I chose Standard english, because 1) i hate english 2) shakespeare is alright but i dont understand his texts at all 3) prefer to top standard english than fail english.

it is crap u were forced to do standard. one girl at my school didnt even do the sc, and was allowed to do extension1 english. lol

We are studying "the namesake" atm.

stupid school. had to pick up 4unit maths coz of the school

That's terrible. I stuffed up my SC English and ended up getting 89% - but I chose Advanced English and ending up ranking 1st in year 12.

Essentially the SC means nothing. I think what your school did was wrong.

i did terrible in the school certificate! my highest was for english which was 85... yet thankfully they allowed me to do 3 unit english. you're school sounds really strict. My school practically based what you could do for the hsc on your work ethic in class and all the jazz.

heaps of my friends dropped to standard thinking it would be less work. but it looks like a heavy work load either way.
