Note: I don't do Biology so I can't really state whether it is interesting or not. Personally, I think you should discuss with your teacher, mention that you're planning to pick up History Extension. I'm in the same situation as you only with different subjects. At the end of the day it is...

Thank you so much guys for the advice! :)

Hi, I've finished the prelims for Extension 1 Maths and don't start the HSC until Week 4 (what my school told our cohort). However, the school subject coordinator has informed my cohort and I that we need to start deciding what to drop and/or pick up for Year 12 right now. Throughout the year...

Sorry, I meant the options for English were just books my school adviced us to purchase. Not textbooks. : ) ^^ (Forgot to quote).

Hi, I'm commencing Year 12 next year and we just received our booklist. Considering you do different subjects to me (exception of Modern History and possibly Extension History - don't know if I'm good enough to do it) I have looked up the textbooks you have mentioned and discovered the ones my...

There are multiple students in my grade doing this type of subject selection. They are doing quite well. There have been past HSC students in my school who have done this combination and have done exceptionally well too. The only difference they do thirteen units (we have to do religion at my...

Yes, of course, it is. You can get a 99.95 ATAR with any subject. You need to do really well in all of your subjects as you stated above. Just work hard in English Standard. Make sure you perfect your essay and creative writing. Ask a variety of teachers to mark them and provide feedback. Go...

Hi, Based off my experience I considered dropping down to Advanced Maths before Year 11 even started. HOWEVER, after receiving great advice from the fellow BOS members on this website I stuck with it. I'M NOT REGRETTING IT AT ALL! By the way special thanks to all the BOS members who helped me...

Hey, I'm in Year 11 and I remember being in your position last year. Here are a few notes: * Year 11 and 12 are completely different to Year 9 and 10. Usually people perceive the "smart kids" from Years 7 - 10 to be getting the 90+ ATARS or the students who choose "scaled" subjects, however...

@si2136, BLIT2014, pikachu975, sarkar_as (everyone I didn't do a quick reply to). Thanks for the advice and sharing your experiences with the two courses. I appreciate it. It's helped me out a lot with my decisions. Better to start higher and if it's too hard, move down. Have a good Christmas...

Thank you for the advice and additional information about the University courses, along with the statistics for Standard English. :) Woah 150 people out of over 31,000 got a band 6...

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, sometimes I set standards which are pretty high and cause a bit of stress. Learning how to stop doing that for the future.

Hi :wavey: I'm a new user on the forum and have nearly completed Year 10. My cohort and I have completed our subject selection in Term 1 (a bit early??), but we are allowed to move out of our subjects now and for the first four weeks of next year. I've currently got an idea of what I want to do...
