Well I screwed up in Preliminary Chemistry and Legal Studies but I'm still doing them for Year 12. Is anybody else here doing subjects which they screwed up in the Preliminary?

I failed prelim chem. Hard.
year 12 - I came second and now it's my favourite subject haha
prelim subjects are generally a little less interesting than their yer 12 counterpart. For bio and chem at least.

How you do in Prelim is no indication of how you do in Yr 12.

prelim:
physics=5th
2U maths=7th
adv. english=14

hsc:
physics=2nd
2U maths= 1st
adv. english=2nd

these were the subjects i improved on, the rest i also improved on but after a shocking performance in the trial i dropped ranks, half yearly ranks were heaps better.

anyway my point: yes you can improve drastically but just be brilliant..consistently :)

Re: So is naybody doing any subjects for the HSC which they screwed up in the Prelimi

why is it that people are dropping the subject they are good at and continuing with the subjects they are not so good at?
I presume that scaling is behind all of this.. hmmm..

Re: So is naybody doing any subjects for the HSC which they screwed up in the Prelimi

i did shitttt in prelim bio.
but i didnt drop it and im sooooooooo glad i didnt. loved year 12 bio so much :)

instead i dropped extension 1 english which i was coming 3rd in. and looking back pretty sure that was a good idea considering 1. the texts were crappy and 2. too much english would drive me mental even though i dont mind it at times.
i then dropped extension 1 maths during the HSC year. best decision i ever made. shouldnt have picked that crap in the first place. arghhhh the pressure of expectations. shall never give in to it again!
