    Atar estimation please :)

    Gee, you're a ball of sunshine. Anyways, I really don't care about maths. I have 12 units, it gets dropped. Btw, you do know that tutor only works if you put in the work. Tutor - especially for maths is just adding another load of work onto your homework. More work = more practice = better...

    Biology not really. Physics and chemistry - yes; you need to know how to do calculations and also the reliability, validity, accuracy and variables stuff in experiments.

    I HATE my Legal Studies teacher!!!

    I'm in the same position. My legal teacher is really, really biased and he hates me. I have a feeling that he looks for my student number or just memorise my handwritting just so he could deduct marks. Its actually unfair because he marks easier on my friend's test who is like a suck up and...

    Atar estimation please :)

    Overall/cumulative ranks. Yeah I know, sad but lets face reality. And my understanding of ATAR is based on my teachers and they've been telling me a lot different, contradictory things so I just wanted to verify.

    Worst scaling subjects?

    Based purely on scaling, out of those three subjects biology would be the best. I can't say for pd or food tech but bio is really content based with a little bit of problem solving. However, i think the course is really good and some of the stuff you learn is pretty interesting. My friend did...

    Atar estimation please :)

    Got my trial marks back, can't say I'm too happy. I put these marks into the matrix ATAR calculator and was in for quite a shock. It said my ATAR would be 74 - so you can imagine how I feel. English Adv 90% (I'm very happy) - 7/72 Biology 75% (81% was the highest came like 3rd-ish) - 6/43...

    I hate the HSC

    I don't know about you, but the only thing making me happy right now is food. Here, you can just complain or vent about HSC. OR, you can just sympathise with me. I'm so depressed.

    Kind of depressed about HSC

    I'm in the same boat - marks are terrible, ranks probably dropped. But for now, just breathe and compose yourself. Study and kill the externals. Just think about getting a 99 or even 95+ ATAR and imagine all the faces of everyone who have doubted you.

    Teachers crossing the line

    Go to the head of that department. I'd be so pissed if that happened to me. Thats a breach of privacy; if they never asked you and just announced it to the class, then you have reason to plead your case. I'm sure its probably no big deal because you don't care about those 2 units but at...

    what issues are the most boring to listen to in mainstream discourse

    Ok, this might seem really bad but Aborigines. They're just so boring, always complaining and most of them are pretty rude.

    Compeition in Schools

    Its cut throat in my school. People try to sabotage others. Its like 5 min before you hand in an assignment "Oh I accidentally spilt my drink on your assignment. Sorry. Looks like you lose 20%" 5 mins before a maths test "Oh I just broke your pencil and a ruler - have fun drawing graphs!" I...
