Hey Ferg. Just wanted to say thanks so much for everything – you helped me so much – going from a 9 to a 17 is pretty incredible! Thanks Again Bec S.
Hi Fergus, I was really happy with results! Unfortunately i didnt get band 6 for english, i got 89. And my UAI was 92.9 so hopefully i will get into a Bachelor of Commerce or Economics at Sydney Uni. Thanks for everything though Ferg Madeline
Hi Ferg! Just letting you know how i went with english. I got a band 6, and my mark was 92. Also i got an ATAR of 92.8. Im extremely happy and a little suprised at how i went. Thankyou so much for your efforts, i couldnt have done it without you! thanks again, Claire
I really appreciate the help you guys gave me during my HSC. I am quite pleased with my results and my ATAR. I was aiming for an ATAR of 80 as i only needed 78 for my course. I ended up getting 80.7 with the extra leverage of 5 bonus marks at UNSW due to the band 5s I recieved in my HSC results. My overall HSC Advanced English mark was 83. When i started with you guys i dead set thought i was going to get like 70 or something for English in my HSC, if that! English was my worst subject and i hated it. The seminars and the online submissions and Essay Building Templates etc were extremely helpful and provided many different insights and assistance into essay writing in relation to the various texts i studied at school in contrast to the ideas i received at school. The swiftness of the online essay marking made it really helpful and quite easy to improve the essays we had been writing for each text. I do admit when i first joined Ferg and the crew i didn’t write many essays but as i got more comfortable the essays started to flow out of me and i began to put in more and more work. Thanks again and chat to you soon, Matt
Hey Ferg Firstly a BEYOND MASSIVE THANK YOU! You guys were my sanity and control during the HSC, you kept me level headed whilst everyone else was either lazing around or freaking out. In the HSC I got 80 for English (score! band 5) overall ATAR of 85, which i am quite happy with. The website was incredibly useful in helping me achieve my HSC score, being able to get feedback within 24hrs or even same day! was amazing because it allowed multiple opinions on my work. To be able to get fresh eyes to my work as appose to one person marking it who has been with the development of the work. Also the setting out of the EBT’s allowed for an effective study system that allowed me to know my work/texts and apply my knowledge to whatever question was thrown at me, as opposed to memorising general points which eventuate into paragraphs in your mind thus your repeating yourself or not answering the question. The variety of questions on the website was also really good especially because belonging was new and at school they weren't giving us as much of a variety of all the different styles of writing (lecture, essay...) and the website had a large variety of the content requirements for the questions. The points system was also really good because it is always good to have an extra incentive Would I recommend FergHSC to other students? I already have...to multiple people and quite a few had heard of you, and I will continue to recommend you. Once again thank you so much for you help and suport throughout my HSC (and previous), you told me I could get a B average when my teacher said at most I would get a high C, and for some to believe and to push me to do better meant a great deal to me. Kind Regards Matina
I strongly recommend using this program. My English results improved out of sight! Cameron
Hi Fergus, I thought I would let you know how I went in the HSC. I was really happy with all my results especially English which I gained 81 in. It was the highest mark in Standard English at my school! I ended up with a UAI of 85.05 so I was extremely satisfied and so were my parents. Thanks so much for all your help, I would not have recieved such a high mark without your help. Thank you. Katy
Hi Ferg, Its Rebecca, sorry it took sooo long to let you know my results but as soon as we got the hsc results we went away for Christmas then on our usual family holiday. i was really pleased with my english mark, which was 88 a mark im sure i would have never got without your help - so thanks again! my uai was 92.55 and i got into commerce at unsw. so overall im really happy and i would like to thank you again for all your efforts in marking and boosting my confidence especially leading into the hsc. good luck with this years hsc candidates! Rebecca
Using FergHSC saved my UAI. I got so much writing practice during the year – by the time the HSC English exams came around I was in auto-pilot!
At the end of year 11 I wasn't getting the marks I was hoping for.... I needed more feedback. .... the website offers feedback when you want it and get feedback within a couple of days. You can ask any questions you like.... you can get feedback when you need it. I tended to use it more at time when assessments were coming up. The feedback focuses on what the markers are looking for... it focuses on the course. A UAI of 98.8? I'm happy with that!
When I started doing assessments and using submissions, that's when it hit me that WOW! this is going to be useful. If was just amazing, you can't compare it. Definitely the mock trials and task questions were really helpful. It was really handy having all the practice questions, gave me somewhere to start. Color coded essays helped me understand what to include in the essays. The video lessons were good to get me back on track with essays... and I was getting a lot of feedback which was like being tutored online.
The markers gave me a lot of input... I was getting more than resources, it was online tuition.
The FergHSC website is a great resource for any HSC English student. With detailed and speedy feedback, even the week prior to the exams, Ferg and his team assist so many Year 12 students raise their marks. I received a 86 in my HSC for Advanced English, a mark that I couldn't have attained without the help from Interactive English. I encourage everyone to submit essays and get feedback as soon as possible, as it is the only way to improve. Thanks again guys, Christa
FergHSC is a great service for students to gain feedback on essays, assessments and other English tasks. The essays/grids provided me with a clear example of how notes and essays should be structured. Thank you so much for your services, especially you Ferg! I'll shout you a drink anytime.
My name is Jingwen Zhang (also known as Mitsui on the website) and I am writing to thank you and everyone involved at Ferg HSC for all the help you have given me throughout the year. Before I found the site I was getting private tuitions without success, I was failing and getting 6/20 for assessments. It got up to a point where I couldn't afford the service anymore and quitted. I only used the site for one month and jumped in rank from 70th to 29th out of 129 people! For someone who came to Australia 6 years ago and has always been struggling with English, it's a great achievement! I wish to inform you that I have achieved 85 for my HSC in English, UAI 98.75, which would be impossible without my improvement in English. Thank you very very much! Have a merry Christmas!! Best Wishes' Jingwen Zhang
FergHSC is a great service for students to gain feedback on essays, assessments and other english tasks. The essays/EBTs provide students with a clear example of how notes and essays should be structured. Additionally, the writing/reading tasks and mock trials enable students to continually submit their work to be marked, helping the student understand where they've gone right/wrong. Thank you so much for your services, especially you Ferg! I'll shout you a drink anytime. ;D Cheers P.S Your motivational emails are GREAT! Keep up the good work. -Tammy
I've found this site really useful, and it gives just that extra bit of help to push my marks up. I've told all my friends about it.
