Year 10 students are now able to access an interactive PDF version of Steps to Study for Year 10 Students from the publications area of the UAC website. Their online tool – Subject Compass – is also a great way for students to streamline their HSC subject choices and make sure that they will be eligible for an ATAR (if that’s part of their Year 12 study plans). https://www.uac.edu.au/future-applicants/subject-compass
Your aim is to attain the best HSC result you can. So, you should choose courses that you are good at, interested in and may use in the future. When considering which courses to study, explore the content of a course. For example, what are the course outcomes? Will you be required to submit a major work, or perform, as part of your exams? Talk with your teachers about your strengths and weaknesses, as well as individual course requirements, before making your selections.
