I think I had 97 with no SR :(

I think you might need 99 or 100 for this unfortunately

Probably imo

I'm just a pessimistic person when it comes to these things lol

To be fair, new syllabus = anything could happen

I disagree with this, we were second in 2016 and 2017

From experience it came out earlier on the app (like 15-20mins before the scheduled ETA for the website)

I think people just choose to go to the uni which offers them what they are looking for as well as any benefits (eg. scholarships). In some cases this defaults to UNSW (eg. actuarial studies which is not offered at USYD). However, a substantial amount still choose to go other unis (I chose USYD...

Well the more practice you get in the better so by all means go study ahead if you it means you get in more practice, basically the key to 4U is having been exposed to all the tricks (which means having gone through as many past papers as possible-I'll even throw in an extra tip, once you get to...

Definitely true, especially for Year 10 where I presume English teachers do not have much "standardisation" amongst each other and probably just want to get the marking out of the way. However at the same time, in my opinion, a good essay should always receive A-range regardless. Assuming you...

I was under the impression from your signature that we went to the same high school? But yea I'm around 11 years younger :O

On the contrary I remember receiving some very decent 'up to date' textbooks for Physics, Chemistry and Maths (not that I actually used any of them tho haha)

Completely agree with this, I feel like the most valuable skills I took away from English was in actually "preparing" the essay where you learn to present your analytical skills in a sophisticated yet nuanced manner (something I believe is essential post-HSC). However, these qualities go out the...

I think this sounds like perhaps they've learnt the content in advance i.e. at some tutoring centre rather than just pure ability, from my experience such advantages don't have that much of an impact after sufficient practice. Several past papers in and you might be even better at 4U than...

I have absolutely no idea about this one since I am no longer at school. Perhaps a more recent graduate could answer this question

I think pencil is fine, but I used those page markers/sticky tabs things. I think most people preferred books with plenty of annotations from the previous owner :p

All provided for :) I should rephrase what I said earlier, I read all my English/literature texts but tended to not use Maths or Science textbooks.

Extracurriculars are completely organised by yourself so you can have as many or as little as you want. They may take the form of sports, cadets, music, extra tuition, volunteering etc. If you don't have anything extracurriculars I would assume you would generally go home at 3pm (which a...

OP stated "I don't really feel comfortable sharing bc of privacy aah sorry but I've applied to a selective school via Year 11 entry :) I've tried looking for threads on/users from that school though and its virtually hopeless rip... oh well"

It is hahaha or you could "head to a library" with your friends (imo not a very productive thing to do) Yep a lot depends on the school, if you want you can PM me for any more "private" information you seek about certain schools that you may considering, happy to have a chat. Should be not...
