Less stress in yr12 Better to do 5 subjects than 6 imo, way less stress

And, more time to spend individually on that subject area

[Harley2262]

yeah i know that. but will it actually boost my ATAR?

If you do well, then most certainly

[Harley2262]

great! thanks i needed to know. any chance you could give me a score to aim for? i've had 2 SAC's so far grading: 17.5/20    30/40
can i still get a relatively good score for it?

Doing a Year 12 subject in Year 11 doesn't physically boost your ATAR, but generally accelerated students do really well because they're focusing on just one subject. It also means that next year you'll have a little more time for the other five subjects you do. Some of my friends are even doing two Unit 3&4 subjects this year and are managing quite well. They will only have to focus on four subjects next year.

From my knowledge, Business Management is a subject that lends itself quite well to accelerated study. Hopefully you'll do really well at the end of the year.

Aim for 40+ is what I'd say to any year 11. If you get there it's an awesome boost to your score and if you don't it shows you what you need in year 12.
And you can always still get a good score. Start periodically revising your business content now and aim for 100% in every SAC. The most important thing though is the exam (evidently). But generally, very generally, your SAC scores are an indicator of what you could get on the exam, so aim high

Cheers Brenden. it would mean a lot if i could get a 40+ in BM. any study tips for remembering the content and doing well?

[brenden]

Np man. Absolutely. Have a good work ethic lol. I know it sounds pretty cliche but, do all your classwork, homework (and then some). Aim to be a week ahead of the class in terms of what you know. Read through class material before the class, learn it in class, and then do it again later.
When you're studying, don't just pick up your textbook, read it over and over and maybe do some highlighting and think you know it. Try to make meaningful associations between the information you're trying to learn and the information you already know. If you can say ""Oh, I remember this piece of information because I relate it to that time..." or something along those lines that's a good sign.
As far as the SAC's go, you shouldn't need to study specifically for them 'cause the idea is to be studying for the exam from day dot. Don't get trapped into just doing your homework, getting three days before the SAC and going crazy on your notes.
All that and kill the exam.

i'll see how i go with continuous study. ive got the GAT on Thursday so hopefully i can do well

[brenden]

Lol don't stress too much about the GAT. It doesn't contribute to your ATAR or anything. Unless you get a derived study score.
