Do you mean that your official ATAR was 96.5 and then plus the bonus point of 5 from MQ making it 101.5? I received my AMusA last year and from memory I should have 3 bonus points for UNSW.

Hi all, :caffeine: I am interested and do well in 4U Maths and Music 2 + Music Extension. However, I am not sure if I can attain > 97 ATAR in this HSC year. So, my question is if I end up having an ATAR < 97, is there any course that I can enroll before transitioning to actuarial studies...

Thanks for the positive feedback. I am confident I could catch up with the "head-starters" in the final HSC exam but I think I cannot beat them in the ongoing school assessments. This is what I worry about.

Hi all, I chose Ext 1 and 2 Maths since Term 1 last year (2016). I then began Ext 2 tutoring in one of the coaching colleges. I never did coaching before. My parents do not really recommend me to do coaching but because of the enormity of the subject, they decided to pay for the coaching...

:read:Hello, I have chosen to study Music 2 and Music Extension. I was wondering if I need to record myself practising the piano pieces for my performances portfolio. Can someone please let me know? Thanks. :cool:

Thanks guys. Much appreciated!:biggrin:

:thrust:Hello, I have chosen to study Music 2 and Music Extension. In the term 1 just passed, I have written one composition and submitted a portfolio to go with it. I heard from someone that I will need to refine this same composition in future assessments rather than submitting a new piece. Is...

Hi all, I am thinking about dropping Physics but taking Ext 2 Maths. Is Physics mandatory for Ext 2 Maths? What are the topics in Physics which will help Ext 2 Maths? Thanks in advance. :bosman:

I am also facing the same dilemma about choosing between Music 1 and Music 2. One question: is it true that if I want to choose Music extension in Year 12, I must complete Music 2 in Year 11? :skip:

Hello! :jump: I am in Year 10 and am thinking of getting a private English tutor who can help me with assignments and assessments of the existing school programme rather than attending a coaching college where I have to follow another different programme. Because it may be hard to find out...

Yay! Good to hear.

That would be great! So, if I have to study "Waves and Communications" in Physics in Yr 11, it won't be tested in HSC. Is that correct?

Hello, It might sound a bit dumb :blink2: but I would like to know: Are the Year 11 materials tested in HSC exam as well? Are the Year 11 results included in the calculation of HSC result? Thanks a million!

I am confident of my Maths but not English. That is why I will drop English Ext in Year 12. I want to focus on fewer subjects in Year 11. Does it make sense?

Hello, this is the first post for me on this forum. :karate: I want to start planning for subject selection in Year 11 and 12. My strategy is to focus my energy on few core subjects rather than spreading them too thin. I am doing 5.3 Maths and my Maths result is in the year's top 10%. I...
