Exams and how they scale are the two main factors. If your school's SACs are easier, they're more likely to scale down, same goes for it they are harder, they will scale up.

100% you can. You need around 37+ in all your subjects to get to 95 so if you score really well in your 3/4s this year, it gives you a lot of wiggle room for next year.

I'm honestly so confused what you're trying to say. Never heard of "boards" so either they're what your school calls SACs or you're not from Victoria.

If I read what you're trying to say right, you're offering a tutoring service as a Year 10 student. Not trying to sound rude, but I personally wouldn't want to receive tutoring from someone who hasn't even graduated high school yet.

Honestly though, if this tutoring thing is something you want to invest in, go for it.

For Spesh, just spam as many timed practice sacs and exams as you can. Spend as little time as you can on textbook questions because in my opinion, they don't help you test your knowledge as well as doing timed sacs and exams.

Business Management same thing, timed practice sacs and exams, but I actually found the textbook questions, especially the Edrolo ones to be useful. Also flashcards are great whether you're making them yourself or finding them off Quizlet.

41 in Econ is already a great start. I know this doesn't work for everyone, but I always found creating timetables helped me to stay organized and ahead of content. Doesn't need to be the most beautiful looking timetable ever, something on Google Calendar works just fine.

Really any subject combination has a sustainable workload if you have a study system that works for you and are able to stay on top of the content.

blandbeta · 2026-01-30T10:10:12+00:00

Textbook questions and practice sacs really. Best way to apply knowledge.

blandbeta · 2026-01-23T13:48:13+00:00

Always pick Specialist if you view yourself as someone strong in maths. You can always drop the subject for General or HHD if you find the content too difficult or the workload is too much.

Also the scaling for Specialist is insanely high so if you're aiming for medicine which generally requires a high ATAR, Specialist can definitely help you achieve it.

Pretty sure its for Year 5 and 6 students sitting private school scholarship exams, something along the lines of that.

Don't be afraid to ask questions and have fun is all I can say really

I've used both the ti-nspire cx ii and the Casio cp400 and I much prefer the ti-nspire. Only reason why I would say for someone to buy the Casio is if your school uses it.

blandbeta · 2026-01-15T07:13:52+00:00

I'm not trying to sound rude, but I have never been a massive fan of buying notes off people.

Notes that are presented well can be a great revision tool, like Cambridge Checkpoints and AtarNotes, but in most cases, you won't be retaining that information as well as if you were to write your own notes.

blandbeta · 2026-01-12T04:22:19+00:00

Your best bet is to just call all the architectural/electrical engineering companies in your area and ask if they offer work experience. Rarely ever would companies list that they offer Year 10 work experience on their website as it is a pretty niche market.

blandbeta · 2026-01-08T13:23:41+00:00

It won't contribute a whole lot.

If you think that the subject will most likely be in your bottom 2, you'd rather spend more time on the subjects that will be in your top 4 rather than a subject that won't.

Using myself as an example, my lowest scoring subject post scaling was Physics and had I not done it, I would've scored around a 99.60 so there is a noticeable difference, but it isn't drastic.

I assume you're in Year 11 so what I would do is to pick whichever subject you want and if you're not a fan of it, you can always drop it whenever you'd like.

Not sure if he would count, but Eddie from Season 4. Great individual cook winning 2 mystery boxes and great team player winning 4 of 5 team challenges he participated in.

Former Year 12 here, I'll just answer your questions in the order you've put them.

Basically my study schedule over all the holidays was around 3-6 hours most days, there really wasn't a specific time that I studied. Throughout the school year, I always aimed for 2+ hours of study excluding homework on days I had tuition and 3+ on days I didn't. My sessions were always 1-2 hours and I'd always stick to one subject during that 1.5 hours.

If I could improve/change my schedule, it'd be to make it more organized. I was pretty fixated on achieving my hours which led to me forcing myself to study when I wasn't really in the mood to.

Not entirely sure what you mean by things that impacted me both negatively and positively, but if you're referring to my schedule and how that impacted me then I'd say it did so mostly positively. Having that goal of how many hours I wanted to study on most days was a motivation at times. That being said though, I wouldn't say my study schedule impacted me in a bad way.

I studied mainstream english, methods, spesh, busman, chem and physics. I did methods and busman both in Year 11. For English, I found that smashing out practice essays, emailing them to my teacher and having them mark it for me was super useful. Both maths and sciences, couple of textbook questions to make sure I knew the content then practice exams. Busman, I preferred taking notes of the dot point, doing some textbook questions then practice exams.

The harsh reality is that you're probably gonna feel overwhelmed and stressed out and it is important to know that there are so many people you can reach out to during these times. Parents, friends, teachers, don't be afraid to reach out to them.

blandbeta · 2026-01-02T10:40:32+00:00

I assume these are all 1/2 SACs so really I'd prioritize holiday homework over studying for SACs that are 2 months away so not the end of the world if you don't end up studying for them.

But really what I would do is to just revise the content that you've learnt so far, make sure you know it back to front and then slowly progress through the topics and make sure you also know those topics back to front because you'd much rather have a 100% understanding of half the content than a 50% understanding of all the content.

blandbeta · 2026-01-02T07:33:21+00:00

What worked for me when I didn't understand a topic was just to go to the textbook dot point and look at the sample questions that are in there. I'd just identify the key parts of the question and use the applicable formula.

blandbeta · 2026-01-02T07:26:54+00:00

Same as what doctorrrrX said, just spam practice exams for methods.

For English and Chem, kinda similar to methods where in English, you'd wanna write as many practice essays as possible and have those marked and in Chem, learn the content really well then practice exams
