you need to get good marks in your half yearlys. If a test is required to get into the school, then study for it. Its a bit too late to do extra curricular activities. Always place your good subject reports in front of the bad ones. Submit two reports. Write a letter to the school (one page...

taking aside the fact at how much I absolutely loathe english, I still agree that it should be compulsory. English is about communication and it is essential for life. if it wasnt compulsory, then lazy english retards like me will be able to get out of it. goiing to uni without being able to...

yes maths should be compulsory. It is useful to life. and for some people in the junior years that just bludge and dont bother to understand any concepts in maths, it is unfair that they can get away with it like that. Mathematics is also about problem solving, and you need it even if you are...

you could cheat by moving houses

ranks are good. try improving in english. You could also try to improve a little in your marks. Since your schools is ranked 300 ish, id say the top uai was probably 97 or something???? correct me if i am wrong. and the uai distribution is probably very spread out, so id say you could get 80

I have. In English, when I spend heaps of time planning how to write the essay beforehand, I walk out of the hall feeling that I did great, but I end up doing really crap, and when I mean crap I mean under 50%. :mad: At some times, I dont study for the English topic and end up walking out...

year 7: Zlata's Diary year 8: Dracula and The Hobbit year 9: Piggy in the Middle, Frankenstein, Lord of the Flies year 10: animal farm, Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion

hey, I know Standard English scales the same as ADvanced as it has been mentioned many times and the English head teacher said so. But out of curiosity, I used sam and it gave a higher uai with standard than advanced. i'm only in year 10 and i was only doing this to check out the scaling but...

i go to a selective school. Most people (99) do standard english, and the majority do extension 1 maths (90).

well , can you still get a good mark doing standard english?

how lucky. You're allowed to do 13 units. too bad my stupid school only allows a maximum of 12. god. the schools is so fucking shit. they are so retarded!!! :pain:

dont go tafe. do your hsc

hey I just found that my school doesn't allow me to do more than 12 units. 12 units is the maximum. I'm in a great dilemma here. I plan on doing: Mathematics (2) Mathematics Extension 1 (1) English Advanced (2) Biology (2) Chemistry (2) Business Studies (2) Ancient History (2) total = 13...

yeh. it scales lower than economics. :( but i might still do it, coz its interesting

Re: What's the most difficult book you've ever read (or tried to)? (Lacan, Joyce, etc apparantely, most of our English faculty teachers reckons there stupid books like Oscar and Lucinda and other Moby Dick stuff are interesting. Its their favourite books.

Just want to know. How many people do you think apply for one selective school each year? and im talking yr 8-12. not year 6. how many make it? I reckon 95% of them get in coz most of the people I know got in. It seems so easy lol

thats true. heaps of people go tutoring and it seems as if learning harder stuff doesnt benefit them. So the big idea here is that it is the ability that counts. James Ruse learns harder stuff and they get good marks. Other people learn harder stuff and they get crap marks. If some people do...

they aint cheating. THey have the ability to do harder work, so let it be like that. These 'smart' kids need to be challenged, so there is nothing wrong with accelerating. I've read somewhere that when gifted kids are not challenged enough in school, their marks get down. Just dont complain...

my maths teacher said that maths is the only subject in Year 11 that does affect it. is that true?

It wouldnt affect your mark, but it serves as a good indicator to how you would do in the HSC. say if you get 80% in your trials, and the average in the trials was 70%, and your school average for this subject is 85%. then that means that you will most likely get about 90-95% in your HSC, based...
