i just wanted to say to baby k yes it is possible. i sat biology hsc in yr 11 with an assement of 61%. in the hsc i had to pull of a 96 to remain in a band 6 position. i onli managed a 91 that scaled my assesment to a 81 resulting in my final mark of 86%. therefore i reckon anything is possible as long as you work hard and u as well as ur group perform well..helps if u attend a fancy pants private school

my maths teacher's son was a great soccer player in yrs 11 and 12, so good that he represented Australia overseas. However because of this he missed a lot of yr 12 and failed a lot of assessments. So 3 weeks to go before the first HSC exam he study's vigorously im talking 14, 15 hours a day. .. UAI of 91

so for those who bludged all year there's still hope!!!

This will sound like a dumb question, but as someone about to enter year 12 i'm really fretting - how do you study for the HSC?! Or year 12 exams in general? Is it just the same as year 11 exams? Start writing notes a few weeks before and read over them and highlight a few days or night before the exam? The HSC seems so big, how do you possibly conquer it, where do you start?? What does your study involve?!

Errr write notes consistently throughout the year and do past papers.

well a good friend of mine who finished his hsc in 07, with a UAI of 97.2 now doing Law at UTS told me he printed out the syllabuses for all his subjects during yr 11, and during the big summer vacation studied a good 10-12 hrs a day and by the beggining of 2007 he had finished all the yr 12 coursework and written up his notes for every single subject =) i wish id done that but he only told me lyk a month ago, but thats the advice id give to any yr 11s aiming high

 

[friction]

Wow that is dedication.

I still havent finished a few of my courses.

uh i would not advise this - most people i know who got 99+ just put the hors in when it counted - before assessmenttaskas and teh HSC itself - if i was this person u refer to, whodid 10-12ours in the sumer vacation, id be cut with aything less tan 99.50 to be blunt

Assessment tasks = cram weekend before / night before / don't study
HSC exams = cram the week before.

Enjoy!

 

[kevinx2]

HSC exams = cram the week before.

HSC exams = cram the night before/morning of the exam

 

[BabyK]

lol i love how u guys say ONLY 97...*sigh...i reckon id build myself a memorial in d middle ov the city if i got dat much

 

[Pwnage101]

we say 'only 97' cause we know from experience that the ppl who get much higher marks and ranks do much less....

 

[u-borat]

na we say only 97 cos to get 97 while doing that much study is frankly hilarious.

dont leave your notes to the last minute! seriously, seriously, seriously dont. it really helps if u do them consistently throughout the year especially during free periods. im not talking like heaps every day. the best way is to add to ur notes at the end of each week, adding in the content you covered in class the previous week. it really helps later in the year! then u have more time to study the actual content later in the yr.
can i just add, people who study more than 6-7 hours a day must have serious brainpower because that is just insane!

more than 6-7 hours is definitely difficult and draining.. but its feasible if you start your study like at 9 or 10am... then have like at least 4 blocks of 2hours
with intermittent breaks. 8-10 hours is definitely feasible.
