    What should I do guys

    Use the next 3 weeks wisely, and once you get back to school, don't be scared to ask your teachers! They can tell when you're putting effort in and many of them will be willing to give you extra help to catch up. Believe it or not, most of them became teachers because they genuinely like...

    How to memorise your Essays

    Basically - coloured highlighters. (If you're lucky enough to have a visual memory.) Also, make sure you're actually writing your own essays... if you're casually plagiarising bits and pieces from everywhere, it'll be a lot harder to recall in the exam.

    What's the point of learning the syllabus off by heart?

    A lot of the time, the wording of questions is taken straight from the syllabus. Obviously it's in your interest to be familiar enough with the syllabus that you aren't surprised by these questions and know exactly what you have to say to answer them. But there's no point in sitting down and...

    Play the sport... TBH you probs won't use that 4 hours studying anyway so you may as well get some exercise.

    Holiday Study Habits

    TBH getting Hist Ext sorted out is one of the best things to do over holidays/Term 1...saves you from having to do your whole major work 24 hours before it's due, which isn't really a lot of fun.

    HSC Result Check - Do they do anything?

    If they didn't charge for clerical rechecks, every student in the state would want one because their marks were worse than they expected. This way it's only people who truly think something was wrong with their marks (or are really rich, I guess) and are willing to pay the fee.

    For all those who got 90+ ATARS....

    Do about 2 hours of school work a week all year. Start studying 48 hours before each exam. ?????? Profit.

    What about this problem:

    Seriously? Most of the first few days of any year is just people running around getting classes sorted and stuff anyway. It will have absolutely no impact except for possibly missing a few "you're in senior school now, 9 hours of study a day is expected" lectures from your teachers.

    What happened in Economics?

    Yeah, my eco exam mark was 8 below my school assessment mark. I knew that walking out of the exam though, because I was so unprepared and messed up both the essays. I think it was a pretty fair exam though.

    HSC MARKS + optometry , pharamacy as future career

    ^ Yep, pharmacy is not a good career to be looking at at the moment - MASSIVE oversupply of grads and conditions in Chemist Warehouse for pharmacists aren't great. (Sorry, unsolicited advice! But I just know a lot of pharmacy students are finishing their degree and then changing careers...

    Where do we go to get some support???

    Honestly, I don't know anyone who has missed out on their uni course and is still upset about it 1 or 2 years later. Whether it's travelling, working, studying something completely different - you will find something you love and enjoy. Sounds lame, but "when one door closes, another opens." And...

    How are HSC all rounders determined?

    Yeah, from the wording it sounds like it's any 10 units. Congrats on your band 6s. :)

    Could my mark be a mistake? exactly the same score for two subjects?

    IMO it sounds like your school just marked easy for drama...still worth checking it with BOS for your peace of mind though.

    my exam mark and accessment mark has too much of a difference!!!!

    If you truly think your exam mark should be higher, you can apply for a clerical results check: http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=272941 However, you probably just didn't do as well in the exam as in your assessments. Happened to me for economics. :(
