thank you for the explanation! this definitely clears a lot of my doubts regarding scaling. for design and technology, I've been consistently receiving 100% for my internal assessment tasks (for year 11 and term 1 of year 12) so design and tech scaling isn't a great concern of mine... however, I...

yep I definitely agree with this! I just meant to share ways to get better at japanese for continuers outside of just studying and memorising vocabulary (which is really important for beginners).

contrary to what other people have said about memorisation, I got a lot better at japanese through immersion. here are some of the things I did to get better at japanese: listening / speaking - watching shows in japanese with an app called lingopie (they have subs in jp that you can click on to...

@funnytomato thank you for your input! my subjects for the hsc include maths advanced (3u), english advanced, chemistry, biology, and design and technology. I'm in the top 10 for 4/5 of these subjects, except maths as there are around 150 students doing maths advanced in my cohort and it is very...

yeah, I've heard ext 1 has a really high scaling, as my accelerated friends were able to get an E3 despite receiving 50% in their external hsc... however, I believe I'd need to do really well for it to count, and it just seems like a lot of effort to try and get near perfect scores since I kinda...

I appreciate your advice! like you said, I also do enjoy extension 1 content and this could motivate me to do better, however, we've been looking at further vectors lately, which was the topic I struggled with the most in term 1 of year 12, so I fear I might also flop at2... I was also...

I have a question... so I'm currently in year 12 and doing 11 units including 3u maths. I'm contemplating dropping ext 1 maths as I believe that 1 extra unit wouldn't really benefit my atar... my performance in this subject is quite average, and I'm lacking the motivation to study for it...

hi all, I need some more responses for my yr12 design and technology MDP survey. essentially, I am designing a sustainable pharmaceutical packaging brand called 'medisync' alongside an innovative medication tracker app for patients who require various prescribed and non-prescribed medicine. I...

here are some of the ones I've found, there are probably better ones on acehsc though!

I'm also studying 1984 and my best advice for the common mod is to understand and use words from the rubric to strengthen your thesis! I'm pretty sure acehsc has an analysis table for each of the themes and main characters, but if I were you I'd be planning an adaptable thesis and essay plan and...

hey I'm ranked 2nd in bio so here are some of my tips: - active recall is very important !! use flashcards to remember terminology (I recommend using quizlet or gizmo.ai) - drawing diagrams and labelling helps a lot - keep a glossary of terms (write the definitions of new terms each lesson) -...

I'm currently doing English Advanced in Year 11 and I just sat my prelim exam a few days ago and I know for sure that I didn't do as well as I could've. My ranks and marks so far this year have just been about average, but I'm stressed that my prelim results will make my rank worse lol I used...
