    Chemistry or Economics?

    I didn't take Eco but I did take Chemistry and I had a little peek at the new syllabus material from Matrix (lol) From what I saw, there are alot more calculations than long responses about the environment and whatnot Imo, I would take chem because I do know that Eco is heavy in content and...

    Notebooks

    For English, I would recommend using a thin binder folder imo bc you write less and receive more handouts For Sciences and Maths, I understand if you want to keep everything in a book but just get a 128 and buy another if you need it 200 is heavy and kinda unnecessary

    Favourite study food/snacks?

    I literally have a thermos bottle with warm water and a cup. Whenever I need a break, I sit and pour water, evaluating life.

    All nighters or wake early in the morning?

    Personally, all nighters are okay if I like the subject because then I don't mind staying up. I also like working early in the mornings, like 4-7am when its all quiet and you have the whole house to yourself in a way but I would say that it's best to sleep before 11 if you want to actually wake...

    Been slacking more than a decade - need advice (subjects, habits)

    Thankfully it's only Year 11 so nothing goes towards anything. I'm in the same position as you - going into Year 12 very soon and I think during the September holidays, you could revise some of the Year 11 content (especially things you are weak at) so you don't fall behind in Year 12. You...

    Sigilearners Hurstville

    Went there for a term in Year 11 and I actually thought it was quite good. The classes aren't that big and they go into detail with specific stuff but the homework is textbook work. I don't know if it's like that for Year 12 but textbook was a little ehh .. But's not bad, I would recommend.

    Year 10 Formal

    In my opinion, if you don't want to go and you don't mind being a little left out of formal talk with friends prior to and after the event, then you shouldn't have to force yourself. It seems like your friends will be talking about it for a while and that's also quite normal, so as long as you...

    Writing vs Typing notes

    Thanks! I'll most likely start by typing out my syllabus points in detail and then filtering out when I write it out so I can commit to memory and increase writing speed.

    Writing vs Typing notes

    Hey! Just wondering whether it is better to write or type out notes. I know that writing it helps to commit the content to memory but time-wise, it's probably better for me to type it so I was hoping to find out what the general consensus is. What do you guys do? :)

    Hey so I'm pretty sure I've made a post about this somewhere but I'm not sure where that went either LOL Anyways, for English, it usually has something to do with politics and when I did it last year, there were no narratives or creatives Instead you read an article and formulate some sort of...

    Tables & Graphs in Science exams

    Hey so my AT3s are next week and according to my past science exams, it seems like I can never get more than 2-3/5 marks for tables and graphs in science questions. Can someone clarify how to draw them and what to label because it seems like these skill-based questions are always dragging me...

    NSGHS > HGHS > SGGHS Nsg has more opportunities, with a lot of events that students can participate, along with lots of emphasis on rep sport, so morning trainings, spending actual money on jerseys and they have events such as Games Day, Trivia Night, Senior Dance and whatnot. I'm not too sure...
