r/QCE

Any tips to overcome this work overload it feels like Im getting fucked with assignments every week

In terms of prestige what uni is more likely to land you a job at big companies?

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Im not able to access the website

I’m in Year 12 right now, and it’s one of the worst experiences in my life. I’m prepping for externals too, but I don’t have the motivation to even study or try hard. My friends have predicted 99+ ATARS (they all take spec too), while I don’t. I’m a predicted 97-98 ATAR and I have a horrible UCAT score that I’m not sharing on the internet. They all have really good UCAT scores. I feel really sad, and I’m crying from stress every single day. I genuinely can’t do this anymore and I really just want to stop. I feel like I’ve disappointed my family and I’m really sorry for them cause I know how much they invested a lot into me. I was talking to someone the other day and they said they got full marks for everything. It really crushed me too because I wish I was them if I wasn’t so lazy and overwhelmed. I’ve been so behind in my preparation too and I’m struggling with physics especially because it’s so hard. I don’t know what to do :( I’ve complained about it before but I have no motivation for anything and I wish I can have fun in life.

I've had very low grades all year (13/25) for all IA's and I am not very optimistic that I'm gonna pass my external. Will I lose all 4 QCE points? I am afraid about my ability to graduate due to this ONE class

this isn't super qce related but i am currently doing ib in qld and im applying to uni through qtac but my parents want me to apply to go interstate too. the thing is that i dont want to go interstate, but they're practically forcing me to and its this whole ordeal and a huge point of contention. how feasible is it to just like ring up universities and ask them to reject me on my applications interstate? like can i do that or?

Hello!

Im a y12 qce student whos starting exam prep 2 months and 13 days before the externals, just finished classes and onto revision for mocks and basically just catchup. I do methods, spec, chem,physics and english as my subjects. Im ot worried abt my internal marks as they were all A"s except for english but i need advice on how to prep for these exams. Their are some topics i needa revise or relearn and im a bit confused on how to effectively study and retain the information studied. Any tips please :D

Doing Year 10 subject selections and looking for opinions from people who have done a Diploma of Business in Year 11 and 12 as one of their ATAR subjects. Not sure much about it yet but apparently it’s only offered exclusively at some schools and gives you a guaranteed ATAR of around 87 as a baseline.

I’m planning to go down a medical treatment pathway after school, so I don’t see myself using the business qualification. As someone who doesn't want to burn myself out doing 6 actual subjects is it still worth doing for the ATAR advantage, or would I be better off choosing subjects that are more relevant to my future pathway?

Would appreciate honest opinions from anyone who has actually done the diploma.

Hey guys, I’m a student studying in a rural area. However, I only moved here in 2023, so I don’t qualify for the Rural Access Scheme. I’m wishing to do dentistry but, with my current results, it’s looking unlikely, even though I got a competitive UCAT score (2450). I was wondering if QCAA/QCE allows for me to:

A) do Year 13
B) drop down to Year 11 this year.

I did terribly in my Chemistry IA1 (7/10) and Modern History IA1 (16/25), and I fully regret doing Modern History (I swapped into it from Physics this year). If I were to drop down to Year 11 or do Year 13. If I do end up doing either one of those options, I plan to switch to Geography, as it seems much easier for me to handle and to do well in, looking at all the IAs and the 2025 external paper.

My current subjects are:

• General Maths
• Chemistry
• Modern History
• Biology
• Economics
• English

My sixth subject is General Maths, as I am just averaging C’s and B’s.

I did okay in my Modern History IA2. I got a 22/25. However, I don’t think I will be able to perform well in the external.

My current predicted range is looking like 91–95, but realistically I need a 97–99. Even if I was getting all 100s in my subjects, it would only scale up to a 98.35 (2025 scaling).

Although we are on a new curriculum and scaling can look very different, with all the topics QCAA has removed, it’s likely they will scale down rather than up. Some people have been saying that QCAA scales up on new curriculum, but I’m very unsure.
