Literature or English!!! HUGE DILEMMA!

isn't that still the average? i would think you guys have a chance.

mine is on wednesday and i'm scared because my medify mocks have been really really bad; do you guys have any tips/tricks to help me get at least 2700 ?

What subtest are finding the hardest?

quantitative reasoning, straight up. i feel like i understand some concepts but it just takes me so long to figure them out.
that, and ar

I am so so sorry I completely forgot to reply to u
I hope you went okay

aww! it's okay. i got 2600 : /
it was higher than my medify mocks but idk if it will get me anywhere

Well done, it's done now!
From everything I hear, we just gotta keep grinding. Try to get an exceptional ATAR then we might have chances

doe yes! also, i have a question; are we expected to get a raw atar of 99 to be considered competitive? or can our ATAR be considered like all other atars, even with the bonus points?
ie:
if i get 95 atar and i'm eligible for curtin step up bonus, that means i'll get 5 extra atar points, bumping it up to a 99; will my atar of 95 be considered amongst the other atars, or will my updated atar of 99 be considered for admission amongst other atars??
i hope that makes sense lol

I have seen in the uni course requirements pages it says for example "ATAR of 99 (including any adjustment factors)" so I think it is including any adjustment points

exam season is upon us (at least for me )

Arcadia good luck! mine start 2 october

Arcadia yess but omg we have so much tests and haven't even finished content, only for human bio

anyone else doing casper this friday?

Yupp i am doing casper on friday

Heyo guys

So after wasting 80% of the school holidays for WACE revision it now appears I only have 3 weeks to prepare for the WACE exams (yes im counting to 30 oct which is the date of my spec exam).

my question is, is it possible to get it together in 3 weeks time ready for WACE exams and also achieve a decent ATAR hopefully 98+ (my predicted In sem 1 was 96.35)

i would think it's possible! just do a lot of practice stuff and you could achive a higher atar. it depends on how you did on your mocks/school grade, though, so maybe think about it and actually consider if you can get a wace exam mark way higher than your school grade atm to work towards that

also would I be disadvantaging myself by prioritising my top 4 subjects rather than focusing equally on my 5 ATAR. This is bc my marks look like this

spec - 75
lit - 83
methods - 82
physics - 63
chem - 55

so obviously my chem grade is atrocious and I only need to pass it for my prerequisite. Would u recommend just doing the bare minimum or prioritise it as equally as everything else bc obviously u don’t know how hard or easy the WACE exam for a subject can be

Arcadia i'm doing 5 too, and english is my lowest grade so i understand what you mean because i only need it to graduate lol. i personally don't focus too much on the subject because i know that i'll never be able to make it one of my top 4, so i just review it when it comes to exam time, but that obviously doesn't work for chem.
i would still focus on it somewhat because 55 is a dangerous grade between passing and failing, so if you can pull off a little study for over 60 that would be good, but just don't spend that much time on it as your other subjects if you know they'll be your highest.
in short just make sure you know your grade won't dip down for wace

yeah I go back to school on Monday so once I get my chem mock back and I know my final average I’ll calculate what I need to get in WACE for at least a 60 average

so far got 3/5 of my mocks back.

Spec - 78
Methods - 83
Chem - 61

Pretty good especially for methods and Chem where I only studied for 2 days before the exam. Pretty salty about spec tho cos I spent a week doing practice exams and questions (gonna get a B with 77 avg again )
