It really just depends on the area, if you want same-minded students in a partially selective school then you should stay away from the more Western Sydney areas, because the weird one-sided animosity will be awkward since you'll be so different from each other. I believe I just got unlucky with...

I've lost 1 mark from my essay for not putting a conclusion (because essay structure, y'know), it's largely a matter of quality. At my school you're better off trying to squeeze one in, it's fine as long as it exists and says what it needs to say in as minimal words possible, it doesn't even...

(I only do chemistry, if it matters) I'm sure ZhangsHSC is a really good tutoring centre (considering the prices and its success rate at producing high marks), it's just a matter of how high you're trying to aim and how much money you're willing to shell out. I go to Proed and I think it's a...

Just adding my 2-cents as a student at a partially-selective school (unfortunately), if I could turn back time I would've never let my mother pressure me into going to a closer partially-selective school. Not sure how it is for others, but here the student cohort is unbearably and freakishly...

It just depends on how well you can work under pressure. For me, I struggle a lot under pressure so I prepare paragraphs just in case. I recommend focusing on memorising TEE tables first and foremost though, and maybe preparing paragraphs in advance as practice/a guideline for when you're doing...

My Japanese continuers exam was 3 hours TT not enjoyable

Personally I just sit down with the textbook and start taking notes, or I start watching a lot of videos on the topic if I can't digest it through text at that moment

Once you realise there's a world outside of the ATAR HSC "Here's how to get 99.95 ..." study grind etc etc chamber, you'll come to terms with your ATAR. There's a billion different pathways you can go on, the tiny box that is high school is nothing in comparison to it. You should take your guilt...

I'm in the exact same boat, I put my all into my previous assessments for every subject but for prelims I completely gave up TT Thankfully the grade-drop won't be significant (Aside from maybe English, I'm probably dropping to a B) but it's still a disappointing way of ending yr11 But to be...

I totally bombed my Eng prelims, didn't even finish my second essay TT I'll make sure to lock in for yr12

That’s true, but applications are due November and there are limited spots TT

I've never really had to try for exams and I'm in a bit of a rush this morning so I don't have many tips off the top of my head but I'll try!! - Pronunciation will save you, trust me! I've had classmates lose marks en-masse because they weren't speaking naturally enough/their pronunciation was...

Thanks for the insight!! I appreciate it! You’re probably right, I got extremely lucky with my other classes, so biology class was a let down, but I guess we can’t have everything TT Unfortunately due to my brain wiring mishaps, class environment/teacher can be the difference between me...

I'm thinking of picking up Japanese Extension in Yr12 via distance education, which means I'd only be allowed to do 11 units. I'm thinking of dropping either Biology or Visual Arts, but it's tough TT I'm greedy so I'm aiming for a 99.95 ATAR, which is why I'm fumbling around with this decision...

Yea! I'm excited ^^! I've always loved Your Name so I'm glad it'll be a film I like! I was honestly soo surprised that it would be such a popular film! I hope you enjoy your film too!

I'm planning on doing Japanese Extension through the NSW School of Languages (since it's not available at my high school), but I'm just wondering what it's like studying with them? How does it work? Is it worth it? How do internal rankings work? Sorta nervous TT I haven't submitted my...
