Hi, This is mainly towards those who achieved a 90+ ATAR but anyone feel free to answer. At this point in the year (13 days till first English Exam) did you guys know basically all you need to for all your subjects. I am freaking out cause I need a 90+ ATAR and there is so much to remember still. Thanks

Yes but there is one difference between needing to learn things from scratch or just having to read it again to memorise it. If it’s the first you’re probably screwed, if it’s the second then that is okay

Yeah that’s fine. I changed up a lot of my essays after trials and acfually memorised one of them 2 days before the exam. English you can do that but stuff like maths etc probably not

Ye feeling ok for maths except I need to work on improving those last questions, which is hard because they seem to be different every year.

Yeah for that just got to make sure in the earlier questions you get close to full mark there and then just hope for the best in the last few

13 days is still quite a bit of time for you to complete as many past papers as possible. I believe at this point, you should probably stop memorising your notes and start applying them to past papers since the HSC isn't simply regurgitation of your notes.

Every time you mark a paper, find out which section you're weakest at and make sure to review them instead of just memorising and reviewing every thing.

Don't panic and a 90+ ATAR is definitely within reach.
Goodluck :)

There is a lack of past papers for the Science subjects because of the new syllabus, any suggestions?

That's the thing lol, I've been doing past papers and feel like there are some aspects that I have forgotten as a result (because past papers don't test in all aspects). This is why I don't know if I should continue doing past papers or read over my notes and memorise.

Actually, I read this study that explored something called "active procrastination" where Korean kids would purposely leave their study late so they could work in a pressured environment.
