I finished my HSC in 2013 with an ATAR of 99.25. Unlike many of my peers at USyd Law, who did the "Asian Five", I didn't do any maths or science. I scored All-Rounders and achieved my ATAR with entirely humanities (essay-focused) subjects. Ever since, I've been teaching people how to ace the...

1: 17-18/20 (depending on that tariff question lmao) 2: 38-40/40 - Generally no problems. Pretty simple stuff 3: 17-18/20 - Exchange rates was generally ok. Could have had better analysis but ah well 4: 16-17/20 -> analysis wasn't too deep tbh. only had 40 mins on this essay Around a 90...

will they mark your response if you go past the "end of question" and write all the way to the bottom of the page? i've always done this at school but just to clarify for the hsc. cheers

I know this has been asked times and again but I seriously need some clarity for upcoming exams (mental maze going on here) So today for PDHPE I pretty much wrote in an extra booklet for every single short answer in the exam (to cover my bases and answer the question). Please don't turn this...

I definitely smashed module C and was on point with the question. Buuut... I still don't see myself getting more than 17 by virtue of the fact that my essay was only 5 pages (around 750-800 words). Quantity vs quality? I feel like quality is key but realistically you can't be tapping into...

I've heard conflicting perspectives on this one! Some teachers recommend more analysis of the poetry/ biography of the Hughes/ Plath saga (in this case using RM related to Hughes) and others recommend more focus on the module/ developing ideas about 'conflicting perspectives'. (text is...

Do any teachers from your school change internal marks to lower the gaps? If so, what are the potential negatives of this? I'd assume if most teachers knew about how moderating works, they'd lower the gaps between first and last so that the marks are 100-99-98-97, etc. Is this dangerous...

share your experience with what atar you've seen/ gotten with humanities/artsy/ highly subjective essayish subjects (proportionally, assuming students are reasonably good students) I.e. with a subject combination like this: EE2, modern, business, pdhpe, economics How hard, relatively...

1-2 in detail or various unrelated case studies for each dotpoint (that's how the textbook structures it)? If 1-2 in detail what are some case studies with lots of info geared to the syllabus apart from the stock standard Qantas and Harvey Norman? :wavey:

I'm of the understanding that every single band 6 or state ranking economics student went into detail during essays in terms of events/ issues beyond the syllabus This thread: List all the issues/ potential areas you can explore/ are relevant to today's global environment ... I also think a...

anyone compiled/ know the up to date stats for core 1?

If you have a keen passion for economics are you likely to be putting your TRUE skills to the test/ being genuinely stimulated by your work, or will you find yourself under-utilised in terms of the capacity you do have? I've read there's a real culture of underachievement in the corporate world...

I'm in yr 12 atm and wish to study medicine - however in the case that I don't get in, and I wish to re-sit the UMAT next year and re-apply, what do you think of taking a gap year? Or entering an easy degree so as to maximise umat prep all year long... thoughts?

Where does usyd arts lay politically? Is the uni, or more importantly, the content of the lectures (and the professors/lecturers themselves) primarily based around a leftist oriented bias? I ask this because over the past two days I've attended a series of lectures and all I can notice in...

You have 50 minutes to write out a pre-planned essay that you've already been given the question for. You memorize the essay back to front. how much can you write?
