wait that's us too lmao i just was worried everyone would think it was weird

our periods are like 50 minutes or so same??? trying to coordinate stuff outside of school is literally a nightmare bc i don't know when my afternoon classes will be yet

okay i topped my ext 1 english cohort in yr 11 and my biggest tips are as follows: - context. obviously don't go completely ham and write your whole essay on it unless it's the question, but if you can talk about WHY the author wrote what they did that'll add a lot more credibility to your...

i do ext english and love it (although obviously i'm an english girlie, and it helps that i topped in year 11) - assessments will differ school to school i believe - in year 11 we had a discursive, an essay, and an irp, the latter being the only assessment i think every school does. - extension...

yeah i totally agree with masaken. i suffered from severe burnout in year 8 and 9 and most of that was because i didn't give myself the rest i needed. to prevent it in the future - obviously allow yourself breaks but also setting little goals for myself worked wonders - today my goal is to...

exactly!! i'm not ready for my childhood to be over. the hsc has seemed like this big foreign thing for my whole life and now i'm doing it i don't know what to do with myself!

yeah i'm not at all ready. i turned 17 the other day and had an existential meltdown about it

pethmin you actually genuinely terrify me i respect it though

oh i used to always make silly mistakes in maths (still do tbf) and i got 53% on my maths adv trial bc of them. i managed to get like 95% on the hsc itself (like 2 months later), so i can try to give you some tips? - practice tests are literally my love, do the questions and then GO THROUGH THE...

meditation and breathing scare me - i lie there and immediately Every Thought Ever enters my brain. maybe i should try it again although i literally can't sit still

i thought they were somewhat affiliated with similar values and level of pressure but again, not super familiar with selective schools - despite both my parents going to ruse i never sat the test. good luck though - i'm sure wherever you go you'll be great

okay i'm not super familiar with selective schools but i thought i'd offer my two cents - if north sydney boys is anything like north sydney girls, it's a very stressful and very competitive environment. that was an opinion given to me by a few people, but again there are a bunch of people who...

i do history extension!! i guess the thing to keep in mind is make sure you're analysing the creation of history not history itself - like i don't know much about the Mayan decline but you could talk about the proposed theories and the historical evidence behind them and the historians...

i am not at all familiar with the absurdist style but i would say don't necessarily be deterred because it's cliché, that doesn't mean you can't do well with it. you're clearly very passionate about that style and i'm sure you can do super well!! how closely do you work with your teacher, i.e...

tysm!!! i'll see how i go - i can keep you updated with the process and the marking and stuff if you're considering it? same with history extension, i can let you know what that's like because it seems like you're thinking about it??

i love like all of those books, except nevermoor - i never really got into it i really liked six of crows and song of achilles (booktok pulled through with those ones!). les mis is a good classic to read if you have a bunch of time. i loved if we were villians if you can stomach shakespeare...

thank you omg!!! if i do okay i might upload it to bos. yeah choosing subjects is stressful, i'm really enjoying it so far. the objective thing is definitely a worry but i do a lot of history and english which can have similar issues so i'm sort of used to it

yeah sure!! i've wanted to do ext 2 since year 7, I've been so excited for it. i feel like i'm at like complete odds with the rest of the bos community!! i'm doing a historical fiction piece on the 1832 Paris Uprising, most likely writing it as a compilation of historical documents (letters...

thank you for your faith in me!!! i'm giving it my best shot so i suppose we'll see how it goes - i might have to let you know this time next year!

oh sure!! the two main problems with my trial were: not understanding the content (sequences and series looking at you): this was less of a problem for me so pretty easy to rectify. i did a lot of textbook questions. i pretty much set like, bare minimum an hour a week and ran through questions...
