General Mods & Feedback Needed

3 Upvotes

Hi All!

I hope you're all getting value from r/ATAR.

The subreddit has grown so much in just a year, and we're now starting to draw quite a bit of traffic and engagement naturally. I'm excited for what is to come as we continue to grow, hopefully we can truly make the best universal subreddit (and future Discord server 👀) for all high school students across all states in Australia.

With the subreddit consistently growing month-on-month I'm in need of additional moderators to help me keep on top of posts and comments. Please let me know if you'd like to help out with moderation, ideally you'd be a consistent contributor and current ATAR student or recent high school graduate / uni student.

Also feel free to let me know if there's anything you'd like to see (features / weekly threads / resources etc) from the subreddit or if there's any way we can improve it. Genuinely want this to be the best space for high school students in Aus!

Send through a Mod Mail if you're interested in moderation.

Thanks,

Mod Team

Why Is Everyone so kind and helpful?

45 Upvotes

Ever since joining this subreddit, I have gotten so much valuable insight and advice. Not just that, massive thanks to 'Background-Height885' (whoever he is) and Nilesh for really giving me so much of their time to help a complete stranger (especially Nilesh who wrote like a whole 2 pages of feedback on an essay I barely thought would even be read). Everybody here helps each other out even though we are all online strangers and it has inspired me to do the same too.

I never thought strangers on the internet would actually donate their time to others why do you do this? Like there's always those 1 or 2 people who write like full body paragraphs and conclusions to some of the questions here (and some of my mine). I just want to thank everyone.

VCE Is there no hope for my ATAR?

4 Upvotes

Unfortunately I haven't been going that well in VCE this year, or well in school overall. The atar calculator for deakin estimates my atar to be 62.18 (solely from my grade averages at school), and im slightly worried that my english study score might not actually make it to 25. Ive had a lot going on this year, there was a death of one of my classmates/friends, my grandpa has been sick for awhile and recently passed away about a week and a bit ago right before exams, and there's no way i can add his death to my SEAS since its closed now. How much does SEAS actually help? I recently got diagnosed with ADHD too during term 3 this year, I was hoping I'd be put on medication and actually would be able to study but it doesn't look like thats the case right now as the meds dont seem to be working very well, I put ADHD on my SEAS tho, same with high blood pressure, the deaths and anxiety. I do live in the northern suburbs tho, and my school is in there too, apparently the northern suburbs are underrepresented and they give a slight ATAR boost because of it? My school is a part of the SNAP program tho, and I want to go to RMIT anyway. Is there realistically any hope of me getting into courses that require 70-75+ atar?

Did I just ruined my future??

• Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm new to Reddit and idk where to post this, but I (year 10 nsw hs student) wants to pursue medicine. The problem is in maths I'm not doing quite well (we're talking straight C's), but I'm really passionate about doing medicine as my career (maybe) by maybe I mean I don't think I can even make it. I'm doing pretty bad in all of my subjects, no joke and now I'm rethinking my career path. It's not that I don't study, idk I feel like no matter how much effort I put in it never shows in my marks. Anyways, I just did my maths exam and there's no way I can get into Maths Adv now, and I'm really upset I'm crying as I'm typing. My other subjects are bio and chem for year 11 and I'm pretty happy about that, but not only am I stuck in standard maths I'm also stuck in standard english. What do I do? Have I just ruined my future? Can I still pursue medicine, or do I have to think about another career path? I feel like I'm probably gonna get a low atar as well. I don't really care how long it takes to get into medicine, it could take decades, and I'll still want to do it. However, if we're talking about other career paths, I like a high-paying job (my parents don't want me to do trade or stocks). But yeah, any advice? or am I genuinely cooked?

Edit: I forgot to mention my school system has a grade requirement for maths and english, A for extention, B for Advanced C for standard. I just missed the cutoff by a few marks..I'm so pissed at myself

HSC Has anyone had an HSC illness/misadventure application approved for the flu?

2 Upvotes

My exam is tomorrow and I’m sick with flu symptoms(feeling really weak and sleepy, with a headache, blocked nose, sore throat and burning eyes.)
I still want to sit the exam and do my best, but I’m considering applying for illness/misadventure. I’m planning to tell the supervisor beforehand and see a doctor immediately after the exam on the same day after as required .
Has anyone been through this? Was your application accepted? I’m worried they might reject it

exam advice from my favourite teachers

16 Upvotes

"treat the final exam like a second chance at the things you previously got wrong."

"whether your atar is 90, 70 or 50, it doesn't determine your worth."

"try your best in the moment, the marks will look after themselves."

for my icons going into healthcare: "in the future, no patient will ever ask you how long you spent at uni or what your atar was. they won't even pay attention. instead, they'll remember the way you treat them and how you make them feel."

⭐️ "the exam is 50% of your grade, not 50% of your life."
