    how bad is Standard English?

    If you're looking for an >80 ATAR, doing Adv english is only beneficial. I'll admit I'm not that great in english compared to my cohort, but it's aligning is far better than standard. the workload of both is about the same anyway. if you're struggling, get some help like a tutor or resubmit...

    How do I catch up on things I haven't been taught?

    software is content heavy in some areas like IPT, except for the coding parts for the content/theory, I suggest just reading the textbook/skimming instead of writing notes + reading it, as taking notes is doable, but time consuming. if you're using the samuel davis textbook, lol it is HUGE...

    Modern History and Legal Studies Options

    afaik if a teacher from your school is being a HSC marker for that year, the senior marker will know the teacher's school code so that the papers the teacher will mark excludes the school they're from. so even if you switched options, I doubt it would be affected because your student number is...

    Need advice about english..

    I'd say remain in Advanced, yes standard is not worth it due to above reasons. Dropping down doesn't mean 'less work' or like it is an easier course because at the end of the day, you are still writing for 3 modules and belonging despite doing advanced or standard. Aim for a mid B in your...

    Advanced English not optional for Year 11 and 12

    echoing EddyBleh, for your own good and like if you want less restrictions on the subs you want to do I'd consider transferring to another school because if you stay there, you might feel unhappier and disadvantaged because they're not giving your cohort opportunities that people in other...

    Radians or degree mode???

    i used to it in degrees, but I now use radians. it eliminates any chances of error if you use degrees (you think you may have converted it correctly in your head but it is actually is wrong) also yes you use radians for the tidal SHM questions to calculate time

    last assessment + hasc exam help.....

    hey. it really depends on the weighting of the trials upon your school mark. You need to find this out to know how much can be changed into your favour. For me, Maths ext 1 is 40%, other subs are 35%, english 2 unit is 25% my school is different to yours so you need to find this out for hsc -...

    Found out from friends I did both given option topics for trial. What does this mean?

    Re: Found out from friends I did both given option topics for trial. What does this m no they do not allocate your mark to the higher scored option. it is the first numerically numbered option that you attempt that your mark is taken from. so if you did options 3 and 4, your option 3 would be...

    Re: Found out from friends I did both given option topics for trial. What does this m if you did both in the actual HSC exam, not trials they would mark the first option that was sequentially attempted and the others would not be counted in the mark however since this is trials it is up to...

    Is it too late to pick up a subject?

    tbh, I don't see why they would offer you ability to do that.. it's just a bit unfair on the other students. in my school if you dropped from 4u maths to 3u, your 2u maths assessments would be weighted more to compensate for your lack of previous assessment tasks
