    I’ve heard that if a class has less than 8 people, rankings don’t matter.

    The reason your teacher has got this in her head is that when schools receive the hsc data reports nesa only sends one of the mark distribution graphs if the relevant subject cohort has greater than a certain amount of people. I thought it was 5 but might be 8. But no, alignment and moderation...

    ATAR estimation please 🙏

    I should preface by saying I went to a rank 500 school so I have a good idea about the grade inflation they normally give from observing my year and the previous ones. English -> this is a dark horse because its so subjective and most teachers have 0 sense on how to mark it properly, but...

    Extremely Concerned About My ATAR - Alternative Pathways?

    Early entry applications are still open, apply. You're free cash to them, they'll accept you even if your marks arent great.

    can i still get 90+ atar?

    Realistically no. If you lock in for trials and do amazing and then killed HSC its possible but I wouldn't set your expectations that high. Best of luck in trials.

    2026 HSC CHAT

    You've quite clearly got to take what I'm saying with a grain of salt considering I did something incredibly close to Asian 5 and still did physics in year 11 -> the only reason I didn't do unmodified A5 in year 12 is the only physics teacher went on maternity leave 🤷‍♂️. The key take away from...

    AFFORDABLE MATHEMATICS & BUSINESS STUDIES TUTORING | 98.60 ATAR | 98 Advanced Math | 95 Business Studies | 94 MX1 | 93 MX2

    Absolute rubbish. His prices are fine for someone with his marks. I wouldnt wipe my ass with $30/h 🤷‍♂️ may as well work at coles at that point

    Which school's exams are the best to practice on?

    standard maths doesnt have many good papers around at all because hardly any selective schools offer the course at all. Independent and CSSA (which you've already done) were your best bet, maybe Knox/Barker? Or old syllabus HSC papers and just skip what you dont cover.

    2026 HSC CHAT

    It specifically needs to be 4u, 3u, engadv, chem and phys for it to be called Asian 5, since the whole point of giving it the name to begin with was to save time since half of all selective school students are doing those exact 5. If you were doing chem & bio you'd normally say "I'm doing A5 but...

    should i drop maths?

    https://www.sydney.edu.au/handbooks/medicine_health/coursework/oral_health/oral_health_tables.html Heres your course handbook. Looks like theres no first year maths and the learning descriptions on the semester 1 courses dont seem to include anything analytical so i wouldn't worry too much about...

    is ext 2 maths really worth it

    this reeks of cope. if youre capable of doing 3u, youre capable of doing 4u and the benefit will help you. you dont need to get an e4 for the scaling to be better than advanced, you only need like a 75 hsc mark or like 49 raw is going to be good enough to outdo adv for the most part. If youre...

    is ext 2 maths really worth it

    40% of the state gets e4 in 4u and the majority of the rest get an e3 that will correlate to a >90 atar contribution. I had no tutoring, went to a rank 550 school, and had a 4u teacher who hadn't taught the course this syllabus and had me teach it to him, and even still I self learnt all of 4u...

    is ext 2 maths really worth it

    My higher english advanced mark makes my opinions on mathematics courses far more valuable, use your brain

    sooo confused about my subjects help me ong

    yeah this is real

    is ext 2 maths really worth it

    your opinion would be valid, however my atar is higher than yours

    sooo confused about my subjects help me ong

    Subjects look good. Leaves the path open for 4u, Eco, Enterprise, Eng Adv in HSC which is a great lineup that would make 99+ attainable. the idea of a vet subject for leisure in yr 11 is fine and business studies is also a nice bludge. If youre super unsure, why not a science? They're not nearly...

    is ext 2 maths really worth it

    this is rubbish. a failing mark in ext 2 can be better than a band 6 in advanced. 49 raw went to like 97 atar contribution

    unsw or usyd??

    if you want to do medicine you get what you get and you dont get upset.

    unsw or usyd??

    opposite: qs has usyd at 18 and unsw at 19. also uni rankings are scams. The only category on QS world rankings that usyd beats unsw at is sustainability (i dont see how solar panels change a unis ability to teach) and prestige. How on earth do you determine prestige without the ranks first...

    subject selection 2024 (hsc 2026)

    If you want 98+ these are relatively rubbish options. 85% of students who receive >99 did ext 2 maths and like 70% of 99.95s did the exact same units of 4u, chem, phys, engadv. Despite what the BOS hegemony puts forward, scaling is everything when it comes to ATARmaxxing
