How We BOTH Got a 99.90 and 99.95 ATAR (2020) - Q&A

[@shardulinamdar2729]

Hey Archer. I'm a year 8 student and your videos have given me so much inspiration and a pathway to success. Keep up the awesome content!

[@ArcherNewton]

Thank you Shardul, that's awesome to hear :)

[@danielottobball]

This is the most underrated study channel

[@ArcherNewton]

cheers Daniel 🔥

This video really raised my appreciation for mind maps

[@ArcherNewton]

mind maps are really useful!

[@yesnt5133]

Hey archer. I am going into year 9 next year so I was just if u had any advice for my future school year's 10, 11 and 12! Keep up the content your vids have really helped.

[@emmy.vosper]

Another tip: the main points are usually summarised at the end of each chapter

[@danielandai982]

for bio it's the core concepts presented at the introduction for each subtopic in a chapter

[@Erick-fy3nx]

Hi Archer i'm a student currently in the holidays between year 10 and year 11 and I was wondering is now a good time to start studying for the UCAT or should I put more emphasis on my main subjects, although if it is how much studying should I do for it.

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi Erick, I’ve got lots of other videos on the UCAT that you should probably check out since they address your questions in more detail. Now is the best time to start because it’s very hard to fit it in during the busyness of year 12.

Thanks for the comment Davide 😊

[@alexandriabrown795]

Hey, are there any apps/websites you recommend for mind maps? Thanks for the vid!

[@ArcherNewton]

Hey Alexandria, I use Concepts :)

@@ArcherNewton thank you!

[@karenpunk2833]

hey archer, what if you don't have a sport your committed to, i would really like to start up a sport but i feel balancing out starting a new sport and year 12 may be a bit hard.

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi Karen, if you have the right study techniques and systems in place you should easily have time to start a new sport! I was able to do a lot of things in year 12 including running online businesses and maintain relationships. Hopefully the advice on my channel helps you to make time for your sport :)

[@gungeternal4119]

Think of it this way. Outside of School hours, you have around 6-9 hours before bedtime (ideally). There seems to be a negative stigma which reinforces that students need to be using every ALL of that time in order to be successful. However, this is obviously not the case because a healthy life consists of balance, and in order to be able to concentrate and learn at your prime, YOU NEED that balance. For some people it's in the form of volunteering, work or playing a sport. All of these are valid options but sport is kind of the best IMO.

[@gungeternal4119]

To summarise all that, Balance is essential and the idea that you need to spend every waking hour is untrue, in fact it is a recipe for disaster. As archer says, developing good practices now will give you more time to spend on the people and things that matter most. Good luck and I highly recommend archer!!!

[@Ancient1410]

hi archer, im goign into yr 11 this yr 2022, i am stuck on which maths to do furthermaths unit3/4 in yr 11 or do general maths unit1/2. i asked around from previous yr 11 students who did further or general and it is pretty similiar topic that you learn so whihc do you think is the best to do. if i go for further i will be completing 2 unit3/4 subjects in yr 11 and then have 4 subjects left in yr 12. please lmk :)

[@jamespeacock7517]

Hey Arch, I was just wondering whether you studied with music? Cheers

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi James! Yes I definitely listen to music while I'm studying - usually either lo-fi or movie soundtracks :)

[@DarthOreo94]

What app should I use for note-taking?

[@samtheham3187]

Great vid!

[@ArcherNewton]

Thanks again Sam!!

[@nordenlashangderpalama8876]

How is my man a pro academy footballer, got very high grades and got into med school? Need more explanation because it is hard enough to play for a professional academy let along get extremely high grades and get into med school at the same time.

[@ArcherNewton]

ahahah, it always come down to effective time management and study skills, that’s why i always say, learn to learn 🙂

[@UberBossPure]

You underestimate the power of doing sports. In the video he calls it a „reset“. In reality its far more. Sports produce happy Hormons in your body, so your quality of work increases and your stress level decreases. You will be more focused when you study. Also it’s scientifically proven then sports is good for your brain, so it „developing“ your brain too (iam not native, hopefully it was clear)

[@mrkslva4231]

can you make a minmap video

[@ArcherNewton]

I will soon, gotta make it a good one!

