The Yearly Success Program is taught in a four stage learning cycle that combines the best of a competitive and structured class environment with the personalised learning of a private tutor.

Seminar
Students attend a weekly seminar (3 hours) in which a Talent 100 teacher systematically reviews every dot point in the syllabus. Small group teaching allows close interaction between the student and teacher, and the aim is to help students understand the theory from first-principles, rather than memorising. Students are issued comprehensive workbooks that cover the typical catalogue of questions that can be asked in the HSC, with models answers explained by teachers’ in class. There is a maximum of 13 in a class, and the average number is 8.

Examination Style Homework
Students are then issued with Examination Style Homework that helps students consolidate what they have learnt in class, whilst learning to perform under examination conditions. Our homework exactly mirrors the format, timing and difficulty of HSC examinations. All Homework is marked in accordance to the Board of Studies Standards. By regularly performing Exam-style homework, Talent 100 students are conditioned to the style, structure and rigour of HSC examinations well before they sit their first exam.

Personalised Tutorials
If a student needs further assistance, they may book for a personalised tutorial for up to an hour a week. In tutorials, a group of up to four students may ask a Talent 100 instructor to help them with their marked homework, schoolwork and even school assessment preparation. The aim is to give students individual assistance to clarify any conceptual difficulties or other questions they may have. Tutorials are currently held in one hour blocks with a range of times on Thursday to Sunday

Examination and Testing
Finally, students are tested on a regular basis at the end of each module, to see how well they can integrate their knowledge in a real-exam situation and to highlight areas of improvement before their exams at school. You can see how each step of the Talent 100 Learning System develops strong understanding of the syllabus and examination technique here

At MedStart, we help the doctors and health professionals of tomorrow gain entry into the right degrees in health science today.

To do this, MedStart has a unique learning system that helps students excel in UMAT through a four-stage process.

1. Theory
We comprehensively breakdown each of the sections of the UMAT exams. Since the exam is skills-based, we teach students the appropriate frameworks with which to tackle the questions. We have exhaustively categorised and analysed each of the question types that can be asked, and developed comprehensive and proven strategies to answer these correctly. This strong foundation in the theory forms the basis of success. It allows students to identify the question type, develop a framework to think about it, and to arrive at the correct answer.

2. Application
After explaining a framework, we show students how to apply it to the unique demands of the question, from the easiest to the most difficult of questions.

3. Practice
Our advanced online learning system gives students abundant structured practice to prepare for their UMAT exams. Theory guides help students recap the key frameworks. Drills give students the chance to develop speed and competence in answering questions. Practice Exams give students the opportunity to integrate their learning in a timed setting, and to condition them to the style, structure and "stress" of the real exam.

4. Mastery
Overall, our systematic and results-focused approach give students complete preparation and ensure they have the best possible opportunity to ace the UMAT exam.

Our unique approach to the UMAT will help students:
. Develop systematic frameworks to solve each of the question types quickly and accurately

"What you tend to do is spend time on subjects that you like…but by going to the Secrets of HSC Seminar I learnt that if I sacrifice abit of time on Maths and put it into English, it will be really beneficial to my ATAR." Anirudh Theertham, Normanhurst Boys. See Full Testimonial

The Secrets of the HSC Seminar is a free 1.5 hour presentation that shows you, step-by-step, how your ATAR is calculated and how scaling impacts your ATAR.

HSC Scaling and the calculation of your ATAR is a topic that many schools choose to avoid. However, given that your ATAR determines what degree and carrer you can choose, it makes sense to understand exactly how it works. A solid understanding of how your ATAR is calculated can help you allocate your time efficiently, or in the most ATAR maximising way.

The seminar will show you:

The Secrets of the HSC seminar is essential for all parents and students in Years 9 to 12.

Year 11 and 12
Secrets covers what ranks you will need to achieve in each of your subjects to score any ATAR and provides you with a results-focused framework to plan your studies successfully.

Year 9 and 10
Secrets gives you crucial information on smarter subject selection by showing you exactly what standards of performance you need in Maths, Science, English and Humanities – helping you understand what subjects will match your own strength and weaknesses.

