I wish that was the case lel :/. In the 1/2 yearlies I didn't finish the essay or creative and talked about colour in the picture that was given. I think I wrote something along the lines of "it can be seen that through the use of warm colours that juxtaposes with the cool colours it shows a false sense of belonging hence he does not belong". Pretty sure I am on the same level as that star wars guy. I got 2/15 for that reading task

When the markers were reading my paper; they were probably saying "not sure if srs"

What was your rank?

 

[Feynman]

Do standard unless you want a >98.5 atar

 

[faisalabdul16]

Do standard unless you want a >98.5 atar

You can get an atar >98.5 by doing standard lol.

To get an atar greater than 98.5, you do realise you need to band 6 in almost all your subjects.
You can still get an atar in that range provided you score a high band 5 in english lol, regardless of it being advanced or standard.
And advanced & Standard scaling is essentially the same.

And those who tend to aim for high atar's like such, will put effort in all their subjects.

I'm leaning more towards the Standard english course as I doubt that I think I can continue doing advanced, looking at my scores. My teacher says I have potential to do better but am not clearly exercising my abilitied well enough. Can I please get opinions in regards to both courses thx.

I'm doing Advanced (I hate English but surprisingly it's my best subject) and my advice is to NOT drop to Standard. You may think you're not the best at Advanced but you're not terrible either, and Standard is pretty much the same. It's not 'easier'. There's not that much difference and it's really not worth it.

Go for 4unit if you're capable of the maths! ^^ I've heard a lot of topics in Physics go well with the 4unit stuff If you're still not sure just try it out and see how you go - if you hate it then you can just drop. ^^
