What happens if I decide not to show up for my English paper 1 exam but I do to paper 2 exam?
You mean 60/100, right?I am presuming you will get a a mark out of 105 but you are limited to 60/105. Even if you are sick you can NEVER redo the exams, they just give you average depending on your rank and whether you have a valid reason for being absent.
English is out of 105: 45 for AOS (15 for each section) and 60 for Modules, irrespective of whether or not it is Standard or Advanced. The Markers/Bored of Studies/etc. then scale this mark back down to 100 and do all the other scaling against the state, assessment mark, etc.You mean 60/100, right?
No... The mark is out of 100... 40% coming from paper 1 and 60% from paper 2.English is out of 105: 45 for AOS (15 for each section) and 60 for Modules, irrespective of whether or not it is Standard or Advanced.

Hopefully that makes sense!
If I were you (and I'm not, so it's totally your decision - don't even listen to me!) BUT if it was me in that situation, I would still do Paper 1 and get a few things down onto the paper therefore getting at least a few marks. Trying to get 60/60 for Paper 2 is no mean feat, and you said that you would expect 57% - why not try and at least get 20/45 for AOS and maximise your marks even more? But anyway, that's just my two cents worth, and I wish you the very best for whatever you choose to do!
Sorry for any unsolicited adivce!
God Bless!
But would you? Because you could still do the other paper.You'd get classified as a non-attempt and get into loads of shit? I dunno... I have friends planning to skip the religion exam though
no they'll base it on 2 factors (as long as you have a legit certificate etc.)But would you? Because you could still do the other paper.
Yeah, some people at my school might try skipping religion.

Compulsory in some schoolsroflcopter...
why didn't they just drop it
REALLY?!no they'll base it on 2 factors (as long as you have a legit certificate etc.)
1) your school mark/rank etc.
2) how well you did in mods
classic story this guy at knox a couple of years ago was a standard kid, near the top of his cohort. he freaked out about paper 1, did not sit it. he did modules, aced it. still ended up getting a band 6 (which, as you know, is amazing in standard)
why didn't they just drop it
This. They would've had to have done Catholic Studies (Non-ATAR) which is horrible... :/Compulsory in some schools
1. Paper 1 is marked by advanced people, meaning my essay will get MAXIMUM 10/15.Why on earth would you not turn up?
If you want to improve your English marks sitting the paper actually does help....
Paper one is fairly straight forward. Comprehension, Some Imaginative Writing, One Essay
It certainly won't hurt.
