Major Works (2 Viewers)

[ReyesDaRoof]

What I wanted to know is: Is it humanly possible to do 2+ major works in your HSC year and still get a decent ATAR (90+)? I ask this through deliberation to what I have chosen, and what I desire to do for the next couple of years, which would be visual arts, design and tech, and english extension 2.
Thank you.

Yes it is possible but you need to have good time management.

Hey I'm sure you'll do fine if you allocate appropriate time+effort.

You may want to look at this timetable from the board of studies - http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/events/pdf_doc/hsc-2013-practical-performance-dates.pdf

From what I can see design and technology and visual arts are due on the same day. You're going to have to manage your time extremely well.

Yep!

My girlfriend did 4 major works (Music 2, Music Ext, VA, Extension 2 English) and got 99.4 in the end. It's just a matter of dedication

Multiple 96s+ - her dedication got her places. Her other 2 units were Modern History which she got 97 for. It really just goes to show that if you choose what you like doing you'll still excel.

I have 4 major works, Visual Arts, Textiles & Design, Extension History and Extension 2 English, and I'm doing really well in all of these classes (ranked 1st and 2nd), so its really all a matter of time management and loving what you're doing

No reason why you can't blitz two prac subjects.
The secret is organisation, get started early, keep working and stick to a time plan.
Don't procrastinate.
Also, talent will help!

Yes. Usually most of your classwork will be towards your major project - which will make it a lot easier.
