I don’t tutor math, I tutor bio and English but I think that this way of teaching is not correct. I don’t think it is fair to you who is paying a private tutor to just have someone read definitions and not have any lesson plan. I personally think that if you feel you are not benefiting from the...

You may think you don’t need chemistry, but it will come up in uni during the first couple years!

Hey there, I think honestly with the marks and ranks you have now, it is still possible to get an atar above 90. However, it will take a lot of hard work and perseverance! I graduated last year with an atar above 95 and did food technology and biology. It is currently holidays, so if you are...

Medicine is still possible! How are you doing in bio and English? Sometimes our year 11 marks are completely different to year 12!

Oh that’s great news! Don’t worry too much about writing, I was a bit scared for HSC because mine wasn’t the best, but it worked out totally fine!

Glad I could help! Good luck :)

Ok, I briefly looked at the assessment notification. I see that there will be a question and other things given to you on the day. So I think, that if you really really want to memorise, it is best to come up with one generic piece that fits roughly into a main idea that can be found in every...

250-300 words is very little for advanced. What is the mark ratio eg, is the creative 10 and the reflection 10?

I personally have never seen an informative be asked for. In terms of creative and discursive you could make a hybrid text that fits into both catergories and slightly modify in exam to fit into which ever. For instance, for discursive add some rhetorical questions or some asides and for...

Hey! I know people often say that memorising for creatives is really difficult. However I managed to get 14/15 for my trial creative and 93 in my HSC. I think the best way to do this is to find a common theme throughout each stimulus and write a good generic creative and reflection. Then write...

Hey! I did the HSC last year and got a band 6 in English advanced and tutor English advanced. From my experience I personally think getting your final quote and analysis down for the last paragraph and trying to link that analysis to the question should be fine. It is better to skip that...

Hey there, I am a bit late to this thread, however I think it is important to learn the syllabus in order. It is in that order for a reason. I also think that starting from the beginning whilst juggling class may be a little difficult but in the end it will be worth it. I personally had a...

I think it is 100% possible to still get an atar that is above 80. You don’t only have your school assessments to get through but also HSC which plays a huge part!! In fact, the subjects you are doing - despite the school you go to can still work in your favour. I went to a school which is below...
