    Tuckwell scholarship

    I got into stage 2, didn't have to do anything between it and HOY so I assume it was just how the HOY portrayed me. I recommend telling your HOY and giving them a list of extracurriculars/things they can talk about to boost your chances (I've got no clue what they're asked though) As for stage...

    Should I Drop English Ext2?

    if you're still not enjoying it, drop it. unless you're willing to put in work you're not going to get an E4. I was first internally too but my actual MW was crap and i got a pretty average mark, so it didn't end up counting towards my atar. I enjoyed it so i don't regret not dropping but if...

    dropping to standard maths and the atar

    afaik advanced maths isn't a prerequisite for paramedicine but you should check that before you make any decision. as to whether it will affect your atar, it would if you scored the exact same mark, but what I found when I dropped from advanced to standard was that 1) It was a lot easier...

    Need help for year 12 units/subjects

    can you drop to standard? I did that 1 month before prelims because I was in your situation, and it was the best thing I ever did - I actually ended up lowkey enjoying maths because it was so much easier, and because I enjoyed it I studied it more - sure, it might theoretically scale worse, but...

    leaders and achievers maq

    Sounds like you're pretty solid with your volunteering and leadership, SRC definitely is the major one they love. From memory they only accept extracurriculars from the past 2 years (so year 10 won't count) -- although if you began it before year 11 but continued it into year 11/12 you can put...

    Does ranking matter in EXT2?

    Tbh if your motivation is awful and you don't want to do it I would recommend dropping, it just gives you so much less work to have to drag yourself to do. If you're enjoying it keep it. I would say it's more likely that you'll mess up EE2 than Advanced. I did actually mess up advanced but it...

    worlds of upheaval related text?

    my related text was super vaguely linked to concept of worlds of upheaval and it still did really well so I don't think it matters as long as you can justify it well. I did metropolis, godot and then antigone as my related text. For godot i focused on existentialism as a way to cope with the...

    Does ranking matter in EXT2?

    Yeah it definitely does matter. I was ranked 1st for ext 2 because I performed very well in internal assessments. However, this didn't change the fact that my actual major work was pretty awful. So I had an exam mark of my actual major work score (I think 39) but my assessment mark was the...

    Law

    they don't look at your school report at all, just the list of numerical grades on students online. However depending on the scheme (particularly Macquarie Leaders and Acheivers), you will also need to write some responses to questions about extracurriculars/leadership and put down references...

    How should I go about learning the content

    Considering human rights is just short answer in the hsc (and 5 MC questions), you can easily combine your teacher's methods with teaching yourself about the topic. Eg if a question you're given asks about contemporary human rights issues, research some issues in depth. Also use the syllabus to...

    UNSW HELP

    not to detract from the socialist traumadumping but does anyone else have a course that's still not showing up on moodle? 3 out of 4 of mine are on there but radio silence from the third, and it's starting tomorrow

    Difference between two rubric statements here confusing very much

    Pretty much the same thing, but statement #2 is referring more to the textual structure/form of the texts and how the later text interacts with the earlier text through changes in form, whereas statement #3 is referring more to the themes/values discussed in the texts and how these themes are...

    law at unsw or macquarie

    I've got offers for both Macquarie and UNSW arts/law but I'm in a proper conundrum about what to choose. I'm not wanting to be an actual lawyer as much as I want to work in international law (ngos and whatnot) so I'm not looking for "what uni will make people hire me to defend them" kind of...
