    what soap do you use?

    I use dove and goats milk soap I know it sounds weird, but since I currently have a rash and maybe this is a little bit too detailed, yes I have broken skin on the rash. using dove soap on that kind of skin irritates it badly and makes it insanely itchy and red and just ugh, that's where I use...

    Should we repeat year 12 if we dont accomplish our goals? Serious Question!

    no, if I were you, don't bother repeating. you could but really, as kwu1 said, look into alternative options as well. personally I would be bored repeating a subject if it wasn't necessary for success (e.g. if I didn't fail it)

    Module C: representation and text - History and Memory

    respresented = how audience perceives it. biased? inaccurate? skewed? or accurately yes techniques are a must for anything. you need to talk about representation or else the marking criteria will screw you up. i didn't know thinking it was history and memory and most i got was a 11/15 in last...

    Torn between bio, phys and mod?

    1. physics is interesting do not underestimate. year 12 course was definitely more interesting than year 11 imo. I assume bio is too, I wish I took it but too late. but yes, there are more concepts in physics that bio doesn't have on a only conceptual understanding i guess 2. all hsies are...

    What are the benefits of doing 4 unit maths?

    It's time consuming, heck if you do the school assessments, many of the people who do the 4 unit maths assessments don't finish the whole thing because not enough time. Now that could be a reason why they get 50-70%. And depending on yourself, you may or may not be able to grasp the concepts...

    Subject Selection - Science Or Business?

    Not to be mean, but that statement kind of doesn't make sense... From what I've seen with legal, like the rest of humanities it involves writing essays and learning about laws and cases, if you like learning about that thing then essay writing should not be a problem. Economics still has a lot...

    Got rejected from doing subjects?

    I personally did better in prelim extension english than advanced, and also if I were you I'd just do physics and chem in year 11 then drop down to senior science if you felt it was hard :) it's not good to deny yourself a chance then go 'maybe if..', just do it first

    Teachers in Texas given green light to carry guns in classrooms

    but you can prevent lives from being lost just due to a gun. Anyone could just wrestle a gun from a teacher, and there they got a free gun to use, a massive safety hazard for everyone there as is in unknown hands now

    Is this fair?

    I think you should have clarified with the english faculty for the wording of "extracts" when you first got the assignment, instead of now. But complain now before it's completely too late. same for art. I know you say she has a dad who backs her up but it's fair if you get the english faculty...

    Biased teacher.

    I do ancient (as per sig) but the question's mark value and most importantly, the answer/response itself is a joke if it were to get 10 marks maybe, let alone above 15/25. My ancient history teacher marked sections in both the HSC for modern and ancient history before so yeah, he would mark...

    Is my physics exam unfair?

    state rankers sell notes on science... is that not rote learning in the slightest

    Is my physics exam unfair?

    well kind of off topic here but my ancient history exam today looked like a photocopy of previous HSCs. I am not complaining but yes, even if it was past hscs for school assessments you know you had a chance to practice past papers. even if you didn't bother you wouldn't be severely...

    Dropping a sub

    it's not bludgy.. you have to read texts, do essays *on top* of English 2U's essays and reading. I dropped EE1 as it consumed a lot of time, around yearly prelims we had like had to do an English practice essay for 2U advanced, then do a utopia essay assignment for marks for EE1 and well as...

    2U to General ?

    to OP: since you're given the opportunity to do 2U, you should before the half yearlies take the time to really drill into the content and aim to get like 50%+, dropping to general isn't always a great idea but if you really feel you can't keep up with 2U then just drop it and divert your focus...

    2U to General ?

    we went to the UNSW info day and met this 3rd year engineering student, he said he only did 2U maths and it was still fine and of course he said he had to maintain his effort against people who did 3U and 4U already so to not cave in due to the maths content

    Standard or Advanced English?

    advanced, the workload is more or less the same as standard but as others have said it's harder to do as well in standard. Only the texts are different, but if you want the best atar as possible by all means do advanced, standard is not by any means a lot easier
