There's really just one logical answer to this personally. Any ranked higher than my own for reasons that are self-explanatory.

Personally, I reckon it's probably best to have a gradual yet consistent rise academically and pretty much hit your peak around the half-yearlies in Yr 12. It works well in theory...

Agreed. But I also reckon it involves realizing: "Shit, I had a pretty sweet deal before..."

Alternatively, come 1st in every subject and don't give a damn about those below you.

Attempting to do work and then subconsciously (albeit momentarily) convincing myself that I know it all and have no need to worry. :D

Try making the whole exam process (i.e. studying, etc.) almost detached and methodical. Limit displays of emotion.

Still, constant validation and encouragement can't hurt...

I agree with you completely. :uhhuh:

Yeah, thanks for that. I was actually hoping you'd answer the question seeing as you seem to know a lot about this stuff from the other "ATAR estimate" threads I had a look at. Awesome Byakuya avatar btw.

My year is really small, about 35 students and our school was ranked around #350 (%: 4.40) and our highest ATAR was 97.55. These are my current ranks: Ad English 1/10 Ext 1 English 1/2 Ext 2 English 1/2 Ancient History 1/4 Biology 1/4 Chemistry...

I've got a bit of problem with my MW. I've chosen the critical response medium but I also have a combination of creative aspects as well (i.e. short story). So my question is: Is my MW confined to the 5000-6000 words of the Critical Response Medium or can I claim that because it is...

I can wait. In fact, I really enjoy school right after we've finished exams or a series of assessments; its quite relaxed...

Well I maintain that it is physically impossible for me to fall asleep anytime before 11-11:30. Usually get up at around 7:30. Apparently the human body works best when sleep occurs in 90 minute cycles; i.e. 7.5 hours or 9 hours would be better than the conventional 8 hours.

Personally, I reckon the HSC has way too much hype surrounding it. Choose subjects that you have a natural flair for, study from time to time before exams, study harder right before exams, convince yourself that you will remember what is you studied harder for and hope you get a reasonable marker.

No timetable, its pretty arbitrary. I.e. "I should probably do some Maths revision now..." In terms of hours, there really is nothing to do from Monday to Thursday apart from school work.

Personally, it works really well while doing Maths. English = epic fail with music. Background/ambient music pretty good for the sciences I reckon.

I wouldn't say messed up but if I had my time over, I would have probably chosen to do Economics simply because of the whole financial crisis drama.

We've had to do several assessments, about 6 or 7 I reckon. Lowest mark 95%. Still perfect in Chemistry and 4 units of English.

Not really sure how much in terms of the state but I think for everyone, some subjects don't feel like study at all whereas with others you're pretty much just "clock-watching" the entire time. But hours of study do not necessarily equate to awesome results; personally I only reckon I do well...
