Q: Can you introduce yourself and tell us about your results?
A: I achieved a 99 ATAR and a Band 6 in Chemistry. Around Term 2, I found out I was ranked first in Chemistry, which really surprised me β€” in Year 10, I would never have predicted something like that. My name is Guhan and I studied Chemistry at Elevate.


Q: What role did practice exams play in your preparation?
A: Practice exams were crucial in my learning journey. At Elevate, they offered an exam for every module, and my tutor and I treated each one like a real exam. This shaped my mentality for the actual HSC exams and made me much more confident.


Q: How did Elevate’s theory lessons and resources help you?
A: I found the theory β€” especially the extracts β€” much easier to digest at Elevate. The explanations were clear, and it was convenient to take in and understand the content.


Q: Did you receive any extra support from Elevate?
A: Yes, a couple of times.

  • In Year 11, I had a practical task coming up, and Elevate ran a practical skills session just for me and my classmates.

  • In Year 12, I had a Module 8 task coming up that we hadn’t covered in the main Elevate course. Elevate went out of their way to teach it to us β€” free of charge.


Q: What’s your number one tip for future students?
A: Have the self-motivation to go deeper than the syllabus. If you go deeper, you really solidify the β€œwhys,” and the β€œwhys” are what build true understanding.


Q: How would you describe your relationship with your tutor?
A: My tutor was more than just a tutor β€” he was a role model to me. He was always there to help, beyond just academics, even with life in general. He helped me with stress during the HSC period and gave advice on life decisions. Over time, we built more than a tutor–student bond β€” I made a good friend along the way.


Q: How did your tutor prepare you for exam questions specifically?
A: He gave us designated structures to answer certain types of questions, which really prepared us for the real thing.


Q: What would you say to someone considering joining Elevate?
A: I think they should definitely do it.
