Hey ATAR Achievers, here is a post you want to remember. Around 70% of all students pursuing ATAR have math included in their 4 primary subjects; chances are, you are one of them, as am I. Time and time again, I see my closest friends overcomplicate this subject, feeling overwhelmed and studying countless hours to only scrape a 50. I’m not blaming them, as I too, was also guilty of having done this, often feeling burnt out and lost. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. What if I told you that you don’t have to spend all night cramming for that one topic you still don’t understand and that you're able to study for shorter periods to achieve the results you desire? Sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Well, today I’ll be sharing to you exactly how I was able to scale from the bottom of my class, averaging 35%, to finishing with a 93% overall. Step 1: Always be ahead of the class and stay ahead The first step I took to score high was to get ahead of my class in terms of the content they were learning. Review the content of the classes before you enter them, implement some practice questions if you can and skim over different topics. By trying to be in a position where, no matter what it is, you are ahead of your class and you have started doing practice questions or reviews on content that you have not previously covered, you are able to identify and fix mistakes earlier than those who have just started. By following this step, you can also grasp a deeper understanding of the content, so when it does come up in an exam or a test, you can understand and execute the concept easily. Step 2: Never leave work for later (it piles up faster than you expect) One of the biggest mistakes I have seen students make is underestimating the pace at which unfinished work can accumulate. Leaving just one task incomplete may seem harmless, but over time, it snowballs into an overwhelming backlog. To avoid this, adopt the "do it now" mindset. After each class, dedicate a short amount of time to revising the content covered that day. Complete all assigned homework or exercises while the material is still fresh in your mind. By tackling your work immediately, you’ll retain information better, reduce the need for last-minute cramming, and free up time to focus on challenging topics.

Hey ATAR Achievers! I want to share something that has completely transformed my study routine and boosted my academic performance: creating a customized Study Planner using First Principles Thinking and Elon Musk's Optimization Algorithm. If you’re looking to ace your ATAR exams while studying smarter, not harder, this is for you. My Journey to an Effective Study Planner Like many of you, I used to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of subjects and topics I needed to master for the ATAR exams. My study sessions were often disorganized, leading to procrastination and unnecessary stress. Determined to change this, I turned to First Principles Thinking—a method that breaks down complex problems into their most basic elements—and Elon Musk’s five-step optimization process. Here’s how I did it. 1. Question Every Requirement The first step was to question every requirement. I started by identifying what I truly needed from a study planner. Instead of accepting that a planner must have certain sections because "that's how it’s always been done," I asked myself: - Why do I need a study planner? To organize my study schedule. To track my progress. To reduce stress and procrastination. By stripping away assumptions, I focused on the core purpose: enhancing productivity and achieving academic excellence. 2. Delete Any Part or Process You Can Next, I deleted any part or process that wasn’t essential. I realized my initial planner had too many unnecessary features that cluttered my focus. For example: - Removed: Daily motivational quotes. - Removed: Multiple sections for different types of notes that I rarely used. This simplification made my planner more streamlined and easier to use, allowing me to concentrate on what truly mattered—my study goals. 3. Simplify and Optimize With the non-essential elements gone, I moved on to simplify and optimize the remaining features. Here’s what I did: - Organized by Subject: Each subject had its dedicated section with clear headings. - Color-Coding: Used different colors for each subject to quickly identify study sessions. - Integrated Study Techniques: Added sections for Active Recall and Spaced Repetition to enhance memory retention.

1. Be Respectful and Supportive - Treat Everyone with Kindness: Respect differing opinions and backgrounds. - Encourage Each Other: Offer support, motivation, and constructive feedback. - No Tolerance for Bullying or Harassment: Any form of disrespectful behavior is prohibited. 2. Stay On Topic and Add Value - Relevant Contributions Only: Keep discussions focused on academic excellence, study techniques, and ATAR-related topics. - No Spam or Self-Promotion: Avoid irrelevant links, repetitive posts, or unsolicited promotions. - Share Valuable Insights: Aim to provide helpful and meaningful content. 3. Uphold Academic Integrity - No Cheating or Plagiarism: Do not share or request exam answers, essays, or any copyrighted material. - Promote Honesty: Encourage ethical study practices and original work. - Report Misconduct: If you see something against the rules, notify the moderators. 4. Protect Privacy and Personal Information - Keep Personal Details Confidential: Do not share your own or others' personal information. - Respect Anonymity: Use discretion when discussing sensitive topics. - Safe Environment: Help us maintain a space where everyone feels secure.
