How to actually get a *high* ATAR (no BS 99.95 advice)

This video covers how to actually get a high ATAR, through several no-bs advice that helped me achieve a 99.95 ATAR without excessive study. The secret lies not in extremely complicated study techniques, but rather in a few key fundaments that are essential for studying smarter, not harder - the main one being FLOW. Although some of these tips appear 'boring' or 'common sense', they are all that are necessary for achieving those top marks. I wish I could have told my younger self not to focus on trying out all the new fancy study techniques mentioned in many other YouTube videos, and instead focus on consistency.

Note: Although I did VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) in Year 12 Australia, these tips can be applied to any education system.

woah hold up, I thought I was watching a million subs channel. I can't believe how madly underrated you are cuz your content is so good!!

My simple answer is discipline. Have a disciplined lifestyle. Exercise for 20 mins when you get home. Have a snack for 10 mins but unpakc your things first. Write any notes from class and do practice papers if time permits, finish hw (play light music if you are good at it). once done, plan for next day and take 30mins-1 hr to relax

I went to a school in the 300s and I was bottom half in all my subjects. Although when I watched this video I found out that fundamentals are truely the deciding factor. I now got an atar of 95.25 🎉

Very helpful video as always!

Yes - I have realised that the key to studying is efficiency and consistency. There's no use adopting certain study techniques if you are not efficient and consistent. Of course that is easier said than done, but overcomplicating it definitely does not help. Many thanks 🙏

You know, thinking back on my past study experiences, you are right about the flow state. Comparing forcing myself to watch a lecture to actually sitting down focused and doing work without flashy techniques, getting into the flow state really helped. I was able to learn so much more by understanding the topic then forcing myself to memorise it. Getting into the state made time pass, allowed me to understand better and I felt great after the study session.

For me it's easy for me to be in the flow state, but it's not simple for me to be consistent in the flow state.

I just started yr 12 ATAR very early at the school I go to and honestly, this is the best study video I've watched yet, those 'study techniques' always overwhelmed and confused me, this makes so much sense

What happens if i just do one hour per subject every day in the flow state. For example, 1 hour of math in the morning. 1 hour of biology and 1 hour of chemistry in the afternoon. That would be effective right?

Hi I had a question. In my first EI SAC I got only 30% which was well below the lower half ranking. Can I still get a 50 study score if I give my all in other assignments. Btw that SAC counts for 7.5% of the grade and it is school assessed
