Yep, our class chose Cambridge too. We were using Pearson (Hamper, Derwent, Boesenberg, & more) with the old syllabus, but decided against getting the new version of that, in favour of Cambridge. We're still using out old Pearson ones, but the new Cambridge ones should arrive soon. The new...

Well, I'm sorry to say but English is important, and it will continue to be through year 11 and 12, and it is critical that you do fairly well if you want good marks and ATAR and such. I feel you're pain, I too have trouble with English. (I'm in Year 11). First thing I'm going to say is that I...

OK so I finally realised that the Ext English mark had not been converted from out of 50, into a percentage. (Yes, I know that is simple and obvious, I actually though of that, but I thought I had failed so bad it made sense, plus I assumed teachers could actually use percentages correctly)...

Well... It's hell on earth! :) I suck at it, and it's destroying my soul. I have been continually very surprised with my marks. My results: Half Yearly......................62% Ass. 1 (Listening)...........85% Ass. 2 (Essay)................80% Ass. 3 (Speech)..............80% Off the top of...

OK so I have 14 Units currently. I'm planning on dropping Ext English (Unless some miracle happens) because it's destroying my soul (Pity I can't drop advanced) and I'm not doing very well. I don't think I'll pick up Ext 2 Maths, I think it would be too much of a workload, but I guess I'll wait...

OK what's so confusing, I don't get it. It makes sense to me. ??? Oh Oh! Is it because 38% sucks? Because yeah, that test was damn hard. (And even according to the teachers was impossible to even finish in the time limit.) If that's not it then I'm lost.

Our class had to buy new ones for the new course (duh) and we were deciding between the updated version of our old ones, the Pearson one, and the Cambridge one. We ultimately decided to order a class set of Cambridge, because the Pearson one was basically the same as the old one. We were looking...

Got my report today, I'm pretty happy. Many of my actual marks kinds suck... which is sad, but I'm happy with the good ones and my ranks. We got 'Exam Mark', 'Exam Rank', 'Assessment Rank' (Includes Exam results) and 'Assessment Mark' (which for some reason was marked 'N/A' on every one... ...

I said it was average but hard to get high marks. I find it very hard. I am not an English person. I can express myself and use the English language fine... but that doesn't seem to be the aim of the course... to me it's just a massive wank. I got my half-yearly exam marks back: 62% and a...

This might be a bit late but... In response to your questions: 1. If i do 3u maths. do i have 2 seperate classes as in i do i still do 2u. ( same for adv. Englis do i still do sta. english) Yes. You will have an Advanced class, and an Extension class. You will have 4 Adv and 2 Ext classes per...

Watched The Time of Angels, liking it so far. I like River Song, although i hoped they would leave it longer until they brought her back into it. I'm fine with their relationship although i really, really hope they don't do much of it in episodes. Did that make sense? You know what i mean, i...

I'm about to start looking for a job, well after my half-yearlies most likely. It will be my first job and basically i just don't want to be in fast food. I'm pretty OK with everything else. Problem is the things i wnat to do probably wont hire a 16 year old and close at normal office hours...

I am definitely not looking forward to Belonging, Conflict (our Yr11 AOS) is bad enough. Actually i think pretty much anything will be better than Conflict. Belonging seems to generic and all that, i guess at least it might not be too hard to subvert and such. Anyway yeah, just my random 2 cents.

That's basically my approach. Me and my twin did that with our School Certificate, and we're doing it again for our half-yearlies. Just write up notes and condense information and then look at each others and ask questions and such. Yup, that leaving it the last minute part is us too. Sometime...

Well every night I do... bugger all to none. I pretty much only do school work when I have an assignment due the next day (I know I'm working on my severe procrastination). I have half-yearlies at the end of this week/next week and I'm studying now, writing notes and condensing and such, plan...
