I didn't change it to anything because I had 14 units, so I just ended up dropping to 12U

A bit stressed. I thought the jump was going to be worse than it actually was. Workload's manageable, and I've finally dropped Modern History so I'm back to 12 units which makes my life a lot easier. I was studying maths with some friends and all of us do different levels of maths (one does...

Went through that too, I'm also pretty indecisive. I had to choose to drop something and ended up dropping modern because it was the least interesting. I sometimes second guess my choice but I remind myself that it's just my negative self talk trying to play into my self doubt etc. If you do end...

No worries, I went through the same thing, the pressure can be high especially when you have high achievers in your family. Also, another thing about scaling is that it's different every year because they have to recalculate it each year, so things that may have scaled well in the past might not...

Firstly, don't change a subject just because it is low scaling. Just because a subject is high scaling it doesn't mean that you'll do well in it. Do what you are interested in and you're more likely to do better. Secondly, high ATAR mostly depends on you scoring really high in the majority of...

Thank you for such a clear explanation, that was really helpful. I never knew that they had Standard texts. I agree, they really are shooting themselves in the foot here, but I think you're right that my school is eligible for solutions.

Wouldn't this not be possible in many cases because Maths in Focus doesn't offer Standard textbooks, therefore full solutions can't be offered to schools which have students taking Standard Maths? My school uses Maths in Focus for Advanced and Ext 1 & 2(as well as Nelson's other textbooks for...

At least there is that improvement.

That's ridiculous, I understand that they had to rush content for the new syllabus, but they could have at least checked it better. How are students supposed to use something which has the wrong answers? I'm so glad my school doesn't use that book, we use a mixture of Cambridge/Nelson textbooks...

Yeah, I have mostly morning lessons. I don't have any afternoon lessons (I do for ext 1 eng) but I have one during the school day when the rest of the cohort has a free.

It's good, today we're doing more, yesterday was more an intro.

Yes, she's incredibly dedicated, I love her to bits

100% agree, these teachers are awesome

Chapter 1. We have the same teacher and same class for both Ext 1 and Advanced so we just do all of it.

But yeah, had Ext 1 maths at 7:30am this morning o_O my teacher's pretty intense and serious from the get go, hence the homework, but she's really good.

Yeah, those two skillsets tie together well.

That sucks, I could tell you were looking forwards to SDD. Hopefully things get better from here.

Apparently my maths extension 1 teacher does. (Also had to finish off work from a class for the next less but idk if that counts).

How's everyone doing? I just finished my first day and I'm exhausted. I still have some homework I have to do. Wbu?

You're right, thank you for the encouragement!
