    HSC Internal Assessments

    Hey, so I just finished my internal assessments, and I feel like I did pretty bad, maybe averaging 60-70% for most subjects besides Biology, which was 30% weighed maybe 50% or a fail. Can i still achieve the academic comeback? I want an 80 atar or just under.

    Subject selection

    In my school , for subject selection you do an exam and based on your performance in that exam you get subject offers. Not to my surprise, I got the worst possible offers and most probably will end up doing Bio, Legal, Business, Adv/ext eng and Standard math. Initially I wanted to study...

    Should I pick History Extension?

    Hi, I am a Year 11 student currently doing modern history and i am indecisive as to pick up History Extension in Year 12. For some context, i absolutely love history and everything to do with history (including the philosophy) and this passion makes me wanna pick up History Extension. From...

    Should I choose Modern History or CAFS for my year 11 and 12 subjects

    As the title said, I am in a bit of a dilemma as my history teacher believes that I should consider a history subject but I'm way too hesitant on it because I worry it is way too content loaded. I know CAFS scale low but it would not matter if I would be able to rank first or just do well in...

    English Short Answer Section

    What's the best way to prepare for the unseen text short answer section (Paper 1)? Is there a checklist or smth that u can follow to get the marks, and how important is it that i memorise lots of literary/visual techniques? If the skills for doing well in that section come from entirely just...

    Old Proofs to Know

    Helping a Cohort

    Is it worth helping your cohort (pooling resources, helping with questions etc. with everyone in the grade) in the hsc? I understand that a good cohort would make internals a lot less stressful (as a low internal rank would be less demotivating), but helping also would take time and energy...

    HSC Sample Answers

    How far off are the sample answers on the nesa website? If a student responded to a question exactly, or similar to how the sample answer suggests, would they risk losing marks for that question? I heard they provided a low-band 6 response, or a minimum for full marks for any given question but...
