Man chill out, if your 'prelims are coming up', then I'm assuming you're in Year 11? Objectively, none of your marks or rankings are relevant in Year 12, you start off fresh next term. But, it is advised that you should develop into good study habits and get into an effective routine before you...

Also, just letting you know that the syllabus change next year is only applicable for English, mathematics, science and history courses — economics will not be affected by this change, if I'm not mistaken. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which Year 11 & 12 Economics Textbook? I'm in my prelim year, this is the book we (along with most schools I know) use. He might not necessarily retain the information effectively though because most of the concepts he will not have heard of before. I would also recommend you ask him to...

Hey, I don't do any history subjects but I've heard that despite its decent scaling, it scales quite low for an Extension subject. (lower than English Extension 1 and Maths Extension 1) But if you do well, then this really shouldn't be a major area of concern. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well if you're first, then you won't be affected by the possibility of being dragged down by your cohort because you receive the highest external mark as your internal mark. The ranks between first and last are moderated according to internal rankings and the relative gaps between them, which is...

Well maybe start by analysing the measures implemented in the 2017-18 budget, such as funding cuts etc which ultimately are put into place to sustain long term GDP growth for our economy (to reach a budget surplus). The government wants to balance the budget this way so that it is easier to...

Hahaha nope, I'm in Year 11 now but I remember in Year 10 we had to recite a soliliquy/monologue in Macbeth with characterisation and dramatisation and analyse it in a speech. In year 8, we had to create our own soliliquy for Romeo and Juliet though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well theoretically, you could attain any atar with any combination of subjects - provided you put in the amount of effort necessary. I can't speak for sciences, but people generally advise against taking all three sciences because the content can be overwhelmingly difficult to comprehend. But...

Re: What is it like doing B International Studies/B Media (Communication and Journali I'm also genuinely curious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't speak for Geography, but I'm currently taking Preliminary Economics. While I did commerce in Year 9 and 10, I do believe that I could've done just as well without it. Economics is more of a 'theory-based' and more 'conceptual' subject, but there is still a degree of memorisation involved...

Well, I don't know if this will help, but the content in English Extension is far more interesting than the boring Advanced English course. It's just the course is quite demanding in terms of analytical and contextual depth. To get an idea of how the course is like, you will be studying 3 texts...

Hey! I stress, do NOT take English Extension if you dread going to your English classes right now. In year 10, I was topping English too, but I thoroughly enjoyed the subject, hence why I chose it for Year 11. I'm currently in the Preliminary English Extension course and the content is far...

No worries, best of luck! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did an essay on Dracula based on a similar question last term for English Extension for my half yearly exam actually, so I hope I'll be able to help you somewhat. Aside from the spelling and grammatical errors that have been mentioned previously, here is my feedback for your paragraph; First...

Omg that sucks hahaha. But, jesus christ, your modern and legal marks are impeccable! I'm really upset that I haven't scraped 90% in any subject, it's kinda depressing tbh. Did my economics exam last Friday and oh god, that question was absolutely traumatising. I didn't expect it to be that at...

Hey! I got my half yearly report last week and I'm not too happy with it. I'm completely bombing biology, and purposely failing because it's such a bludge lol. Really hoping I can pull up my English Adv and mathematics mark before the yearlies. English Adv 80% - 12/67 English Ext 83% - 3/10...

Agreed with Frostguard. I'm in the middle of prelims and I take English Extension 1. I really think whether or not it's the right choice is dependent on your passion for English. The content is more interesting than Advanced, sure, but it requires a higher level of critical thought than you're...

I have so many ideas which will probably change over time but atm I'm contemplating the following; - Secondary English teacher - Graphic designer - Video editor - Emergency medicine - Pediatric oncology - Ob/gyn - Something to do with economics As you can see, my choices are very broad lol...
