wtf why does your school expect you to know most of the periodic table? we're not even expected to know the lower number elements, and our teacher admits that he wouldn't be able to recite all the elements

LOL I sincerely doubt it. It's just one of the many quirks for which we all love Elise for. :)

Maths Extension for me. Probably English Extension as well, but how well you do in something tends to hinge off how much you like it.

I personally thought ext English was overated in terms of difficulty.
Chemistry was probably the subject i found hardest, I only got like 75% at the end of the year.
And I still think Advanced English is harder then most other subjects... including ext. At least with ext it was more direct and less vague.

I worked so hard on chem in year 11 that it seemed easy. Really depends on your willingness to engage in a subject, cause if you hate the subject and cant find any motivation to learn as much as you can, then its bloody hard.

2U english :(

3U is good because I can leech off my teacher's notes and what she says in class. But in 2U we're supposed to have our own ideas. No freaking idea about how to find them =X

I've always been spoonfed xD

For me, Chemistry is hardest, followed by English Advanced, then Extension.

Seeing as the difference between raw and moderated marks in Ext 1 and 2 maths is way bigger than all the other subjects (and from own personal, torturous experience with ext 1) I would those two. hands down.


But then again I don't do physics, I'm sure that must also be a killer.

Same. Except instead of extension english, extension maths.

LOL, you serious? I aced my last assessment task, it was so easy.

I find Maths Ext. 1 hard, some of it just gets repetitive.

In terms of academic integrity = Both Mathematics and English Extensions.

In terms of workload (which makes you dislike the subject) = English (all units), Mathematics (all units, only because I haven't been doing classwork), and Society & Culture assessments tend to be big.
