Title: CLASS of 2021
Post by: Mr. Universe on June 12, 2018, 06:00:52 pm
Hi Guys,

Josheph41 said that we should create a class of 2021 topic as it is part of the AN tradition. So here is my first ever new topic.
Feel free to have a discussion and general talk.

Hope I didn't screw up something badly! p.s. The chat is changed from JMSS Class of 2021 to Class of 2021


BEST YR 12 CLASS EVER

Hey!

Fellow Class of 2021 student here. What subjects are you taking this year? :)

P.S. Is this going to be a JMSS thread? You can change the title by clicking on the modify button on your post.

Great electives. I'm taking French, nanotechnology, and drama (because why not?  8) ). The JMSS electives sound pretty cool indeed!

Nanotechnology is the application of science and engineering conducted at the nanoscale. It can be used to do things like manipulate atoms in a glass so that it doesn't break when dropped.

What was it like and what kind of content did you cover? We spent half of term 1 learning definitions to do with nanotechnology. We've done hardly any pracs and only shallowly touched on concepts. Hope it’s better for you at JMSS.

Hi,
Any class of 2021 people doing units 3&4 subjects next year? I'm kind of worried about the workload haha.
Class of 2021 student here! And you are doing two 3/4 subjects in Year 10?!?!?!!?  If this is so, I advise you to put all your effort in them because I assume you would have more time? As you haven't started other 1/2? I wish you the best of luck next year and hope to hear more about your workload as I am going to be completing two units 3/4 subjects in 2020.

Hey! That is a tricky question that I believe should be dependent on my next year's performance in Math Methods.
My teacher told me that Specialist and Methods would work well if you studied them together, so I was thinking whether there was a correlation between them.  I'm leaning towards two science subjects (Biology and Chemistry), not Physics, possibly a Commerce Subject (Legal Studies, Accounting or Economics), an English subject and possibly if Methods goes smoothly, Specialist Maths.

I think the one I am most worried about is English because it has to be in your Top 4. :(( I wish it didn't have to be.

And will this thread be upgrade to VIC Year 10 or VCE Discussion next year as we will not be in Year 9 next year?

No worries :)

Since there haven't been any responses to the prior post, it's probably unread by most people & thus will show up.
If double posting was allowed we'd have more issues with spammy-ness and the forums being more difficult to read. It may seem like a small difference, but it all adds up.

In general, if you have questions about atarnotes' rules I'd encourage you to read this thread as it might help clarify them :)

I was in a similar situation when I did Business 1/2 as a Year 10 student. The class was full of Year 11s and I knew nobody. I think it was actually a benefit, the distractions of friends etc. were removed so I could focus more. Obviously you get a feeling of 'me vs everybody else' and that's natural, but in the long run it'll benefit you :) Perhaps it may even be a motivating factor...

At some schools VCE subjects are started at the end of the previous year. Eg, year 11 classes starting in the last couple of weeks of year 10.

I just finished my first week of two 1/2s (Methods and Biology). It gets easier being in a class with people you don't know very much if a. you feel comfortable with your teacher, or b. some of your friends are in the same class. So far it doesn't seem the workload will be too heavy as long as you put in a bit of effort outside of school hours.

By the way, really envy those of you that get to do 3/4s in year 10, my own school even refused my request to start physics 1/2 stating it was too hard :(

Hey guys, let's bring some life back into this thread, shall we?
It seems like it's been quite stagnant for a while now.
Why don't we start by discussing our ATAR goals and how we may achieve them?

I plan on doing these 6 subjects:

I'm somewhat realistically aiming to achieve ~40 Raw in all of them.
Though, I think that Physics could be in the mid-late 40s and so could methods. The rest is likely a ~40.
English is my downfall so I think that realistically I could expect a 35 raw and similarly for Spesh if not slightly higher.

