Trimesters are certainly full on but if you can time manage well, you'll be fine. Personally don't love them because you always have things to do, and the short breaks. UNSW certainly has the biggest engineering faculty, but as @carrotsss mentioned above, probably wouldn't make that much of a...

me too- thought it would be gone by now

You just have to be good with time management - and don't take flexi week as a break BC if you don't do any work you will 100% fall behind. Otherwise, it's really not that bad.

You'll be fine

Lucky for you, I tracked all of my marks last year lol. But take it with a grain of salt BC your internal marks don't actually affect your HSC other than the rank within your cohort that they decide. My ATAR was 89.85.

My brother is in Year 11 at the moment and is interested in a degree to do with PDHPE/Sport Science sort of area. I don't think that he would want to go into Education though. Please recommend some degree ideas !

Most important stuff I would say would be genetics/disease. You can always analyse the mapping grid at the end of past marking guidelines as well, I've attached the 2022 one below. Hope this helps ☺️

Surviving off of one week breaks 💪🏻

I second this. My bio teacher is a HSC marker and she says that they mark whatever is on the page (eg like a punnet square on side, observations). Not sure if it the same for English - but they definitely won't take away marks for any wrongly annotated observations - so long as these are...

As someone who did Music 1 - would say that it wouldn't be worth it if you don't have the passion/time. Because you have to do 3 electives (either performance, musicology, composition) + 1 core performance it ends up being a lot of work (particularly if you choose composition/musicology), and of...

This really depends on the quality of your cohort. If you're in James Ruse? Probably not. Just work hard to do better in your following assessments and you'll be fine :)

In extension I think they can separate based off advanced marks and class rank but don't quote me on it

Yeah 100,99,98(if you're very lucky) to state rank in standard.

I hated afternoon exams

Typically in the same week but Monday and Friday last year

Yeah so last year it was 11th October to 3 November. I think your school holidays are like to the 10th tho or smth this year.

Waiting for it to come out but it seems like HSC is starting a week later this year. I didn't have one exam personally in November last year but it seems like this year is starting third week of October to second week of November? **to be fair it's prob just because of school holidays and when...

Physics 💀💀

last year it was 10am I believe.
