I'M GONNA PLAY SO MANY VIDEO GAMES

my mum barely lets me play games so i jst turn my hotspot on (at school) and play games

 

[Tatya]

Predictions for all subjects (band 6 cutoffs):
81 for physics
87 for maths standard
82 for Biology
91 for English standard
83 for legal studies.

I reckon physics will be like 78 or something it was harder than last years and previous years but it’s not gonna have the crazy alginement as 2019
Chem seems like an 85

Hi Year 12 2025, I hope you all are having a nice break and wish you all the best for your results. I just have some questions I want to ask.
If you could start studying for any of your year 11 subjects in the holidays before year 11, how would you do so and how would you prepare?
I am really confused on how to start studying for these subjects. How should I examine the syllabus before I study and how do I begin on studying them?

If you do any history subjects, I would probably start looking at the general outline of the history in each section (better yet only the mods you are doing if you are already aware), that way you will have an idea of the most important components when actually going into the lessons. Similar to other comments, read your English texts if you already know which ones you are studying. Research how to analyse poetry. And definitely revise yr 10 content for any stem subjects.

 

[qweeosh]

However, I am confused when you mean brush up on my English and read texts. I am not a good english student I usually average around 16/20. What texts or resources would you recommend for me so I can improve my english score>

Maybe read some classics over the holiday? Taking notes on the techniques and any analysis you make of it? That should improve your unseen text analysis since it would become part of a habit when reading texts.

Guys what extra curriculars should I do to get into maq early entry

I thought the grades matter more, I think they do and it depends on how competitive the course is but I can't be too sure. We literally all had such similar extracurriculars. In my school, lots of ppl who got ALL Bs and As didnt get accepted for law - but mind you, the Bs were like in English, some in legal etc so idk in my school an A is only 90+. However some people that failed chemistry and maths got into engineering... and they all had very similar extracurriculars... All of our extracurriculars included things such as school leadership team, faith related leadership positions, volunteering outside of school, sports stuff etc.

yeah I just to do more volunteering stuff cause I don't have any of that stuff

 

[hellokitty48920]

But how tho for maq early leaders and achievers? Cause don’t they have to call referees for ur 2 activities. I want to do commerce

do y have any volunteering or leadership positions at school? I literally had one for wellbeing leader and we did absolutely nothing... Theres also peer support?? Idk if ur religious but for me I had volunteering as a youth teacher for children's bible studies at my local church.

 

[hellokitty48920]

yes thats fine. lol or u could even just add the word leader to it we all did 'Peer Support Leader'

I mean there's small volunteering stuff like selling Christmas cards which I did last week. But leadership positions are already full and I didn't get any. But there are some stuff I can do at my church like this charity thingy they have and also they have Sunday school but these kids are chaotic and I don't want to deal with my brother lol

I did peer support in year 10 tho. But I'm applying some jobs and vinnies so hopefully I'll get something

yes definitely do the charity thing and just get a leadership/volunteering appropriate title for the christmas cards one. Im pretty sure you only need like 2-3 extracurriculars. I'm sure some other roles in ur school could come up early next year, if they do make sure to join them. Make sure you have good teachers if its a school role that are gonna actually check their emails/phone calls as ur references...
And dont even worry if you dont get in. There is ALWAYS the Schools Recommendation Scheme. Just ask whoever in ur school is responsible for it to actually do it for u

honestly I didn't even do that much for the chrstimas card one cause not many people came so they dismissed me cause they didn't need me. But for SRS, I don't know if my grades are good enough and the leaders and achievers one is the easiest to get into I think as long as I have extra curricular

nope I didnt get in leaders & achievers even tho my grades were all As and Bs but I got in through SRS! Also, correct me if Im wrong, but I think leaders & achievers scheme gives a scholarship/money to the student?

oh wow really. I thought lots of people get into leaders and achievers. I'm applying for commerce tho. Maybe it's cause most competitive spots were filled in leaders and achievers so then SRS was less competitive or vice versa