Goal ATAR: 98<
I know that this is quite ambitious, but if you aim high and miss, you'll still be higher than if you'd aimed lower!
I hope others share their thoughts and goals!  :)

Great advice! I understand how you may feel for your school not allowing you to do 3/4 in yr 10 despite you potentially having the ability to do so. Unfortunately, some things that school do, take away opportunities from students. But, you never know for sure, you may just be better off not doing a 3/4 in yr 10. It could be that doing the 3/4 so early could result in a lower study score than what you may get by doing it in yr 11 or 12. So just think optimistically! :)

I will happily reply! My VCE plan is not complete yet, but this is roughly what I think I will do:
1. English/English Language
2. Math Methods
2. Specialist Maths
3. Chinese SL
4. Physics
5. University Mathematics
I would also love to do EI or Algorithmics, but unfortunately the logistics of doing more than 6 subjects seems unfavourable...

For ATAR in general, I have the soft goal of 99, which is unrealistic but what I would love to achieve. My minimal goal would be 95.

I'm not sure what my goals for the individual subjects are: probably a scaled 40 and or above for most of them. I have picked the subjects I both achieve highly in and enjoy, and place my biggest hopes on methods (soft goal of 48?) and University Mathematics. I probably won't do too bad on my English subject as I've achieved consistent high grades for year 9 so far, let's hope  ;D

As for how I would achieve them, I think I would need to first experience the workload of a 3/4 subject before I truly know how I would cope with VCE. As of now, in subjects such as English and Methods I have tried completing practice exams and sacs under timed conditions. The future still seems quite far away!
Title: Re: CLASS of 2021
Post by: lm21074 on December 21, 2018, 07:33:24 pm
We actually have a thread for discussing our plans for VCE! :) Mine is below (maybe insert physics or specialist in there because I've developed a recent interest in astrophysics/astrobiology):
- Psych (3/4 in Year 11) - The brain fascinates me. I read the study design and I was drawn to psych :)
- Health (3/4 in Year 11) - Interested in health and wellbeing in Australia and the rest of the world.
- Chem - Chem really tickles my whiskers. Chem pracs are cool.
- Methods - Maths is fun when I understand it. Nuff said.
- Bio - Human biology is awesome. Learning about organisms and their functions is fascinating to me.
- English Language - Language acquisition and language change sounds like something I would be interested in learning about. Really looking forward to studying EngLang.
I used to have an ATAR goal of 98+, but the way I view it now is that I should just try my best, put in the effort, study regularly and healthily and be surprised by the number I get. Hoping it's a good surprise but either way, it's always a learning opportunity no matter how it turns out. Aiming for science/arts or science/biomed @ Monash with the intention of doing teaching, med, or maybe even dentistry, veterinary medicine, research, or psychology afterwards. I'm clearly undecided! :D

What are your future plans? :)

In terms of future plans I only roughly know I would want a career in a S.T.E.M field. I would probably study science at either Melbourne or Monash (with a potential double degree at Monash). With my broad range of interests I could realistically go into many fields - such as research science/mathematics, engineering, medicine, field biology, economics etc. I feel like I better decide soon haha!

6. ~ currently idk

Ultimately aiming for a 99+ ATAR so I can study abroad :) (Ultimate dream)

I know you were directing this to turtlesforeveryone but I had a look for myself and I found it really interesting. I love the concept, I think that's mainly due to my passion for the sciences.

@lm21074
For my future plans, I'd say that they are almost exactly the same as turtlesforeveryone. I too, have a diverse range of interests but would likely go into the STEM field (which, yes, id still quite broad). I think in terms of University, I'd likely go to Monash or Melbourne University. A large deciding factor in my decision is whether I get accepted in KLD or Monash Scholars (or neither :P).

I'm pretty happy with how the year 9 community has been going - especially since it's so new for AN to have a dedicated section - always good to see activity here :)

I'm glad you might be able to better decide what you want to go into now :) Of course, if you have questions about the course definitely feel free to ask


I did the KLD program (didn't attend a Monash Scholars school) & obviously ended up choosing Monash instead. It was a little weird that I had unimelb merch and knew that campus better than Monash when I first started this year, but ultimately hasn't been important. I suspect vice-versa would also be true

English is my downfall so I think that realistically I could expect a 35 raw and similarly for Spesh if not slightly higher.

Goal ATAR: 98<
I know that this is quite ambitious, but if you aim high and miss, you'll still be higher than if you'd aimed lower!
I hope others share their thoughts and goals!  :)

Hi, I'm pretty late on this
My subjects and goals are much more ambitious : /

Subject & Raw Aim
Methods: 45+
Spesh: 45+
Chem: 40+
Lit: 45+
Bio: 45+
Jap: 42+
ATAR: 99.90+

How I will achieve:
Study smart not hard

Hey chopsticks!

