We receive our half-yearly reports, which include accumulated course marks so far and ranks, this week. Gah. Anyone want to share their report if they already have it? yeah. that is all

As a seasoned Year 12 student, I must stress the following point to you Year 10's, CHOOSE SUBJECTS THAT YOU ARE GOOD AT, NOT WHAT YOU THINK WILL SCALE WELL. Because if you achieve well in something, your mark and UAI will reflect that and scaling will not pull you down. Good luck!

good mark! I have read Curthoys & Docker's Is History Fiction? but unfortunately we did not get it as the source for Section 1. We got this Australian teacher ranting about the purposes of history. And the essay question was like "Evaluate the aims and purposes of history"... Used the source...

What?! That's insane!

hahaha. by the way, thread creator (I forget your username), I shall put in my two cents: Applied sciences and social sciences are equally relevant to the study of society/sociology. Applied sciences have created social change, through changes in economic modes of production etcetera, and are...

They are great marks & ranks. Your school is insanely small - 40 people in the year? Mine has 200. Is your school competitive? I think you're well on track to achieving 85-90. Especially with marks like those in Chemistry & Economics. And good decision in dropping maths haha, well justified :)...

So, how did everyone go in their history extension half-yearly? Results yet? Hard/easy question & source?

Well that's different, pretty sure nobody else would be doing that exact topic :) How does it fit into the syllabus?

haha

Using historiography is good, but you can achieve Band 6 without it. Many people at my school have. But i do agree that it adds a little sophistication and strength to a normal modern essay.

haha that would be strange. So it's just you & the teacher? Or do you study it distance-ed?

We started the course with 28. It was insane! We have since dropped to 19.

I agree with much of what you (livexxx) have said. I too am a perfectionistic English & History Ext student, who struggles with time because they know too much content. But we have to learn ways to use time effectively. Tips: 1: As much as we would like to churn out perfect essays in a...

Just what are you calling 'relaxing'? I don't do Textiles or CAFS or any of those subjects you mentioned but I think as much work would go into achieving an excellent mark in those, with major projects and all, as in the 'hardcore' subjects of 4u math etc. Just because someone doesn't do...

Yeah, that's true. It would take heaps of pressure off. Ours are due in late July I think. Along with my other major work in the same week. It's going to be a fun month.

Re: Half Yearly Results ONLY (No Spam) You all have received your results back already? Insanity! We won't get ours back until next term, i.e. a month after the exams have been completed! That's probably due to the size of our year (200) but I still wish I had them back so I won't stress...

People generally get more upset about results, but don't necessarily buckle down I guess. Parties are still happening and all. Studying will probably intensify as the year progresses.

That would be awful to have to suddenly pack up & go to another school in the middle of your HSC.

amazing subject. no sarcasm. it's wonderful. anyone else share this sociological bliss?

I'm at Trinity College Lismore. You? Our school isn't attending the one at UNE. Half yearlies at the moment, followed by retreat and a bunch of other activities. How are you finding ext?
