    Help with HSC and ATAR :)

    Yes, those are good subjects for a high ATAR, as long as you do well in them. It's not necessarily the subject choices, but your marks in the HSC which determine your ATAR. Although scaling does affect your ATAR positively if you do well :)

    How to improve in Mathematics?!

    Practice practice practice. I've pretty much always been 'good' at mathematics - since primary school - but the concepts used in maths can be understood if you take the time to use them. Once you build up the basics (basic algebra, rearranging) you build upon this as you continue the course...

    Help! Equation of a Straight line.

    ^^^Most of the previous posters are douchebags. Maybe revise over a textbook for this area if you don't understand it. The basic formula for a straight line is y= mx + b where m is the gradient, which can be calculated as (y2-y1)divided by (x2-x1) or rise over run b is the intercept...

    how do you achieve band 6's in the school certificate?

    Just listen in class and ask questions when you don't understand something. Don't really need to study unless you're stuck on something. But, about 2 weeks before SC just look over your book for the year. All thats needed :)

    any point to studying hard in year11?

    "Burning out" makes no sense. If you study subjects you enjoy, you aren't going to suddenly 'die' because you're studying.
