I personally didn't go tutoring for maths for my HSC and I think I did okay for it. Hypothetically speaking if I could chose again I would have gone tutoring and could have benefited with better guidance (not necessarily just for higher marks but more so for being challenged and motivated in a...

Depends on what you plan to do afterwards. If you are looking at pricing/actuarial roles at insurance companies then yes I would be say in terms of the effort spent(especially if you continue to do FIAA) and the rewards it may be a bit overrated. If you check the job openings at insurance...

Oh also some of the catch(or 'disadvantage' in a way) of higher ranked school is that they may limit the number of people who are able to choose certain 'harder'(often better scaling) preliminary and HSC subjects to begin with. But those are purely based on their yr 10 performance and in some...

Practically you don't have to know all of those just bear in mind if your school's cohort is small and unstable you should try and maintain a high (ideally 1st) ranking to avoid negative impacts of moderation. Also from ATAR maximisation perspective you want to improve your ranking of your...

Okay as mentioned I think you are getting mixed up between the terminology and hence the confusion. School performance (in terms of the total and distribution of HSC marks for each subject) does affect the "moderated assessment mark" but NOT the exam mark. In terms of what matters to you ...

Your document is the HSC mark against ATAR contribution not against scaled mark. Noting that precaution the document looks reasonable. The ATAR contribution is assuming if all other units are of the same scaled mark what's the ATAR equivalent. E.g. If I get 97 for maths standard that is about...

Doing textbook chapters or past paper is not the goal but improving your understanding and proficiency is (e.g. for any question do you really know the rationale behind it so you can adapt to different variations of it, and for a standard textbook level question are you spending more than the...

With actuarial co-op do you actually want to stay in the traditional insurance pricing area and get qualified as FIAA? Or is consulting or IB more preferred? If that is the case I don't think you necessarily have to take an actuarial degree.

don't set your goal as 'ranked 1st' which is quite high level and vague but rather instead focus on the actual problems at hand e.g. if you think it's silly errors - what are the different types of that and how to practice and avoid that? time management - which type of questions are you...

Some schools offer revision / catch up lessons for situation like this. Or at least make sure that you can catch up on the topics you missed.
