ESL / Advanced ? (1 Viewer)

[MinaDoan]

the ONLY thing that ESL is different from advanced is that when the HSC marker mark you essay, they KNOW eng is your second language. The content is the SAME!
And I know some one who do ESL with an ATAR above 90!!!!! God bless her and I am aiming to that!

P.S You should choose Advanced because the greatest mathemati... ----me find out there are more advantages ^^,

your school still allows you to change subjects?! wow, isn't it a bit too into the year to allow change?

Anyway! I think it'll be better to continue advanced if you want to achieve an ATAR of 97, but once again, "it 'all' depends on how well you're going with your other subjects" as well.

A lot of universities say that ESL is not considered to be suitable preparation for their programs. Better check this before deciding whether or not to change.

As far as I know, universites don't have prerequisites anymore. But anyway, if you going to do arts, it would be better for you to do advanced wouldn't it?

It means you should do at least Standard in order to know how to approach various texts and documents for study as well as how to write essays, papers, do tests etc. Of course not all courses need this but as you're at uni there will be a lot of writing- ESL might not be appropriate. Not sure for commerce/arts

Very few unis have prereqs. I have a friend who did standard and does just fine. Unsure about ESL.

Just put a lot of effort into it. I think someone capable of 4U math is definetly capable of standard or advanced

Yeah well, prob better to do std/adv for uni prep but ESL is definitely much easier to score high marks in (for ATAR contribution), unless one can ace std/adv anyway.
