Did it take a lot of practise to get the 91 in Advanced?nit said:Rench: I got 91 for adv eng, 47 for exteng

Hehe...true.nit said:Well I did do a fair bit of work, but somehow the amount of work was always incongruous with results for english advanced. I'm just glad that I don't have to encounter the randomness associated with the advanced english course and the markers any longer.

That's the beauty of maths and science - you're either right or wrong (in most situations).

I like maths/science because there's not much room for dispute. In English, one marker could give you 10/20, while another could give you 16/20 for the same response - that doesn't usually happen in maths/science subjects.
On the downside, you can't fudge as much in maths and science. At least in Economics/Business/History etc. you can make stuff up if you're desperate

Its what makes me so biologically proficient.
Hmmm...Slide Rule said:I fudged English in year 11 - it didn't work. so now I'm actually putting effort in (like doing assignments 2 days before due instead of 1) - that does work.
I always start an assignment the day I get it, even if it's not much (e.g. one sentence), but it gives me a sort of "peace of mind" that I've at least started it...strange, but it feels better to have done a heading than nothing at all.Slide Rule said:I fudged English in year 11 - it didn't work. so now I'm actually putting effort in (like doing assignments 2 days before due instead of 1) - that does work.
