with the subject.

    Is USYD nursing worth doing?

    Hey Interested in USYD advanced nursing but having second thoughts on the 84 cut-off ATAR. Can someone explain as to why the cut-off is significantly lower than I had imagined even though they have exhausting shift hours? Thank you! If anyone knows, what paths/areas can i pursue with this...

    Subject help!!

    Advanced English for sure Are you sure you want to go to school everyday and look forward to doing 3 sciences every time bc I know I wanted some variation at some point. I'd opt for Economics but don't forget that it can get tough at times and it isn't something you can cruise through.

Can you guys name some flexible uni courses or those with high employment rates? There isn't anything specific I want to do (Just want to...

    State Ranks and Internal Ranks

    Hey! With the 2017 results coming out and the State ranks being released, I was just curious about the correlation between internal ranks and state ranks. Sorry if that is a bit confusing but what I mean is, is it possible to achieve a State Rank without being first in Internals? It's a bit...

    Hey, so my friend is currently enrolled in a TVET course that does NOT count towards ATAR but counts towards HSC and our careers advisor isn't available right now.

    Open High Scaling

    Hey guys, I may be doing an Extension Language via Open High/NSW School of Languages this term for Y12 and I was wondering how is the scaling for it. I understand that scaling doesn't matter as long as I enjoy the subject but I'm still a little worried. Does anyone know anything about that...
