Hey guys. might be a silly question but do you need to inform unis that you don’t plan on accepting their offers? I’m still getting regular emails from my early entries to enrol and stuff even though I don’t plan on going there

What are your other subjects? If it's something like Phys and Chem it might get overwhelming. The thing with Ext 2 English is, you do end up spending a whole heap of time on your MW. It's a 1-unit subject with essentially a 2-unit workload. Constant drafting, redrafting, chatting with teachers...

^as above. For UNSW I got to apply through Gateway and can apparently receive a $10k scholarship for my first year. They also offer more options for the second major of the double degree, including one that I am interested in (Bachelor of PPE). On the flip side, I've heard that USyd law is...

unrelated but out of curiosity, did your teacher use the french teachers nsw paper for your continuers trials?

outta curiosity, when do they release the list of people that got state ranks in each course? I know the first in course is announced like a day before we get results. Would the list of the other state ranks be released then too? on that note, will I see any of you fine folks on there when it...

Didn't do Japanese but I think the same sort of advice applies to all modern language courses. Just immerse yourself in the sound of the language as much as you can. You don't have to always be doing listening papers to improve this skill. You could be listening to Japanese podcasts on your way...

this man is unreal 100% 3U????

Not a royal buff, but a general rule of thumb is to never do anything that's been covered extensively in academic literature, or stuff that's so ingrained in public conversation that it becomes cliche (ie. in your case, anything to do with Princess Diana, or for that matter most of the living...

STATE RANK VA HABIBI

I finish on 25th with History Extension but as punishment I have a french-modern history double on the 3rd day of HSC (6 hours of exams in total) :hammer:

1. Read your prescribed texts ahead of time: English texts will take time to understand deeply, so give yourself that opportunity by reading them ahead of time. The holidays after Year 11 to read Common Mod, the summer holidays to (ideally) read Mod A and B. Even if you're just passively...

just smash everything else and the damage will be minimal :D i know a guy that got band 6s for 4u maths, phys, chem but a band 5 for eng but still got 99.5 atar speaking as a humanities student, it's a crap policy of making English alone compulsory in calculating atar.

thank youu- given your record you're definitely bound for a killer ATAR :wavey:

@idkkdi is spot on actually- bachelor of law/ arts majoring in psychology most likely

I go to a top 25 NSW school: Course | Rank | Band 6s in 2022 | Band 6s in 2021 English Advanced | 2/155 | 32 | 46 English Ext 1 | 1/34 | 10 | 21 English Ext 2 | 1/16 | 4 | 8 Maths Advanced | 19/110 | 46 | 56 Maths Ext 1 | 43/68 | 52 | 53. note: historically Maths Ext 1 has had 90-100 students...

What my History Extension teacher always tells me: the key to a good HSX essay is your own voice. HSX is highly philosophical, theoretical, and subjective. Therefore, being able to give your own opinion on the historians, historiographical issues and areas of debate is key, and differentiates...

What do y'all reckon?

I'm curious about what kind of standard you need to state rank in Language subjects like French (Continuers). After all, your final mark/ internals moderation is so dependent on your external HSC.

I'm curious about how scaling works, especially for small language cohorts. I'm doing French Continuers and we have 3 students in our class. How would scaling work in that case? I've been told that it still works the traditional way, while others say that my final mark would just be my external...
