    'after the bomb' elective for ext eng

    I think you mean 'The Outsider'? I read the book recently and loved it, but I thought it was just too early, it was published in 1942, and we are meant to study texts from 1945-1989 or something?

    13 units, did well in exams, what do you think?

    I don't know my school rank. I can't imagine it would be that good, being a fairly average rural high school. How do you find out school rankings?

    13 units, a bad idea?

    Sorry, obviously I take care to spellcheck for school things.. English extension two tends to 'care' a bit more about creativity than spelling anyway. Proper study timetable?? gosh no, I don't actually study that much, I just put a lot of effort into homework and finish most things at school.

    13 units, a bad idea?

    urgghhh I wish someone could make a logical decision for me. I'm doing dance classes twice a week to, which includes teaching community classes.. Plus for most years I have relied on natural abilty + cramming (good short term memory). I really can't rely on that as much any more, because it's...

    The Black Death - where should I go with it?

    I'm loving all the negativity and loss of faith so I chose The Black Death as my topic. Broadly, I though I thought I could discuss the how and why of beliefs and changing values.. -beginning of the industrial revolution? -Church's loss of traditional powers -Malthusian Crisis Theory...

    Which person? 1st.. etc

    My short story relies on the day to day 2nd person observations of a man, and rather twisted 1st person stream-of-consciousness from another man who turns out to be the first in a kind of sleep apnea. I am much better (well I think it just seems to sound more interesting) writing in 1st person...

    13 units, a bad idea?

    It'd probabely be either Maths or ext history that I would drop. However Im not really that bad at maths, 12th includes all the people doing maths extension.. I'm a little worried about Ancient being scaled low, and that my class is full of bludgers, plus I'm sure we are doing a watered down...

    Drop Ancient or Chemistry?

    I am unsure which would be better in the long run. I am 1st in Ancient, got 98% in the half yearlies and I find it incredulously easy. I dont know if I'm really THAT good though, because our class is so bad, and all bludgers that we dont do much work. I am about average in the class in...

    with scaling in mind, what to drop..

    ok, so can you specifically say what the average difference would be. ie a mark of 90% in each would mean.. I also thought it makes sence to do biology since I'm already doing well in it, and it counts for two units as opposed to history ext, which I dont know how I would go in.
