Why Hsc Coaching Is Necessary By: Hyun Kim | - Over the past decade, HSC coaching has become an integral part of the culture of HSC preparation. A significant portion of all HSC students, whether they are from public, selective and private schools, attend some sort of HSC coaching outside of their normal school hours.

Losing Momentum After The Hsc Trials By: Tis Amit | - Now that most students have finished their HSC trials at school, they can relax for a short while knowing that they have finished the last of their school assessments.

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 ...

First we should say: do NOT cram if you have a choice. We do not recommend cramming as a sole solution to the HSC, as cramming definitely underperforms consistent study in the long run. However in life, unforeseen events happen and you may find yourself in a situation where you have only a few days, or even just 1 day, before a major exam.
Hsc Chemistry By: Gordon Guo | - HSC Chemistry is one of the most rewarding HSC subjects you can choose.

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.
