This. Most tutoring colleges require at least ATAR 95+ to be considered. Additionally, if you get all rounders/band 6 in any subjects, it's like you're automatically qualified to tutor in that subject, and people are willing to pay (privately) for inflated costs esp. If you're an all rounder...

Depends what type. Not sure if you're in uni yet, but there's heaps there, otherwise there's event volunteering like the colour run. There's a lot more volunteering opportunities in uni over high school

I haven't done any of your courses except for adv English and geo, but yes geo in year 11 and 12 has vastly different topics, and much better excursions/fieldwork activities than in year 10. Classes tend to be smaller which means you get more time with your teacher to do stuff such as extended...

If they're what you enjoy, go for it. Beware though VA and Dance both have major project components, so make sure you manage your time wisely.

You could keep all your subjects and pick up extension, then after your first HSC assessment, look at your scores and ranks and then decide.

Idk if this is going to be of any use, but here's my two cents. Apart form all the usual presentation tips that are abundant (eye contact etc.), try to give your speech with minimal use of palm cards. That why there's nothing between you and the audience and you get that sense of connection...

Also look at possible sources of error, why you use certain types of equipment (eg hot plate for ethanol because it's flammable), and independent/dependent/constant variables.

Geo's a little different to the other sciences, it more closely resembles the social science syllabuses. One of my friends did bio, chem and geo, and she did well (in your atar range). If you've got exams on the same day, you've got to study properly, and suck it up. For me, Music 2 and English...

Depends how you're going with them. Chemistry probably (80% sure) scales better than SOR II. Alternatively, keep them until your first HSC assessment then drop one.

If you're just filling up 12 units for Year 11 have no interest in continuing it to year 12, it doesn't really matter. But if you're serious about taking it through, then choose whichever one interests you more. The chem syllabus for the new HSC looks much better than when I did it, much much...

Would this mean you finish your course a bit earlier, and therefore have more revision lessons to prepare for the yearlies? I had no free periods in Year 11 myself, but I coped. Perhaps try to section out a period of time to only do homework that's due the next day/maths homework, then have...

Personally, I loved geography. It's a cross between the social sciences (mainly business) and bio/chem sciences. If you took a look at the syllabus, you'll see its nothing like year 9-10 geo (thankfully). It's probably the easier of the two (and probably scales lower than Eco), you mainly have...

I'd go and memorise one of the flow charts that are abundant on the Internet, and that should help you learn which reactions precipitate what from the unknown solution. If you work through examples with a flow chart next to you, it should help you understand the process, and memorise what steps...

So the music 2 part of your exam would be 3 performances + sight singing (one core, two others), 1 Comp (core), 1 musicology paper (core, includes 10 mark extended response with dictation and stuff like that). Extension would be 3 more pieces, one group and 2 individual as you've said. So in...

Any of the above, captain/vice cap obviously first, but make sure you have a slight interest in doing those before you commit :)

I think it's important, but considering my daily exercise is literally walking to train stations, bus stops and lecture classes, I guess its not the most important factor :D

If one of your main aspirations for picking economics is so you can do a dual degree (I'm guessing science/commerce), I'd think about it. Commerce/economics at uni doesn't require you to have done year 11/12 Eco/business studies, although the first year courses are definetly easier if you've...

1) My novel was semi interesting, so it wasn't that bad to read more than once, but i do remember reading it once in the summer holidays and then a second time to go sticky tab important pages, then compile a quote bank so I wouldn't have to comb through the the book once more. Our class...

I was in a similar position as you two years ago, and if I were you take it. You learn so much about yourself and you get heaps of situations in which you can draw upon in future interviews for anything, and honestly it doesn't take up that much of your time. I often used prefect things to...

yeah, if they use turnitin, they'll make you submit it directly. But usually, they can tell plagiarism has occurred when multiple students use the same quotes with the same analysis as say spark notes, in which they'd probably mark you done from. On another note, it seems like the thread only...
