Secrets of the HSC.
"What you tend to do is spend time on subjects that you like…but by going to the Secrets of HSC Seminar I learnt that if I sacrifice abit of time on Maths and put it into English, it will be really beneficial to my ATAR." Anirudh Theertham, Normanhurst Boys. See Full Testimonial
The Secrets of the HSC Seminar is a free 1.5 hour presentation that shows you, step-by-step, how your ATAR is calculated and how scaling impacts your ATAR.
HSC Scaling and the calculation of your ATAR is a topic that many schools choose to avoid. However, given that your ATAR determines what degree and carrer you can choose, it makes sense to understand exactly how it works. A solid understanding of how your ATAR is calculated can help you allocate your time efficiently, or in the most ATAR maximising way.
The seminar will show you:
| + | Exactly how your ATAR is calculated |
| + | How to translate the ATAR you want into a mark in each of your subjects |
| + | What effect your school has on your ATAR (will going to a good school 'pull' you up, or will going to a weak school 'drag' you down) |
| + | How different subjects scale (for e.g. Mathematics vs Humanities vs. Sciences vs. English) and what subjects you should consider if you are going onto Year 11. |
| + | How to use this information to gain a competitive advantage. |
