    How Did You Write A Band 6 Essay?

    My introduction was short and sweet. My paragraphs didn't follow TEEL or whatever you want to call it exactly. I just put in as much evidence as I needed (using and integrating a LOT of quotes). My conclusions were laudable tbh. They hardly did anything except briefly (briefly) sum up my ideas...

    80-85 Atar with Standard English and General maths

    80-85 is definitely achievable so long as you put in the effort.

    Does WHERE you get your degree from really matter?

    This debate exists for a reason: it has some truth to it. Whilst it is by no means the only factor it's a big one.

    Your Opinion On "Back Up" Units

    I did maths a year early so that was a great backup. If your school offers acceleration, do it. I also did English X 1 and 2. Neither ended up counting towards my ATAR but they were fun. EX1 was a minimal workload and EX2 was finished ages before final exams so no biggie. I think the minimum...

    English Homework- yes or no?

    If you can get away with it, don't do hw questions. They're useless. Study the text yourself. Make detailed notes, compose essays and do practice ones. Without a doubt the hw I did for it never achieved anything. Doing essays is thought provoking and inspires originality.

    Does cramming work? Tell your stories and experiences.

    It helps if you've studied it to some extent at an earlier date. That way when you cram you're like, "oh yeah, I remember this."

    Should I transfer to Commerce/Laws from Economics/Laws?

    Purely from what I've heard, commerce is far more flexible in terms of employment. You can enter an incredibly broad range of work doing comm/law, but significantly less with eco/law.

    What rankings/marks needed for a 95+ ATAR?

    Internal marks don't matter so long as they are high relative to your cohort, but be ranked in the top 5 ideally. In the actual HSC exam, if you get 90 in each subject you'll get the 95 ATAR. BTW, your school ranking doesn't actually effect your mark. It's merely an indication of your school's...

    View on Drugs

    I found it hilarious when a dozen or so guys from my school started doing weed and insisted that they weren't addicted despite the fact they were bringing it to school and on ski trip. It was also funny to see the "smart" ones amongst them insisting that it wasn't jeopardising their HSC and then...

    Memorising/Copying Other Peoples Essays

    I advocate memorising essays so long as you have the ability to appropriately adapt your intro, topic sentences, links, etc. However, I think it's very dangerous to memorise someone else's especially if other people can do the same thing and also because your lack of understanding will make it...

    Out of interest, if you drop maths extension 2, do you have to pick up maths advanced?
