    Why is it so hard to get a band 6 in Standard English?

    Hey Guys!! So basically I've been looking at the stats of how many people have got band 6's in Standard English and something ridiculous like 0.01% of the people that do standard get a band six... I was just wondering why it's so hard to get a band six in standard? Is it because of scaling...

    Extensions

    hahaha this thread has the best responses i've seen! HSC extensions work quite simply. In year 11 the only two extensions that run are English Extension 1 and Mathematics Extension 1 - They're 1 unit courses meaning that you have half as much class time as all your other subjects and more...

    Modern History General Questions and Essay Help Thread

    You don't necessarily have to use historians in modern history (quote from my teacher who is the head marker for modern history in NSW) but if you're going to use them then use them to back up your arguments and if you're going to quote an historian it's better to paraphrase than actually use...

    French Extension 2015 Thread!

    I'm really concerned now, we're only up to extract 4 as my teacher just wants to focus on the prescribed issues/monologues and we only did those extracts bc she was away for a few weeks and had to give us work to do.
