    URGENT!!! Subject Selection HELP!!!

    I'd probably stick to 3U Math, due to its high scaling (scaling does matter and you will see how it does when you get your ATAR back at the end of this year). Biology is a good subject for Medicine, but I'd probably just do a bridging course for Biology if you really needed it. Honestly, I...

    Thread regarding the 2010 HSC exams.

    I'd say they would have it up by the time Term 1 finishes, so around March. The DET is probably on holiday atm.

    handwriting or typing notes?

    I'd type the notes, for the sake of saving time, really. I wouldn't waste an extra few hours by handwriting everything. During my HSC, I both handwrote and typed my notes and looking back on it, I wish I'd saved more time by typing everything. I found that in content-thriving subjects like...

    10 units vs 12 units

    Some people take the risk to do their HSC with 10 units, which basically means you have to make sure you score very well in all them and not screw up. The advantage to this is that you won't spend an extra 3 hours a week studying for an extra subject and you would have more time to focus and...

    Will Standard English prevent me getting a high ATAR?

    Standard English won't prevent you from getting a high ATAR. However, this is on condition that you keep a very high rank (No less than top 3, preferably) and attain a Band 6 in your English exam. When you think about it, the majority of students who do Standard English aren't really good at...

    Can someone please explain very carefully and not too long.

    Consistent studying should start ASAP, haha. I guess, the logic here is that the more you procrastinate about studying, the harder it is to fully get back into it. It's also an advantage to start studying consistently now, as you could probably bet that many of your peers probably haven't even...

    Be warned!

    Yeah honestly Chromatic, you did whatever floated your boat. Everybody's study routine and pattern is different, so let the students choose whatever routine suits them. My recommendation (which has also proven to have worked sucessfully with many, many other students) for a study routine is...

    Can someone please explain very carefully and not too long.

    Anyway, answering the thread's question. Moderation of Marks - 1. The person who came first in the External Exam will take the External Mark of the person who came first in the Internal Assessment. 2. The person who came last in the External Exam will SOMETIMES take the External Mark of the...

    I dont get UNSW's HSC Plus?

    You can't get HSC Plus bonus points for Law @ UNSW, because it's not included in the HSC Plus program. Law @ UNSW is a Cominbed Law Degree, which means you have to combine it with something like Arts, Commerce, Science etc. If you want to do Law @ UNSW, you'll either have to reach the 99.55...

    UNSW Coop Program-need advice!

    Just another question - I'm filling in the application for the 2011 Coop Program right now and it says I have to fill in my year 11 results. Problem is, my year 11 results were pretty bad hahah, compared to what they are now (most of my subjects are in the 90s for HSC) So, are they going to...

    Study patterns

    Yeah, that's basically what I'm doing. Reading over notes I've made in class, revising stuff etc. Consistency is the key, I've heard =D

    Good subjects?

    I was just wondering if the subjects I'm doing right now will offer me a good ATAR (somewhere in the mid 90s). There's 14 units atm and I also need advice on whether to keep 12 units, or stick to 10 units completely - English Advanced - English Ext. 1 - Maths 2U - Maths Ext. 1 - Biology -...
