    Is it possible to achieve 99+ ATAR from taking both histories?

    Extension

    There are already 5 (I think) sciences available. English extension 2 is completely different from history extension, and both subjects teach things which no other subject can provide. I don't see the merits in a science extension which will just be a conglomorate of the techniques you learn...

    Section II - Short Answer

    I put that inflation can lead to higher rates of growth in the short term, because it discourages savings as they have less real earnings and greater volatility. Hence with less savings comes a greater MPC and the potential for higher spending and higher short term growth. Then went into how...

    Economics game

    It's called the J-Curve effect. A depreciation would lead to a short term deterioration of our trade balance as exporters get less revenue, import spending rises for given quantity ect (valuation effect); but then it would result in a long term improvement in the trade balance as exports become...

    He shouldn't have gotten a mark for an answer which isn't correct all the time. I'm pretty sure Sudan qualifies as a 'developing' economy.

    Army is mad ... Talk about how they undermined the republic e.g. von seekt thought he was a mad cunt and said things like "The army, Mr President, stands behind me" and "Reichswehr does not fire upon Reischwehr" in response to Kapp Putsch. Talk about how the army put down left wing revolts but...

    Lol, when Gittens visited us he was actually really bad. Great writer, not so good with the talking thing. I think our trial and assessment questions are pretty likely to come up Germany - Role of army in collapse of weimar republic; racial policy; hitler's role in NP Indochina - anti-war...

    Not ALL developing economies have lots of growth. Basic premise of eco multiple choice is that if you can doubt the answer to any extent whatsoever, that answer is incorrect. And wow, there's a lot of really high marks for eco. I'm pretty sure 97 would be a state rank (judging on our school's...

    Would your ATAR be far more important than your SAT? On one hand its a much more accurate percentile and far better judge of ability and application than SAT or subjects. But on the other hand, the SATs can be standardised across regions ...

    Belonging - 2 supp texts okay!

    Some people in our school did 2. They're smart enough that they covered all bases and wrote enough on both supplementaries. You can still get 15 with 2, it just becomes harder.
