I'll admit you aren't in a very good position right now. Not necessarily the low marks from your other subjects - I still believe if you start the hard work now for your next assessments and pull up your ranks, a 90+ ATAR is still in reach. But it's more so the issue with your misadventures; a...

All the UNSW-run accommodation is booked out and there are waitlists (but they've currently paused the applications because there are a lot already and all the spots are full). However, you can still apply to the colleges and apartment accommodation spaces that are run by independent providers...

If you are able to handle the workload, particularly with your other subjects and the major work it should be fine. In that case, especially with your ranks you should be on track for a good ATAR if you keep that effort and time managing skills up. In fact, I have heard from people I know who...

NESA has released their draft syllabi to be put into place after 2025 - right now is their consultation period, where people (teachers) are allowed to give feedback. The HSC Maths, English and History courses all have new drafted syllabi - sciences aren't touched. What do you all think? Link...

Grammar has better teachers. Baulko has the relatively and consistently better cohort, accounting to it being a top 3 selective school (but Grammar's is still very strong). Ultimately I'd pick Grammar for a higher quality education because they're both very academic. But if you're also concerned...

I didn't like Cha Cha Cha, but if I had to decide which had to win - Finland or Sweden, I would have picked Finland. It was creative and wacky in the way Eurovision should be, and singing in one's own native language is always a bonus. I remember watching the UK's performance. As soon as I saw...

None of those have brilliant scaling, but if you're dead set on having the 99.95 combination of 10 units only when you are in Year 12 you don't need to put too much thought about scaling with the remaining other subjects you've listed, since you'll be dropping them anyway. Though you seem like a...

You should definitely try QED Education in Parramatta if you are planning to do group tutoring. They are probably one of the few (alongside Delta and JP) that provide high quality English tutoring. The classes are very small so personalised feedback and attention is definitely what they will be...

https://www.acehsc.net/resource/2020-benedict-college-trial-paper/ (The solutions are available on AceHSC as a separate document, just go to the site and filter for EES). THSC also has papers but they are all of the old syllabus, but I'm sure there would still be questions in them relevant to...

Doesn't Zhang's have a free trial? Book a trial will them and you'll be able to receive some of their materials. Otherwise other Zhang's students might be happy to oblige.

That is only available if the student accelerated Maths Advanced and Extension 1 in Year 11. Otherwise, Extension 2 must be studied in conjunction with Extension 1 with both courses completed with official assessments and HSC examinations (as well as Advanced content being taught). If your...

Matrix Education does structured Holiday Courses that begin next Monday on the 10th. For the Sciences especially, they cover the next module and I believe perform certain pracs during those Courses. I've always thought Sciences were the best courses taught at Matrix. I'm not so sure about the...

Having 500 billion state ranks doesn't necessarily mean the tutoring works for you (though it is a small indicator that they are a trusted company). The smartest people in my cohort went to the most obscure, no-state-ranker centres. I knew a few people who state ranked English without a tutor...

Just because he went to zhangs (chemistry, not physics) doesn’t necessarily mean Zhangs may be good for you. For example, Kevin Wang tied first with Lachlan Harris for chemistry (and he also came first for physics). Lachlan went to Matrix (on Demand) for those subjects.

I don't want to share entirely the full story that SCOM friends have told me in the chance that it may not be completely true, but I was told that Matt wanted a change in SCOM in regards to something, which the other guy didn't want. He left and took the Girraween kids with him.
