    90+ HSC Mark English - how did you do it??

    Both way too popular-you want to find something that is not a mainstream choice but not too obscure so that teachers can actually understand and will be like 'Oh didn't think of that but that totally works' when they mark it-preferably something of significant literary value (renowned author)...

    90+ HSC Mark English - how did you do it??

    Try and explore the duality of discovery in your thesis-especially if your text is about a 'positive' transformation (not sure about LoP as I haven't watched or read)-i.e. discovery is not always empowering-this can be best done through selection of a 'darker' related text. If you explore...

    State Ranking

    Since no one has talked about the 'other factors that are taken into account', if the Final HSC marks [(assessment+exam)/2 and rounded] are exactly same (very common in 2/3U maths where a lot of people end up with 100 Final HSC mark) then they will look at things like handwriting, length of...

    Study tips please!!!

    Some solid stuff above, just thought I'll expand on areas not addressed Maths: Not sure if the same applies to you, but for me (a non accelerated maths student) maths classes at my school did not change for Yr11 and 12, so once you got into 'top'/'second'/''third'... etc class you got stuck...

    HSC Courses Help!!!

    Biology is not a pre-req for Medicine however if you do not complete Biology at the HSC level you might need to do a 'bridging' course for it before Uni starts. However, I would not recommend doing Biology over something you are better at/more interested in for the HSC especially if you are only...

    How do you study ALL your subjects in one day?

    Yea unfortunately it only applies to Maths (a subject which can be done in a rather noisy environment) as opposed to something like English where chatter and discussion around you can affect your own ability to write. Thank you for the compliment and all the best to yourself

    Useless Physics Teacher and Ways to Teach Oneself

    Although you might argue that I am being biased because I do work as a tutor, I having recently been a student myself don't completely with some of things you have said: 'Tutoring is unnecessary'-I really do not feel that this can be generalised to every single student. Everyone is different...

    How do you study ALL your subjects in one day?

    Yes that is indeed true, it is rather unfortunate that it can not be done in all scenarios like you have mentioned. However if there are opportunities to change teachers through changing timetables etc. it's perhaps worth a try if interested

    How do you study ALL your subjects in one day?

    One of the things that really helped me out in being able to study ALL my subjects during the day would be doing Maths during school (I know I'm repeating myself with some of my other posts but I just want it to be known). I had around 24 Periods of Maths in total at school from 4 Unit and all I...

    Questions for those who got a 95+ Atar

    1. Approximately how many hours a day did you dedicate to study/homework each day (school days and weekends)? I have soccer/basketball training from Monday - Friday and I get home around 6pm. 1-2hrs squeezed during school/study periods, 3-4 at home (got home at 4:30pm, but lost hrs to dinner...

    90+ HSC Mark English - how did you do it??

    Sorry if I'm late to the party 1. How much time did you spend on english, and what did you do? A lot, approximately 200 hrs minimum writing the first draft of my Mod A (according to Microsoft Word file properties) to the best of my ability (I don't see why people make first draft 'bad' when...

    Using an English Ext. 1 text for discovery

    Don't risk anything my friend, the HSC English Exam is a high stakes exam where 1 mark out of 105 is equivalent to 1 External Exam Mark out of 100, imagine if you lost significant number of marks (anywhere from 5 to 10) because the marker doesn't look favourably towards this of behaviour-which...

    Does prelim knowledge get tested in HSC exams?

    Speaking for Physics/Chemistry, prelim content is assumed knowledge according to the syllabus but this is pretty vague. In my opinion, you can be expected to know the 'overarching' ideas of the Preliminary Course, for Phys an appropriate example would be something like momentum and impulse-if...

    Useless Physics Teacher and Ways to Teach Oneself

    Getting a 'useless' teacher may not necessarily be a bad thing, infact a major positive from this would be you would be able to use class time to do past papers especially during exam periods. This is certainly not possible with a 'good' teacher who demands attention and tries to teach, they...

    Half yearlies prep/stress/mistakes/other

    I think in terms of stress levels of exams throughout the year Half-Yearlies exams aren't really too bad (Most to Least Stressful would be: Trials>Term 4 (Year11)>Term 2 assessments>Half Yearlies>HSC). In preparing for the HY Exams I think one of greatest mistakes people make is simply leaving...

    How can I practise my essay writing

    Unfortunately you can't really practice essay writing without having been allocated your texts (assuming you are indeed Year 11 as per HSC 2018 so you will get these texts once the term starts), essay writing really comes into place after having studied the set texts for an extended period of...
