    Guide to Predicting HSC Marks

    Hey! Last year I sat the HSC and like most students, I tried my best to accurately predict my HSC marks (and thus, my ATAR) using my internal assessment ranks since my school didn't give us ATAR predictions. Long story short, I pretty accurately predicted my HSC marks (I was 1 mark off for...

    HSC Resources

    Depends on the subject fam. I found the ATAR Notes books very helpful for subjects like Biology but not really for Chemistry. Haven't seen Dot Point or Excel guides to comment on them.

    Depends on the Uni, some will accept penalize late assignments, even if its just minutes late. Check your own university guidelines/handbook or the course specifically as they will be able to give you more info. If the coordinator is nice and it is legitimately like 1 min late, email the...

    do i hold a chance

    Yes. I didn't do as well as I wanted for 2/3 of my exams up until the trial (I did alright in the first exam but bombed half yearly and 3rd exam). Got 90/100 in trial and got 94 for Eng Advanced HSC. Work out your weakness, rewrite your essays, get feedback from teacher/tutor and really...

    Word Count

    Word count is not a good indicator of how well you will do. I did advanced and my essays were usually 1400 words (which is very long) but I scored about the same as people who only wrote 1000 words or even less. It is better to be concise and clear than waffling on and on. However, as a general...

    Importance of reading

    It's pretty helpful when it comes to Mod C, personally I went and tried to read a lot of short stories as inspo for the HSC (even if that reading just came from doing Paper 1 Trials from other schools lmao). It helps since you can 'steal' other plot elements/characters/settings that you've...

    Pretty much I just got my tutor and teachers to keep rereading it and I went through the text and my notes again to really UNDERSTAND what the focus was to reframe my arguments. So I guess mainly a better practice essay and preparation. For you, try to find where you are losing marks (grammar...

    Basically I wasn't really getting the point of the essays and my understanding of the modules wasn't very clear and it really only clicked before trials where I rewrote every single one of my essays a LOT (I had to rewrite my Mod A essay 8 times LOL).

    [URGENT] Extension 2 in Year 12?

    If you're generally better at analytical, then you should stick to it! Since this is a mock major work, look at the typical forms associated with major works, and in your case, that would most similarly resemble a critical response. Go through the requirements of a critical response and try to...

    atar calculators

    Pretty accurate if you have a good estimate of what you are going to get for your HSC marks, however, scaling is very variable to change. My ATAR was 1 point too high using an ATAR calculator (using my HSC results), so it's not 100% accurate but it will give you a pretty good idea.
