    Study over holidays.

    In our school the 4U classes learn Harder 3U mixed in with their 3U work. We've already done Inequalities as a separate topic and it was mixed in there, and basically when we go to revise Circle Geometry we're just going to be doing 4U questions. Same for all other Harder 3U work. It's...

    bad school good ranks VS good school bad ranks

    It's hard to say, because in good schools bad ranks still correspond to marks of around 90s.

    Who feels like crying?

    It was 3 1 hour exams, all essayish (Eco, Modern, 3U English). I churned out ~60 A4 pages by the end of the day. I think 6 people had a triple day on that day, and some guys had a whole day off same day. Except I was the only one following that up with 4U Maths the next day. Most people had 2U...

    How comprehensive should my notes be?

    Modern is basically a LOT of content. You need all of it. Don't condense. If you can't handle the content, don't do Modern.

    Texts of choice for 4U

    There's also Dymocks George St for Textbooks. Cambridge/Fitz should be all you need, Coroneos for some trickier stuff. Can I enquire why you suddenly need 4U textbooks?

    Subject selection and advice - Law

    Not Modern, but legal yes scales poorly. Also it's 99.4 UAI or 99.4 ATAR for UNSW, 99.55 for USyd. You might want to hold onto 2U maths, (drop Music 1 though, scales worse than Legal). Music 2 however is a good choice if you can take it. That works out incredibly efficient (easy + high scaling)...

    Sex ed

    My sex ed classes in PE were just laughing my ass off at pictures of penises/vaginas, especially the diseased ones. I actually learnt about sex from porn, and got 100% on the Sex Ed test.

    How do you beat naturally smart people?

    If he works and he's smarter than you there's no way. If he doesn't, work harder. Otherwise find your pet subject. Mine is Eco, I can even match crazy hardworking geniuses (the 99.95 types) with minimal effort. Everything else though they kinda smash me (except English).

    What are your aims for these holidays?

    Do all my Modules Essays, Finish the 3U Maths Course, do some Chem (if I keep it) and work through some 4U Maths work. Eco and Modern can go jump off a cliff, light reading at most. Other than that, lots of dota, porn and exercise.

    does the school find out our ATAR?

    My school would basically used the above 3 to make an estimate and then the sudent themselves would confirm it at the Year 11/12 End of Year BBQ

    So many pages

    I wrote 16 pages in my 40 minute 2U essay and 21 pages for my 50 minute 3U essay. I write 3-4 words per line and on every 2nd line otherwise it doesn't fit. So I'm not writing more words than you. Don't worry. I average 55-60 words a page.

    Too many "essay-based" subjects ?

    Modern, Ancient and English are the only uncapped (i.e. 100 scales to 100) subjects you picked. Ancient scales pretty badly though, only Modern/English scale decently. But if you do fairly well you can still get a good ATAR depending on your aim (gonna need to pull 95s though if you want 99+)...

    Which subject/s do you bludge most in?

    Modern/Eco/English. All fairly bludgy and light (little to no homework). All of them my best subjects. Go figure.
