Hey, I know internals seem really important because they're all you have done so far but trust me, your externals are so important and it's never too late to redeem your mark! For advanced eng I was getting 15s and 16s out of 20 (not horrible, but definitely far from my top 10 rank before), and...

Depends how you do for ATAR and UCAT, and especially your interview! If your ATAR/UCAT is on the lower side, your interview is going to pull you through. Definitely UoN seems to be the easiest (96 ATAR, 2.7k UCAT ish? but good interview obvi), other instate options like UQ (95 ATAR, 2.8k UCAT)...

Hey guys : D I haven't been back here in a while but I'm going to be selling my HSC notes + essays for v cheap! I went to a top 10 selective school and got a 97+ ATAR in 2019 (so these are all for the new syllabus!), pm me for more details or proof if you want haha. The subjects I'm selling...

The interview for me was by phone call but depends on school.

I was super thrown off by section 1 tbh, didn't expect both critical and creative. I also expected a creative extract for a critical, not two analytical pieces. I thought section 2 was ok but that was because my question was adaptable enough for my essay. But damn, definitely not what I expected.

DUDE SAME HAHAH I had NO idea it was about STEVE BEING DEAD and I wrote about the exhilaration of the human experience in the moment of tension which is clearly not what the main interpretation was. But I think it should be ok as long as you follow it through and justify it, and it doesn't seem...

Lol same, I didn't think Common Mod would be too hard because I didn't think we would be given a specific theme, especially one so IRRELEVANT to the text. Now I'm scared for Mod A and B where the rubric is a lot more vague and unpredictable.

Memorise quotes, prepare adaptations to potential specific topics and a few creative/discursive ideas. Look at trial questions from other schools and have a strong thesis that you can adapt. Practice writing essay under timed conditions

I reckon it will be lower than previous years but not by much. Possibly a mid 80s like 84-85?

The booklets were really strange, our markers made us take our staples out before the exam started but I was just really caught off guard by that. Also thought we would have gotten just booklets for questions, not spaces in the question booklet.

Yep, her internal mark was 94 but HSC external mark was 99!

Not ATAR as a whole but my friend was ranked 10/13 for a subject and ended up getting a 99 external mark, bumping her overall mark for that subject to a 97 which is super impressive.

Modern scales pretty well overall and very well for a humanities.

Usually top 20 have a decent change to get in.

Girraween but it is hard to get in. Great school though.

Pearson seems to be better than the nelson in focus series.

Delta is ok, it's a bit far from you. Maybe check out CBK at Castle Hill or Dux College which is conveniently located in Parramatta.

I don't think there are many faster ways other than evaporating as much as possible and leaving it in the sun or in a dehydrator, not sure if your school has it though. But yeah, in 50 minutes, I really doubt you would have a enough time to do that so it's just something you could put in a...

Yes maths will most definitely be 5.3. Not sure about the rest but I'm think it's run by the HAST and they may have some practice papers so it might worth while to check it out. No other way to prepare for maths other than making sure you know your year 10 content well. For extra curriculars...

A lot of people start in year 7 to further accelerate themselves (especially in maths) to get ahead for senior years. Not necessary in my opinion unless he is not motivated to study, falling behind or not understanding concepts though.
