    When do you start hard out studying?

    When did you guys/do you guys start the 'hard out', dedicated studying, memorising the syllabus, the past exam papers, etc? We have around 7 weeks left, and I've just been doing continuous maths, but I feel as if I'm neglecting English, since I screwed up both Math and English in the CSSA, but...

    UNSW FEAS Scheme

    What do you guys think about this scheme? I've heard people with 79s - 85s getting in, which is quite a relief since I'm looking at an ATAR of 83-86 + 5 extra points + 1 extra for Band 5 in Physics. So I'm probably getting 89/90 (FEAS) or higher which would grant me automatic entry. What do...

    Do your HSC exams actually matter?

    Say you're above average in all your subjects, and your ranks are in the top 10 in all subjects, does your HSC actually matter - As in, say you're achieving 80% averages, yet in the HSC you score 95. Won't you end up just getting 80% in the end, or does that 80% move up to 88 or something, and...

    Dreading these 3 weeks and the trials

    I'm dreading the trials. Last year I failed numerous subjects, and my ranks were atrocious. This year, I pulled up my socks, studied my ass off and pushed myself into the top 10 for all my subjects and ensured I'm above average for everything. All my subjects I've now pulled above 80% averages...

Since the students who received...
