    How's everyone doing for maths?

    It really is subjective as to the amount of past papers an individual does, I started at 1988 and worked my way up to 2011:) for 3u, 1999-2011 for 2u and a crapload of trial papers from a multitude of schools, Maths is just so relaxing to do in comparison to other subjects:)

    Atar & Marks estimate

    OP is doing 12 units, they only choose his top ten (including 2 units of English), he seems to be doing equally well in music and legal, 8 of his top units are most obviously going to be Eng/MX1/MX2/Phys, so they would either take legal in its entirety or his music or they will take 1 unit from...
  10. TheOptimist

    Atar estimate for friend

    Try and improve a bit in English and Mathematics, your school rank is good, so I'd say 90/91 :)
  11. TheOptimist

    Atar estimation please. Like. Now.

    orly? Well your coming last in almost all your subjects aside from eco, however your school rank is good, so I'd say 69/70:)

    Options for the HSC

    It is imperative that you try and move into Advanced, as Standard scales horribly, and it is renowned as one of the most difficult subjects to get a band 6 in, if your aiming for a higher ATAR, 94/95+ then moving up to Advanced seems like the most logical step:)

    2012 HSC Writing Booklets

    imo, these booklets are far too small
  14. TheOptimist

    atar estimate please

    Work harder in English and Business, its hard to determine what they'll disregard, right now you'd be looking at 90/91 :)
  15. TheOptimist

    Atar & Marks estimate

    I think you already know the answer to your question, right now im thinking they'll take a unit each from music and legal, school rank is very good, work a bit harder on english and the prospect of 99.5+ seems acheivable, so yeah definitely on track for a 99+imo :)
  16. TheOptimist

    just the usual atar estimate please!

    Your SOR1 will probably not count, your other ranks are good, I certainly believe that you will be able to smash your primary goal of 80+, and if you put enough effort in to it, then I can't see why 86+ is not possible:), as for right now I'd say 84/85 :)
  17. TheOptimist

    12 hours quality study a day?

    Back in the day, say 20 years ago, the HSC was worth close to 100% of your final mark, so it seemed perfectly reasonable to put in the most study for the exam that would count the most:)
