yeah as a safety net in case i dont make gateway, though i feel like i'll probably fail it lmao wbu

yeah its always better to move earlier, though schools do typically accept more people in year 11. either way, all the best!!

(wait is this op? lol) oh okay if you're year 8 that should be plenty of time, to both build your portfolio and also work towards doing well on the hast! and ig you just need to think about whether moving to fairvale will benefit you at all - which it sounds like it will, given the number of...

What year are you in atm? Keep in mind that if you are transferring for the sake of competitions, the number of competitions you'll actually get to do at fairvale depends on how long you are there before applying for the selective school (which is around july of year 10). It also doesn't help...

even under gateway though (which im applying for) its still 85 for double law (dont need lat) and 90 for psych hons, which baffles me cause i would have thought law/psych would be harder. its so weird that the atar for double law is standardised across all courses

need help as srs apps close in like 2 weeks!!! - which is better for psych (hons) - usyd or unsw? - which is better for law - usyd or unsw? (other than the lat) - why is the lsr for psych(hons)/law 92.9 but 98 for psych(hons) at unsw? does that mean if im not good enough for psych i can still...

not sure how useful my input will be but from what I've heard usyd is more academic and unsw has a better work-student life balance. personally would go for unsw given scholarship, accommodation & student life but that's my personal preference & u should definitely go for the uni you think...

thank u for sharing!! yeah looking back on this (wow it’s been a while and a lot has changed) I now know so many people who’ve taken subjects they didn’t particularly have any interest in, before ending up hating & dropping it. it’s great that u managed to pick up drama externally and hope it’s...

thank you all so much!!

Does anyone know if the prelim syllabus is included in the HSC syllabus for bio and chem? my school's science trials are only on yr12 content, which confuses me cause a teacher told us that prelim chem will be in the hsc thanks!! - yr12-to-be

agreed, just go for it! was in a similar position as you last year and made it in, so you'll never know til you try. roundedness is also p important too, so if u got that u have a p good chance. re tutoring: don't bother with tutoring for junior years. in the grand scheme of things your junior...

Thank you both!

Hi, student taking the HSC in 2021 here. Was wondering if anyone knows where to find some good resources (notes, textbooks etc) that have the new syllabus, since most of the existing stuff isn’t fully accurate of what we need to know anymore. Thanks!

Thank you all for your insightful points!

I see thank you!

Thank you so much! With regards to sports, would you recommend that I do an extracurricular sport on top of representative spot? Also how do Bands work? What is a Band 6 / E4?

Initially I also expected the syllabus to be pretty different but after checking the NESA website there were surprisingly more similarities than I thought. Yes some topics are taught earlier here especially in maths, but for bio and chem they were pretty close. As for English and creative arts...

I’ve lived in Singapore my whole life so I go to the local schools! My parents are Australian and I was born in Sydney, hence the citizenship. Yep you’re right all that is very very different so I’m anticipating a bit of culture shock, although curriculum-wise the syllabus is pretty similar for...

Yes I am a lot more interested in drama. I’m just a little hesitant to take it because (scaling aside) i dont know if i’ll be able to do well. interest =/= skill after all :”

Thank you! Do you think Legal Studies will be useful/important if I decide to study law in uni?
