"Edrolo was a game-changer for me. It helped me stay focused, filled in the gaps, and gave me the confidence I needed to succeed."
Snapshot
‍
Alex, one of the top three 2024 Edrolo users in New South Wales, used Edrolo as a key resource throughout his HSC studies. With a focus on STEM subjects, Alex faced challenges including inconsistent teaching staff and the need to fill knowledge gaps outside of school. Edrolo became Alex's trusted system to consolidate learning, revise effectively, and gain confidence in understanding challenging concepts.

What Alex achieved with Edrolo
‍
- Improved Understanding: By using Edrolo consistently, Alex was able to bridge gaps in knowledge and overcome challenges posed by changing teachers at his school.
- Effective Study Habits: Combining school lessons with Edrolo videos and questions allowed Alex to take a systematic approach to revision.
- STEM Success: Edrolo played a key role in helping Alex excel in science-focused subjects, critical for their university aspirations in diagnostic radiography and ultrasound.
‍
“I’d recommend Edrolo to anyone doing the HSC. It’s so helpful for reinforcing what you learn in class, and it’s like having a second teacher to explain things clearly.”
The challenges for Alex
‍
- Teacher Turnover: Over the course of Year 12, Alex’s school experienced frequent changes in teaching staff, creating gaps in content delivery and consistency.
- Filling Knowledge Gaps: While Alex had a strong group of hardworking peers, he sometimes struggled to fully grasp topics in class, requiring additional resources outside of school hours.
- Reliable Study Materials: Finding high-quality, syllabus-aligned resources online for subjects like Chemistry and Biology was a challenge.
‍
“Sometimes in class, I wouldn’t fully understand a concept, so I’d spend extra time online trying to find reliable explanations. Having multiple new teachers throughout the year made it more difficult to stay consistent with my learning. This is where Edrolo really helped!”
How Edrolo helped Alex
‍
Edrolo became Alex’s go-to system for effective study and revision.
- Comprehensive video content:
Edrolo’s video lessons for every part of the syllabus provided clear and structured explanations, acting as a “second teacher” for Alex.
“Edrolo was so helpful, especially for my science subjects like Chemistry and Biology. It covered every part of the syllabus, so I could always check back and make sure I really understood everything.”
- Interactive questions:
Alex used the lesson-specific practice questions to test his knowledge and solidify his understanding.
“The questions at the end of the videos were super helpful for checking my knowledge and making sure I got the concepts right.”
- Independent learning support:
After attending school lessons, Alex would revisit the same topics on Edrolo to reinforce his understanding and address any confusion.
“After school, I’d go home and rewatch Edrolo lessons for the topics we covered in class. It was like having a tutor at home—it really helped me clean up any questions I still had.”
- Reliable and accessible resource:
Edrolo stood out as a trustworthy and syllabus-aligned tool, helping Alex stay on track and confident throughout their HSC.

Alex’s advice for Year 12 studentsÂ
‍
- Use Edrolo to complement your school lessons: “Rewatch videos after class to really reinforce what you’ve learned.”
- Test your knowledge with practice questions: “Even if it feels like a lot of work, it’s worth it!”
- Stay consistent and motivated: “Work with a group of friends who encourage you to keep going—it makes a big difference.”
What’s Next?
