    what subject should i drop!?

    As others have said just wait until half yearlies and make a decision. Personally for me (not necessarily advice for you) I would find french harder than english because it involves maintaining grammar, vocab especially for the 200 words or so extended response so you would need to practice...

    Getting "kicked" out on the FIRST day of Math EXT?

    year 11 is a fresh start, despite how bad you were in year 10 they wouldn't go 'by your year 10 results we have to make you drop it' - they would only do that if you were probs getting <50% in 3-5 tests throughout the year. besides the first topics they cover are just year 10 topics plus some...

    I NEED HELP WITH MY LATE ROUND OFFER PREFERENCES: plz plz plz :)

    no you need to change your preferences before the due date for the late round so that means since you want to get into your 3rd choice, B Liberal arts and science you will need to put it as your first preference and remove the others. if you don't change your prefs at all you won't be...

    Going overseas at the start of year 12?????

    just go, actually the start of year 12 is pretty chill and wasn't that fast paced so you can still catch up and stuff

    Cheapest option for train/bus travel

    +1 they don't have to be transit officers or police, even the bus driver will ask you (always happens on the private buses here like do I look like I'm 25 or something). bus drivers can make you pay the full fare if they're mean I guess. you think they won't ask you for ID or a concession...

    The Scaling of Extension 2 Maths in recent years

    even if it was the increased availability of tutors it's not a fault in the system, just means people are doing better for the course. I've noticed that people are bagging people who are 'less talented' doing MX2 to be the problem of bringing the scaling down, but I heard this from my teacher...

    The Scaling of Extension 2 Maths in recent years

    yep SBHS & JRAHS are ranked for MX2, not everyone can do it (top 100 I think). there are probs more. SGHS said that while you are free to do MX2, they would give you a talking to drop if you were doing sub par. I think we started with 100 people or so but dropped to 75-85 or so dunno. But...

    zPass & Timetable clashes

    your z account is just your student number with a z in front of it. e.g. my student number is 3424XXX so my z account is z3424XXX (both don't have X's in it but just doing it to cover my real student number) but yeah go ask student services or uni and see what they can do about the timetable. I...

    What books will be studied for English Adv. and Extension 1 in year 11?

    you need to ask because in each module there's basically like 5 prescribeds to choose from by the school, you don't want to waste your time doing something your school isn't doing. btw there are 4 topics for HSC english, ie 4 texts to study (with at least 2 relateds of your own choosing) so you...

    Senior Subjects and BMBS

    you should just try 2U in year 11, if you don't like drop to general in HSC. But as others have said - gen maths is very hard to get a 99+ ATAR in. maybe in year 12 you could try picking up History extension as it scales well, at my school you just do an assignment, 1 trial and 1 HSC exam for it...

    Common Ratio....

    I don't think there's a common ratio (e.g. arithmetic progression, geometric progression), so you can only find the terms out using that formula

    Chem Equation

    no, but once again you shouldn't be doing it because it's a popular subject in your school (it is in mine), for the teacher/parents or that your friends are doing it or that it is 'high scaling' or the most high scaling science which will bump up your ATAR 'very high'. It all comes down to your...

    Chem Equation

    dunno what school you go to but they if they did give you the exam before you sat it it's an invalid assessment and defeats the point of a test which should be unseen. A prac is more of doing an experiment and using some of your knowledge learnt to explain the intention of the experiment/what it...

    Can I get in the late nineties with these subjects?

    :) yeah also to OP - you need to also do your own homework/research between links to get points and quotes that aren't cliche - if you provide enough backing you will get a unique and good essay (as well with the points that need to be mentioned) and hopefully you will get more marks than the...
