hsc?

Yep

 

[Scryne]

How are you guys studying for those 'content' subjects (eco, bst etc)? I'm barely getting through half of each past paper, I think it's over for me.

Atomi videos + anki flash cards, thats it no past papers got rank 1 in bio thru this method so imma stick to it cos i got no time for past papers

Also my school is shit so, rank 1 doesnt mean shit

Fair enough haha. How are you using Atomi videos? Making notes on them while watching?

 

[melanie_o]

Anyone done 2022 ext1 math paper?
what were some of those last questions bro…

I saw question 14 and I was like 'Yeah, that's enough for me; I'll cope with an E2'

 

[reniiiblaseee]

Yep its math, btw have you done your textbook questions.

I have done like the examples and 3 from each chapter cos my school doesnt care

well yeh throughout the year we've done textbook questions

id say only do textbook questions rn for topics ur truly weak in so u can grasp foundational skills b4 u grind out past papers. though hsc starts in like 15 days theres abt 21 days till the math exam so u do have time. if ur feeling a bit uncomfortable rn i recommend working simultaneously with ur textbook, anki and past paper questions

u can spread out a past paper between days rather than doing a whole paper in one sitting. that way you'll still get past papers done. also at this rate maybe work on hsc questions if u feel uncomfortable instead of trial papers cuz theyre more challenging and u dont want to be freaking out rn

I never make notes, i just make cloze flash cards for definitions. And basic flash cards for listing stuff/ describing processes.

Then i copy the stuff in the basic and make multiple clozes on that awell.
- Seperate card for listing examples, then another for explaining impacts etc

Also the aim is to guage high yield stuff and keep your cards as small/concise as possible. Cut out useless things

so 1 idea per card, split it up as much as possible. Also when you cloze make sure you close 95% of the info so you dont get pattern recognition

Are any of my geo baddies actually so scared for the exam . I'm so nervous I feel like I'm going to gwt clapped Section III and IV.

ur delusional to think u would be in a better position at a higher ranked school. Ur first rank means u can't be dragged down by cohort, meanwhile you can in a higher ranked school if you aren't first. Literally basic maths and common sense

Yea thats the plan tbh its my fault for ignoring math, i think i will do a decent amount of textbook for calculus and maybe jump in to past papers for the rest since they r straight forward

wtf thats why i wrote it doesnt mean shit, cos i didnt wanna come of as bragging

Ik abt scaling and all that thats why im rank 1

What i meant was my lazy method worked cos the exams were easy and the marking was lenient.

yup ts was so cooked i still remember it a year on

I think 14b had an average mark of 22%, and 14c was 33% (according to smartermaths)
14d is surprisingly manageable though

How do guys memorise your english essays? I have them edited and ready but I just can't get them in my head.

oh hell nah 14d is my worst nightmare (fk stats and business studies)

write the whole essay down like 3 times, youll get familiar with it and once u start reciting it out loud its easier (works for me)

 

[svad]

Also, anyone who got into first pref early entry, how are you staying motivated to study I was studying for hours until I got my early entry acceptance email and then I just fell off so bad

Turn it into a song. Trust it works

 

[Scryne]

Memorising essays has to be the most boring shit I've ever done. I think I've given up on it like three times this week.

 

[C2H6O]

i just write them over and over, each time with less and less help, like i might start off glancing at my draft, then go to a quote list, then only allowed to read quotes beforehand, and then no help

aunties and uncles and grandparents and cousins will still compare you so youd better not disappoint
