    how ATAR is calculated questions?

    What I can add to that is that for my cohort last year, where we only had two internal tasks before trials (because of Covid, one task got cancelled), they had to increase the weightings. So that meant our Chemistry and Physics exams were 50 or 60% each, meaning the remaining 50 or 40% came from...

    screwed myself over for maths

    I believe that's right. I also did 11 units last year, and the 1 unit subject I did was one of my best. It was one of my 2 unit subjects which wasn't counted, so I believe they took half from that subject and the other half from the 1 unit subject, to get 10 units assessed in total.

    trick to improve writing speed

    That is a good tip to have it separately on the desk as it's more stable. I wouldn't worry about writing sound because in a hall where there will be 100+ students writing, no one's going to be concerned about the minor sounds coming from your table; they will all be immersed and concentrating on...

    Sleep patterns & Plan of attacks

    With the exams in 2 days, definitely make sure to prioritize your sleep. You may be inclined to stay up to get more study in, but that study won't be efficient if you are half asleep and dozing off. It's definitely worth sacrificing a few hours of study if it means you can get an adequate amount...

    When to start prepping for UCAT?

    Having prepared for it twice now (last year and this year), I can definitely say give yourself enough time. Last year, I must have started 2 months before the exam, which was in no way enough to exhaust all the possible exams and questions on the Medify package. This year though, being a uni...

    98 ATAR good enough for dentistry?

    I mean, you have a full year left, so there's nothing to say you can't get a 99+ ATAR. Just put in the work, be consistent, and let the rest take care of itself. Definitely agree that CSU, being in Orange, can be a big change if you are a suburban or city resident like myself. USYD as well has a...

    98 ATAR good enough for dentistry?

    https://future-students.uq.edu.au/study/programs/bachelor-dental-science-honours-2367#entry-requirements From the website above, they say the median ATAR without adjustment points was 99.15 for the September intake going into 2022 (obviously with adjustment points that would have been a .95...

    Predictions for Ext 2 HSC Paper

    Honestly, they can assess any topic ... could be a difficult complex question, motion, integration, etc ... up to NESA I guess what they want to do.

    Pre HSC State/ Post ATAR state

    Yh, but it's definitely easier and less stressful than the GAMSAT, which is much harder and one you actually need background information for (actual 'study' vs UCAT which is just prep) ... if you are successful through the undergrad pathway, it would also be 1-2 years quicker than doing a 3-4...

    Pre HSC State/ Post ATAR state

    Would you consider applying for undergrad med say in your first year of uni?

    english

    Considering most people write essays within the word range of 900-1000, and also considering intros and conclusions should probably be around 100-120 words, I'd say 250-280 words per body paragraphs. Of course, this is subject to change depending on how many word essays people write and how long...

    Pre HSC State/ Post ATAR state

    I was just curious and wanted to ask why you don't want to go through the undergrad pathway (keeping in mind you can repeat the undergrad process until you finish a degree)

    hsc advanced english

    So there's 2 exams you will have to do: Paper 1 and Paper 2 Paper 1 consists of short answer questions (which is 4-6 texts; can be pictures, essays, narratives, newspaper articles, etc) and there will be questions I've seen ranging from 1 to 8 marks. So obviously the amount of marks dictates...

    motivation - after HSC plans?

    Oh shit, I misread your initial message as schoolwork instead of housework. I was so confused at first but yh, that makes more sense

    motivation - after HSC plans?

    Haha, why would that matter once you've officially finished school? It's not like the school can do anything about it. And what will the point be in doing work from 2 years ago, it's not like it will help you in the future anymore

    motivation - after HSC plans?

    Just forgot about work and had fun lol ... not really that much to it (went out with mates, travelled a bit, did some part time work to earn money, starting working out, just general stuff - nothing too out there)

    motivation - after HSC plans?

    Yh, I meant like there will actually be people who believe that if they study before starting uni that it will give them an advantage or something. Like not being able to access the uni syllabus or textbooks for whatever course you will be doing won't help you anyway in terms of getting a head start

    motivation - after HSC plans?

    Definitely please don't do this ... you'll be on a clean slate when uni starts, until then, take the well-deserved break you enjoy from work and take the time to pick up something new, as people earlier have mentioned they want to do

    motivation - after HSC plans?

    It's really cool that you want to upload HSC videos as I used to watch these religiously to help me get through the HSC. IDK, there's something therapeutic and exciting about listening to people in the year vlogging their HSC experience and then watching their realization at the fact that HSC is...

    Sleep patterns & Plan of attacks

    Ahhh, yh that makes a lot more sense. Definitely agree with that as well, the last few minutes I was like no point in trying to retain anything, might as well just hang with friends to calm down the nerves. At the end of the day, you're going to be much more nervous being on your own, and even...
