    What subject are you dropping? Also any advice?

    Hahah well I'm doing pretty good at everything and I know my 3 worst units won't even count, its a nice net to have.

    What subject are you dropping? Also any advice?

    Yes but she has 2 subjects she isn't confident in. You evidently don't. Its fine if youre ace at your other 5. But she clearly has stated that she's not comfortable with either. Better to stick it out. I do 13 units and I'm a lot less stressed than my friends are.

    What subject are you dropping? Also any advice?

    You should drop nothing. Believe me I understand you don't want to put in the work but the kids who only have 10 units right now are the ones freaking the hell out about their exams. Its worth putting in the effort having the safety net.

    Controversial Creatives

    Why don't you do it from the point of view of the imaginary friend. Literally anything that shakes it up a little will grab their attention

    Really short Creative

    Yeah I have to agree with that. We got told to read a book called 'How not to write a novel', and it fully addresses forced dialogue. That's not something anybody would actually... say. Make your character believable or the readers won't connect. He also seems a little close to Moe from the...

    Freaking out about creative

    That is an awesome story line. I would read that book. Yeah most of the kids at my school have got the typical bullying/abuse/immigration storylines going on. And I have struggled far more with an original idea for belonging than I have with my Extension creative. I'll have a look for this...

    Controversial Creatives

    You're not screwed but suicide is honestly one of the most cliché things to put in your creative writing. Along with bullying, depression, anorexia, immigration and abuse. They will absolutely still mark it, at no stage in the guidelines does it forbid any topic. However if you're going to do...

    Really short Creative

    Well damn. That wasn't what I was expecting. You really need to shove some synonyms for belonging in there. And although the ending is surprising and cool, it doesn't really reveal anything about belonging, you need to sort of.. shape it so the end is actually meaningful.

    Freaking out about creative

    I get massively mixed feedback. I have 3 English teachers (adv, ext 1, ext 2) who all have completely different feedback. My advanced teacher tells me that I don't write a short story, I write an small section of a novel. My extension teacher says it doesn't need to have a full storyline as...

    Creative Question

    I used a swear in my extension 2 major work. Every teacher I asked said its ok as long as it is used in a sophisticated way. If you're using it to portray a certain characters voice then its necessary. I think we are old enough now to not be looked down upon for using profanities for emphasis...

    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    Guys want to hear my most embarrassing trial mistake. Question "You have studied the chemistry and construction of a lead-acid battery OR dry cell. Identify the cell you have studied and draw a diagram of its construction" My answer: Silver Button Cell *draws silver button cell* *loses 10...

    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    Tis true. But lets be honest can you imagine sitting in a warehouse having to read thousands of creative writing pieces about kids moving to new school and feeling as though they don't belong. I'd be eternally angry too.

    Predictions for Chemistry 2014 HSC?

    My chemistry teacher is ridiculously picky. Her marking on my answer said 'Equations??' 'Only useful in wet environments' That's it. One sentence missing and that's almost half the marks gone. Damn it chemistry. Thank god bio is so easy.

    ATAR Estimate

    Its hard to tell man. Depends what school you go to. Your overall ranks. How difficult your exams were as opposed to other people maybe getting easier ones. Looking at that I'd say mid to high 70's- mid 80's. Your marks are good for all your chosen subjects. But standard English doesn't scale...
