    help me decide on a career to old to mess around anymore haha

    Really? I messaged UAC recently as I was wondering if ATAR scores expire, they said: "Your ATAR result does not have an expiry date. When applying for study it is the decision of the institution/s whether they take your ATAR qualification into consideration for eligibility into their course."...

    Theory about cramming.

    I don't have my HSC this year but I've found that even though I might get say 80% without studying much at all, it is still worth it to cram before the exam because then I end up with 90%+ (if 80% was my average mark, for example). Because sometimes you just won't remember everything so it's...

    i need advice

    Well, what's causing you two to argue? You need to find the root of the problem. Then depending on that, you should try and solve the issues, or otherwise, it may be best to leave and find someone you are more compatible with. EDIT: Also if she bitches about you online.. I think she is acting...

    which subject would be better?

    (example) Say I got a mark of 85% in biology, with a rank of 15 / 68 would that be better (in terms of scaling and all that stuff) than getting: a mark of 85% in business studies, with a rank of 5 / 95? which would be better? with business cohort being generally weaker, biology being...

    How long does your atar last?

    How many years until you are unable to apply to a university with your atar? Also is it harder to apply and get in if you didn't use it the year you got it? (this is what I heard).

    Are you proud of going to your school?

    Ashamed? Not really.. but I don't feel 'proud' either. My school is probably one of the better schools in my area, I guess. But the ranking is not so great, teachers are not so great either (they seem to employ literally anyone, including those who can barely speak english), spend so much of...

    How hard will it be for me to get at ATAR of 75 + with these subjects? StartingYear12

    Re: How hard will it be for me to get at ATAR of 75 + with these subjects? StartingYe Really depends on how you learn, the subjects etc. but in general, I'd say for each subject maybe half an hour a day, or at least for the subjects you had that day. I think 3 - 4 hours is ideal. But again...

    How hard will it be for me to get at ATAR of 75 + with these subjects? StartingYear12

    Re: How hard will it be for me to get at ATAR of 75 + with these subjects? StartingYe You can get any ATAR with any subjects. Only thing out of your subjects is that you have to do very well in Standard English because usually that pulls you down. If you averaged around 80% then maybe if your...

    Remembered my latest ranks. Need ATAR Estimate. Thanks.

    You can't blame others for everything. Yes, bullying can affect your marks - if you let it. I've been bullied too, in my junior years of high school this included verbal, physical, and sexual assault. as a result I became withdrawn, anxious and depressed, and furthermore struggled to socialise...

    What could be some measurable data in this experiment?

    Thanks for your help! I think I will use that idea instead. Only thing though, where do you think I could obtain the light intensity meter/whatever to measure the intensity with?

    What could be some measurable data in this experiment?

    For agriculture we have to do an at-home experiment relating to plants and the effect of light. I wanted to do: "Does light effect the direction of plant growth?" with the hypothesis being: "The plant will grow towards the light source". I need to include measurable data. I can only think of...

    Is a 99.95 ATAR achievable with the following?

    Yes of course with any subject you can get it. The way to it is not picking certain subjects that you think will bring a higher atar, rather picking what you like and most importantly working your best in it.

    Could I do this topic for CAFS IRP?

    I was going through topics I was considering to do, and sort of started briefly. But I realised I didn't have much motivation because I couldn't find something I was actually interested in. Then I came up with this topic, I would like to know if it is related enough to CAFs, can I use it? "Poor...

    Would you rather a 99.95 atar or $18000 and a 60 atar?

    99.95 - because then I can go study anything and make money after finishing uni when I work. Plus you get an experience of going to uni. Wheras 60 atar is not high enough for what I want to study, and if I had a job I'd make 18k in a few months..

    What to do to get the best results in yearly report?

    Well I'm not sure about maths because I don't do maths and almost never studied it in junior years. :P I guess though you would just be familiar with the forumlas, and do lots of practice questions. Maybe it will help if you put yourself if an exam situation? That is, get some practice...

    What to do to get the best results in yearly report?

    I'm the same. This usually helps me: - when you feel restless, such as every 20 minutes, take a 2 min break. Have a drink. Check Facebook. Whatever. But don't let yourself get too absorbed. Get back to studying. - use different study methods. People learn differently - maybe you can find videos...

    How can I do better in English (advanced)?

    I am doing English Advanced and it is my worst subject. For year 11 I had an exam rank of 18 / 70 and a course rank of... 53 / 70. I have no idea how to improve. I want to be in at least top 8. In things like essays I always studied essays I found online that got high/full marks. I use quotes...

    Is it better to type or hand-write notes?

    That really depends. If you summarise your notes every day after school, you should write them out. Then a few weeks before exams, type them up so you can read from them. I find writing them does take time however for me I can remember the content better. Of course, this shouldn't be your only...

    What university are you going to?

    I want to do psychology at UNSW. Maybe bachelor of psychological science. UNSW because my boyfriend goes there so I'll have more chance to see him more often since we live 1.5 hour apart and also because it is prestigious. It may not be to others but it's important to me. I mean if I had to I'd...
