  • Literature or English!!! HUGE DILEMMA!

Hey, sorry for some reason I can't login my other account, so I created a new account. I haven't got my predicted ATAR either, and none of my friends know when we are getting it either, so I am not sure 🤷‍♂️

Shame.

Also are u expecting lower or higher compared to semester 1.

I’m expecting lower tbh cos this time round SCSA will do it with all the data from the schools

Ya but my school did it including all the scaling and stuff.

Seemed kinda dodgy tho cos I got 97.40, and some subjects scaled down like crazy unexpectedly (looking at you methods), while others scaled up massively like chem, physics and literature

  • doe replied to this.

      I think only some schools do it for their students for sem 1, and it’s not an ‘official’ predicted cos you can’t use it for like early offers for uni entry or anything like that.

      We should either get it during holidays or when we go back to school. Idk the exact date, that’s why I was asking around here

        Oh that acc seems quite accurate cos last year methods got scaled down by 13 for a friend of mine who for 87% on the exams!

          Just a question, how prepared are you for the year given we go back to school in a week and a bit

          I have read the poems and prose, and written very very rough essays on 2 of them. It was with my tutor tho, I don't think I had any motivation to do that by myself... what about you?

          Roughly completed 80% of U3 methods and 70% of U3 spec. Finished a chem topic at school and planning to cover one more before end of holidays. Also trying to finish motion topic for physics before then.

          Have not done anything for literature except read half of Frankenstein and a short play

          you are doing frankenstein this year? We did Frankenstein in year 11 🙂
          I have finished the equilibrium topic for chem and started titrations, and completed 4 chapters for Bio . Methods I have done the topics for the first test, and spec ehhh I have done complex numbers but nothing too much 🙁

            I know this is off topic and all, but please feel free to create question threads for WACE Physics, Chemistry, Math or English. I know there aren’t many WACE graduates, but we’ll try and best to help y’all out with the best of our knowledge. 😊

            heyy guys, any WACE student interested in med - have you started ucat prep yet?? i'm at a loss of how to prepare for it.

            Yes me,

            I did on-and-off practice using question banks from the UCAT website (they are free btw) during year 11.

            From the start of this year I bought medify and practiced skills for a solid 2 weeks before I started making customized tests curated to the exact time and number of questions.

            Planning to start doing mocks a while after getting back to school and once I clean all of them out (which should hopefully take couple months), transition to doing mocks on the UCAT website a month or so before my planned test date in the July holidays (scheduled so that if I do succeed then I can 100% focus on getting the atar for it, and won’t have to study for annoying UCAT while preparing for final mocks which my school does at end of term 3 😨😨😨)

              I always wish I could have done biology but at my school it runs at same time as physics grrrrrrrrr
