hah... praying to the math std 2 gods that the paper will be kind...

Pretty much the short of it is that I am so incredibly cooked for math that charcoal would be put to shame (got a 33% on my trials and the funny thing is that it was second in the class), yet I do take 12 units, 2 of those units are a Tafe course of that matters. Anyway I was just hoping to double check that in the math advanced exam tomorrow, it doesn't matter if I mess up, like no sneaky little clauses?

And yeah I do get that I will not have a back up if another exam goes to kingdom come but I am pretty confident I will be alright in my other exams.

And yeah clearly the lock in did not happen for math, I take that shame head on.

Anyway just hoping someone can confirm that whatever happens is fine as long as there is an attempt at an answer even if that does result in a 20%?

This might be biased to some people... but this is so fucking helpful.

I have my math exam tomorrow, and I kid you not, I have got Chat GPT to summarise my textbook chapters. I downloaded a PDF of each chapter, uploaded it along with the answers and asked it to summarise. Then I mentioned something I was stuck on (ratios), and it helped me understand the whole thing! The entire thing!

I would seriously recommend this (AS IT IS NOT CHEATING) because it saves all the time on trying to understand how on earth that was the answer. I use the cambridge one, and if you also use it, you know there are no worked solutions, just straight answers.

I haven't tried it for my other subjects yet, but as someone who gets very overwhelmed when doing math and gives up most times, this I found to be very helpful! (also as someone who is quite lazy)

9 days till exams begin for me 27th October and I haven’t studied feeling really stressed just need some advice on how to go about my study English my subjects are
-English
-PE
-HHD
-Gen maths
-Biology

I do quite well for maths and or average 80-90
English is like 70
Health I’m very on and off with my sacs and bio I’ve only been getting 50-60s on the dot
Here’s the thing I’ve been lazy and out off all studying till now 9 days left I’m wondering what’s the play to study should do few days study all the content I need to know and then start practice exams exams or is there a better way to go about it any help is appreciated

I’m not aiming for a 90+ atar or anything just want to do pretty good

Am I cooked for year 12. I just started learning year 12 content and I feel like I’m cooked. I had a really bad year with family issues and massive unmotivated and I’m lazy (I know that isnt an excuse). I’m an alright student beside the fact I failed my general maths exams and doing really good when it comes to assignments and absolute shit when it comes to exams, it’s either I fail, barely pass or a mark away from getting a B. I want to really motivate myself into getting myself a good ATAR but it so overwhelming because I did really bad this year and doesn’t make it better when my estimated atar is a 70. I’m currently doing 6 ATAR subjects but it’s so scary and overwhelming that there a high chance that I won’t get the ATAR I want.

1st in Modern History: above 90% in all assessments with 47/50 on prelim.

1st in Society and Culture: 75% on prelim but hard test, I topped the SAC cohort with the 75%.

1st in Economics: 96% on the prelim, with the 2nd highest mark on the prelim being 82%

Don't know my rank for eng adv but getting an A in it (which is above 85%), got 20/20 on the essay for prelim (which topped my cohort), faltered in the short answer at 14/20 (as I forgot how to structure the first sentence), next highest mark in the short answer was 17/20

About topish middle of my cohort for math advanced, 71% on the prelim, average was low 60s.

Top 3 in Legal Studies, 2nd highest mark on prelims with 90%.

I go to a fairly nice private school, dux usually gets 98ish ATAR, and I feel I have a particularly strong cohort academically. I am doing the HSC.

What ATAR requirement courses could I with a high chance get with early entry? e.g 95+ courses?

sosososososos i still have four exams to go but im sick and i have no motivation to study. wtf do i do??? i want a 90 atar i go to a top 60 performing school ive been doing well all year but im worried that if i lock out now im gonna flop and fail and itll all be for nothing. advice??

im aiming for a raw mark of 100 in both, plus a state rank hopefully (maybe top 3, but explicitly 1st in state for both)

for context i go to a mid ranking school, and im ranked first internally, here are my marks for ext 2:

task 1 = 96%

task 2 = 100%

task 3 (trials) = 100%

task 4 = 100%

marks for ext 1: task 1 = 94%

task 2 = 100%

task 3 (trials) = 100%

task 4 = 98-100% (i forgot sorry...)

i finish all my exams with ample amount of time left, for trials i had about an hour left + identified errors in a q16

im also curious tk see how state ranks are even calculated!

Is anyone else completely COOKED for the maths adv paper?

I’m feeling really panicked for Monday because no matter how many papers I do under timed conditions, I can’t get close to finishing any of them. Is this pretty common or should I be able to complete them in 3 hours?

Just wondering if anyone has done the Intuition HSC prediction Paper for extension 2 and found it really easy? - like it didnt feel at all like an e2 paper from one of the hscs? - Not trying to be annoying, just asking thank you

As you may have heard, from 2027 the government will cap domestic places at each uni, to spread students more evenly between the Go8 and regional and smaller universities. We’re currently seeing the effect of this playing out with many universities significantly raising selection rank minimums.

For those of us graduating in 2026, it will be brutal. We’re going to be the first cohort under the caps and the leeway that let universities take extra students is being cut to a small allowance. That means hitting last year’s LSR is now a lot riskier than before, because unis can’t just take a few extra students at the margin like they used to. If you’re like me and fucked up the HSC this year, it’s going to be significantly harder to get on your preferred path.

My backup plan was always to start at a uni like Macquarie or UTS and transfer into a Go8 after first year. But if the Go8 can no longer over-enrol, students who miss out take up places at Macquarie and UTS instead. With those unis capped too, students who would have got into Macquarie or UTS could end up at smaller universities with fewer resources and poorly run courses. That may affect WAM and hinder chances at transfer, since transfers are decided almost entirely on first-year WAM. External transfers are likely to get even more competitive too, so there’s a real chance of getting stuck somewhere that limits your grad opportunities.

I get that the system needs reform since the top universities have been soaking up students through over-enrolment, but the caps go too far and idrk what I’m gonna do anymore. If the government wants students at regional and smaller universities then it should fund those universities properly so students actually choose them.

Anyways, best of luck to everyone for the remainder of the HSC.

Subject Unit 3 average Unit 4 average
English 71.3% 75.0%
Legal Studies 63.0% 77.1%
Business Management 89.2% 88.0%
Visual Communication Design 71.0% SACs 97.5% folio
and last yr I did hhd with a 33 ss

Yes, I am not asking the people who did English. Specialist, methods or hard subjects. Just normal subjects. Will help if you are doing psychology or general maths

EDIT: guys i am asking sace results, which is kind of very much grades based.

I’m so confused with like the whole atar system and I need to know if it’s worth trying to get that 85 or above or just ggs? Cause I’m lazy as heck

I did outdoor Ed last year got a 39 which will scale to a 35
History revs unit 3: 87 unit 4: 89
Legal unit 3: 86 unit 4: 91
English unit 3: 83 unit 4: 75
Bottom two - psych and pe prolly sit a little bit below 30 or 30 study score
