I went pretty well. Graduated last year with a 98 ATAR and band 6s in my sciences and maths. My English just never reached that band 6 level lol. After year 11, I dropped English extension. I was never really good at it and the course was very in depth and demanding. My school teachers marked...

That doesn't sound too bad. I'll use this as I begin my trials grind lol

Yep

Well aware. It's honestly what hurts my maths marks the most. Not sure how to address it since they happen the most under time pressure. Which is way more common in 3U maths

That doesn't sound all too bad honestly. Realistically I will most likely make Western Sydney Med. I appreciate your response

Mistakes were made... Silly ones

Hi, I'm looking to get into UNSW medicine and am trying for a 99 ATAR. These are the rankings from my semester two report. I go to a top 50 school and I've put the number of band sixes from my school last year in brackets. Please note I'm doing 12 units. English Adv 38/185 (17 Band 6s)...

Last couple of years we've had 35-40 band 6s in Ext 1 maths but only 5-7 in Ext 2 maths. It's always been my aim to stay in the top 30 for Ext 1 maths but I'm worried about how the weighing of this task is worth more than trials, and how messing this one up could mean my rank would be...

Thanks for the reassurance. I definitely need to pick these marks up next term

Hi everyone, I attend a selective school ranked in the top 50 and currently take the following subjects: English Adv, Math Ext 1, Math Ext 2, Biology, Physics, Chemistry. My first exam results were pretty good. I ended up ranking top 20 in all of my subjects except Maths Ext 1 which was rank...

Hey guys, I recently received an English IRP Task notification. It's a massive task that's gonna span over two terms and its already quite overwhelming but perhaps what's bothering me the most is CHOOSING A TEXT!!! This text has to be written from 1900s and must be a canonical text. The...

Thank you! This has got to be the most useful advice I've received in this thread. I really appreciate you taking the time to write all that out

Gotcha! What's some strategies you're using for memorisation? I'm personally going to try and set up Anki Flashcards as I've heard they're really effective

Seriously? What about Newcastle or Western Sydney? I do want to score around 99 and make it into one of the more prestigious unis but I'd be comfortable with Newy as well

Thank you for your advice and perspective. I really appreciate it and will incorporate it in my approach this year!

I actually started studying when school went online last year because I could scoot through most of schoolwork in about an hour. Term 4 was also pretty lazy because everything was impacted by COVID and I put school on the back burner to keep revising. I haven't studied too deeply and haven't...

Hey everyone! I stumbled upon this forum as I was combing the internet for study tips and guides for year 11 HSC. Turns out there's no good guides or tips out there online and most articles end up linking to other articles, leaving you in a rabbit hole of five tabs above your browser and...