The Secrets of the HSC Seminars are held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month in Epping and 2nd Sunday of each month in Chatswood. All seminars start at 4:15pm. For more information, please download our brochure.

"The Headstart course helped me develop the deeper required understanding of the subjects earlier and certainly gave me a great head start at school." - Alice Joe, Sydney Girls. See Full Testimonial

Alice Joe

"The Headstart course helped me develop the deeper required understanding of the subjects earlier and certainly gave me a great head start at school."

School: Sydney Girls

UAI/ATAR: 99.85

Academic Achievements:
1st in Physics
1st in Maths Ext. 1
1st in Maths Ext. 2
3rd in Chemistry

How would you describe the Headstart Course?

The Headstart course is an excellent, straightforward program that taught me the Year 11 course a year earlier in an easy to follow fashion. The way the head-start course is designed helped me to really grasp the concepts and gave me an advantage throughout year 11, I had already learnt the bulk of the course previously so preliminary course felt much simpler and I was much more familiar with the work. In my opinion it gave me a good advantage over my peers.

What did you like most about the Headstart Course?

I really like the way the course was structured, and how it was very to-the-point. The teachers were fantastic, and helped explain the harder concepts in a way that we could understand. They had a real sense of what we needed to know and what we didn't, so the course was very succinct. The notes also follow closely to the preliminary syllabus and the talent tips given have proven very useful during exams to obtain those final crucial marks.

Have your marks improved at school? Who should go to Headstart?

I recommend the course for those who wish to be one step ahead at school and start developing the essential concepts in advance. I believe the head-start course has really benefitted my performance so far during the preliminary course as it helped me to really understand the topics early on, so during year 11, I already had an understanding of what was expected. In mathematics, I ranked 1st for 2-unit with 100% and 98% for 3-unit. For chemistry I achieved 95% ranking 3rd and came 1st in physics with 100%. Overall I think the headstart course helped me to develop the deeper required understanding of these subjects earlier and certainly gave me a great head start at school.

So you are in Year 10, tempted to think that this is your 'rest' year the final opportunity to take things easy, before the hard work that awaits in Year 11 and 12. However, the competition for places in top University courses is fierce, and it is often the most prepared students (rather than the smartest) that score the top ATARs.

At Talent 100, our Headstart Programs gives you a competitive advantage in Year 11 and 12 by teaching you the core concepts early, so you can go on to score the top ATARs. In fact, our 2008 Headstart students out-performed their non-headstart peers in our standardised exams by an average of 6.5% in Mathematics and 5% in the Sciences. That equates to an improvement of 2.25 ATAR points!*

We call this the 'Headstart advantage'.

The two critical mistakes that many Year 10 students like you make are to:

Even if you're scoring top marks in Year 9 and 10, our Headstart programs can ensure that you remain competitive in Year 11 and 12 – the years which will ultimately determine your ATAR.

So you are in Year 9, and you are thinking there is no need to study this year. Since HSC is three years away, whatever you study now can't be possibly relevant, or improve your final HSC marks or so the thinking goes.

In fact, there are some small steps you take now that will give you a successful and easy transition into Year 11. A solid foundation in Mathematics and English is the cornerstone to succeeding in the HSC's highest scaling subjects:

The Importance of Mathematics

Developing strong numeracy will not only enable you to take the higher levels of Mathematics (i.e. Mathematics Extension 1 and 2), it will also provide a platform for you to excel in the other highest scaling subjects of the HSC (Physics, Chemistry and Economics). That is, when you are good at Mathematics, you will naturally find subjects that have a large amount of mathematical content that much easier.

Hence, developing strong mathematical skills early can help provide a strong competitive edge in non-English based courses that can often count for 80% of your final HSC. For this reason, the Talent 100 Steps course is focused on developing and improving strong mathematical foundations.

The Importance of English

English is the only compulsory subject in the HSC and it is crucial for you to excel English in order to secure a top ATAR. Developing strong analytic reading skills, and being able to write structured and concise essays are also essential to succeeding in humanities–based subjects, like Modern and Ancient History, in which written essays count for almost half of the exam.

However, developing these skills takes time, so if you're looking to secure top marks in HSC English, it's important to start early.