Nice to see another Class of 21 forum member!

What does 'study smart, not hard' mean to you? :)



Who's excited to finish this year off? Can't believe we are heading into Year 11 already!

Hi all,
I'm a bit late to the party but here's my plan for the next few years.

2020:
Methods

2021:
Eng Lang
Specialist
Physics
Italian
UMEP Maths

Aiming for around 40+ for most of them. Methods and Physics are probably more like a 43+ and Italian and Spesh are around 38+.
ATAR aim: 98.5+. I'm looking to do BComm at UoM which has 95 guarantee but would like to do better.

Anyone else going to get a head start over the summer for next year?

Hey guys, on behalf of @turtlesforeveryone I would like to ask you this question :

Say we have a 2 metre long, solid metal pole. At t=0 the temperature of the pole can be described as 1-x^2.
The edges of the pole are fixed at 0 degrees Celsius.

What is the temperature at the middle of the pole at 10 seconds?

Very similar to the subjects I studied (including doing bio 3/4 (and nothing else) early). VCE can be intimidating but you'll get through it (eventually) and we're here to help - if you have any questions about atarnotes, VCE life, your subjects etc. please feel free to ask :)

Definitely nothing to apologise for and not too late - good luck for your VCE journey!

I hope I’m not too late, but I’m gonna ride this wave as well. My VCE subject for 2021 are;

Bio 3/4 ~All I can say is eww, to all my fellow bio students; I’ll pray for you.
 Chem 1/2 ~ I actually love year 10 chemistry so I look forward to this one
Methods 1/2 ~Math is my favourite subject, I wanted to do spesh but they don’t offer at my school ;(
English because I must.
Psychology 1/2 ~ I originally chose legal but idk why I just panicked and changed to psyc.
In 2021 I also plan on taking further 3/4  ;D
I dream of a 99, but I’ll be happy with anything over 85.

Hello Izzythebear123!

Great mix of subjects there! :)

Regarding General vs Methods, I'd consider:
- what topics in maths you enjoy. Methods features topics such as calculus, algebra, trigonometry and probability whereas Further has a focus on topics applicable to real life such as financial maths and geometry.
- what you would like to do / study after Year 12. Some university courses require the completion of methods - pre-requisites for university courses you're interested in (you can search for uni course pre-reqs here.)

All the best for Year 11! :)

Hey aspiringantelope!

I have this cheeky habit too haha. The ways I'm trying to cope with distractions are the following:

- Set a timer for 5 minutes and do some work. This usually helps me to get into the flow of work, but if not, I will remind myself of the why behind my subject choices.

- Find out what the distractions are. Something that distracted me for a little while was my phone. On my phone, I downloaded a free app called Your Hour that recorded how much time I was spending (wasting) on my phone (sometimes it was in excess of 4 hours :( ) and on each app, which really helped with pinpointing what I was wasting my time on. The app also has a phone fast option where you cannot use your phone for 2 hours. There are also apps like Forest that are designed to help you stay on task too by using an incentive (like planting a cute little tree!). Airplane mode and putting electronics in a different room / studying in a different room to distractions can be useful too.
There are also browser extensions like StayFocused on Google Chrome which can limit your time on certain sites of your choosing.

- Find out why you are being distracted and address those reasons head on. It might be helpful to use those distractions as a reward for studying! If you enjoy a certain hobby, you don't need to banish it.

- To-do lists to plan study sessions. It is easy to say that you have a SAC soon, but then put off study because you aren't sure how you will do so (if that makes sense). Planning what you will do before can help you ease into study more by having direction.

Sorry for the ramblings! Hope this helps :) All the best for this year (and beyond)!

I agree! I've been focusing on school and going to St John Ambulance meets as an extracurricular... and the procrastination visits to AN :)

I was a bit stressed about the SAC, but it wasn't as bad as I thought haha. Don't think I did too well though because I think I may have confused undernourishment with malnourishment (it was a graph to do with undernourishment and the question asked to link it to health as a resource). There's nothing I can do about it now, except prepare for the next SAC!

