11 units is really preferable, I personally did 11 units and the extra study period + the fact that I didn't have that many subjects to studied for made exam periods really manageable and my study timetable really enjoyable. If you're losing motivation an easy way to inspire yourself to...

Doing 14 units is acceptable in Year 11 if you really don't know what you want to do in your HSC. Although, if you do 4U maths in year 12 it's quite common that people do drop down to 12 units and even 10 units given the permission of your maths teacher (although schools rarely allow this)...

In all honesty, you can do well with low scaling subjects but you're right if you do want to have some high-scaling subjects. Legal to Chemistry would be a switch to a higher scaling subject but they are 2 totally different subjects and you should pick whatever interests you the most. Your...

I agree with pretty what everyone is saying about your last subject choice, honestly it should come down to whatever interests you but if you want biased opinion I'd say out of those options pick economics :D Also, this might be coming a little late but if you wanted to read something about...

I did Business Studies in Year 11, was a bunch of fun and was relatively engaging compared to commerce in Year 10. I personally enjoyed the common sense aspect to it but I ended up dropping it for Year 12 even though I ended up coming 2nd just because I wanted more time to study on my other...

I'd do it but you're teacher is recommending you drop because he's unsure whether you are personally prepared to do the amount of work required to keep up with doing an accelerated course and your original Preliminary HSC course. Honestly, try your heart out for this upcoming exam but if you're...

Thanks man! I hope it was a good read, definitely something I would have followed back when I was sitting the HSC.

Step 5 – Handwriting, Writing Speed, and Exam Preparation This step is consistent throughout your whole study of English and probably any of your subjects. One of the most important things that a Band 6 student for English can do is actually write out all their essays in the exam period, in a...

Step 3 – Feedback and Peer-Marking After you’ve spent those hours editing your essays and perfecting them to a standard that you are comfortable and happy with you can now seek out the help of others without wasting either parties time. The benefits of asking someone else who is skilled at...

How should you prepare for the English Advanced/Standard HSC? What have you done since the Trial HSC for English? Still waiting until after graduation before you start? Well, in all honesty, a lot of students post Trial HSC don’t even start working on their English until about 3 weeks out from...

Re: Need anaysis on dulce decroum est and anthem of doomed youth and linked to grief& lol, bad luck that no one replied but if you were still wondering... Dulce explores grief and loss through the sense of betrayal the soldiers felt as they were blindly fighting for their country but...

well if you want to be super specific it's a satirical technique :drink:

don't stress but try your hardest, definitely worth knowing you didn't waste your last chance of getting an indicator of whether or not you know your Prelim content. Definitely do as you planned, doing notes for 2-3 weeks will help you learn or relearn a lot of important content and 3 weeks of...

I agree that it does sound pretty useless to quote but I like to think of it like providing evidence, for example it gets you in the habit of not just saying something but proving that it actually is the case, just like providing a statistic.

You've only got a little longer to go, as strawberrye said just try your best to stay motivated. Although, if you want to feel better about yourself spend a day or two looking through possible courses that might not need such a high ATAR, it's always good to aim high but to know that you've...

imho a lot of discovery creatives score low marks because they focus too much on just making the main character really surprised about something. A lot of good creatives will not focus on the surprise element of a discovery but the emotions that lead up to one, exist during one and exist after...

I'd drop one at a time, probably between Business and PDHPE you might want to compare what percentages your getting in your exams to give you a better idea. I'd keep your maths in my opinion as it gives you a great chance at getting a good ATAR if you're good at it (and you can definitely...

The first tip is to just relax and understand that heaps of people are in the same boat as you. The point is, you shouldn't feel that you have to do this alone, your friends and other graduates of the HSC had to come across similar issues. If you're stumped on your sciences the honest advice...

They should have that information if they were actually recording everything properly. You should definitely request to see your ranks as it definitely does tell you how your performing against your year which you'll eventually be competing against in your HSC. My school did tell everyone their...

do it, very fun subject in Year 11 since you'll probably be with people in your class and doing extra practice to better your writing in both ext. and advanced English.
