I hear that you should do English Advanced but why?
Can someone answer this dilemma for me?

Firstly, the scaling is similar (this is the biggest misconception that students have).if you are capable of doing advanced, do advanced
advanced scales (significantly) better, so like getting very good marks in standard is not equivalent to getting very good marks or even good marks in advanced
that being said you can still do well with standard, but if you're capable of doing very well in standard you're probably be still capable of doing very well or at least well in advnaced, and in terms of your ATAR you'd be rewarded for choosing advanced
anyways regardless on whether you think you can do it or not, start out with advanced. if you start flunking or something, you cans till always drop down to standard
also, keep in mind there are people on this forum who only started learning english <5 years ago and are almost topping their school in advanced
advanced aint that hard lele
actually it scales worse im pretty sureFirstly, the scaling is similar (this is the biggest misconception that students have).
It is the aligning that it significantly different, Standard aligns(proportion of people in each band e.g 6,5,4,3 etc) a lot worse then Advanced.

LOL I hate to say it but yea 'dumb' would probably be the right description. Also note that people who do standard are generally lazier than their advance counterparts. The Standard course isn't that bad, its quite straight forward in fact - decent inference + decent analysis = boom good marks, none of that Advance crap where you can miraculously infer so much from one word...The percentage...
Isn't just English Standard people just "dumb"? or is it seriously that bad?
