No

why so competitive

 

[randomuser246]

Oh I will definitely gatekeep my trial papers from everyone, especially since everyone in my grade is watching my every move to see how I do so well at school. I plan on emailing it to my teachers or meeting up with them privately.

Seems like a plan! Another thing I'll update you on when the time comes!



With Mathematics Advanced, I did a trial paper every day or every second day. Teachers should understand that your accelerated subject is your priority and worst case, express that to them and reassure them that you will catch up soon after.

I didn't have to go to school the day before the exam, since that was procedure. Not sure about you though.

I didn’t go to school day before either and because I did religion as well I got some extra days off as well.

I think if my situation was different, I would share my resources. If I were to help my cohort, that would be like handing a knife or gun to an assassin that has been hired to terminate me.

Nice, I don't think I'll get any extras but I will have study periods at school (aka the periods where my Ancient class used to be)

Is your school a high rank though? Seems pretty competitive

Quick question: most people in my grade gatekeep EVERYTHING (including me sometimes) - so are ya'll going to openly give your trial papers to teachers or try being a little privi about it?

beg '23 to review it

I just make it competitive, haha. There's really only 3 of us who are fighting for the top and everyone else doesn't really care. My school's rank is 350-400 lol.

 

[AsuTeksu]

I'd rather rank first in all my subjects and have some control over the marks I'll end up with.

i'm not sharing my resources until after i grad in which case i'll give it to my rich cousins and to one other person who's helped me and then put it into a hard drive and head over to a rage room

Hmm gatekeeping it is then

Thanks I'll update as well!

My school never did this accelarated program, but I agree. Some teachers love to NOT help their students by never showing up 'catch up' as in on school work?

Some teachers never attend class and it is beyond frustrating... and yes, school work.

Guys does anyone know if Earth and Environmental Science heavily involves writing?
Coz from my experience at school (we did a bit of it at the end of y10) it does

If your talking about class work it all depends on you teacher, like mine prefers to do more online research task and just talking through concepts instead of writing notes in our books unless its something difficult to understand. I think the most amount of writing i did was for ees was for case studies, the syllabus in year 11, its not to difficult, also went really well with bio.

But for like exams their and HSC papers there is a bit of writing like you have to remember case studies and stuff and obv. know how to do a fair bit of extended responses. But there's also quite a few questions about interpreting graphs and data, so not all just writing.

That's what I've been thinking about... doing all subjects in one day is not possible on my end, but at the same time, limiting myself to one subject per day makes me feel like I'm setting myself back.

I could have a five day rotation where I do one paper each day, but that doesn't seem efficient...

I know most people aim for 2 subject per day, at the max 3 but I think 2 is more sufficient tbh

Hey ppl, has anyone used the books by Atar notes- Did you find it useful for questions and notes?

Got given some bio atar notes books by a year 12, the notes were not that great (I've seen better notes posted for free) and the questions were kinda trash, I did not use those books in term 1. You're better off trying to get questions from past hsc papers/trials because the atar notes tests are $40

The only reason I'm using the physics one is because my teacher gave us this stupid assignment (our third assessment task) which is literally just dot point summaries and example questions for every syllabus dot point from module 5 to module 7.

I genuinely hate my teacher for it because it's so boring and tedious.
