    95+ (fingers crossed). I'm confident that with a enough effort I could do really well. I dropped chemistry because our teacher was pretty much completely ignoring the syllabus, which generally isn't a very good sign.

    such a thing?

    Wow, I can see you're rolling in enthusiastic replies... :cold: USYD runs a Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of IT...... IPT and IT pretty much the same and commerce involves some elements of economics, not a very large perecentage however. UNSW has a computer engineering/arts programme... they...

    How to get Extension English

    You don't find doing both 3U math and English hard? Well it's obviously going to be demanding but have you ever really had to struggle? My friends already think I'm mad and I'd love to give them another reason and everything but do you really think it's worth it?? :confused:

    How to get Extension English

    Oh. I see how that might be a problem. If it's mostly individual work then the only way you know you're on track is from the teachers feed back. With a correspondance course do you send assignments and stuff to a marker or something??

    How to get Extension English

    I go to Hunter River High (Raymond Terrace High)... You know the one which was recently labelled a "fight club" by the Newcastle Herald?? I'll talk to my subjects coordinator on Monday. I have five free periods a fortnight, I don't see why I can't take another subject :D And in my experience...

    Dropping Physics and picking up Ancient History?

    I'm doing both Ancient and Physics at the moment and I can tell you that Physics is one of the most interesting subjects you can do but it's also one of the most complicated. If you are doubting yourself the safest answer would be to do Ancient History because it is just as interesting and...

    How to get Extension English

    I've always achieved far better results in English than any of my other subjects and I was hoping that come year 11 I would be able to break away from the herd and study extension as a challenge. But (and a big one), my school has NEVER ever taught extension English in it's entire history and...

    Hey, read your post about subject choices and I knew you'd get the whole scaling speech. If your still worried about whether to do IPT or Biology I had the same choice on one of my lines. I spoke to the teacher running IPT and found out that unless you really want to go into computer science and...

    Wow I had the exact same subjects as you before I changed chemistry to modern AND my school is ranked in the 400's aswell... high five for aiming high!

    School

    If I do study it's only for the purpose of entertaining myself. For instance, I went three exrecises ahead in maths ext. because we only have 3 lessons a fortnight and I have been extremely bored so far. And I looked further into our current case study for Modern, but that's because i'm sharing...

    So you think you want a motorcycle?

    I have a really hard time judging how close the car is to the lines and how far i need to turn to make a corner... I like the fact that on a motorbike you have a good sense of where you are on the road and how close you can get to other cars and tight corners. It is a little weird but hey...

    HELP! What should i do?

    A good memory would be really helpful in chemistry as well as history.. remembering chemical names, symbols, formulas, atomic weights, reactions and technological applications isn't as easy as it sounds lol ;). If you honestly want to be a doctor becasue you know you'll enjoy your career and...

    Prelim Subject Advice?

    You're clearly capable of all of them and just want to make a choice you won't regret later on... probably because of lack of interest or bad teacher or whatever. I had a choice between Ancient History, Business Studies, Legal Studies and Visual Arts on one line. I chose Ancient History becasue...

    question about free periods and suff

    Every school has it's own policy. The seniors at my school got miffed this year. Up until this year seniors could sign in and out of school whenever they felt like it as long as they attended all classes. They could leave during free periods and come back for their next class and if they had...

    Regretting or Hating any subjects?

    I chose Biology specifically because it 'didn't' involve human anatomy. I love the environmental part but hate the stuff about what goes on inside my guts and skull... (shudder) I haven't had it yet but we have a really good teacher assigned to us and I've heard great things from everyone...
