    Physics VS Modern History- Year 10 Subject Selection

    The people in my school find physics perpetually harder compared to the history/humanities subjects. If you're doing better in science right now pick physics or if you think you can dominate the essay-based subjects go for modern history.

    HSC Mobile Apps, yay or nay?

    Developing apps and such take time, developers need to make money. It's one's choice if they want to pay or not just as it's someone's choice to attend a public school or a private school.

    How many N awards to get kicked out of Year 12?

    Our school's policy is if you get 3 N-determination awards in ONE particular subject, you're unable to do the subject and as a result, ineligible to receive a HSC.

    Software or Business??

    Software becomes heaps easy if you have a passion for algorithms/pseudocode or learning about it. There aren't essays in software, it's more so problem solving. It doesn't feel like a memorisation-based subject if you enjoy it.

    I'm not grasping something in extended responses and my marks are suffering.

    Oh point of note, don't mention any character in your topic sentence. It has to be conceptual.

    I'm not grasping something in extended responses and my marks are suffering.

    - Whenever marker says lacks 'textual detail' you must analyse it with techniques. See the technique list here: https://www.matrix.edu.au/film-techniques-how-to-analyse-a-cinematic-text/ (for films) - Your response contains A LOT of quotations. If it's a film, you should use some film...

    What was the feedback your teachers gave you?

    Guess this literary technique NOW!

    Formal, 3rd person language? Perhaps the modality?

    No it's not... not for domestic students who've sat the HSC or equivalent.

    Failing Advanced English

    If the teacher said you need to show a deeper understanding of the text, that isn't useful feedback. Normally teachers will write little comments and draw lines to certain parts of the paragraph that need to be omitted or changed. Do you use connectors like "additionally" and "on the contrary"...

    Global Leaders Entry Program for Engineering??

    Ah okay, thanks for your response. Do you know if: - They're really strict with grades? - If someone receives the offer before they sit the HSC? Because our school has 2 trials this term, so I'm wondering which one's marks count. - When exactly do people find out if they made it or not.

    Global Leaders Entry Program for Engineering??

    Hey there, So I was thinking about doing the GLEP scheme for Macquarie Uni. I was wondering what are the chances of making it in. For the 3 Leadership/Extra-curricular activities I plan on adding: - My chess club/comp work - My programming portfolio - In-school fundraising I've done for the...

    Hsc markssss atarrrrr

    Depends on: - On how well the people whose ranks are near you perform in the HSC. - How well you do in the HSC. You should try your best to increase your ranks a bit more (in any coming trials) to maximise your potential ATAR. What exactly is your ATAR goal?

    Anyone got E12 scholarship?

    Nope, what school do you go to? There is a certain list of schools eligible that USyd allows for this. Have you had a look at that?

    Opinions and help????? Repeating??

    If you haven't gotten any 'N determination' awards for any courses, then you should be fine. If many students are in the same boat as you, they won't do anything as they most likely won't force a bunch of people to repeat.
