A visual arts extension would totally pique my interest! Although I probably wouldn't take it for a couple of personal reasons I wonder how much visual arts could really be expanded upon as a course, though? I feel like we get a lot of creative liberty as is

From one neurodivergent to the next, the HSC course is totally not built for us at all TT I relate so much, unfortunately! My mark can flip between 100 and 70 in the span of a couple of months depending on my condition for the exam, marks are never an indicator of how much you care about a...

I believe you have until a handful of months into the year after graduation to save everything you need, though I'd recommend starting right after graduation. Not like you won't be short of free time to download things you want to keep

Starting from term 4 I'm going to start forcing myself to love studying all my subjects on a daily basis. I love calculating ksp. Calculus makes me smile. Essay writing is the highlight of my day. I don't want to die when I see massive vocabulary lists in my Wakatta textbook. I am looking...

Honestly totally agree with this, if you're disciplined enough; self-teaching is better than any sort of tutoring if you can build a genuine interest in it (videos and textbooks have always been my self-teaching best friend). The upcoming summer break is the perfect time to get a head start on...

I was impressed with how good the characterisation was in ALL, really hit close to home to read about Jude. I have to say it was real cathartic if I ignored some of the smaller stuff, although it definitely felt a bit like the author was going through a laundry list of how to make him suffer...

It really just depends on the area, if you want same-minded students in a partially selective school then you should stay away from the more Western Sydney areas, because the weird one-sided animosity will be awkward since you'll be so different from each other. I believe I just got unlucky with...

I've lost 1 mark from my essay for not putting a conclusion (because essay structure, y'know), it's largely a matter of quality. At my school you're better off trying to squeeze one in, it's fine as long as it exists and says what it needs to say in as minimal words possible, it doesn't even...

(I only do chemistry, if it matters) I'm sure ZhangsHSC is a really good tutoring centre (considering the prices and its success rate at producing high marks), it's just a matter of how high you're trying to aim and how much money you're willing to shell out. I go to Proed and I think it's a...

Just adding my 2-cents as a student at a partially-selective school (unfortunately), if I could turn back time I would've never let my mother pressure me into going to a closer partially-selective school. Not sure how it is for others, but here the student cohort is unbearably and freakishly...

It just depends on how well you can work under pressure. For me, I struggle a lot under pressure so I prepare paragraphs just in case. I recommend focusing on memorising TEE tables first and foremost though, and maybe preparing paragraphs in advance as practice/a guideline for when you're doing...

My Japanese continuers exam was 3 hours TT not enjoyable

All those egoistic people that I hate are academically insecure and want to get 99+ for their ATAR. So now I must beat their self-esteem into the ground at all costs and do better.

Personally I just sit down with the textbook and start taking notes, or I start watching a lot of videos on the topic if I can't digest it through text at that moment

Once you realise there's a world outside of the ATAR HSC "Here's how to get 99.95 ..." study grind etc etc chamber, you'll come to terms with your ATAR. There's a billion different pathways you can go on, the tiny box that is high school is nothing in comparison to it. You should take your guilt...

I'm in the exact same boat, I put my all into my previous assessments for every subject but for prelims I completely gave up TT Thankfully the grade-drop won't be significant (Aside from maybe English, I'm probably dropping to a B) but it's still a disappointing way of ending yr11 But to be...

It's okay if I flunk prelims, because I always have yr12 to lock in!!!! :angel:
