No its not tbh its only a lot of work whilst learning after that its nothing

for me, biology was always really tough because on top of learning all the content (which there is just a staggering amount of) you had to know how to structure responses nearly word for word too
dont get me wrong though, i loveeed bio, the content was super interesting but the fact that just knowing the content well wouldnt even get me above 70% really discouraged me

 

[f7eeting]

I often overwrite so much that someone smart who did a minimal amount could probably get the same marks

i struggled with that too except i didnt get good at all lmao...

 

[f7eeting]

I wonder if sleeping at 9 but waking up at 2 or 3 is a better alternative to working until 12.......

both are pretty bad and i dont think you'll get very high quality work done if you did that...
is it possible for you to sleep at 11 and wake up at 6? that feels like a fair compromise

I am doing subjects that primarily focus on writing, but recently a teacher rant caught my thinking.

My maths teacher is adamant that I am staying in advanced, because "I did great on the prelim (63%), that's second in the class"

I keep explaining to the teacher that I want to devote the majority of my effort and time into 4U English, History Extension etc, and that I find maths advanced boring and not useful for the degree(s) I want to pursue later down the track:

Either B Security Studies @ MQ, B Politics, Philosophy and Economics @ UNSW, or B Education (Secondary) @ UOW/UNSW/USYD

Is it worth pursuing this conversation about dropping to standard maths with my teacher? Or do I accept defeat, extort myself for a tutor and lock in?

For reference I am currently ranked 7/35 in the cohort after the 1st assessment task.

bruh I literally got 63% in my prelim and that was like 40 something ranked and the head teacher was like if u get a 75% below u should drop to std

FYI my school did not get a band 6 in any mathematics course in the 2025 HSC

 

[Study to success]

btw do you know if you are in standard or not?

I still need to get the form, but first I need to talk to my teacher so then the same thing with what happened with dropping bio last term doesn't happen again. Then I need to get it signed and stuff. I'm getting my adv task 1 assessment back tmrw too but even if I pass I'm still dropping cause it's just not worth the pain

 

[WTbattleace]

Not even standard? I've only seen people in standard get competitive Atars with really high marks (as it is generally easier (still shares like 30 percent of the course with adv) and way more people do the course). If nobody is getting a band 6 stay in advanced (rank 7 is pretty good) or drop down to standard if you have made up your mind that you will be the first to get a band 6.

Yep, no B6's or E4's across the entire mathematics faculty last year

This isn’t even much. If u looked at 2024 we chatted way more

Hheheheh
How was bro in the hsc chat in 24 and 25

 

[TheEliteTitan]

Guys if u urself has tiger parents or u know people who do can u complete the form or send it to people who have tiger parents

Tiger parents huh
My parents would just waive this off and scream at me to go and study not be useless

 

[TheEliteTitan]

Stay in adv I believe, it has better scaling and your rank will help. As long as you keep your rank high ish the marks do not matter too much.

It’s only like 0.2 points better
Like english

So do u have tiger parents? If u do pls complete my form

 

[ALolly]

@ALolly Say you were 6 weeks away from chemistry and physics exams. What would you be prioritising at this point?

i would probs focus on learning all the content properly in the first 2 weeks or so then just focus on doing questions

 

[ALolly]

thankss good luck to you too for whatever you're doing
