Ground Rules for Success
These ground rules, derived from educational research and top-performing students, were laid out to ensure effective studying and progress towards the 98 ATAR goal.
a) Learning Should Be Difficult – If learning feels easy, you're not actually learning. Struggle strengthens memory and understanding.
b) Avoid the Illusion of Learning – Passive re-reading of notes is ineffective. Instead, use active recall techniques like flashcards and problem-solving.
c) Struggle Before Looking at Solutions – Trying to solve a problem before seeing the answer leads to better retention and understanding.
d)Treat ATAR as Levels in a Game – Aim for small, incremental improvements (e.g., move from 70 to 80, then to 85, then 90+).
e) Failing a Test is Part of Growth – Failure is fine if you analyse mistakes and improve strategies for the next attempt.
f) Study Smarter, Not Harder – Prioritise high-impact material (e.g., 20% of notes will likely contain 80% of the test’s content).
TLDR, once you master learning how to learn. You can learn anything.
