So far I'm going okay in all my classes. Going well with Bio and Extension Maths though.

(This may all change after exams next week...)

Have more faith in yourself BELIEVEEEEEE

mx1 but im bad at circle geo, otherwise it would be maths

yea cricle geo is the killer gg

 

[Sien]

2/3 unit math i suppose, although we just started doing applied trig in 3unit and the fitzpatrick new senior mathematics questions are hard :c

I KNOW THE F33LS my class is so rushed when it comes to 3 unit, the teacher doesn't give a shit about 3u lolll

I do believe. That I won't completely fail Year 11.

Wether or not I can live through 5 periods of maths in two days for another term and a half is debatable.

I am now really worried about circle geometry...

it's not that bad but it's annoying in a way idk how to explain it you kinda have to do it to understand

Sounds like fun...

 

[hawkrider]

wait till you guys start permutations and combinations

that shit was hard for me back then lol

 

[Graceuf]

I'm good with Polynomials. Can't we just do that for two years. [emoji14]

Hmmm...I think I'm coming 2nd or 3rd in HSC Business Studies (school ranking is within 200...)

Not sure how to feel about it Tn T! Been maintaining 3rd in Business Studies Preliminary for 2 years (Year 9 and 10).

Is it okay to still come top 3 in internals ranking?

Is it true if you get >90 HSC mark on all subjects for example, Extension 1&2 Maths, Chemistry and Physics however you get around 50-70 for English. Would you still get a low 90's atar in whole NSW? Just feeling curious because English is making me feel...

Too many variables tbh - depends on your overall marks. But generally, you want to do well in English because a mark in the 50-70 will probably drag you down.

You might scrap a low 90 ATAR, but it's somewhat unlikely with English marks like you mentioned lol. If you were in the mid b5 however, you can get above 90 ATAR, easily.

Should be okay

If you go hard there is no reason you can't get at least a band 4 in English

 

[wiliaamnguuyen]

Loooooool, in that case I should just try in the subjects I love and do mediocre in English

 

[Crisium]

Loooooool, in that case I should just try in the subjects I love and do mediocre in English

Keep in mind that it's difficult to Band 6 subjects like Mathematics Extension 1/2, Physics and Chemistry

My teacher got me a Cambridge 3u textbook :')

We got fed 6 times a day at camp- so I was constantly full! It was great!

But yeah- if it continues perhaps you should see a doctor or tell someone else that could help you.

1. Read more novels. Preferably classics (eg. 'The Great Gatsby' is great).
They will improve your vocabulary and expression.
2. Acquire a good essay and absorb its structure, analysis of techniques etc.
3. PREPARE. Sounds simple but failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Write an essay before the exam and give it to your teacher. Memorise the essay or your concepts really well. Not pre-writing an essay and memorising your text/essay could mean a difference of 5 marks or larger (out of 20) than if you just winged it.
4. If you can easily get >90 in all your other subjects you should be well on your way to 99+ (that is, if you get >90 for english and your school isnt complete trash)
