I picked Japanese Studies :) I did Japanese throughout high school so I thought I should continue it haha I think you can pick a language from the Table A senior units and they should have the level that you're at (if you had only been studying French in high school). When I checked, the Table...

Hi! I'm doing the same course as you but I'm also a 2014'er. I'm also very confused about this credit system and the seemingly endless units of study. The course needs a total of 240 credit points to graduate, and ideally we will be graduating in 5 years. So we should complete an average of 24...

Tutoring was helpful for me because I'm normally incredibly lazy, but tutors push me to do work. I went to Dr Du for years 10-12 for maths. It was an extremely competitive environment because the class was pretty much full of high achievers, and also there was an extremely demanding workload...

Sorry for the late reply! It might be different from everyone, but I began to enjoy English when I liked the texts. As I studied, analysed, and read articles about the text, I started to appreciate them for how deep they were. I found the content interesting, and as I dug deeper into the...

I find that to get into the band 6 range you need a sophisticated answer to the essay question. This obviously needs, first and foremost, a thorough and thematic understanding of the content. Remember that Modern History isn't about how well you can understand the dates and events, but about...

Hi, this is a great thread! Hope you'll allow me to join this thread too - I am also a Modern History student of 2014 and I would be happy to provide any help for USA, Mikhail Gorbachev and Cold War topics :)

Hey guys :) I know a thread like this has already been started by Mikasa, and I am in no way trying to undermine her efforts or anything, she is very generous. Rather I would like to give back to the BOS community and also help anybody with English these holidays ^_^ I'm offering free feedback...

1) is it possible to jump into to top 10 for bio/44, I'm currently 18th. The first assessment had a weighting of 30% Yes it is very possible. Your rank isn't bad and you still have about 70% of assessments to go. If you work hard, then that is enough for you to jump ranks. 2) Is it possible to...

I can recommend my friend who state ranked english advanced this year, pm if interested ^_^

I only ever used notes for English and modern history. I would definitely recommend making your own notes for humanities subjects. It's one of the best ways to engage with the content. Writing out your own understanding of the syllabus will really hone your knowledge. Keep other people's notes...

Source analysis is a skill so you should practice lots of it and get it marked by your teacher. :) Some things to take note of: - just because the source takes on a certain nationality, it does not mean the source is biased. You can only say if it is biased if the evidence in the source...

Didnt do ww1 well because I got stumped in the mc, and the source analysis was a bit of a mess for me as well. However one of the Cold War questions was the same as our trial so that was pretty much a godsend lol and the USA question was pretty good as well. Main problem is ww1, hope I can still...

Haha I think Easter was actually good to use when talking about the complex nature of inspiration. I talked about it in terms of how the Irish rebels were a source for inspiration because their sacrifice revived the Irish revolutionary spirit, but in the end it was extremely complex because of...

It's fine, I do that all the time.

Which options do you do?

Why doesn't he recommend 4u? If you're doing well and you enjoy maths then why not. But ultimately it comes down to your preferences. Chem is probably the best option to drop by the sound of it. I'm doing Eng Adv + Ext, 3U + 4U maths, Modern and Jap which is almost the same as what you're...

Maths - practice gets you close to perfect. It really is just a matter of completing your homework and making sure you're exposed to all different kinds of questions. The hardest topics for most people is Binomial Theorem and Projectile Motion although I find Perms and Combs really hard as well...

Pretty much maths relies on 30% prelim course. And language as well would definitely rely on all of your prelim content too. I guess with subjects that are more skill-based and less content-based would be more likely to have stuff carry over from prelim? English is entirely different texts and...

Stuff like don't procrastinate, be consistent, sleep more, etc, must sound really repetitive at this point and you've probably heard the same things all the time. But those are also the most important. Ideally you need to be committed throughout the whole year, but to be honest everyone...

Probably low to mid 90s?
