amazing... 5hrs/weekday and 8hrs/weekend, no wonder this guy succeeded. When I asked the high achievers how they did it, they would always say the same thing - practice everyday. There's really no shortcut. Thanks for the informative video ☺️

[davidforrest]

I like this guy he's on the hustle.

to the peeps who are stressing: don't worry too much about your atar, all you need to do is try your best. In many cases even if you don't get a high enough atar you still sometimes can be accepted into the course you want to do, or you can transfer to the course you didn't get into down the track. PLEASE just know that your atar does not define you. Also no one talks about atars after high school. Good luck! from a 2020 graduate

Hi YouTube, WHY have you recommended this to me? I've already DONE the HSC, it's gonna be a bit difficult for me to GO BACK and get a better ATAR

[toniweis]

Gosh I hope the students listen to you. We teachers say this over and over again but we are often ignored.

Hey I’m a year 10 student who is going to year 11 this year and I was wondering when do you think it is the perfect time to drop a subject

[a.b]

You ever get the feeling that you’re just not smart enough.

[anakin]

So helpful just starting year 12 this year

[hanishthimmaraja]

Oh this is actually useful for me as I am going into yr 10, I have one year to get used to a new timetable and a new mindset and get ready for next year, love the video man, I appreciate you sharing your tips to us.

Scaling was where I messed up in, my teachers never told me the specifics of how each subject is scaled differently. So I picked my subjects, did well in them, expected a decent/good ATAR and got way below what I expected. Hit me pretty hard tbh. Still got offers to uni so there’s that.
