Stay in standard if you are getting 71%.

However, if you need advanced or need it for the UAI, move up and work your arse off.

We have been told you can only move from adv. to standard not the other way around?? Are you sure you can move up in that sense?

It depends on whether you want to be challenged or not, and how much work you're prepared to do. If you're gettin 71% in standard, you will have to work a lot harder in advanced to get similar marks. That said, the advanced course will be a lot more interesting for you and you won't stand the risk of getting bored (God forbid in your HSC year). If you would rather cruise, stay in standard.

Re: Advanced Or Standard Plz Help Guys

As Sam said, it depends really on the amount of work your willing to throw into English. If it's not your fortay and it's not something you enjoy, then it's probally not really worth going to Advanced - and having to spend rigorous amount of hours finishing the work.

Adv. English is only going to benefit you, if you can be achieving an 80 or higher. If you can't - you're best of staying in standard and achieving a '71'.

I am not quite sure though, if you can 'move up' - I only thought someone could move down from Adv. to standard. You might need to double check that one.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
