SLEEP DEPRIVATION
![Page 13: Year 12 Parent Information Session · Semester 2,2017 Semester 2 TAFE Courses, Skillhire, Employment Contact Shane Lucas 92592254 Contact Ann Patrick 92592258 2018 Bridging Courses](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042417/5f334aba32b9a11ea20e2f87/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1. Don't skimp on exercise or sleep
Physical exercise increases oxygen to your brain and
reduces the risk of memory loss
Research shows that sleep is necessary for memory
consolidation, with the key memory-enhancing activity
occurring during the deepest stages of sleep.
2. Make time for friends and fun
TIPS FOR IMPROVING MEMORY
![Page 14: Year 12 Parent Information Session · Semester 2,2017 Semester 2 TAFE Courses, Skillhire, Employment Contact Shane Lucas 92592254 Contact Ann Patrick 92592258 2018 Bridging Courses](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042417/5f334aba32b9a11ea20e2f87/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

4. Give your brain a workout
Memory, like muscle strength, requires you to
“use it or lose it.”
The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to
process and remember information.
The best brain exercising activities
break your routine and
challenge you to use and develop new brain pathways

An ATAR ranges between 99.95 and zero and reports your rank position relative to all other students. It takes into account the number of students who sit the WACE examinations in any year and also the number of people of Year 12 school leaving age in the total population.
Your Tertiary Entrance Aggregate (TEA) which is the sum of the best four scaled marks taking into account unacceptable subject combinations (out of 400), will be calculated and then converted to an ATAR, which tells you where you are ranked relative to other students. If you have an ATAR of 70.00, for example, it indicates that you have achieved as well as or better than 70% of the Year 12 school leaver age population.
Bonuses add 10% to the TEA.

-MARKS-2016-2017.pdf
Statistical moderation places the school marks in a course
on the same scale as the ATAR course examination marks
at the school for that course. Because the ATAR course
examination marks of students at all schools for the same
course are comparable, statistically moderated school
marks for the same course are comparable in all schools .
