Don't stress, I did pretty bad in my Y12 Chem half-yearly (I got 19/38, so just scraped a 50% after appealing), but I still managed to get a high B5 in the end. Don't let one exam hurt your confidence, doing bad in one exam really doesn't affect you as much as you think, just learn from your...

Sure, can you please PM me? You're account setting don't allow me to message you : ))

thank you jasmine!! : ))

messaged!

https://forms.gle/uYuTqVwxa2fZVqC29 Hey guys, Would appreciate if you could fill out my survey for my marketing assignment, it will take less than 5 minutes and is mostly multiple choice (so minimum effort needed)! It's about travel habits and your thoughts about intrastate travel (travel...

Thanks! I pretty much just wrote my essay as I would normally (so I would pick my ideas/themes) and find quotes for that best fit my argument. Then I would just practice adapting the points (which included switching several quotes from different paragraphs) to best fit new ideas. My ideas...

Heya! I did HSC in 2019, and I would definitely say memorize quotes only but practice adapting them. There's no point in memorizing like explanations for the quotes if the question is highly specific (which it will be because of the new syllabus), so you're better off practicing adapting your...

Yep sure, send me a PM! : )) Absolutely, PMmed!!

Something helpful I found was looking at exemplar essays or model answers and comparing my own ones to them to see where I lost my marks. Practice everything under timed conditions, review notes thoroughly, practice ADAPTING essays, etc.

Doing chemistry is necessary for most Science degrees in uni (aka forensics) but legal is not a prerequisite and won't really give you much of an edge in a law degree. I would say Chemistry because the knowledge you learn is very applicable to all disciplines of Science and you would have to do...

Pmmed!

Absolutely, the new syllabus can specifically give you a question about certain themes or ideas to ensure you don't prememorise essays. Best way to prepare is know your quotes well, be able to adapt your ideas and read through the syllabus to make sure you are prepared for whatever question they...

Depends what subject this is, but generally, I would skip from question to question to get the easiest marks. Assuming this is science, you can usually get a few marks by defining the term or providing some sort of example for the question. It's better to scab 1-2 marks from 3 remaining...

lmao mood this was literally me last year (suffered thru 2u math to get into usyd science). my internal marks were like a solid 60% lmfaooo but this is at a top 10 selective school so take that as you will. the raw mark in the hsc to get a band 4 is pretty much scraping a pass (around the 50s -...

Looks solid! Just remember law/arts is a high ATAR course so focus on what you believe you are good at to be able to maximise your ATAR and get into the course : ) As long as you enjoy your subjects and you are confident with your abilities, it looks like a very solid choice!

Have practice essays written!! Memorise your quotes + techniques and topic sentences Go through the syllabus and pull out key phrases (eg "paradoxes of the human experience) and write a different essay question based on that dot point Practice adapting your practice essay to every single one of...

Mod B questions can be specific to the text (eg discuss THEME and how the composer uses it to show MEANING). Your best bet is going through old trial questions.

Restate your point of the paragraph and directly answer the question.

No worries! Trust me when I say that one assessment means literally nothing, especially since you are only in Y11! Don't let one poor assessment define your own ability and knowledge, you ARE good at maths and your previous results clearly show that! Moving schools is a massive change, so don't...
