@carrotsss do you think 100 trial papers is more than enough for hsc for maff like i'm not bothered to do more

additional edit: i think i need to learn google's apps script which i think is just javascript so i'm fine but AAAA

Quick question just for my general knowledge - How many of ya'll are tutored or used to do tutoring for during senior years?

Majority of the people in my cohort take tutoring (although many deny it) and I think it's the main reason they excel. Although I haven't done tutoring for any senior subjects, I was wondering how many people here, do tutoring and whether it helps...

Bonus Q - Do you tell your peers/friends/teachers about taking tutoring or 'hide' it?

I am currently being tutored in Year 12. I usually don't tell my friends unless they ask first.

yes that’s more than plenty, you’ll find diminishing returns after 10 or so anyway. I definitely didn’t do anywhere near 100

I never did tutoring but I did have a fair few friends who did, it wasn’t exactly a secret though but it didn’t seem to make too much of a difference other than in english

hi

I'm not necessarily aiming for DUX or anything, simply an ATAR above 90, however, my cohort is quite distracted and their is the possibility to top the cohort.

However their is this one guy in my class (in ALL my classes) who is suddenly doing extremley well in Physics, Ancient AND English. He wasn't really any comeptiton before but during the first term of year 12 he started 'impressing' all the teachers an now I feel insecure LOL

Just felt like telling you guys

 

[Cute-Duckie]

That really sucks, but don't get too worked up about it! It's hard to sustain that momentum throughout the whole year, and if he's only suddenly doing well then it's likely he won't be able to keep it up.

With that being said, as easy as it is for me to say, the best thing to do is to not compare yourself to him. Keep doing YOUR best, and the results will always follow.

Ofc feel free to rant about it as much as you want, but don't forget to focus on yourself and your best. At the end of the day your ATAR is just a number that doesn't really feel important for very long when you consider a whole life span.

You may or may not have seen that once before, I had a little rant about this girl in my class who was all of a sudden excelling in Biology and Chemistry which worried the hell out of me. I've gotten results back for both subjects and ended up topping both.

I would say, don't worry about other people and just worry about yourself. A lot of people tend to step up in Year 12 and that's completely normal. The transition from Y11 to Y12 brings a lot of switches in mindsets.

The moment you start concerning yourself with others, the more caught up you get with BEATING THEM, rather than DOING THE BEST YOU CAN. There is a difference between the two. For example, if you just want to beat someone, you'll start being content with achieving marks higher than them which could be like 50/100. Whereas, if you want to do the best you can, you can achieve marks like 90/100.

Don't feel insecure, use it as motivation to prove it to yourself of what you can do!

depends, sometimes tutoring can motivate students to succeed when they are not very self-motivated and give them resources, in which case it is very helpful. on the flipside, there are a lot of students who have a mindset that they can just attend tutoring and then succeed at their school when this is not the case (especially in english where every school has kinda different expectations and teachings for assessments and content), and then this is where i would say it is not worth it.

personally for me, i attended tutoring briefly at the end of year 10/start of year 11, but it didnt do much for me (also, the tutor told me that my creative piece was like perfect and i got like 10/20 LMAO he was chill though). i found that if i could work at my pace, had to actively seek resources for help online or in textbooks to understand things, and geniunely do everything in my power to suceed and understand that it was better for me rather than just having someone teach me, as i found that my school's teaching was already sufficient. it's nice to have someone who you can ask about a question or concept though, but personally all my teachers were very willing to help out with anything, eg if i was ever stuck in maths and i tried everything i thought i could do, i could just give my teacher a question and she would do it in the downtime between classes/in working lessons. however i know that some students prolly dont have a teacher who will even read over their essays in english at all, in which case having a tutor sounds like a good investment

Study in silence and let success make the noise.

Thank You

Anytime! Feel free to rant whenever too; I can't promise that there won't be judgement because of the amount of trolls on this platform, but there'll always be a few of us here to be of some reassurance!

I did tutoring in years 9 and 10 for maths (5.3), but now I'm dropping down to Standard 2 maths so I'll have no tutoring. I was a bit embarrassed to be getting tutoring at first so I didn't tell many people, but I've never intentionally hidden it (and I think it's kinda stupid to hide it also - like, what are you trying to prove??).

But yeah, I'm also doing an accelerated course and did really well in my first assessment with no tutoring, but the reason I did so well is that I had a few one-on-ones with my teacher! Not like scheduled tutoring sessions, but just talking to her while she was on playground duty or even in class when the class is doing doing individual work. It really helped as she's literally the one marking so I can ask her for feedback and while she can't give me full on detailed draft marking, she can give me little pointers which I found insanely useful.

In conclusion: you don't need tutoring to do well from my experience, but make sure you get feedback from your teachers, and don't be afraid to ask questions! Interacting with them is seriously the best thing I've done for my marks.

Do the first lot of Year 12 marks 'really' matter?

I didn't do as well as I wanted in Maths and it's daunting as hell...the wieghting for my tasks was 20% - 35%

its the rank that matters not the mark
