  • In Physics or Psychology?

    I think that psychology would be an easier subject than physics definitely but consider your pathways and what you want to do in the future.

    Choose the subject that you find more interesting and it will allow you to do better!

  • In Help...Failed unit 3 sacs??

    I also struggled with my SACs and being burnt out since the end of year 11. Everything felt so fast paced and I felt like I couldn’t keep up.

    I failed one of my 3 SACs of EAL and I lost most of my motivation in trying to achieve a 90 ATAR. I’m doing well averaging high 80s and low 90s in my other subjects but I really felt disappointed when I saw my EAL SAC score. I had two teachers leave the school in the middle of the school year so getting to know the new teachers were a struggle for me. They barely care and one couldn’t even provide me with a support I needed.

    What I found helpful was to stop dwelling on the past. I knew that EAL is an important subject in my top4s so I have to really work hard for it. I started to look for other tutors for my EAL subject since my teacher wasn’t much help. My mum also gave me a goal which played a part of my motivation to get a 90 ATAR.

    Find something that motivates you and please take breaks. Don’t stress too much and work hard for your exams which will matter much more. Hopefully this helps you!

    I don’t know much about economics but I think if you can aim for a high 70s and high 80s in your unit 4 and exams. I think a 30 ss would be achievable.

  • In Should I accelerate bio or business management?

    I think if you are leaning towards majoring in medicine, you should definitely do biology. I have a sister who did biology and she found it pretty fun on the other hand, I did business and I struggled quite a bit but it’s not that useful honestly.

  • In psych - is a 40+ ss still possible?

    I think that it can still be possible but for your scientific investigation which is your U4 AOS3 SAC, do your best to try to get 100%. Ensure that you use your time in class effectively. And aim for high 80s in your other 2 SACs. Your exam will be worth 50% of your ss so study hard and aim for a 90%. I think setting goals like this will be effective for you. Hopefully, this helps! Good luck!