All the best with HHD, Jeyda! :)

Online learning is going alright for me I guess :(. I dislike it but it is what it is.

3/4 further is going great for me. We have finished Data Analysis and the SACs for it and have moved onto recursion and financial :)

3/4 methods, on the other hand, isn't too crash hot. I have 4 SACs in 2 weeks and I haven't started studying for them. We also have not done two chapters (differentiation and its applications) that are going to be on the SAC eek! I need to get a wriggle on and will hopefully start some good revision this weekend.

Hey :)

It sucks not seeing people - video calling will never compensate completely, but I've found that it definitely helps ease the I-Need-To-See-People feeling a little.

5ish weeks left. We can do this.

Can feel this. Definitely try zooming (playing online games is very fun w friends and takes your mind off everything and gives you a good laugh) or maybe even going for a 1 hour walk with someone in your 5km radius (socially distanced and wearing masks of course). Getting outside is very helpful and being able to talk to someone is very nice :)

How has everyone been finding the readjustment to online learning? How are SACs being organised at your schools?

• 1/2 Chemistry
• 1/2 Biology
• 1/2 History (20th Century)
• 1/2 French
• 1/2 English Language

Hi Elisabeth!

Good job on completing Further Maths in year 10! I am doing it as one of my accelerated 3/4s this year (the other being maths methods) and I am really enjoying it. Do you have a favourite subject? We are doing pretty similar subjects (eng lang, french and chem) which is exciting! My favourite subject is definitely chemistry, it is so interesting to me and I also have an incredible teacher :)

Do you have any future plans? Is there anything outside of academics that you are involved in?

I'm glad that you have joined AN and I hope you enjoy this wonderful platform  8)

Hi Eloise! Thanks! I hope you're enjoying further and methods as 3/4s!
My favourite subject at the moment would have to be maths methods, I love my class and I love the logic of maths in general.
I don't exactly know what I want to do in the future, but I think I want to do a science degree (or something along that line) and figure it out from there - but at the moment I'm thinking medicine. What are your plans for the future?
Out of academics I'm a part of the school choir and play tennis. What do you enjoy outside of school? Do you play/keep up with any sports?

So far this is a very useful platform and organisation; I got to go to some lectures in Melbourne over the summer holidays and it's quite helpful for school and such :)

Sorry for the late reply omg its been two weeks oops I've been so busy ahh! I have similar plans, I'm not really sure what I want to do but I am liking the sound of physiotherapy or pharmacy but I will probably do a general course prior so I have time to make up my mind :)

Outside of academics I am super involved in sport, I play netball and dive outside of school and in school, I am apart of the swimming, diving, athletics, indoor cricket, hockey and volleyball teams! It sounds like a lot but I love it. I am also pretty involved in service activities and leadership, I am house sports captain this year and I have applied for a couple of leadership positions for next year too!

How has term 3 been for everyone? I know it has been a bit rough but these past couple weeks I have taken a small step back from studying and focussed on myself and my happiness and I can safely say I am the happiest I have been in months!

Title: Re: CLASS of 2021
Post by: lm21074 on October 10, 2020, 01:11:46 am
I'm so glad to see you back on the forum, Laura! :)

Personally, I'm excited to go back and finally see my peers and teachers in person but also a bit nervous in the lead up to assessments. Coming to school for SACs and the GAT amplified my gratitude for being able to attend school in person.

Remote learning has been quite a whirlwind for me (and I'm sure many others are in the same boat :() The way my school set it up initially was that we had to teach ourselves the content and submit the work we'd done each day by 8am the next day, which lead to many of us staying up late to finish work and stuffing up our sleep schedules! Luckily, my school changed the format last term so that we had a video call lesson with our teachers for each class in an attempt to mimic the school experience.

I'll definitely miss the sleep-ins, wearing comfy clothes all day and the funny moments in classes, freedom, and flexibility that came with remote learning!


What about you? How are you feeling about going back?

How's everyone feeling about going back to school in a couple of days?
I for one am extremely excited :). I have found that my mood has been so much better over the past couple of days being able to see my friends for the GAT and our in-school trial exams!

