Re: ✨✨2019 HSC Students Discussion Thread✨✨ Wow.. we must be twins :') I was actually considering a Bachelor of Commerce course too HAHHAAH~ Unsure which uni has the best commerce course though. I'm pretty 2U mathematics is enough for most financial courses!

Re: ✨✨2019 HSC Students Discussion Thread✨✨ I actually did since I did pretty poor in preliminary exams + wanting to keep to keep up with everyone who's going tutoring lol I'm not studying too hard though, just limiting it to 1-2 hours oof math and physics. It is the holidays after all!

I feel so happy. Guys, if you ever feel hopeless or disheartened from your marks/ranks, don't give up! My physics rank in semester 1: Bottom 10 Final ranking: Top 10 (rank #9) I originally felt so discouraged after seeing my semester one ranking and felt tempted to drop. But after staying and...

Thank you for your encouragement! It helped a lot and I will my best to improve and stay confident when year 12 starts haha. It's good to know that it's normal to fail and it's never too late to improve. I think it's a combination for me: I make lots of silly mistakes in the exams especially...

The whole course is actually a major project/depth study, where you have to produce a formal scientific research report. So you can't really study for this or take notes but you can consider planning an idea of your topic, research question, hypothesis etc. Remember that the report has to be...

Hi! Fellow year 12-soon-to-be here! I think it's really important that we take time to relax during these holidays, especially after those 3 daunting terms. We need to regain our energy after all! If you don't relax, there's a greater chance you will burnout later. It is the worst state to be...

Haha, you're actually not late! Made it just in time as my physics exam is next Monday. Anyway, thank you so much for your advice! I had no idea the old syllabus papers still had some use, so I will check out those especially the Sydney Grammar ones.

How are everyone's preliminary exams going? I have two exams left on Monday (Physics and Business studies, yikes) and then I'm done ^^ Also, is there any hope to improve in 3U math even if you fail the year 11 yearly exam? I just had mine today and I'm quite disheartened... Considering whether...

The last term of year 11 is pretty daunting, especially since we're now edging closer to preliminary exams. Been trying to prepare and stay on top of my homework the best I can haha. Other than that, I would say it's just been a normal term really. Though quite scared that we're all entering our...

I sadly don't go to a selective high school. My school's ranking is actually in the 300s ^^; But our prinicipal is willing to run it as long as there are enough students interested. I think around 10-15 students in my year group signed up.

Haha I actually considering taking science extension but decided not to in the end :x I'm already doing 3U maths and I think doing two extensions is quite daunting. Perhaps others can handle it but I know I personally can't handle the workload at all. Though, I think it is truly a good...

It will be hard to ask my teacher for help since they're on leave for a few weeks next term. But I will try to at least email for help and resources! I have never thought of the extra classes suggestion, I will consider that. Thank you for the suggestions!

Hey guys, So I'm in year 11 right now and I'm currently ranking in the bottom 10 of my cohort. :frown2: I am very grateful that I am not ranking last but I'm still disheartened. This holidays, I want to spend time studying and hopefully climb up the rankings. I already thought of...

Hey guys! Wow, this forum seems to be a little quiet but that's because we're all busy right? haha So the first term of year 11 is almost ending. How is everyone finding year 11 so far? My thoughts: Well... that was quite a big jump from year 10. A lot of new changes, especially the...

Hello guys! So with school coming in less than a month now (gosh), I started preparing ahead for subjects. But I'm a bit lost on how to, especially since the majority of them are undergoing syllabus changes :S Here are my subjects: English Advanced - I'm okay with essays but creative writing...

I think that strategy will help me very much in procrastination, which I have big problem with too. Thank you so much, I will try my best to apply these tips! :D

Happy new years everyone! :jump: So I'm going to start year 11 in a month and don't get me wrong, I'm excited to finally do all the subjects I'm interested in! But I'm scared that I will have stress problems during the next 2 years... I did an acceleration course and I suffered through...
