I'd suggest that you aim to stay on top of all your assessments. This is part of the early stage of year 12 where you should try not to fall behind in anything. If one hour a night is sufficient to complete your homework and get a bit of notes down, then it's fine for now. However, you should...

content - wise: one of the incentives of standard english is that it does not contain any Shakespeare component, which is a big plus for a lot of people. Also, Advanced English focuses more on the 'how' bit (ie. how the composer expresses an idea) and so it's more analytical than Standard...

another question, what's the 'course pack'?

where can you purchase the course notes?

Which textbook do you use? If you're using Cambridge 3u Year 11, this time last year my school was just about finishing the textbook and moving onto the year 12 book. If you can find the schoolwork easy and you want to be ahead, like the others have said, self-study and/or get someone to help...

The state ranking of your school will not disadvantage your ATAR chances. Just do the best you can in all your assessments and exams.

planning is only part of the road to success - you've got to stick to your plan. ensure that your plan is flexible, ie leave time for urgent work. also devote more time to subjects you feel not very strong in. that being said, with your timetable, 80+ should be well within reach =]

agreed. Leconte's commentary style is not very 'mainstream'. it's either you like him or you don't. Sometimes it's entertaining and provides a light-hearted side to the intense matches; other times his commentary should be more informative. hope Justine wins =]

There will be a lot of major work to be submitted for Visual Arts, so if you choose to pick it, then you should keep that in mind. I guess VA is less demanding as a subject compared to the others. So if it would be a nice balance for your more rigorous subjects like the extensions. Are you a...

Basically I think ACCT1501, ECON1101, MGMT1001 are the compulsory core courses that you have to do for Commerce. Whereas others would choose a statistics course, those intending on majoring in Actuarial Studies should be doing MATH1151. I'm not too sure about the finance bit. You should...

Thanks!!!

LOL, no, though i wish i was that Fan girl. I made my signature a loonnng time ago, after trials, so those ranks are internal ranks, but i did achieve good HSC marks. Good luck with your studies! =]

I know that you can check for textbooks from the UNSW Bookshop website, but I just wanted to confirm which textbooks I definitely should/need to buy and which ones are excellent supplementary texts for these courses: ACCT1501, ECON1101, MATH1151, MGMT1001. Thanks heaps!!

Whether or not to get tutoring and when depend on individual needs. If you think you can cope well with the schoolwork, achieve excellent results and perhaps even try to be a little bit ahead or if you prefer to self-teach, then you probably don't need tutoring. Don't feel pressured to get...

just work as hard as you can, get the best ranking you can and your efforts will pay off when it comes to the ATAR. 84+ should be quite achievable then.

Work hard to raise your rank to as high as possible and maintain it. Make sure you do past papers (trials + HSC). Good luck!!

do what you enjoy the most and what you're best at. think about and compare how much effort you've been putting into each of your subjects and the marks you got in return. good luck!!!

My prescribed Belonging text was also AYLI (it was such a pain!!) and my supplementary texts were: Babel - Inarritu's recent and award winning film (suggested by English teacher), divided into 4 strands set in different parts of the world, strong exploration in the idea of family connections(...

agreed. there is more maths involved in physics. which one interests you more? maybe you should flip through the relevant textbooks and see which one appeals to you more. for me, chemistry was more like a personal interest rather than a subject, so i didn't feel like that i was 'studying' for...
