Guys, if the meeting with my dad and the science coordinator to get me into physics becomes a failure, should I lodge a complaint to the Board of Studies about the ridiculous high ranks (top 25) needed to get in physics and chemistry? Because it is totally unfair to tell us if we can do a...

@Powlmao Are you sure? Or were you being sarcastic? Can I actually call them? But what will the BOS do about it?

Biology Assessment 1: 92% Biology Assessment 2: 88% Half Yearly Exam: 66% (That is where I know I really... screwed up) Chemistry Assessment: 95% Electricity Assessment: 93% The Biology assessments and Half Yearly Exam are the only assessments and exam counted towards our ranks for Year 10...

Guys tell us about your schools too, does your school restrict you to select your subjects?

Because I couldn't find a school to travel a decent distance, the small availability of higher academically-ranked schools. My dad doesn't want me to move because he said it wasn't worth staying here for 4 years just to leave now.

My school (Parramatta marist High School) does not let us choose our own subjects and (apparently) doesn't give higher-scaled subjects to us unless we are within a specific rank. - Firstly our Mathematics department is in poor shape. We get around 50-55 people who are not allowed to do maths...

I'm doing Accelerated Maths Extension 1 Prelim, English Extension 1, Physics, Economics, Studies of Religion 1 (accelerated) and Work Studies (to fill in the last unit)

Hey! I am at the last 3 weeks of the subject selection process. I'm just wondering whether I should take english extension in addition to english advanced. I am currently ranked 8th in English in the grade, and the Head of English told me I'm definitely invited in the course. But I've heard that...

Hey I'm in Year 10 and I am interested in our school's accelerated Studies of Religion 1 course. The head coordinator is recommending me to take it because of my high english marks and I think it will be a relief to finish it earlier, if I make a few commitments into my studying. The only...

Connective words?

I'm doing advanced english next year (currently in Year 10) and I need an expansive list of connective words used in an essay and also synonyms so I don't repeat the same word. Thanks! :uhhuh:

Hey I'm in yr 10 doing accelerated math and I want to know the definition of the point of inflection in calculus. Our teacher went ahead and we were going through it today but I missed a lesson recently and was confused. I need to ask some questions: (1) What is the point of inflection? (2)...

Hello everyone. I'm having difficulty in selection my subjects for Year 11, 2012 (if we survive) My main problems is that I cannot find another subject to fill my extra unit and struggling to determine which subjects to keep and which to leave behind. I am doing maths accelerated currently...

Hello everyone! I'm in year 10 doing maths accelerated. We have currently finished a year 11 two unit exam and I think I'm going extremely well this time. When I first started, I achieved 43/45 in my first exam (Basic Arithmetic, Algebra and Surds, and Equations) and I achieved 75/77 in the exam...

Hey! Share your thoughts on Selective schools now... If you attend a Selective school, share your experiences of the teachers and the quality of learning taken place in your school. Also, tell us which school you are from. :D

Thanks for the advice! :smile:

Okay, maybe a dumb question, but can someone tell me the difference between these two? I am in Year 10 and I'm doing the Yr 11 2 Unit maths course but I'm having difficulty telling them apart. And also, is the Mathematics Extension 1 Prelim the same as the Year 12 2 unit course? Sounds like a...

May I ask what mark you got in the exam? Also, I won't need your notes - I'll make them by myself

I lost my marks in multiple choice (I got 6/10 for that section) I lost a few marks in Short answer 'one-worded' questions (I got 7/10 for that section) I lost 1 mark from plotting the last 2 points of a graph incorrectly (5/6 for that section) I lost 1 mark for labelling the food chain in...
