ay_caramba said:lol i figured my earlier reply wasn't really helpful, so i came up with a few tips for getting 90+ in all subjects (although im a bit of a dodgy source and a slacker, but hey):
* do subjects u enjoy or are interested in!!! this is very, very important, because it honestly helps u to pay attention in class! i knew all along that ancient history didnt scale well but i did it anyway, coz i am seriously in love with the subject.. i still recite caesar and pompey quotes to my little brother and he gets pretty scared of me.. i ended up getting 98% for ancient
* figure out a studying method that works for u! if making colourful notes for all ur subjects helps u remember, then do it! but if ur like me, and u feel that just reading the notes is fine (and u can remember what u read), then u dont have to make notes!! i find that whenever i tried to make notes, i ended up writing exactly what was in my text books, so i didnt make any notes at all!!! none.. it was great
* know every dot point in every subject! if u dont know something, just ask ur teacher! even if it sounds stupid, heck just do it!
* umm.. have a life!! seriously. if u leave the house during/before the hsc, u will NOT fail. it is not the law. i went to a wedding the weekend before my hsc.. and if u feel u have studied enough , go ahead and watch tv! i watched my soaps during the hsc exams! its ur life!
* just try the best u can, dont stress! seriously, what will u get out of it!? go into the exams confidently and just attack the papers
umm... woww what an essay ive written, ahaha dont read this if u dont want to.. i'm no expert at this! just do what works for u
just wanted to say congrats to all those ppl who achieved their hsc goals, and best of luck to the 2005 HSCers!! woohoo!

oh wow.....im an inspiration to someone.......wat an honour......thanku mr stranger...Sheehan :) said:i just gotta say that anyone who got above 90 is an inspiration to me
ok ok i get it allready.,.. past papers alright..... past papers... i think its stuck in my head.....past papers.....SpoRTsGaL said:I can post here now! I've been waiting for this for so long .
I got 92 in Ext 1 Maths , and I did the following:
*I worked ahead of the class (now is a good time... finish the course in these few weeks, and even if you forget what you learnt, it'll come back to you when you do it again in class... but if you want to keep remembering it, do past papers (the best form of study))
*If you use Maths In Focus, I recommend getting another book, such as Fitzpatrick, because Maths In Focus has questions that are too easy. The book is good to start off with, but if you want to tackle the course, you need harder questions, and the Fitzpatrick book is the best for it.
*Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers
*Use these forums if you need help, and also ask your teacher for help.
*Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers
*Do your homework and stay ahead of the class
and finally
*Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers Past papers
I hope I helped.
I don't know how many hours per night you should study, but it is quality of study, not how many hours you do.
Thanks for listening.
I think i'll also start doing some practice essays.... its just so boring... especially when at times no matter how much effort u put in for some reason u remain stuck on that 79% if u get what i mean....lifeguardlisa said:I haven't read the entire thread so this may have been said before but...
With English ie practise essays/questions...
In the beginning of yr 12 and all of yr 11 I would avoid doing these because a whole essay just seems too hard to do for homework, and then in class I would do badly...but a teacher told me that with practise essays/questions or even marked ones in class, it doesn't have to be a perfect masterpiece...
This really helped me. Writing lots of mediocre essays for practise ended up boosting my score. You just say to yourself..."It's just an essay, its just getting your opinions and feelings out on these pages in front of you. It doesn't have to be brilliant, but you have to do it so you might as well start."
I got 91.3...I'm not really a "study" type person but things like that got me through..eh..hope this helps.
I did 4unit math and taught myself everything in all the course, and let me say as long as you have motivation this is quite a simple task.physician said:umm yeh.. i'd juts like to ask a question... how did u manage to understand the course on ur own?... like didn't u face any difficulty?... and i mean its extension maths.... so yehh.. i was juts curious...
