    Don't want to tell parents my atar

    They'll loose it if they find out the marks i'm getting right now. They think i've been doing excellent so far and have such high expectations of my atar. They have a lot of trust in me. They don't even ask for the paper when I get results back. They just ask how I went and I say, "I did great"...

    Don't want to tell parents my atar

    When applying for a course, will uni's want to contact your parents? I don't want my parents to find out my atar and was wondering if uni's will check with your parents first. How do you even go about applying for uni? What about paying fees? Would parents ever be able to find out your atar? I...

    Should I even bother with 2 unit maths?

    The problem is, my school won't let me drop maths. They always say this thing where, "Through statistics, students perform better with more than 10 units". I talked to the principle about this and they strictly said no. A student I know wanted to drop CAFS, our school wouldn't let him, so I...

    Should I even bother with 2 unit maths?

    No I won't, I wanted to get into a games development course - the atar cut off is 85 at UTS, which I am confident I can get into without maths.. :S I'm doing pretty well in all my other subjects

    Should I even bother with 2 unit maths?

    I agree, it is important maths is, but plenty of people have earned excellent atars without maths. It's just not my strongest subject, the school won't let me drop to general and it's too late to drop anyways. There's no way i'll be able to get above 50% for the maths exam tomorrow no matter how...

    Should I even bother with 2 unit maths?

    Yes that's what I mean...the atar only takes 10 units into consideration...your top best performing units..and maths is my worst subject so it shouldn't be included in the atar..right?

    Should I even bother with 2 unit maths?

    I have an assessment tomorrow which I am screwed for. I am literally expecting around 20%. This assessment is worth 25%, I have completed 50% of the course already for math, so that's 75%. I have screwed up math this entire year. For the first assessment, worth 25%, I got 23% and in the second...

    Is it took late?

    I pretty much stuffed up for almost all my subjects fo far. I was wondering if its still possible for me to get at least 80+ atar? I've completed 60-70% of weighting for all my subjects so far with a mark of around 30-40% each. I do 2unit math, physics, chemistry, business, standard english and...

    Lying about atar to parents?

    Thanks everyone so much for the advice haha, I will try my best from now onwards to achieve the best atar I can possible get but there always will be that, "Face it, do you really think you'll get 90+?" at the back of my head. I've come to a conclusion that if I don't get 90+ atar, then I will...

    Lying about atar to parents?

    Do you think I can lie about my atar to my parents? I have done incredibly bad so far and my parents expect above 90 atar for me. I screwed up my half yearlies and topic tests worth all together 50%. I know I will get only around late 70's to early 80's. I am thinking I should tell them that I...
