  • Is The Hsc A Game?
    By: Tis Amit | - You may have heard people call the HSC a game, or liken it to a game. Well there is an element of truth to this view, depending on how you look at it.

    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 ...

  • Hsc English Is Overemphasised
    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. ...

  • Crammers Guide To Survival In Hsc Exams
    By: George Li | - Crammers guide to survival

    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.

    Often if something happens and it is of no fault of your own, the school may be lenient and make arrangeme ...

  • Developing Good Study Habits For Your Hsc
    By: Ashwani | - Studying consistently is important if you want a good HSC result. It is important to build up good study habits early on from your Preliminary year and sustain them until you complete your HSC. Cramming should not be thought of as an alternative to consistent study, but rather as a last resort. Students should not leave things to the last minute when doing things such as assignments, assessments and exam preparation.


    Of course, this all sounds typical and preachy, but it's al ...

  • 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.
