    I can't wait to find out my Legal Studies results!!! Think I smashed it!!! Though I'm really scared about my English Advanced Listening task, such a nightmare and I know I got so many questions wrong :(

    English Change Creative Story: 17/21 =2nd first was one mark above! Holding onto 1st but the second place guy overall is crazy good! The teacher got 19/21 because she did the task too! Considering she has amazing qualifications and performed the test under the same conditions as the class, I'm...

    How competitive is your cohort?

    Just wondering how competitive the cohorts of the school's you people go to are really. My school is ranked very low (though does fluctuate sometimes gaining 100+ ranking), and I feel has a pretty competitive cohort, particuarly in English and Maths. In English, we have 4 people in Advanced...

    Yeah my Ext 1 mark for Maths was quite a bit better than the 2U mark. I think our teacher just made the test far too difficult and not suitable for Year 11 students. Only four of us passed lol.

    Favourite and Least Favourite Prelim Subjects

    English Ext 1>>Ancient History>> Ext 1 Maths>> CAFS>> Legal Studies=English Advanced>> Advanced Maths>> Biology :( I don't like my Bio teacher and she isn't that good on focusing on major points! Ancient is getting quite a lot better actually! We're finally doing something interesting!

    Favourite and Least Favourite Prelim Subjects

    Absolutely! I reckon my annoying and vague Physics teacher played a huge part in me dropping it for CAFS lol Also yeah you're getting more out of the subject with a good teacher so generally most people would probably like the subject more.
  15. Focus is Key

    Any advice please.

    Yeah my teacher very, very rarely gives a 20/20 as well. Sometimes an essay considered "virtually perfect" as she says isn't enough. She originally had my essay at 20/20 but on a second marking took it down to a 19/20. For our first task there was one 19, two 18's, a 17 and then pretty much...

    Favourite and Least Favourite Prelim Subjects

    I, along with seemingly everyone in our Advanced class, would far prefer the Extension 1 method as well. Most of the people I've talked to dislike English due to its huge focus on the techniques and analysis so I reckon it'd benefit everyone if a syllabus similar to Ext 1 was implemented.

    Favourite and Least Favourite Prelim Subjects

    Its exactly the same for me dr cookie!. Last year we had this really good teacher who could explain really well and the majority of our class got 85%+ on tests. This year our teacher is very smart but can't explain well at all and just like your teacher his methods are really annoying and vague...

    Favourite and Least Favourite Prelim Subjects

    Hey guys, I was just wondering what your favourite and most hated subjects are. For me: Favourite- Extension 1 English: I find the class so interesting and far better than Advanced English. In Extension English you actually delve into the context of the novels and aren't just seemingly only...
