Anyone got 99+ without tutoring?

[sickk]

well, if youve got nothing for your resume there a good space filler

[hairspray]

I got 99.85, no tutoring.

Congrats on that ATAR. Although I find it a little ironic how you had no tutoring and now you wanna tutor people so they can possibly achieve a high ATAR =/

[elmoateme]

What did you get in Maths and English mate?

Im assuming you were asking me. I got 98 in maths and 91 in english. Extremely happy with band 6 for english.
And to make this post slightly on topic, I didn't get tutoring for either of them.

Hey are the awards that you've won in school important or anything? Because I just throw all of mine away because they're just fancy certificates and I have nowhere to keep them.

all i mean is that i have never been seen as an academically gifted student in the past. Good luck to you and our mountain of certifcates.

Haha, a white guy from SBHS got 99.95 ATAR without tutoring lol

[Uncle]

i am glad there are genuinely superior students who are still out there that achieved very high results without tutoring.

fucking lol.

I had tutoring for maths and look at my mark for it, it was my worst .

Tutoring = waste of time slash money

[ehtefaz.hedayet]

i only use my tutors for my own desirable pleasures that's my only reason

:rofl:

[macca91]

The top 3 from my school were 99.9, 99.5, 99.2 and none of them had tutoring.

haha this site is such a vent for arrogance. hence my username which is a bit of a pisstake. but yeah i promised myself from next week i am never going on here again and never mentioning the hsc again.

[maggiecai]

well,i got 99+ without any tutoring...

[Blobulator]

99.50 without tutoring.... Figured I sucked at maths so I just dropped it and depended on the other ten units, using the extra time on subjects I was already good at. Worked far better than trying to get a mediocre result in something I'd never be too good at and wasting time to do so.

It really isn't needed that much.

[5qirtl3]

i suppose for some people it is unlikely to get 99+ without tutoring.

[ajaxandacme]

99.9 without tutoring.

Annoying because selective school, lots of people get tutoring. The people who got 99.95 had massive tutoring. I mean, one person had tutoring since year 1 and did the HSC courses through tutoring in year 11. If I did a little better in exams, I could've been the exception. Oh well.

this! i am a selective school student too, and I can honestly say that at least 95% of my year group gets tutoring for at least one subject. they'll always say, 'oh I have tutoring hw' or 'oh nah can't come coz I have tutoring'. it's really frustrating and annoying, definitely. I'm someone who has never had tutoring before, and I pretty much have work my butt off and understand concepts without turning to other external people for help etc. - and that does cost me time. but I've always said I will never get a tutor, I just don't believe in them. I'd rather put in that little bit of extra on my own.

congratulations to all those people out there who have achieved amazing atars without tutoring for any subjects! that is just amazing and fantastic! I'm sure it feels great.

[wendybird]

No tutoring for me.

Wouldn't have worked for my subjects anyway.

I know quite a few 99.90/5ers who DIDN'T have tutoring, so its definitely possible.

I think if you do the subjects you love, put in enough work into them for it to be a real passion - natural talent will win out.

[pc1992]

no tutoring for me either

p.s. wendybird nice work on getting .95 without maths

[GUSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

Nah, more like 50-60% . A lot of people don't get tutoring :|.

[swathard]

Nah, more like 50-60% . A lot of people don't get tutoring :|.

lolll 50-60% is being soo generous! seriously, lol, people lie about it and say they don't get tutoring, but then in another conversation, someone brings up tutoring and somehow you find out that the person who said they dont get tutoring actually goes to the same college as someone else! so yeah.

it is a growing market though. A LOT do get it. it used to be only for maths, now it's maths and english and sciences and other subjects too! it's quite ridiculous.

but yeah. i'm personally against it.
