And hope for the best. Hope you have contacts!

In prelim geography, you have to complete a geography project about something you want to research. It's a *little* time consuming, but it's fun too. So yeah. Beware of that. But hsc geography has no project- yay! There is overlap between earth and environmental science and geography, mainly...

My school is usually ranked 70-120, and there this one science teaching spot that I swear is cursed, whoever gets it always turns out to be a shitty teacher- for example, she skimmed through the whole first topic of prelim Chem and made her class essentially learn everything themselves. Imo...

Hmmmm.. It really depends on your opinion. I guess it would be great to feel what the hsc is like before you do the main round of hsc assessments the year after,but since it sounds like you're not doing very well, it sounds like a waste of time. Because you aren't really motivated to do well...

Ahaha probably not ;)

I can access YouTube without a tafe account, however, to get to like any other blocked site you'll probably need a tafe account (but I don't know of any!)

If I break mine it's 300 bucks not 600 thankfully. Sucks to be you writtenloveletters! (Hugs)

I agree. I'm not wanting to take 13 units (14 with music extension) into the HSC year, on top of EC's!!

Gosh you're so much more prepared than me! But I do get where you're coming from, I guess they have been using those verbs in tests without the student (me) actually knowing what the verb means to do. I think studying social sciences really improves that knowledge of key words though, only in...

Yeah so I heard. But it also requires a lot of effort too. Keep in mind that the people doing advanced english (mostly) are people who did well in year 9-10. So basically you're competing against those that are already great! I myself found that leap hard to adjust to at first, but now I'm...

I thought in order to do extension maths in year 12, you would had to have done the maths extension course in year 11, isnt it a prerequisite for HSC Ext 1 and Ext 2?

Well I don't do physics so I wouldn't have a clue, but most likely (I won't say defintely) it won't be tested.

1) I believe only prelim maths is tested at hsc level. But someone correct me if I'm wrong. Other subjects have transferable skills though, like essay writing, extended response writing in different subjects, compositions for arts etc. 2) Nope. Year 12 is a clean slate. Doesn't matter how well...

My "report" was the teacher ticking the boxes of: excellent, very good, satifaction, needs improvement, unable to comment. So considering you guys get ranks and all is cool. I wish I knew my ranks for all my subjects so I could have a clearer indication of what I should drop!

They probably imply it since year 7, but they make more of a deal of them in year 9 onwards, and esp. in year 11 (obviously) and year 12 (well I wonder why lol)

Yeah crappy teachers mean that the textbook is your new best friend!

I know people who have done both history courses and did well... So it's up to how well you study for them. That SAC PIP kills a lot of people with poor management skills, in my grade they recently did a mini pip and many were doing surveys a week out from submission. So depends on your time...

If you like music then choose a music course! It's a different type of studying, think of practicing like a form of study :) If you like science and global issues and a little bit of history, then choose geography! It's great too... Besides from the project in prelim (brr) Perhaps you might...

Re: What kind of music do you listen to?? Whatever my mood is. Usually it's classical music, but othertimes its soundtracks or pop songs. Really anything EXCEPT RAP. Gosh i hate rap, and can't study with it on.

I think someone else wrote somewhere else this already: but I use a to do list, I write down everything I have to do and then prioritise which task to do first. Get the syllabus for each subject and write the dot point at the top of your page then write all the info underneath that heading...
