    Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    I went for my pfizer last week and wasn't eligible apparently, so I got astrazeneca and felt a bit weak that night, but was all good (slight arm pain at the area). Government dealt with this so badly and it's still kinda funny that cops are extremely extremely biased as you see with the vids of...

    99.95 atar

    I feel like I learnt more from primary school english and early high school than year 11-12 english. I still don't think it should be compulsory in the HSC because year 12 english felt pretty useless. All it felt like to me was how good I could spew out bs about how the colour blue represents...

    99.95 atar

    Yeah it's kinda dumb that english is compulsory because I still don't see where you'll ever have to analyse a text, find themes of a book, or analyse quotes ever in your life unless you study an english degree. Not only that, english is compulsory yet there's millions of people that can't tell...

    Tutoring - Is It Necessary for the HSC?

    I had tutoring for physics but no, tutoring isn't essential for HSC

    Perm and comb Qs

    2nd one would be 7C5 to pick the males, then 1/2^5 for boys and 1/2^2 for girls = 21/128 (D) Haven't done this in a while though, but it seemed like binomial probability

    Doing Extension 2 Math Year 12

    Yeah legit everyone hypes up the HSC as the most important time of your life but if I could go back I would've 100% gave up study time to go earn money instead or do more extracurriculars rather than gain a couple extra atar points

    Doing Extension 2 Math Year 12

    For some reason 3u exams felt even easier than 2u HSC and felt really short (cos 4u made the 3u questions feel pretty easy) but I agree that it was more harsh to make silly mistakes

    Doing Extension 2 Math Year 12

    Skipped a few parts, I think I remember skipping 5-10 marks because I had no time (took too long thinking about stuff)

    Selective school

    If you're studying well enough to get a 99 ATAR u can get that in the lowest ranked school in the state or the best school in the state. Only difference may be the teachers (however best school =/= best teachers, most of them have tutors).

    School doesn't affect your atar

    Predicted ATAR and Marks

    You can check how many b6 your school got in each subject and put in approximate marks based on that. E.g. if 3 people get b6 in economics each year you can probably put a 90 into the atar calc for econ. If all 6 people get one for MX2 maybe you can put in a 95 for example.

    Should I do Actuarial studies?

    A few hrs each day but it's so hard to do that so I usually end up a few weeks behind every sem and have to cram every final LOL. Also it's especially hard to catch up once 3-4 weeks behind (which always happens somehow) because of assignments + midsems setting you back on catching up. It's so...

    Should I do Actuarial studies?

    No it's not impossible, I know people who didn't even do 4U and they're doing really well. The maths in actuarial studies isn't even pure maths like high school, it's more statistics, probability, financial maths, etc (which I ended up enjoying more). Also there's a lot of actuarial grads but u...

    Subjects for Yr 12

    I'd just do 10 units if you're confident in all of your subjects (that's what I did), avoids the time wasted studying another subject (which scales lower than the ones you chose so you'd need like 95+ in business/IPT for it to even count)

    study tips + motivation <3

    I guess change your pen and write more to practice, or change your pen grip. I used a really weird pen grip and pressed hard so I could only get like 800 words for each english essay (just an approximation).

    Transferring From WSU to Macquarie Uni By Next Semester...

    Agreed except that lots of people don't have a passion (including me), and we're just doing a degree that we "don't mind doing". Like for me I don't mind studying actuarial studies but it's not like I have a dying passion for it. Good luck on the transfer, should be fine since the transfer will...

    Is tutoring necessary?

    Tutoring isn't necessary but it definitely helps - just depends how effectively you utilise it (since tutoring is a tool to help you, not an automatic mark increaser)
