It might be a bit too late now, but: 1. Past HSC papers (even if what you are writing it terrible). I tend to notice that I write a lot faster in exam conditions. If I am at home writing a practice essay I may only get 3-4 pages, whereas the same essay in an exam I might get 5-7 pages...

Sometimes aiming for a high ATAR is a bad idea. Most who get really high ATARs are either naturally smart, are doing random subjects (that doesn't scale thousands of students like English or maths does) or they have no social life and study their year 12 life away. I am sitting the HSC next week...

Hello! So normally for exams, about a week or 2 in advance, I always feel stressed and anxious. I will usually use this to help motivate me and stay focused. But next week, the first HSC exam is starting and I don't feel either of those things. I feel eerily calm and actually kinda confident. I...

So I have trials for standard maths coming up soon, and I am wondering, beside the given formula sheet, what formulas should I memorize?

In class/study I go through past HSC sample questions and the way Band 6 students write and annotate things so quickly is just beyond me. Every time I look at them I just think that there is no way I can write such a detailed, well-thought response when I am in a time limit and with no research...

Hello! I am currently doing my Individual Research project for CAFS and I need some help on what I should be writing. What should I include when writing up an interview I had with a psychologist? What are some things I definitely should include that will get me more marks? Also, if anyone has...

Do exercise a few times a week (but exercise that gets your body moving a lot and gets you puffed), eat unhealthy foods in moderation, treat yourself after completing tasks, hang out with friends in moderation, spend at least 30 minutes a day for yourself (baths, watch a movie, hobby ect.)

I don't do chem or economics but I would suggest telling your teachers how you are feeling and that you genuinely want to do better and to try. Also look at your schedule and see what could be taking meaningless time away from you doing better in school. Practice past essay and HSC questions and...

I just decided to drop Drama, which was a subject I really enjoyed and was getting good marks in (Band 5). Ultimately, it came down to my mental health. I was doing 2 major projects and was not taking care of my other subjects, so my grades started to decrease. I decided that even though I love...

Hello! I need some HSC students (year 12 students currently finishing their final HSC year) to fill out my questionnaire for my Community and Family Studies IRP. If you are interested in filling it out, you must be in a public or private school, in NSW, and in either a rural and city area. I am...