I am a bit worried about balancing finishing my 1/2 subjects while revising for both of my 3/4s but I think I am on track ??? Remote learning left me a lot less motivated however it did give me more time with less travel etc. I am quite happy to finish this year and move onto next year but I still have to get through 4 3/4 exams and 3 1/2 exams (which I think are in the same week?😩 we haven't been told out 1/2 dates but they were originally in the same week as 3 of my 3/4 exams so I am ready to fail my 1/2s ahaha)

Like lm21074 said, I will definitely miss sleeping in til 8:15 and wearing comfy clothes but I am super excited to get into some sense of normal routine!!

Hey guys :)
My name's Corey.
I will be doing units 3/4 English Language, Methods, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology next year at RMIT.
I'm currently learning the year 11 content for these subject from home.
I aim to study a bachelor of Biomedicine (major in psychology) at Melbourne starting 2022. For this I'll need an ATAR of ~95 or higher.

I am hoping to find someone who is studying these same subjects and has a similar goal to be an accountability partner :)
I've read time and time again that accountability partners have a very positive effect on success outcome.

So basically we will consistently check in with each other throughout this and next year, keeping each other motivated and accountable to effectively working toward our stated goal :)

Hello :)
I had chronic fatigue for about 5 years. Through physical, mental and spiritual means I have recovered. I want to learn about the body and mind so I can become an expert in fatigue, and spend my life helping others overcome similar challenges to the ones I've faced :)
I feel biomedicine and, the Melbourne degree in particular, will best help me achieve that.

What are your current future plans?

I'm so glad you've recovered! CFS is tough.

Really great to hear your enthusiasm for Biomed at Melbourne! Have you considered any other courses or are you set on Biomed? Also, are there any careers you've considered / are considering?


Apologies for the semi-rant below!

I used to have a really detailed plan for what my future would hold. Over time though, I've learnt from my own and others' experiences that not really anything is set in stone and things change. Some of my teachers didn't even want to be teachers when they were in Year 11 and 12. Someone I know went from disliking animals and pets to having a dog sleep next to them at night... so what life holds for me, I don't know.

In saying that, I'm really passionate about education and health. For most of my life, I wanted to become a teacher but then got swayed into the healthcare side of things. Now I'm torn haha. Will probably end up doing both or a combination of both. To be honest, my prediction is that I'll pick one and then I will switch into the other, thinking that it is better for me at the time.

So, course wise - probably some kind of generalist degree in science and then I'll go from there. :)

It's like you said, unexpected things happen that change our plans. Right now that course at Melbourne is a meaningful goal for me to aim for. When VCE finishes I'll reassess my options and set a new course :)
My overall mission to use my personal experience to help others is what's driving me though. I don't see that changing soon.

Nice plan. You can do double degrees you know :)

What are your current study goals, and what are your current study habits?  Do you think your current level of performance will get you where you want to go?

Nice!

Yes, very aware of the double degree option and some are quite high on my preferences, particularly the generalist ones :)

Those are some good questions. Do you mean study goals as in the long term? I don't really have an ATAR goal because I feel as though I would get too caught up in the numbers game. I have an aim that I keep in the back of my mind but will have to refine my study habits a bit to reach that goal haha. When I was in the younger years of high school, I had a goal of getting a 98+ ATAR and 40+ study scores in each subject (my main motivation was to use it to get into a couple of courses I was interested in and tutoring opportunities), but I don't know how realistic that goal is nowmethods hahahahaha.

Study methods for me are mainly just revising consistently (something I have not done much this year) and keeping track of it on a spreadsheet for exams and using to-do lists to help stay organized. In an ideal world, before a SAC, I'd make a checklist with each area to revise and work away at it (either by teaching the wall or other active recall methods (I've tried recording myself speaking the content and making a podcast style clip, flashcards, teaching others, and posters and summary sheets from memory). Then spam practice questions and past SACs. Nothing really revolutionary.
tl;dr
The process is: understanding the content (making sense of it and asking questions to my teacher) --> learning the content (through the methods described above)  --> applying the content to practice questions.



What about you? :)

Hey Snow Leopard! Our transition lasts 2 weeks (ending this week and then summer hols!!!) where we jumped into work! I'm planning to just focus on English and Methods until the end of December and then grind the rest of my subjects in January just because those are my tricky subjects and arguably my most important ones. Also doing the other ones make me panic about Dec 30th so I'm sticking to what doesn't make my heart race lol. Honestly, I'm just excited for school to finish so I can celebrate!

