Google Textbook exchange... highly recommend it, got most of my first year textbooks there for heaps cheap and also getting some 2nd year ones as well.. You're welcome :)
Advance would have been harder for me, maybe not for you... cut with the crap that they are so much similar in difficulty... for someone who struggles with English, Standard is the way to go... in terms of ATAR, you are better off choosing Advanced if that's all you care about... ATAR isn't...
Fair point, but wouldn't you agree that it takes a lot less time and effort to write a good essay on a less complicated text... okay maybe they are closer than I thought.. doing Advanced is generally a better idea but you're not totally doomed by doing Standard can we at-least all agree on...
Come on guys! Standard is not the same (or nearly) difficulty than Advanced! An Advanced student would smash Standard! A lot of people who do standard don't even try that's why they do so bad overall

Yeah but the texts we used for those modules are in my opinion are a lot easier... I mean Educating Rita vs...
Or for people who don't like HSC english and would rather spend more time studying subjects they enjoy :).
That's like saying spoons are only for eating soup! That's just silly because spoons are only for sticking on your forehead. My SPOOOON is too biggg!
IMO I believe English Standard is a lot easier than Advanced, especially for someone who isn't passionate about English, or isn't particular good at it (seems kinda obvious). I managed to get a band 5 in Standard ; which would have been unlikely If I had done Advance. But by hypothetically...
I took a gap year and absolutlely loved it --> as long as you have something to keep you busy there are no disadvantages I can think of, unless of-course you risk losing a scholarship. When you apply again for uni after taking a gap year they use your same ATAR and as long satisfies the cut-off...
survivor is awesome that's why ... as long as jeff probst continues to host the show i don't see why they would stop... and i don't watch it on tv because we are behind so watch on the net
