What I like to do for memorising an essay is to do it 2-4 sentences at a time.
I always write my essays on an online document but this same technique can also work on paper.

So I type out the 2-4 sentences that I am trying to memorise and read it through a couple of times. I then type out those sentences as much from memory as I can, but looking back at the original as many times as I need to make sure that I get it right. Once I've done that once I cover over the original and try to type it out again but without looking at any other writing this time. It's okay if you make mistakes: just write out as much as you can remember. Once you're finished, look back at the correct writing and recognise which parts you got right and which parts you got wrong. Repeat until you feel confident typing/writing those 2-4 sentences without needing to look at anything. then continue for the rest of the essay. This technique only takes me anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the length and complexity of the essay. It's also good to try again in a few hours or the next day to make sure you still remember.

I hope this helps!

Hey everyone!
Student from the Year 10 Hornsby Girls cohort here, looking for some advice for subject selection for Year 11.

Right now, I'm doing Software Engineering (IST accelerated) and I plan to continue this until Year 12. The teacher is nice, the environment is chill and I really enjoy this subject as a whole

My dream goal is to study Med + Software Engineering in the States after HS. Computers are my passion and I REALLY enjoy learning programming & coding at dubious hours of the night in my bedroom Instead of completing a double degree (Med + Software), I hope to complete certificates and develop my own projects in programming in order to support myself through the final years of Med school + any further study. Also, if I were to double I would prefer choosing some more niche Med topics to dive deeper into.

Andrew Huberman is quite literally a hero of mine. And I hope to pursue a career in the Neuroscience field. I'd love to study the science behind computers + brains and whatever the future holds for this subject.

My current subject selection is:

• Eng Advanced
• Maths Advanced
• Maths Ext. 1
• Chem & Physics
• Modern History
• Software Engineering

Eng Advanced = must
Maths Advanced + Maths Ext. 1 = must (because I play to do Ext. 2 in Year 12)
Chem + Physics

• Both subjects are slightly more interesting than Bio for me, they are known to scale better, and the teacher for Bio is not good
  Modern History ??
• Extra subject: I have always enjoyed history and regard myself as a good essay writer, and there are really no other subject OTHER THAN the finance ones / legal (I don't plan to do Ext. English or Languages at all). I do not enjoy finance subjects at all, and legal is honestly toooooooo content heavy for a subject I can't find myself diving into and enjoying. Eco is known to be one of the best scalers, but Modern History is right up there too in the top 3, and scaling changes every year.
  Software Engineering --> Yay!

= 13 units (minimum 12)

In Year 12, I plan to do:

• Eng Advanced
• Maths Advanced
• Maths Ext. 1
• Maths Ext. 2
• Chem & Physics
• Modern History
• Software Engineering

Which equals 14 units, so I plan to drop 1 subject depending on my performance/enjoyment in Year 11.

Any advice??? Thanks guys!!

ceraphine me reading this in math class

ceraphine WELL DONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ceraphine that is INSANE you absolutely deserve it congrats omg omg

ceraphine GOOD JOBBB

ceraphine atp

my mind went to adenosine triphosphate 0.0
Btw, great job ;DDDD

thats impressive getting second out of a whole advanced cohort honestly.. i could never

ceraphine omg well done!!

ate up

Hi, let me clarify a few things @MMHS @JMSSaspirant

1) It's not a rule that SEHS and JMSS only accept people who are aspiring to work in "academically challenging fields". So I think that you are implying that I would be taking up someone's place if I go there and then go through into the zoological field. However, SEHS and JMSS is full of people who would be a good influence. They are good schools. Most public schools usually have people who are rude, lazy and careless. Private schools have a lower number of such people, but they cost money that my family does not have. I don't want to grow up to become any of those qualities, which is why I'm aiming for SEHS or JMSS.

2) The animal field is changing everyday, and I could end up in a position that doesn't even exist as of right now. And yes, it is academically challenging. It's also mentally, emotionally and physically demanding. Zookeepers are underpaid and underappreciated. As I mentioned earlier, psychology is a very useful degree to have. As I have heard, that is what you would define as academically challenging. Furthermore, working closely with animals as complex as pinnipeds requires a deep understanding of biology, psychology, math, medical sciences, coding and so much more. Keepers need to know how to read the animals' body language, they need to calculate each animals' unique caloric needs. It's not as simple as "oh 2kg of fish each day for each of the dolphins" that's how so many animals die in parks. Training is not as straightfoward as it seems, and i encourage you to read up on it because there's only so much that I can explain to you.

3) As I mentioned before, zookeepers are extremely underpaid, which is why in order to support myself if I go forward with that kind of career, I'll need a stable side job. Now as we should know, simple jobs like McDonalds or Tutors are very likely going to be replaced with robots, so I'll need some kind of good degree behind my back. SEHS or JMSS will get me that.

I'm not saying this to be rude, but please do your research before saying stuff like this. Things are not always as they seem.
