Hi!
I was just wondering, because I want become a doctor and that requires 99.95. But I made a research and it says 96 for UNSW.
I do Standard English, Advanced Maths, Legal, Business, PDHPE and Ancient History. I'm going well for all subjects besides maths and english and legal. But, do you think there's a chance to be in the 90s like approximately 96 ATAR? Because I have only received marks for last term, and I don't do any sciences which makes it a bit hard to get into medicine. But is there like a chance of getting a high ATAR?

Do you have any advice for creative writing ? Tips to use the stimulus if you've already got a story...
Thanks and congrats!!

Hi Lachlan,
For creative writing, my number one piece of advice is to always write from your own experience. This makes your story authentic, and easier for your marker to empathise with. Markers appreciate stories that make them think. So, make sure your story shows some personal insight into discovery. It doesn't have to be completely original per say, but it really should show what you understand to be at the heart of the discovery experience.
As for stimulus, you must read the question carefully. If it says it must be 'at the start' of your piece, put it there! If it must be a central feature, don't ignore it! Remember though, you can interpret the stimulus metaphorically. The markers are more lenient when it comes to creative writing, so as long as there is a general link to the stimulus, you will be fine! In my own writing, I liked to incorporate the stimulus as a motif, so it was interwoven throughout my piece

Hi, congratulations on achieving such exceptional results!! I'm doing four units of English for my HSC and Advanced is particularly the one that was my downfall in Year 11. I think it was because of the lack of time + effort I put into it especially when it has so much content with the three different modules. My questions are:
1. What was your elective for Extension 1 English? (I'm doing After The Bomb)
2. Did you do countless past papers to practice writing your essays + creatives?
3. Have you posted any of your work online? I would love to read one of your essays or creatives!!
P.S Thank you for taking the time to read and answer our questions, it means a lot!!

Hi Emily, thanks for taking the time to do this!
Just wanted to know how you went about looking for related texts (particularly for Art of Travel and After the Bomb).
Also how did you spread your subjects across your three hours of daily study?

1. Do you have any tricks dealing with legal studies as it is a lot of content, and is there anything specific you must remember?
