    How to manage the work load every night?

    It really depends on your own learning style. I for one like to complete big chunks of a task at a time, but others work better by splitting something up alot. The only thing to maintain is consistency: ideally you want to be doing some type of study/revision for every subject every week (no...

    Modern history or maths standard 2?

    I would go as far as to say do maths adv. I'm not sure of your unique circumstances, but maths adv just opens up so many new doors and opportunities. Many unis r now asking for adv as a prereq for some major courses. To me, it makes sense because your interests and passions and goals beyond...

    How important are the first HSC assessments? How much do they affect your ATAR? I think I screwed them up...

    Absolutely you can still achieve your goals. The 1st assessments are often where people do the worst as they adjust to yr12, and the future allows plenty of room for improvement. Seeing as how you go to a top selective school, you're most likely a smart person who can perform very well. While a...

    Is my teacher holding me back?

    Absolutely. if after a while you feel like advanced isn't right for you, its easy to drop back into standard. But if you don't take the opportunity now, then they most likely won't let you go up into advanced.

    HSC scalings

    Just to be sure, there are two different things you could be talking about: 1. Moderation, done by NESA on your school marks to calculate HSC marks 2. Scaling, done by UAC on your HSC marks to calculate your ATAR They are different things, with different processes...

    How do state ranks work???

    I'm not sure i understand. For example, if we get the same mark in 3U, but i don't do 4U and you do 4U, does that mean you rank higher than I do?

    Is Dr Du Education any good?

    Dr Du is very good for maths. It works very fast and far ahead, and its HW questions are difficult and excellent. You get a weekly quiz which helps you to identify weaknesses and improve exam technique, and the spirit of competition is very high. The classes are graded, and the only difference...

    Optimising Past Papers

    You should always try to do past papers sooner rather than later to identify weaknesses and tackle those harder exam questions. The idea of 'saving' past papers isn't true.There are enough trial and hsc past papers out there that you'll never run out. I'd say try some exam qs after you finish a...

    How to create Notes?

    I mean I guess it doesn't really matter what you call these things. You should do both, taking notes in class so you can look back on them later, and summaries to help you revise and keep things fresh. If you don't look back at what you've done, soon you'll forget it all. I think sometimes...

    Dr Du vs Matrix?

    I'm sure Dr du is faster than matrix at moving through content, plus their qs r much harder. Proving things you use is never a bad thing either. If you really feel dr du is still slowing you down, perhaps a private tutor?
