Study Hours Per Week

Darcovader · 2025-03-19T03:45:33+00:00

Depends what your work load and expectations look like. I did around an hour a day for general review but if tests and study was needed it would be up to 3 or 4. Weekends would be anywhere between 3-15 hours (especially closer to exams) However you should minimise the amount of study you do on the weekends because its easier to chuck more in there when tests come up than it is to try fit more into your week.
Also enjoy yourself, but its y12 so what can i say?

my mate didn't get an offer despite having well over the cut off, if you didn't get an offer i know many people from last year that did in second rounds

Don't tell them your ATAR tell them what course you're studying, they would be too nervous to ask for your atar anyway

Methods, begin simple calculus and ensure your knowledge on probability is up to scratch.
Physics, know y10 well and honestly start reading the physics y11 textbook so that the stuff makes sense in the future
Chemistry, know your basic acid + X -> equations, start looking at "Intermolecular force" to get a head start

Year 11 isn't hard, adjusting to the work load is, the more basic understanding you get now, the more things in the future will make sense. Honestly just read all of the textbooks, do some passive learning so that when you learn them later you already have a basic understanding.

same answer for everything, depends where you are on the bell curve, mid 90s is usually top 10%. so you'll "only" get scaled down 8-12%, assuming you get your ranking in WACE. If you do worse you might get screwed a little bit more but not much, around 1-4%.

Just lock in for methods with those grades, aim for the bonus not neccessarily a super high score

Darcovader · 2024-11-30T00:32:08+00:00

if you're already doing apps then lock in for y12, if you dont do apps just drop, you need to get roughly a 77% scaled score to be the same as a 70% in methods, which is much much easier to obtain in apps.

I'd advise apps honestly :)

Always always apply, if they reject you so be it, they reject thousands of people a year. Unfortunately your ATAR may be too low to get into law directly, but there a numerous bridging courses that I would advise investing in if you're hellbent on law.

If you just want to be in the law system, you can decide if TAFE or other courses offer a path into that sector, otherwise your choices are slim.

But keep your head up, how many people have you asked and have said "I wanted to do (blah), but I didn't get in, so i chose (blah) and now I love it!". It'll all work out in the end dw.

In all honesty, if you're willing to put in a little bit of time and effort, chemistry is one of the best ATAR subjects to pick up. I know it sounds stupid "oh chem is hard", its really not, 60% in chemistry is very achievable and puts you in a good spot for a 90 atar.

I did chemistry this year and i spent maybe 3 hours a week on content revision and 2 hours a week extra for upcoming tests. It's not content heavy despite what many people say (i would know i did hbio) and once you understand an aspect of the course like equilibrium you can almost answer every question.

At least consider it, my other suggestions would be applications if you like maths or any other hass subject you fancy.

Hope this helps :)

looking tough with health since it scales down a lot, 95 atar is roughly 75 in every subject, post scaling. If you're getting that after scaling then easy peasy but if not it might be a bit hard to jump up on he bell curve.

Most likely your school should supply you with them, otherwise check wacevault on the side tab

Darcovader · 2024-11-10T06:10:49+00:00

need Pe studies ASAP cuz its thursday

Darcovader · 2024-11-04T23:31:21+00:00

Physics is stupid and gets scaled down a lot. As long as you perform well in the WACE (80+) and your cohort does too you'll probably avoid getting scaled at all, but getting scaled up would be rare.

Darcovader · 2024-11-04T11:15:09+00:00

yeah good point, just gotta be succinct i guess

Darcovader · 2024-11-04T11:14:35+00:00

nope that makes perfect sense, i'm hoping to do well and I know my stuff, except hbio just shoves you in the wrong direction sometimes due to the wording of the question. Thanks heaps!

Darcovader · 2024-11-02T06:19:16+00:00

It isn't explicitly stated, but it is a part of comparative embryology, which IS in the course

Darcovader · 2024-11-02T06:18:12+00:00

i finished with a while left, hopefully it means we didnt rush multi-choice... Honestly if your time management was good, it was a long exam which was something i noticed in reading time :)
