    ATAR calculators - how good and how to use well

    The ATAR calcultors are pretty accurate. They do give you a pretty good idea of what ATAR you'll get, but only if you have an accurate idea of what sort of marks you'll be getting for the HSC. The thing is though, most people don't have an accurate idea of what they will be getting for the HSC...

    Study plans for preliminary course?

    3.5hrs in year 11? Be careful you don't burn out :S You really shouldn't study based on time. You should just do enough work to get everyone that you want done, done. Of course, be realistic about what you want to get done that day and prioritise properly! Remember to work smart, not hard ;)

    How do your social circles react to fact, that you never had a girlfriend

    There are plenty of girls like that are in the same situation as you, so don't worry. It doesn't really matter anyway, when you find the right person they won't care.

    Please help urgent

    That depends on what you define to be "excellent" and "crap". More often than not, average in advance beats near the top in standard. As others have said, your year 11 marks/ranks do not affect your ATAR at all. And remember that you can drop down to standard, but you cannot jump up to...

    Conflicting Perspectives -Justice Game+Related Texts

    You should have 3 related texts as that is the maximum number of texts they can have you, but at the very least you must have two. They usually don't ask you for anymore than 2 related texts though as otherwise you will not be able to analyse your texts in enough depth. Any text is a good text...

    Conflicting Perspectives: Song or Film Related texts?

    +1 I also strongly advise you to stay way from songs unless you do music as you will lose marks if you analyse only the lyrics (which is what most people do).

    Leaving school and studying at OUA as an alternative entry?

    I believe you should apply at an on-campus uni and stay enroled at OUA until you know you got accepted. Otherwise you might be rejected and be unable to go to uni at all.

    Baulkham > JRAHS?

    Ruse will always be first unless there's some explosion at the school that kills/critically wounds the top 50% of kids etc etc It's easier to blame/insult others than it is to insult yourself.
