    Year 11 Subject Selection - HSC

    I think you should look into doing biology if you're interested in doing medicine. And also, you'll need to be looking at a much higher ATAR if you're looking to get into medicine (iirc, the minimum ATAR requirement for med at UNSW is 96, but the average is like 99.2) which religion should i...

    What to do with 2 weeks til trials?

    1. STOP FREAKING OUT!! Like freaking out too much will undermine your confidence which can detrimentally affect your exam performance. 2. Make sure all your necessary notes are done. You don't need to memorise every single detail or each topic, but know enough that can ensure your responses...

    Related text help! );

    You might want to look at a text that isn't a poem or a song because those are often too short to analyse and lack depth if they're not really good. Like what strawberrye said, you shouldn't pick a related text because it fits with one sentence. In the exam, what happens if your text doesn't fit...

    What's the benefit of a selective school?

    Selective schools are more academically inclined, so if you're seeking that kind of environment, go ahead. But TBH, those results can be achieved at normal comprehensive schools, except its more likely in a selective school because the cohorts are more driven to excel academically. There's...

    Some advice please for 4U

    gonna do sydney grammar trial papers (they're most like the HSC) and also do the HSC past papers themselves because one needs to experience doing them 3 hours in a row...it different to doing them separately (i.e. by topic) if i have time, I'm also going to go through Terry Lee and do the...

    Fail Trials = Fail HSC?

    remember your ATAR is determined by your internal AND external assessments!! If you screw up trials, its not over, because you still have the actual HSC exams to crush :)

    How does one go about re-learning Y11 work for trials?

    nah you dont really need to do hardcore revision for year 11 topics, only the ones you /really/ struggled with seriously do trial papers because it all comes rushing back to you :P

    Too much time wasted?

    I always write ideas I like from other essays during my brainstorming time, and think what do I really want to say about the text before starting to write it all out. Don't get too hung up about using other people's ideas, it's fine to come up with your own. TBH, I think you're too secure with...
