    Need Help with Subject Selection

    I'd suggest you choose the subjects that you feel most confident in and enjoy the most. From what I have heard, scaling will NOT affect you if you do well in a subject, nor will it scale u up to like, say, a band 6, if u do poorly in it. It seems unrealistic that your mark will get scaled up...

    Acceleration in your school?

    One of my friends are accelerating in both Physic and Maths Ext 1 right now, but he is not doing that well in maths. Do you think accelerating in two subjects is a good idea (and almost failing one), or just a waste of time?

I actually wanted to do chemistry instead, as many have told me its "easier" to make sense of it, but i wasn't recommended as the teacher told...

    Acceleration in your school?

    Hello all! In my school we have a program called Acceleration, which as the name suggests, you accelerate your course. i.e. you learn ahead of your peers in a particular subject and do the school cert when you're in yr 9; hsc preliminary course in yr 10; and hsc in yr11. I wanted to ask...

    Work experience

    I'm doin my work experience at Gate Gourmet (an airline catering company) during mid-August. Actually wanted to go work at some airline like Qantas or Cathay Pacific instead, but they said only "relatives or friends" allowed. :( Still looking forward to it though, should be quite interesting...
