A question addressed to persons aiming for, or expecting, a high ATAR... (3 Viewers)

Soz. I didn't mean to imply anything about you.

It's just that...the top 40 in my year put in a lot of hours. Heck, they even study during free periods :/ , and they're the ones who get 99+. There are at least 1000 people each year who get over 99, and I'm pretty sure not all of them want to do Med or Law.

Still haven't heard from anyone who's actually aiming high ITT yet...

I study during my free periods/lunch but still its not countless hours.

Did you change your ATAR aim?

 

[LonelyWolf]

ATAR doesn't determine whether your smart.

It is an indication of how much effort you put in. Yes, tutoring is an effort. Effort made by parents to provide a better education for you. *Hint James Ruse ppl. -_-;;

Bragging rights, duh.

if you want bragging rights, bang hot chicks.

Yeah, but that won't buy bragging rights in the academic realm. Bragging rights overall - definitely.

ATAR and sex don't go well together.
Disregard females, acquire Band 6s.

I remember reading an article posted by Rafy about how people in smart, elite private schools went to clubs and lost inhibitions, clothing and virginities.

Elite private schools aren't smart.

I know, but the article implies the students partaking in whatnot are somewhat smart.

I'm obviously not studying hard enough.
Would you like to tutor me?

 

[slyhunter]

Study smart not hard, if you're there for a few hours at a time, you're doing it wrong

Smart study > Long study. But for a high ATAR, do you need both?
