Countdown + Atar Reveal 2025 (1 Viewer)

Yeppp UNSW so I'm looking forward to having you in my cohort! Haha I didn't do E2 maths either, so you might need to ask someone else I can, however, help you with economics. Eco is my fave, and I'm glad you're developing an interest in it!

I assumed you did e2 for some reason my bad... ALSO YOUR ATAR IS ACTUALLY INSANE??? Can i ask what you got in e1 maths?

 

[f7eeting]

Hahaha real. I used to want to do medicine until I realised I HATED bio, so I wanted a super high atar too.

STOPP ME TOO???? 1 week into year 11 biology and i immediately realised medicine was nottt for me

 

[ermguys]

mechanical engineering!! but ive also been considering a math degree!

slay i can already tell ur gna do so well :3

Haha nw, I actually did e2 for a while but I decided to drop it instead of one of my other subjects, bc I was too attached to all of them lol

Thanks! I got 47 in e1, so not that impressive, but I'm happy with it

Exactlyyy,,, learning about ecosystems and plants was so lame

yes... another science hater.... one of us...

The turning point for me was when they laid out a sheep's insides for us to dissect... Bio was actually fun tho

Girl i got 43 so you’re all good
I genuinely am fearing for my life for ACTL next year, because idk if I’m smart enough right now. I couldn’t get a band E4 in E1 and so many people say doing well in 3U and 4U is a necessary benchmark. Did you also not understand some concepts in extension 1? Like I knew the basic stuff of everything but when it came to specific questions with vectors, geometric proofs, combinatorics, etc. I was lost asf.
I’m thinking of doing something else out of fear lol
I also kinda don’t deserve gateway because I don’t financially match the circumstances of most kids in gateway (low income area + good educaiton) .... so sometimes I fear I have no reason to be doing actl

oh wow.. the worst i ever did was dissect a fish. and even that was too much for me

43 is still pretty good! I actually got a 46 exam mark, but my internals were higher. I don't think alignment was very good for e1 this year. I also struggled with vector applications a lot so dw. I think e1/e2 maths can be "cheated" by spamming tons of practice questions and attending literal bootcamps like Du and Kurt, but they are extremely difficult in nature.

If it helps, I know a girl who barely scraped a b5 in maths adv, but did actl and is now in a trading firm. I really don't think HSC maths is a great benchmark for future performance in the subject, and if you're willing to put in the work and passion, then you should be fine.

Take the offer if it's given to you! Plenty of people get into actl with even lower ATARs

one day they randomly wheeled in a bunch of sheep organs and got us all to stand around and look at it... so random

 

[Study to success]

yes... another science hater.... one of us...

Add me too

 

[Study to success]

DO REMOTE LEARNINGGG U GET EXTRA ATAR POINTSSS SO WORTH ITTT

I should have done the whole hsc via remote learning cause it’s not like going to school is even helping me lol

 

[barnyard]

the random bullshit we do in E1 like projectile motion and vectors

so why are we hating vectors so epic #vectorproofs4life

what the fuck im acually so jealous. i got a 44 just cause i missed one question

 

[justletmespeak123]

omg i 100% agree projectile motion and vectors is so boring im glad somebody thinks the same

projectile motion is the best.
vectors are boring af tho

 

[f7eeting]

projectile motion is the best.
vectors are boring af tho

maybe its bc i just started projectile motion but so far it's just plugging variables in and rearranging to get whatever the question wants
pls tell me it gets more fun than that

the funnest question is the 2025 projectile motion question. i thought id get an e4 from doing that question correctly but i missed out by like 2 marks on other questions cause of simple mistakes

 

[melanie_o]

I was just sad that they didn't award marks for deriving the equations of motion . Dumb blondes like me need all the help they can get .
