    Can i write my essay and then choose my question?

    I think because it's such a large essay such as History Extension itself, you need a focus question or you're gonna end up writing fractured arguments, like yeah you can understand how things work and how to answer your basic investigation but if dont have direction or purpose, your essay isn't...

    Is my atar saveable

    Your ATAR isn't in that much trouble right now, as long as you maintain those marks/ranks for English Standard/Modern (especially Eng Std since the scaling isnt that good), as for Bio, try to at least aim for them 80s since you're pretty close, do more past papers and ensure you know enough...

    Importance of controlled inflation for the performance of the Australian economy

    Controlled inflation makes it so the Australian economy doesn't experience both deflation (under 2%) or inflation (above 3%), so you'd discuss the impacts of both de/inflation, but probably more so the inflation part (3%+). Chuck in your causes of inflation, then the impacts (eg decrease in...

    Highest vs. lowest scaling extension subject?

    Even if Music 2 scales higher than most subjects, it's a demanding subject (from what I've heard), you would generally only pick the subject if you have a passion for music, playing it, listening to music, remembering all the steps, notes and chords is a lot more difficult than it seems (which I...

    Is year 12 Hard ?

    I find Year 12 hard not necessarily because of all the homework and the assessments, but the surrounding stress, pressure and expectations that make it mentally taxing to continue throughout the year. Examinations are hard, especially if you've got a double and/or consecutive exams and it can be...

    Suggestions for Historical Investigation Project

    I mean ultimately go for the topic that interests you, if you find the Civil Rights Movement interesting and engaging, go right ahead and use it as the basis for your assessment. Study in depth as much for your chosen topic, I don't think there is a 'fast' topic, just depends on how fast you can...

    You must remember that your school assessments only account for 50% of your HSC mark, you've still got the HSC Chemistry exam to go!!! While you prioritising Chemistry over your other Prelim subjects is not exactly a good thing, it still will encourage you to perform your best for Chemistry. I...