I finally stumbled upon the VCE journey journal area of the forum - obviously I wasn’t looking very hard. Good to read through and hear some fellow class of 2021 stories and goals.

To answer your question Snow Leopard we had one week of orientation, each class for next year we had x2, 2 1/2 hour sessions. Most teachers seem okay, ranging from good to great however it’s too early to really judge. I’m planning to hopefully finish all assigned homework by Christmas, then perhaps go through and pre-note most of the year after Christmas Day.

Look forward to contributing more here in the future.

It’s going along okay for me, I think. I initially had very grand plans of going super ahead, doing many practice exams, spending much time each day doing work. In the end, I’m just doing what needs to be done before the year starts, and if time allows, complete a bit extra. How about you ‘dedformed’?

thanks for asking bean, I'm doing okay:) I do have a VCE journal if you're into reading long winded rants but tl;dr: same.

All my high school years I ditched holiday productivity, "leaving it for y12 cuz that's what's important" but I didn't get anything more than my holiday homework done. This is partly because I couldn't be bothered and partly because I didn't see a point in going ahead anymore. I did some getting ahead for Term 3 in Year 11, but reflecting on it, class just got super boring after that and my grades were still consistent with the rest of the year. At this point I'm chilling so I can get a fresh start for Term 1.

I'm super excited to get things rolling and finally finish (read: escape) school.


random but because you mentioned my username I realised it can be read as "ded formed" instead of "ded-for-med" lol. A Anyway, people call me Penelope on here because of my journal:) Good luck with term 1

How was everyone's first day of year 12?
My first day was on Friday, and I was pleasantly surprised to notice that the impression of students sort of shifts when they reach Year 12. Lots of good luck wishes and supportive conversations (:

it's been a slow start because we had the last swimming carnival, and there was some server outages so the timetable for us was a bit weird but i'm really pumped! glad to see you've got support on your side, and i've noticed some teachers become more casual and supportive towards us too :) 

at first i was scared about my subject choices (thinking they might be too overwhelming or i might disengage with them) but im actually liking things, especially with chem. we jumped right into work day 1 and i absolutely love the content. there is a lot of work though and im slightly worried about managing time but we'll smash through it.

also random but we bought pet chickens lol.

good luck to all beans

I am gonna miss school once I graduate, I can't forget all those memories that I made and the teachers who I really enjoy. I can't believe I am really in year 12.

very scary, so far the work is all easier/nicer than year 11 though? like most of the fear is all in my head? i guess it is early days and we had a shocking year 11 due to the recent 'unprecedented times'

High School has really taught me who I am and who I want to be as a person going forward.

I look back at the beginning of high school (2016) and think wow that was me?!

To think that the dab, PPAP and the mannequin challenge all happened in 2016 blows my mind ;D

2016 doesn't feel so long ago (even though it is so long ago).

I also really can't believe that I am in Year 12.

Year 12 feels a lot like Year 11 but more busy and complicated in content. It feels like more is expected of you and you expect more of yourself. You try to enjoy yourself as much as you can and you try to make the most of every moment and opportunity.

I feel this on a spiritual level. :)

Can't believe those trends were in 2016! Seems like so long ago. :o



Question for everyone: what are the non-academic traditions your school has for Year 12s?

At our school there will usually be a few dress up days where you come in a costume, in pajamas, e.t.c, there's usually also days where they'll be teacher vs. students sport events

How's everyone feeling approaching the holidays?

Nice! I hope that you get to do some of those things soon :)

If we're talking in terms of the holidays coming up (;)), I am a bit apprehensive about exam revision - there is content that my school hasn't covered yet for bio and chem, which they intended to after the exams as there wasn't time to fit it in for the SACs. There have been so many disruptions this year. But on the flip side, I'm looking forward to the weather getting warmer, hopefully having graduation in-person (last year, it was online :() and finishing exams for that sweet holiday! :)

50 days till the English exam!!!!!!

How's everyone going?

Looking extremely forward to finishing all my SACs this term + the start of next term and starting the ~exam revision~ !!
My school has struggled with keeping up with the disruptions as well but hopefully it won't affect too much of our revision time  ;D
