I have a school assessment on probability next week and I keep getting conditional probability mixed up
Good that you are onto this now. Conditional probability is assessed consistently in Mathematics Methods at Level 4 and comes up in external assessments. Before we work through it, can you tell me what you think the difference is between P(A and B) and P(A given B)?
P(A and B) is both happening but I'm not sure about the other one
Good start. P(A given B) means the probability of A occurring when we already know B has happened. We restrict our sample space to only the outcomes where B is true. Here is how to set it up correctly:
📋 Step by step working
1
Conditional formula
P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)
2
Find P(A and B)
Count outcomes in both A and B
3
Find P(B)
Count outcomes where B occurs
4
Divide
P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)
Try this. In a group of 30 students, 12 play sport and 8 play sport and music. If a student plays sport, what is the probability they also play music?

Understanding TCE assessment
School assessment and external assessment across both years.

TASC courses combine school-based assessment throughout the year with external assessments set and marked by TASC. For pre-tertiary courses at Level 3 and Level 4, your child's ATAR is calculated from their best five subject scores. SubjectMate supports your child across every course and every assessment type.

School-based assessment
SBA
School assessment tasks
Set and marked by your child's school or college
School-based assessment tasks vary by course and may include essays, investigations, practical work, tests and folios. SubjectMate helps your child prepare for each one and consolidate their understanding throughout both years.
External assessment
EA
TASC external assessment
Set and marked by TASC. Written, oral or practical.
External assessments for Level 3 and Level 4 courses are set by TASC and may be written, oral or practical. SubjectMate prepares your child for the specific demands of TASC external assessments, including past paper practice and feedback on written responses.

ATAR in Tasmania: Your child's ATAR is calculated by TASC from their best five Level 3 or Level 4 course scores. Mathematics Methods at Level 4 attracts a scaling bonus. SubjectMate covers every pre-tertiary subject to help your child build the strongest possible result across their chosen courses.

How it works for TCE students
Built for how Tasmanian students actually need support.

TCE students manage school assessment tasks throughout both years alongside TASC external assessments. SubjectMate is there every night so your child always has somewhere to turn.

School assessment preparation whenever your child needs it.

TASC course assessment tasks run throughout Year 11 and Year 12. SubjectMate is available every evening so your child can work through practice tasks, get written feedback and consolidate understanding right up to the night before each assessment.

The tutor knows which concepts each course draws on and helps your child build the depth that earns the highest TASC grades.

I have a written assessment on The Great Gatsby next week and I don't know how to structure an essay response about the American Dream
Good that you are starting early. Before we structure your response, can you tell me what you think Fitzgerald is saying about the American Dream? Is he celebrating it, critiquing it, or something more complicated?
critiquing it I think, because Gatsby doesn't get what he wants in the end
That is your central argument. Fitzgerald uses Gatsby's pursuit to expose the American Dream as something that promises everything and delivers nothing. Your essay should open by stating this contention clearly, then build through three paragraphs where each one develops a different aspect of how the novel demonstrates this. What is one specific moment in the novel that shows the Dream failing?

External assessment preparation matched to TASC standards.

TASC external assessments for Level 3 and Level 4 courses are set by TASC and may be written, oral or practical. SubjectMate prepares your child for the specific demands of each format, with worked examples and written feedback aligned to TASC marking expectations.

Your child learns not just what to write, but how to write it in a way that earns marks at TASC Level 4 standard.

TASC external assessments Written and oral formats Past paper practice Level 4 standard
Physics · TAS · Level 4 · External assessment
The external question asks me to explain how electromagnetic induction works. How do I write an explanation that gets full marks?
For a full marks explanation at Level 4, you need to define the concept, state the law that governs it, describe the mechanism, and give a specific example. Before I walk you through the structure, can you tell me what you know about how a changing magnetic field produces a current?
if the field changes it pushes electrons in the wire somehow
Good instinct. The technical term is that a changing magnetic flux induces an electromotive force. Faraday's Law states that the magnitude of this EMF is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the conductor. A strong written response names the law, states the relationship, and connects it to a real example such as a generator or transformer. Shall we write the response together?

Available every night, including before every assessment.

Your child deserves support at the moment they need it, not when a tutor happens to be free. SubjectMate is available every evening with no booking required.

Open a session at any time, get feedback on a draft, work through past paper questions, and feel confident before any assessment.

Why families choose SubjectMate
The same quality support, built for Tasmania.

SubjectMate was built by an Australian high school teacher around the same principles that make great tutoring work everywhere. Guide rather than give, meet the student where they are, and be there when they need it. The same approach helping families across NSW, VIC and QLD is now aligned to TASC courses for Tasmanian students.
