93.5 atar

Seven Marker on Solvay Process.

Practise answering past exam questions without looking at notes to remember the specific formulas used. Repeat the question again or do a different question using the same method to memorise the formula. Then do full practice exam papers to practice your exam time management. :headbang:

Dropping from English Advanced to Standard English is a very bad idea because of the poor scaling. :spzz:

90-95 atar

You can do it!! Just focus on demolishing the actual HSC exams to bring up your school marks!! ;)

If you do high scaling subjects and perform reasonably well in them, you should be able to get an ATAR of 85+ pretty easily.

If you get into medicine, I think Medentry should be worth it. However if you don't make it, like at least 90 percent of the people sitting UMAT, it's definately not worth it. Since the cost of the Medentry course + actual UMAT fees comes close to 1000 dollars. :hammer:

I think the time constraints and page expectations in HSC English really force students to memorise and regurgitate generic prepared essays. That's why I am of the opinion that the HSC English Exam is really a memory and speed writing test. :hammer:

I definitely recommend handwriting when you are doing practice papers. I think typing is more useful when you are creating study notes. Maybe typing essays when doing english past papers might be helpful since it doesn't tire your writing hand as much. I think this can be a great help in the...

I don't think your chance of getting a 90+ ATAR will end if you do badly in your half-yearly exams. You can still make a comeback in the trials and actual HSC.

Re: Post-grad students, how many units did you do and would you have changed anything I did 12 units for the HSC last year. I regret not dropping English Advanced. Luckily my marks in English Extension 1 helped to partially offset my poor results in English Advanced. :wavey:

LOL just tank the English advanced Course and ace English Extension 1 and 2. You can still get a good ATAR and all-rounders too. :drink:

I definitely recommend having backup units for subjects like English Advanced. :wavey:
