i didnt study for 3u so i did stats like the day before my 3u exam. I did my exam in 2022 where the final q was a stats questions and i got 0/4 in that.

Sounds like a 1st class problem

4u 2022 was the hardest 4u exam till date btw (which is what the aligment indicates) definitely harder than the 3u exam

the alignment is just whatever the 60th percentile got be fr the 2023 exam was harder

alignment doesn't completely correlate to difficulty. Take math advanced 2024 vs 2021. 2024 Is clearly harder than 2021, yet 2021 had a band 6 cut off mark 3 marks below 2024

If you’re aiming for Med, it’s very rare for students to get that type of ATAR without some extra help. Of course, it does happen, but it’s rare.

There’s a reason why high performing people in athletics, business, life in general have mentors and coaches and are part of masterminds and communities!

My eldest was 16 when she finished HSC in 2015 at our local public high school, with band 6 results for Adv Eng, Bio, Chem, Physics, economics and E4 in maths Extn 1 & 2. She didn’t have a tutor and in fact her phone was constantly buzzing with messages from her classmate friends asking her for help. An independent learning attitude and helping others under pressure stood her in great stead for working in ED all of last year. Honestly, I would not have wanted her to be a medico if she couldn’t handle the pressure.

The fact that she also did not get coaching for her med school interviews was good because her answers were not rehearsed and her responses were different from the stock standard ones that some panel members actually told her that she’d given them a new perspective, which probably gained her the offers from the med school of her first choice in each state.
