This is like, legit the best line ever. Alright here goes "Hey, I just met you and this is crazy, but here's my number, call me maybe"

If Tempe is the HS you're thinking of, then my advice is to steer well clear and consider something else. A poor ranking school will have a minimal impact on your ATAR, however, you yourself have the most significant impact on what your results will look like. So dont let that stop you from...

It depends how many marks it's worth - a 20/25 mark essay should always be around 1,000 words or about 4-6 pages of a HSC book.

The recommended length is a guide more than anything else - it isnt a strict rule nor will markers penalise you for not getting exactly 8 pages. That being said, for a Modern or Legal essay, you cannot write 500-600 words and expect to get a Band 6. Quality over quantity is a thing, but you...

On this, talking to people in the industry can give you an idea of what qualifications you need for certain roles. In some fields, a TAFE qualification might be all you need, whereas it might be insufficient for others. For instance, with HR, you can get into the industry with Cert IV TAFE...

A few of my mates stack shelves at Coles and the pay is pretty decent ($20.2 per hour). Added to that all the penalty rates for weekend work and it's a pretty decent part time uni job. However, I'd look to move on towards the end of uni to an internship or something a little more relevant to...

High five for HR - definitely a growing industry with good prospects. The only negative is breaking into the industry, which is extremely difficult given its circular nature (i.e. 80% of entry level jobs require experience of some kind). Dont let that stop you because the truth is, it's hard...

Universities only really look at the ATAR in terms of admissions - they dont look at subject breakdowns.

The biggest con about this kind of a degree is that there isnt really a specific career avenue for it (like becoming a Lawyer for Law students). However, a bachelor's degree is a qualifier for a range of professions. In your degree, you should decide roughly where you want to go and start...

If your wrote three to four good paragraphs, then that should be good for 10-15/25 provided that the points are good. So you arent stuffed completely. However, this should demonstrate the importance of spreading your time equally across all sections of the exam, because I bet an extra 10 or so...

It's chalk on the floor - who cares.

This is very applicable to all things, not only medicine. Having great social skills is only ONE part of being successful in any interview. A job/scholarship/medicine interview is an exercise in salesmanship and you are the product. You need to be an expert at selling yourself and part of...

That's the sickest - I'm jealous.

Did you manage to get some of your friends onboard?

The links arent always hard and fast, but going back to principle beliefs as TrentsUnicorn has pointed out is probably best. In the context of a question, sometimes you might find different ways to link each to the question without necessarily linking them together (which isnt a necessity).

It's a little late but drop it - if it you are doing poorly in it then it isnt likely to count, meaning that you are wasting your time with it.

Doing ECs can actually help with your school work, because it can act as a healthy distraction. You dont want to be consumed with HSC/school work 24/7, it's important to do other activities. Think of it as an investment - you are investing time in order to get more out of yourself during your...

Drop the weakest out of Maths and Multimedia.

1) If you think you can improve in english, give EE1 a go. It's a good backup unit because it can count over Advanced if you do poorly in the subject. 2) Go with Modern, teachers arent really much use in History beyond marking essays (having a great teacher is a plus, but you can learn History...

Pretty much on the money. When going for a scholarship or job, it's not so much what you have done, but what you have gained. You need a bit of breadth to your experiences, but mostly you need to have gained experiences which can help you address those questions. If they ask you a question...
