  • Hsc English: Tips On How To Improve
    By: Jocelyn Mattieson | - HSC English is one of the most problematic subjects students face partly because at least 2 units is compulsory under the HSC system, leaving many, many students stuck doing a subject they dont particularly enjoy. This is especially true for students who are accustomed to subjects that require a systematic approach, such as maths, or sciences to these students, HSC English seems mysterious, random, lacking any recognisable pattern in terms of whats required for high marks.

  • Accelerating An Hsc Subject
    By: Tis Amit | - he term 'accelerating' refers to doing a HSC subject one year earlier than usual. This usually means completing one or several HSC subjects during year 11.

  • How To Choose A Hsc Tutor
    By: Tis Amit | - Dear parents,

    Choosing a good tutor for your child is very important. Not only are you investing your money, you are also entrusting your child"s time to your chosen service provider. Your child"s time is, in our opinion, substantially more important than money.

  • Is The Hsc A Game?

    In order for the HSC to be fair in ranking students for the purposes of University entry, a comprehensive system of HSC scaling is used, hence why we have the UAC and the notion of 'scaling' and 'scaled marks'. The scaling process itself is firmly justified mathematically, and is technically fair (to those who understand the mathematic ...

  • Minimising Human Error During Hsc Exams
    By: Tis Amit | - By virtue of its definition, human error is something we all do. In the more quantitative HSC subjects such as Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, human error can be a big cause of losing marks in exams. For example, how often have you walked out of an exam room, and realise only moments later that you've lost a few marks in a question or two due to 'silly mistakes'? Or when, coming out of an exam room, you chat with your friends about how they did question X Y Z etc and realising you missed a t ...

  • Atar To Replace All Uai's

The conversion of UAI to ATAR aligns NSW's system of measuring HSC performance for the purpose of university admissions to that of other states. The ATAR will replace all UAI's, starting with the year 12 students in 2009, and will be a rank-based score out of 99.95 (instead of 100.00).

    By: Jacqui Chen | - The most important ingredient to a high UAI is to ace all your subjects. While we place a huge emphasis on English these days (being the only compulsory subject in the NSW HSC), the hype over English is slightly overrated by now. Put in a simple way, if you ace your HSC English but ace nothing else, your UAI will be mediocre at best. Instead, do not over-focus on any particular subject. Every student's goal is to maximise their UAI, so their best ten units count towards their all-important UAI. ...

  • How Your School's Rank Affects Your Hsc Results
    By: Amarendra | - If you are a student of a 'good' school (e.g. one that ranks in the top 50 in the state), you are not necessarily automatically advantaged in terms of how well you will do in your HSC. When your external exams and internal ranks are assessed to calculate your aligned marks and UAI, you will simply be a student number to the BOS. They don't take your school into account, so the fact that you go to a 'good' or 'bad' school will not have any direct bearing on how your papers are marked.
