I got accepted into – Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws at Western Uni and I am wondering if I should choose it. However I also got accepted into Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Laws - full or part time at wollongong uni.

The problem is I know next to nothing about these unis or the offers, so if any of yall have any info or directions, comment !!

Yea so after trials where my marks fell as expected and my overall marks came out. I feel like my atar is over, after English Paper 2 I genuinely lost all the stress that motivated me to study. Paper 1 and Modern History were such good papers that when maths standard 2 came around I went in too relaxed, that after some answers got leaked that I knew I might have lost one too many marks. I still feel like I’d get a 85+ in maths and history and 75 in English. But with business and economics b2b I feel like I’m going into these exams without enough caution, I’m still missing proper understanding of 2 business topic, and will lose marks for some stupid hyper niche question that I wasn’t ready for. Economics is probably my last hope but even then I don’t know if I can get 90+, its not foregone I understand majority of economics really well and I’m at a 87 internal market, but my biggest concern is that my arm gives up. It happened in trials where having to write 15 essays (I count the total writing amount across Business Econ English Short answers as 1 essay worth of writing and 2 for History, Core and section 4) worth across 3 days without any rest time , I almost tore some muscle or stressed a tendon so hard I had to get professional therapy before I’d loose functionality in that hand. I fear that it may happen during the last 2 exams and I’ll loose marks for it. I need an atar of atleast 85 and the way things seem either I need a miracle in Business (even though it’s supposed to be one of the easiest, compared to what I do it’s my weakest cos I’ve brushed it off majority of y12) and am okay economics paper. Having Asian parents that tell you, that you need to go to the best uni you can, but then them saying “I don’t care what atar you get, as long as you do what you want”, in the middle of the most stressful exam period really fucked my study rhythm. I don’t whether or no I’m over stressing it, or if my fate is sealed and I should accept my Wollongong offer, even though I swore on my dignity that I’d rather go to tafe than that.

Is anyone memorising a reflection for their prepped discursives and imaginatives just in case?

is it fine to just not show up for a hsc exam since i don't want it to count at all. to those who may say just go since you have already learnt all the content - i haven't, i knew i was dropping since the start but wasn't allowed to due to school reasons. i did do an accelerated subject so i have 10 units WITHOUT this subject that i am thinking of missing the hsc exam for.

is it ok to just not show up? or should i just go and do the bare minimum?

EDIT: I will be going and just give it my best shot - thanks everyone for the advice I really appreciate it!

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone who currently does or recently has completed unit 3/4 englang or spesh at VSV could provide some feedback on how they found it. I'm very familiar with the courses themselves, but I was wondering about the quality of education specifically relating to englang and spesh at VSV. Like how good are the teachers, the resources provided, and whether the 3/4 SACs are rigourous rather than too easy (which could result in scores scaling down). Overall, I'm quite an independent learner and am planning to get a very good tutor, so I'm mostly concerned about the cohort's academic strength and quality of SACs which will play a part in my study score. Thanks in advance!

My performance on my exams so far has been quite sub par. For English I got probably 60 percent, and then for mx2 50 raw, and then now mx1 most likely 60-65% as well. I still have graphics and physics to go but I’m really scared for my atar, I need an 81 for my degree and I’m really scared I won’t get there. my mental health has been really bad ever since trials and I’m just yeah, scared. I view myself very harshly and critique myself endlessly so while I do try to study for exams, and I do put in lots of effort, the cumulative amount of study I’ve done wasn’t much, mostly because I procrastinated a lot as well as not have a concrete study routine. I guess I’m just worried because this degree is literally the be all end all of my life basically. I know that people say there’s other ways to get in but this is an early entry offer, and the normal degree is a 93. I basically need a 90+ raw in physics now. I’ve done so bad so far and I feel like a failure, I just don’t know how to feel anymore and I don’t know if it’s even worth trying still. this last year has literally been the worst year of my life and I’m struggling to cope.

Hi All, can anyone guide me please where I can get past exam papers from trials and practice exams in any NSW selective schools for subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Advanced Maths, Maths Extension I ? Thanks ahead.

I'm lonely and wanted to make friends and if anyone is available, hit me up! Yes I'm in high school still and plans to drop out to find another alternative pathway

It’s time to rethink how we prepare students for university.
Let’s learn from education systems like Finland and modernise tertiary entrance in Australia.
The subjects students choose at school should align with the university courses they want to pursue. If a student wants to study Law, for example, Legal Studies should be a relevant prerequisite for their university pathway, rather than students feeling pressured to choose subjects simply to maximise their ATAR.
Our students’ mental health matters. They should be able to choose subjects based on their interests, strengths and future careers, without the fear that they’ll disadvantage their ATAR or university opportunities.

I found it pretty chill, but i honestly feel like q13 was the actual q14 haha

hi we’re looking at haploid and diploid, specifically the chromosomes and homogulous pairing of a muntjack deer (6 diploid cells, 3 homogulous pairs) I GENUINELY do not understand, and doing a visual didn’t seem to help me( because I don’t get it ☹️)
Anyways one of the questions was interphase vs cytokenisis( comparing cell count, chromosome count and homogulous pairings) and if anyone could even attempt to make an explanation for a 5 year old id be so appreciative

Yeah. Getting a bit worried that it's pushing the line too much.

U3 average 92%
U4 average 97%

School sacs are very hard I would say, teacher is a 6 year examiner who marks extremely hard

Rank 1

Trail exam 90% (marked by a different external examiner)

Predicted study score?

For me, most were pretty damn easy except for the 15 mark Hatshepsut question
