We were warned about how English advanced is a lot harder than English standard. That's the only thing I remember!

I would say difficulty for Advanced is 7/10 and Standard would be like 6.5/10. Only difference between both levels is the prescribed texts and thats all.

Same, my school also. But you can use other textbooks at home for questions to have an advantage over your peers?? I think that's a positive way to look at things

In my opinion, whilst advanced is very slightly harder than standard it is much harder to get a band 6 in standard opposed to advanced.

Mine is using maths in focus as well. What is wrong with it?

 

[piethepker]

Oh god, hes unaware.

Read some threads about it.

 

[wiliaamnguuyen]

@Ambility , Math in Focus is a bit unpopular along with the Mathematics textbook crew because it's a bit too simple and basic

Omg. I'm not great at maths, but we are sweeping through this.

Hey. Also in class of 2016, but i'm in Newcastle. Anyone else finished 2 units of preliminary as an accelerated subject?

 

[blackbird_14]

Thanks guys about the adv/stand english thing, because they make such a huge deal that advanced is that much harder. The texts in standard are easier (and more interesting) to read than advanced ones im pretty sure

 

[blackbird_14]

I feel your pain my school is too...

Yeah me too
