How to ACE Year 12 in 2021 (99.95 ATAR) - 99 ATAR Study Tips

Thank you Archer!! I needed this since I’m in year 12 🤣

Gosh, than you Archer, I'm in Grade 10 now, and i really appreciated that i can know you in youtube!!!!!!!

[@ArcherNewton]

Thank you!! Glad it helps, let me know if you ever have any questions :)

[@carolinek3055]

The more I watch your videos, the more getting a high ATAR feels easy to reach. You just gotta study effectively. I don't wanna jinx it tho. I'll edit my comment at the end of year to see what I got :)

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi Caroline, it’s definitely a real advantage as opposed to putting more time and effort in compared to everyone else because there will also be someone else who’s putting in more time. :)

Did you find the biology tests and assessments more difficult than the Physics content?

[@ArcherNewton]

Nah, I actually found bio easier than physics :)

Bro bio is one of the easiest subjects

Hi Sienna, have you checked out my most recent video on time management? :)

[@RealMr.1]

What subjects did you choose for Year 11 and 12 ?

[@kik5496]

How you catch up year 11 math method for unit one test?

[@ArcherNewton]

You need to find exactly what's most important and use your time to focus on that :)

[@samtheham3187]

Great video!!

[@ArcherNewton]

Thank you Sam!!

[@FM-dm8xj]

how many hours do we do a day and a week for each subject? thanks

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi! There's really no lucky number of how many hours to study. It depends on a lot of different factors including how well you understand the content and your study efficiency. When you are studying, make sure to focus on your weaknesses and understanding concepts rather than memorisation. Feel free to check out my other videos about studying and year 12 :)

[@mrkslva4231]

Hi archer what subjects did you do for year 12

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi Mark, these are the Year 12 subjects I did, plus 2 uni subjects :) Specialist Mathematics Mathematical Methods English Psychology Biology Physics Research Project Music: Solo Performance Music: Ensemble Performance

[@aznatyles7626]

Hey mate. I’m really confused how to get into the Flowmodoro technique and use it? Do you just go into the flow state by removing all distractions and set a timer for 25 minutes?? Sorry I’m very confused please help me understand, I watched your video on it and don’t understand sorry..

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi Azn, You put a timer that counts up instead of counting down and as soon as you lose focus, stop the timer, divide the time you studied by 5 and that's your study break. Hope that helps! Please let me know any other questions you have!

[@aznatyles7626]

So basically when I get home, I will start a timer as I enter the flow state and when I lose focus - say like 45 minutes, then I take a 9 minute break? Do I just repeat the process once I run out of time and need to go to bed? Also isn’t there a chance of you getting burnt out with this method as you could work hours to end without getting distracted?

[@aznatyles7626]

Thanks for the info Archer, appreciate it!

[@aznatyles7626]

Also why divide by 5? Just curious. Also did you make the flow modoro?

[@marzia9274]

Hii I am doing Physics, Bio, Maths ext 1, Eng adv, business study and PDHPE. In year 12 i want to drop out of 1 subject. I'm not sure if I should keep Business or PDHPE. I am good and like both. So, I want to keep the one that scales the highest. But i dont know which scales high. Can u please recommend me which one i should keep?

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi there! I didn't do those subjects in year 12 SACE so I don't know the scaling. In general, you should choose the subject that you think you can achieve higher in. Maybe also look at the assessment types - whether there's an exam, written assignments, tests, oral presentations, etc. - and how well those play to your strengths too. Hope that helps :)

[@Zellbell9]

Hey, I’m doing pretty much the same subjects except chemistry instead of physics haha. I’m in that position with economics and pe and I believe that pe and business studies are sorta similar in high amounts of content that isn’t particularly difficult. For me I’m keeping PE because I want to do something like med or pharmacy and could always fall back on physio or exercise science or something like that which I’d have to have PE for.

[@marzia9274]

@@Zellbell9 thanks a lot for the advice :)

[@ngochanhoang5996]

Hi, I am an international student and I am not sure if they use both year 11 and 12 score to calculate the ATAR or only year 12 score?

[@olivierd256]

only yr 12, though if you are really smart in a certain subject (such as maths) I believe you can do it in yr 11.

[@catherinearaneta9936]

Hello .... i am an international student and in my country our exams were not held in class 11th due to covid-19. Now i am in class 12th and i am trying very hard . But i am confused if my 11th will ruin my atar . Can you help me out with this confusion?

[@ArcherNewton]

It would depend on what happens in your country so I'm not sure sorry. Maybe ask one of your teachers :)

[@simonyousif9123]

how many hours do you study daily for a 85 atar and how many subjects do i study in that many hours on that day??

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi Simon, I have no idea how to answer this ahah. Each person is different and it'll depend on heaps of factors like what subjects you're doing and how efficiently you study :)

[@largestfern]

How does one achieve a 99.95 ATAR? Does it mean they have maintained something like a 95% average in 4 subjects in their last year of highschool? Utterly confused! XD

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi there! ATARs rank students against each other, with a 99.95 meaning that someone has achieved in the top 0.05% of their state. So you can't calculate or predict the percentage for a subject because it will change each year depending on how well students across the whole state perform. Hope that helps :)

[@gussy_44]

I’m in year 7 right now can I have some advice?

[@ArcherNewton]

that's a really broad question, I try to put the best tips in all my videos so definitely watch those, but it's all about learning how to learn so you can study most efficiently and effectively :)

[@dajoubuloba5440]

Can you study one hour each subject as an year 12 student

[@ArcherNewton]

Yup I studied less

[@dajoubuloba5440]

@@ArcherNewton okay so I wanted to ask how balance BTW UCAT AND YOUR STUDIES AT THE SAME TIME I MEAN YOUR ATRA

[@ArcherNewton]

Sorry for the late reply - I don't get notified about comments in streams! Basically it's all about developing your time management and study efficiency, which I talk about a lot in my other videos :)

[@Joelcgm]

When did u start doing exams? And how many did you do?

[@ArcherNewton]

I started doing full practice exams like 1 month out from exams. Doing full practice exams is the last part of a good exam strategy and if done earlier, means the focuses and prioritisation is in the wrong place. I did quite a few in year 12 and now do zero in university.
