Yeah.. I mean your getting charged $40/hr for chem tutoring atm.. I'm not trying to advertise haha, but I charge $50 for 2 hours. Unless your chem tutor is OUTSTANDING ~ providing notes/unlimited online help, fantastic preparation, exemplary credentials.. i wouldn't waste my money.

By the way, do you go to a private tutor or a class/college?

wow, tbh that's really expensive for a tutor.. if you just look around this website you can get them for $25/hr and there are some really bright people on this site with 99+ atars. I'm not sure if their marks translate well to tuition, but they'd be worth a go. Yeah for me, I had one for...

Quality > Quantity IMO. It doesn't matter how many hour you spend studying.. but it does matter how many effective and smart hours you spend studying. It's important to understand what study method works best for you. Cramming was an effective technique for me, but perhaps for you.. you might...

I spent most of my time on chemistry -> ext 1 maths / ext 2 maths -> biology -> english. The only study i did for chemistry was attend weekly 2hr tutoring sessions at a college and then do the homework which would usually take me an hour or so. For ext 1 maths I would learn via mathsonline...

have you made your timetable? I have absolutely no idea how to do it.. I mean i've gone to the timetable page and entered my units, but it doesn't seem right.. my Wednesdays are extremelllyyyy long and there seems to be multiple clashes, are we supposed to go to everything on the timetable, or...

Study on regular days = 30 minutes to an hour, which would usually just be completing homework. Week leading up to assessment e.g. topic test, prac test etc = 3-4hrs a night on one subject. Two/Three weeks leading up to half yearlies/trials = 4 hrs a night, usually one subject a day. - I...

does that mean that a 93 in 4u is the same as a 98/99/100 in 4u in terms of its contribution to your ATAR?

75-80ish/120

not necessarily.. depends on the paper, but generally a 60/120 in 4unit isn't too hard to achieve.. I can't really talk lol, coz i f'ed my 4u paper, but yeah, for someone who puts in the effort 85 is easily achievable.. hence why about 75% of 4u students receive above 80.

Oh okay.. so your doing your HSC this year. Well, I'm doing either a Bachelor of Science (Advanced) or a Bachelor of Medical Science with aspirations go gaining entry into Medicine, either as a non-standard or via the post-grad method. You shouldn't worry about not knowing Physics.. physics is...

If by condensed formula you mean the "hexagonal" glucose monomers.. then yes. It's really good to know as, if there does happen to be a question about the structure of cellulose - a mark will probably be allocated to drawing the formation of two or more inverted beta glucose monomers to form...

yes.. 85 in 4u -> 45.4/50 scaled mark 95 in 2u -> 45.1/50 scaled mark.. according to talent100 calculator. But the ease of getting those marks are comparative aswell.. 85 in 4u is probably around 60-65/120 raw.. which is about 55% whereas a 95 in 2u is probably a 110/120 raw.. which is about 90%

Where are you studying Med Science? Because, there are different majors that you can choose - and those majors will effect what you study. In most majors, you don't need to know physics.. but biology and chemistry will be useful to know, as most majors delve into bio and chem, whereas I think...

just get the AAA scholarship, and it becomes preety easy only 95 ATAR req.

quite high i think. what course are you looking at transferring to?

+1.. the classic example is basically just to describe the procedure you did and justify why you did certain things. The one that comes up the most is the bromine water prac.. typical question: "Describe the procedure used to distinguish between cyclohexene and cyclohexane and justify the use of...

aha k. I'm sure you did, let me know how it goes once you get the notification. hopefully i'll see/meet you in the aspire program :)

ah okay.. not sure what university yet lol. either unsw or uws. But i'm planning on taking a 3day holiday over early May, and wondering if this would effect me heavily in terms of learning etc.. I'm aiming for a D/HD average.

Does anyone know what month/dates the uni exam period runs between?