[@shannonmurphy824]

Have you put up the video about making mindmaps yet?

not yet!!

Hey archer, I am in yr12 this year. Do you think an ipad boosted your productivity while studying, I am considering getting one

[@ArcherNewton]

Having an ipad is more useful than not having one, if that makes sense. It's more convenient and easier to note take because you can edit it in many different ways :)

[@marissanewman9273]

I start grade 12 in less that a week, I’m shitting bricks

good luck! hope it's going well :)

How did you got medicine with general math..?

[@ArcherNewton]

depends on the entry requirements of each uni :)

[@aadeshvenkatasubramanian5151]

Hey Archer Newton i have an android phone and and iPad so can you pls tell a free todo list app in which i can do my to-do list ? As currently i am using apple reminders but it dose not sync with my android phone so can you pls help me ?

Thankyou so much

[@rpm3127]

what do you think about ext 1 maths, adv eng, business studies, biology, 1 unit religon and pe

[@eludee119]

dont do business studies, biology, pe and sor all at once, youll fucking hate it. dont do it. if ur good at maths and logical reasoning, chem and physics are way less strenuous than all those subjects.

[@abdullah-hi6cf]

Hey Archer, your friend Giovanni studied General maths and still got into medicine, I thought methods was a prerequisite for it? Can I still do General maths and get into medicine? Also thanks for posting these videos they are really helpful for me!

[@ArcherNewton]

Hi Abdullah, I'm glad that they've been useful! You'll have to check with each university about their entry requirements. Some have no subject prerequisites but with others you may need methods, biology, chemistry or english. It really depends on the uni, so make sure you check them all out individually :)

[@abdullah-hi6cf]

@@ArcherNewton Thanks so much for the fast reply!! I have chosen English as an additional language, general maths, biology, chemistry, business studies and accounting for my senior subjects. I still have time to change subjects so do you think these subjects would be good if I want to do medicine? not interested in business and accounting but doing it because required to do 6 subjects. Also sorry* for bothering you lol

[@ArcherNewton]

Up to you really ahah. You’re not bothering me.

[@abdullah-hi6cf]

@@ArcherNewton Thanks for all the help. You are a really great inspiration for me. Good luck with everything

[@fishyrishy788]

Yo I am just entering year 12 in NSW and I am very nervous. I also looked at your HOW I GOT A 99.95 ATAR video which was very helpful. With that video I found a very key aspect that I lack in. This was point one. The scaling of subjects. I like all my subjects but 3 subjects dont particularly scale well. I know this may seem too late but I just wanted to say that when I figured about scaling it was too late to switch subjects and that teacher was very strict so I was scared to ask. I also couldn't get some subjects because I stuffed my year 10 yearly exam which cost me ext. 1 maths. My current subjects are Advanced maths, advanced english, physics, engineering, multimedia and DNT (design and technology). Do you have any pointers on succeeding and getting a 90+ atar because I feel like the scaling of subjects might hold me back.

[@ArcherNewton]

Hey there, you can't control scaling so try not to worry about it and anyway, if you like the subjects you've chosen you're more likely to achieve higher results in those because you're interested in the content. And for tips, I'd just recommend implementing study techniques that I talk about on this channel because they will help you have a better understanding of concepts in a shorter amount of time. Hope that helps! :)

[@awexom7553]

How do you find past year papers, is there a website somewhere

[@ArcherNewton]

Depends on your curriculum and grade your in. Technically your preparation shouldn’t require you to rely on many past papers.

[@keshavpande5583]

What is Giovanni doing in uni?

[@karambains9571]

You can get into medicine with general math???

[@karambains9571]

@@ArcherNewton thank you for the answer

[@ariasadeghi9970]

Hi Archer, thanks for the nice video, I want to know is it necessary to take 6 subject in atar to get 95+ or we can get 95+ with 5 subject?

[@ArcherNewton]

I’m not sure how the system works in your state but doing more subjects gives you a higher probability of doing well as you have more opportunity:)

Effectively none, we just asked some simple questions for many 1-2 sessions and that was it.
