ace it then! =)Shit! I shouldn't of read this . Doesn't help when I have a standard eng exam in two weeks!! Arrggghhh fml !
It aligns poorly so you need alot higher marks to get a Band 6. Scaling and aligning are different. Scaling refers to how good your scaled mark is relative to HSC mark. Aligning is how Board of Studies gives X amount of Band 6s, X amount of Band 5s...etc.then why do only a few people get band 6's? O_O
Its too late to be second guessing yourself or worrying about this stuff now, just do the best you can.Shit! I shouldn't of read this . Doesn't help when I have a standard eng exam in two weeks!! Arrggghhh fml !
Someone needs to make a beware of standard thread.How many threads like this on BOS are needed? Someone sticky please.
The subject really has no positive to it and a lot of negatives. Teachers and year advisors never tell you about its aligning etc, mainly because they dont know.Caution...It's Standard.
+ 1 ...Teachers should make it compulsory for kids to do Advanced English if they are moderately good at English. To get 70 in Advanced is being in the bottom 7percent of the state doing Adv. English. However to get 70 in standard is beating 53percent of the state...As l previously said in my other post the stats speak for itself.The subject really has no positive to it and a lot of negatives. Teachers and year advisors never tell you about its aligning etc, mainly because they dont know.
That is correct...basically what l am saying is...to get 70 in Advanced English you need to BEAT 7 PERCENT OF THE STATE doing adv english...compared to 70 in Standard english..you need to beat 53 percent of the state doing standard english. Look at this link to help you http://www.uac.edu.au/documents/atar/2010_HSC_Table%20A2.pdfohh okay thanks!
umm you just said that getting 70 in standard will beat more people than getting a 70 in advanced ? O_O
quite stupid actuallyPeople that say doing Standard will get you a better result is absolutely stupid out of all honesty. It is highly unlikely you will do any better in Standard then you do in Advanced since only ~0.1% receive Band 6 and 3-4% receive Band 5. The rest will receive Band 4 and below which is rather poor especially considering the scaling is also poorer. For comparison's sake, in Advanced, ~15% receive Band 6 and ~45% receive Band 5. Doing Advanced, you have a much better chance or receiving Band 5 or 6 which also scaling better than a Band 5 or 6 in Standard. Bottom Line: Never take Standard English under any circumstances, if your school is forcing you to drop then bring it up to the Head Teacher, Principle and Board of Studies if the first to fail.
It was so annoying, my school really put students off by saying Advance is extremely hard and only those whom can do Ext 1 or 2 should do itsimilar to mine, anyone below 67% should do standard, she puts you down and destroys your self esteem if you don't
It's holidays, get used to it.quite stupid actually
That doesn't even make a proper sentence.Quite stupid actually.
HAVE! It's HAVE you nitwit.Shit! I shouldn't of read this . Doesn't help when I have a standard eng exam in two weeks!! Arrggghhh fml !
He was missing a comma. "Quite stupid, actually."That doesn't even make a proper sentence.
WTH is it the same?!Dropping to standard is a joke. You do virtually the same paper, your marked to the same standard as an advanced student but your taught like a 5 year old. Don't do it. Its way better to get average in advanced.
