Pmsl. I found out it means like writing from two perspectives (like political and sociological), sounds fun :l

I have 4 assignments due in the same week - all due 3 weeks from now - and I haven't started on any yet.

Our teachers are like 'this is massive! make sure you get started on them - there's a lot of work involved'

I'm looking at the 1500 word limits and thinking, okay, I'll allocate a day or two to each assignment.

Am I being too lax?
nah should be sweet I normally leave everything to the last 2 days or so [emoji108] thank god I have no assignments these holidays [emoji4]

Probably lol. But I can't really say anything since I'm probably worse lmao.
You're one of my kind :)

I don't think they're hard at all though. I've chosen my topics and I know the information is available. It's just a matter of summarising and paraphrasing. I can reach that word limit in an hour if I have all of the info at hand.

I'll probably do them a week before they're due and get feedback though.

How much weighting do you all have left for your subjects?

In Ancient and Modern History we have already gone through 40%. English, Legal and Bio we've gone through 30%.

Yeah, we've gone through about 40% for most subjects.

Is it possible to get a high ATAR w/ these subjects?
Is it true that the subjects I chose tend not to scale all that well? The course I'd like to get into requires an ATAR of 91. I set a personal goal of achieving an ATAR of 90 as a minimum (I'm eligible for 4 bonus points at the uni I'll be applying to) so even if I did get 90, I could still get into that course.

English Standard
Society and Culture
Modern History
Legal Studies
Biology

When I selected my subjects I wasn't strategic, I just chose ones I had an interest in or done well in, without giving scaling a second thought.

I haven't found out my ranks yet and I haven't received anything marked back yet (assignments or tests), so I'm not after an estimate, I just want to know if it's possible?

If you get 100 raw mark on the day for everything you'll still get 99.95 most likely
