its fine tho ive done 30+ already i hope i havent forgotten anything tho...

i did 20 something before the hsc and then i forgor my polymers 3 weeks later

 

[carrotsss]

i havent done chem for like 3.5 weeks now

same im really counting on it sticking with me, at least I have enough time for like 18 more papers before hsc which should be plenty to get back up to speed

 

[carrotsss]

@synthesisFR idk what happened to ur replies just then but yeah its only around a 3.5 scaled mark difference (or 1.75 per unit) from 90 to 95 aligned in 4u, so that almost 20 raw mark range is the same as like 3 raw marks in english (or less depending on where the english mark is)

guys i just stumbbled across a hsc course called Financial Services and its only 80 marks and seems quite easy, and it scales like crazy, like better than chem, phys, and mx1. there are like 80 people who do it and people get 99.95 atar contributions.
what are your thoughts on this?

The highest ATAR in it last year was 99.1, and it only contributed a 99.95 equiv for likely one person last year (source: scaling report). The reason for this one exceptional scaling was likely just that one person (or a couple people) in that cohort did quite well in other subjects, by nature of the small cohort it’s more dependent on individuals and so it’s not really reliable at all.

 

[carrotsss]

it seems to have had a better aligned->scaled conversion than phys chem (def not mx1/2 though) but thats not super representative of the whole process

 

[HazzRat]

I think I need a bit of accountability so I'll put my to-do lists for the rest of the week here:

Wednesday
1C from ext 2
Chap 17 chapter review from year 11 ext 1
SOR II Aboriginal spirituality notes

Thursday
1A and 1B from ext 1
USSR consolidation of power notes
Eco notes up to date plus find good case studies/examples online

Friday
Probably finish 1C from ext 2 or begin 1D
1C and 1D from ext 1
Begin analysis of Kenneth Slessor poems (common module), focusing on raw techniques and analysis as opposed to greater meaning

THIS PLAN LOOKS SO SOLID CAN'T WAIT TO B6 BIO AND CHEM

Today was a bit mehh tbh
I didn't finish the HSC bio paper and got very distracted after lunch...


Will need to scrap the morning bio study and finish the paper instead, then mark it take a break and possibly swap around the Chem and bio papers I'll work it out tomorrow...

 

[HazzRat]

I didn't get up to religion. Just did today's math. I think I work a lot better with exam pressure in the near future but with barely any exams this term I'm really not feeling it. Anyway, tomorrow more humanities study, less math, and certainly less BoS. I'm just gonna turn my wifi off so I don't constantly check it + I vow to never go on that Israel/Palestine thread again - it's a cesspool.

 

[mmmmmmmmaaaaaaa]

need to be on that grind cos even tho i did chem + bio today i didn't do as much as i hoped for cos i was watching 2 episodes of a show i really like

what show?

 

[Masaken]

what show?

only murders in the building

 

[carrotsss]

why did everyone stop doing this thread

 

[unforgettable]

why did everyone stop doing this thread

2 possibilities

1. everyone is focusing on their hsc
2. instead of focusing on their hsc they're arguing politics

3. everyone is doing nothing and therefore have nothing to post

THIS PLAN LOOKS SO SOLID CAN'T WAIT TO B6 BIO AND CHEM

Because @carrotsss wanted us to use this thread again, I'm up to Sunday the big bio grind. I literally don't have a plan today except for to through every module booklet that I have and make notes on the topics I need to revise, and then I'll go find HSC questions on them and practice tf out of the topics...

I'll also hopefully make a proper extended list of examples to update the https://boredofstudies.org/threads/running-list-of-key-examples-for-bio-trials-hsc.404317/ thread thread
