they had checked their paper 4 times before and got bored + they're going to do 4u anyways so it wouldn't matter

@carrotsss do you think 100 trial papers is more than enough for hsc for maff like i'm not bothered to do more

additional edit: i think i need to learn google's apps script which i think is just javascript so i'm fine but AAAA

Quick question just for my general knowledge - How many of ya'll are tutored or used to do tutoring for during senior years?

Majority of the people in my cohort take tutoring (although many deny it) and I think it's the main reason they excel. Although I haven't done tutoring for any senior subjects, I was wondering how many people here, do tutoring and whether it helps...

Bonus Q - Do you tell your peers/friends/teachers about taking tutoring or 'hide' it?

I am currently being tutored in Year 12. I usually don't tell my friends unless they ask first.

yes that’s more than plenty, you’ll find diminishing returns after 10 or so anyway. I definitely didn’t do anywhere near 100

I never did tutoring but I did have a fair few friends who did, it wasn’t exactly a secret though but it didn’t seem to make too much of a difference other than in english

hi

I'm not necessarily aiming for DUX or anything, simply an ATAR above 90, however, my cohort is quite distracted and their is the possibility to top the cohort.

However their is this one guy in my class (in ALL my classes) who is suddenly doing extremley well in Physics, Ancient AND English. He wasn't really any comeptiton before but during the first term of year 12 he started 'impressing' all the teachers an now I feel insecure LOL

Just felt like telling you guys

 

[Cute-Duckie]

That really sucks, but don't get too worked up about it! It's hard to sustain that momentum throughout the whole year, and if he's only suddenly doing well then it's likely he won't be able to keep it up.

With that being said, as easy as it is for me to say, the best thing to do is to not compare yourself to him. Keep doing YOUR best, and the results will always follow.

Ofc feel free to rant about it as much as you want, but don't forget to focus on yourself and your best. At the end of the day your ATAR is just a number that doesn't really feel important for very long when you consider a whole life span.

You may or may not have seen that once before, I had a little rant about this girl in my class who was all of a sudden excelling in Biology and Chemistry which worried the hell out of me. I've gotten results back for both subjects and ended up topping both.

I would say, don't worry about other people and just worry about yourself. A lot of people tend to step up in Year 12 and that's completely normal. The transition from Y11 to Y12 brings a lot of switches in mindsets.

The moment you start concerning yourself with others, the more caught up you get with BEATING THEM, rather than DOING THE BEST YOU CAN. There is a difference between the two. For example, if you just want to beat someone, you'll start being content with achieving marks higher than them which could be like 50/100. Whereas, if you want to do the best you can, you can achieve marks like 90/100.

Don't feel insecure, use it as motivation to prove it to yourself of what you can do!
