dude, they count a hell of a lot. but it's not so much your internal mark overall, it's more your rank. like... say in your school you come 5th internal but in the external exam you're 1st in your school, half of the mark goes to you, the other half goes to the person who came 1st internal, even...

depends on the guy, depends on the girl. stupid question.

best: to kill a mockingbird, year 10. one of my favorite books. worst: the dark is rising, year 7. needs no explanation.

comes down to what you prefer. I've never been interested in ancient, but I like modern. be careful though cos I think whether or not you like modern largely depends on what course your class or school chooses for you to do, cos there's so many, like for one section you choose one out of 25...

I go to a nerd school where even drunken kissing is seen as a huge deal so they're pretty neutral towards people that haven't done anything... but dude seriously as if it matters if you're 20, it's better to wait and make a good experience out of it rather than find yourself in a shitty...

if you're choosing your subjects based solely on scaling you're an idiot and probably won't get very far. do what you genuinely like and know you'll do good in; scaling is heaps overrated anyway. only thing to be a bit careful of is the amount of content in each syllabus; subjects like modern...

I thought they were decent overall but only a few were actually real standouts. Absolutely loved Bleak House (i'm doing extracts from the same play for my IP, woohoo) and the horrendous crime one (though the audience presumably from his school was pissing me off, I get the excitement factor but...

Comedy, but with enough depth to bullshit about how you're trying to make the character all multidimensional if anyone asks. ^_^

Just wanted an opinion on something :) I did shit in my first EX2 assessment - got 9/20, and its worth 20% of the overall. So as far as ranks go, I'm about 10th out of 11 at the moment. Do you reckon I should drop it (cos it does take up a lot of time) or keep it? All my other subjects are going...

I think my most productive free period was last thursday ... in which I stared at a blank Microsoft Word document, thinking about food for eighty minutes.

all through the morning before school - usually around 5am to 7:30 or 8am? but i leave weekends completely free; they recommend 15 hours per week. do too much and you'll just burn out. like people that do thirty or forty hours a week are just being ridiculous - make time for friends, jobs, sport...

our school has four eighty-minute periods, and i just dropped music 1 so I get six frees per fortnight. it's kind of funny though - beforehand, you can't wait for free periods and say that you're going to do so much work and catch up on everything and stuff ... they're actually really boring...

lol yeah, they just say 'bello', 'bella' or if they're making a specific note of someone being hot they call them 'la pizza'. i'm doing extnsion, its not overly exciting so far - but thank God no listening! :)

LOL ouch

if you're good at poetry and you want to do it, then of course do it. there's no disadvantage with what you choose; a girl a couple years older than me got 50/50 and she did poetry. it just has to be damn good. if anything it'll be a good change for the markers because I doubt many people would...

you definitely don't need ext maths to do well, its just a matter of how well you do in your subjects. I know a girl who got a UAI of 100 with general maths, and other "low-scaling" subjects like art, drama and society & culture.

I'm going with a theatre script as well - the limit is sooo much flakier than the other options. I think the only way we can do it is by guessing and then getting people to act it out for us :( what's your idea about?

This right now is probably the hardest bit, three weeks into year 12 and trying to think of a good idea to sustain. I'm going with a semi-absurdist script about perception and stuff, but damn this course seems so much more intimidating now that I actually have to work on it... :bomb:
