Hey Guys!!

Just wondering. I am currently doing the Preliminary English Advanced course and was contemplating dropping it. Is it worth it? I'm doing ok, my lowest mark is 9/15 out of 4 assessment tasks. What would be better sitting my HSC??

Thankyou!
I'd say - do what you're comfortable with. Yes, standard doesn't scale as well as advanced but if you think that you'd do better in standard: you should drop it. If you enjoy advanced and like the texts for next year - then you should keep it. Also, you should take into account all your subjects - are you doing/will you do extension subjects? Do you need more time to focus on other subjects? If yes, standard is the best option.

Hey :) Great concidering it's a four day weekend for me (had no school Friday) and have gotten lots of work done so far (after weeks of slacking off).

Yours?
That's good to know.
Just when I thought I was done with assessments, I was given 5 assessment tasks this week which also includes a maths exam on functions.. >.<
So basically, my long weekend has been spent going though those assessments and doing a bit of researching on them.
Can't wait till the hols but at the same time don't want to start term 3 :(

Its for society and culture! (Not sure if you have even heard of the subject lol)
Its a Personal Interest Project (PIP) where you choose a topic you are interested in (relating to adolescents) and you research on the topic with primary and secondary research!

Has anyone done a prac experiment in physics to find the refractive index of a medium? If so any tips on maximizing marks would be helpful :)
