mhmm this is interesting. The degree i want needs a high 99 in most cases so i kind of get where youre coming from. let's get that bread!

this is true! I go to a top 10 school and last year a friend of mine got 97.5+ atar with just band 6'g in Maths X2, Maths X1 and Chemistry, there was also quite a few students with only 9 unit of band 6's (low- mid 90's) who got atars of 98+

For Med: median op/rank to receive offer excluding adjustment factors: 2/97 (OP/RANK) For Dent: median op/rank to receive offer excluding adjustment factors: 4/94 (OP/RANK) - you can find alot more information on the QTAC website - for both courses the highest was 99 - i would be aiming...

yea don't do math at matrix - that would be a mistake. I personally go Du!

Uh i probably don't have the best advice on this as i never really used the textbook for study but our school uses Physics in Focus

It's okay!! It may feel terrible right now and you probably won't be able to use these marks for early entry into uni courses or international universities but other than that year 12 is like a fresh new start.

You need to be able to apply the base knowledge from modules 1, 3 and 4 in the year 12 Physics syllabus directly. The dynamics topic isn't there explicitly but you will need to be able to apply ideas and concepts about force, momentum etc in later physics modules. With Physics alot of the prelim...

Yes, most people ( i would say that around 120/160 if not more at my school) do at least two forms of tutoring. I know at least 70 students attend tutor for 4U math, 3U math and chemistry. Most of the tutoring is from coaching collages. I myself do 4U/3U at dr du and chem and phys at ace/matrix...

Hi! I go to a top 10 selective school and have friends from Sbhs too so thought i could help. We students thrive off the competition. It's what drives you to do better, be better. As for average, its quite literally just an average. There is absolutely no point in comparing yourself to the...

Don't stress! Fortunately prelims is not the end of the world :) For math i would recommend just doing past papers rather than writing notes (personally i don't think notes work for math .. but thats my own experience). Also i'm not sure how much help it would be as by the end of YR 11 i had...

At my school it was compulsory to take English Extension 1 in Year 11 ( so all 150 of us had to take the course). In the first couple weeks i had decided that this was not it and i was going to drop it. The end of year 11 came around quite quickly and i had to decide my HSC subjects. I ended up...

I hope you're feeling a little better, there has been some really wholesome advice on this thread and i urge you to follow them. Luckily, your in year 11 so there is time for you to improve. I agree with the others in saying that if Arabic is taking up a lot of your time and you find yourself...

It is actually very doable!! All you need is to go through your given textbook and they should explain everything pretty well. Its combines quite a few things learnt in previous modules, so other than the spectra stuff quite a bit of it is just revision. Good luck!

Personally i have really enjoyed the 4U course. I quite like maths, so i enjoyed learning about the harder and more complex topics. Not gonna lie though at times it does get really challenging but i am a firm believer in really understanding the concepts behind each formula and topic which has...

Touche. But i go to du for tutoring, the friendship is merely a bonus.

ahahah good job!

I take physics, chemistry, 3U and 4U maths, english adv and extension english 1. My schools rank is top 5 for reference. Our trials have been hard. Like really hard. We kind of expected them to be like that though. Overall, getting results back next week hopefully they go well.

Me! although this is late i have been at Du since year 9. I've always been in A1 so i have had du. The course starts with complex --> integration --> vector --> proof --> mechanics. i love it at du, i have made some really good friends and my marks have all been really good.

hey! I personally cannot relate to your problem. I myself have never transferred to a selective school, i have been going to a top 10 selective school since year 7, and i haven't received a mark below 80 for math since year 8 and i currently take Extension 2 maths. Why i wanted to comment was...

i know alot of people have replied to this thread already but i just wanted to add some thoughts. I am currently a year 12 student at a TOP ranked selective school, i have been here since day 1 in year 7 and it has probably had one of the biggest impacts on my secondary school learning...
