ATAR
Estimator:
The ATAR
Estimator is available to senior students wishing to get
an idea about their current situation. The ATAR Estimator
is based on the past four years of HSC results and the
scaling processes used for each year. It is recommended
to use this program after your Trial HSC Exams.
This is not an accurate measure as it is based on past
years and is absolutely depends upon the accuracy of the
HSC estimate used. Each year the scaling is based on the
scores of the individuals and groups of candidates
sitting for each subject.
You must
make an appointment with Ms Drenkhahn to use this
program. She will discuss your results and offer advice
on strategies for study programs, improving examination
techniques and results.
Remember!
Study is
not just reading over notes. Information must be
processed and reduced to learnable chunks. Summarize,
summarize, summarize.
You should
treat the senior years like a 40 hour per week job. Your
time at school for learning and completion of tasks and
homework accounts for 30 hours. You need to manage your
time effectively. The remaining 10 hours of study means
at least 2 hours per night for 5 nights (on top of
homework not completed at school) and there will be a
need to complete larger tasks and reading during part of
the weekend.
You must
work smarter with good strategies. Seek help and advice
as soon as your are aware of the need and maintain a
consistent effort.
