Maximum UAI for a student doing Eng Standard was 99.7 last year. It is very hard to get band 6 in Eng Std i think it was only 7 people last year and according to UAC <1% of the cohort got band 6 campared with Eng Adv where it was 8% of the cohort which recieved band 6 English Standard...

Re: Olympiads Yeah 80% is achievable if you know most of the stuff but you have to remember you also have to focus on yr11 not just the olympiad. I'll ask tonight one of the scholars tonight, but what i posted up was for chem and i know in the the recent years the bio NQE has been dumbed...

I've covered 1 whole term of HSC bio and have made detailed notes, im currently doing chem Prod of Mat notes atm, also done core WW1 for modern, im reading two 19thC books for eng ext, im reading coleridge and making notes for physical journey's, i havent done anything for maths though prob...

Re: Olympiads I've been talking to two of the scholars from ASO post-exam of course. Note their is no cut-off mark for the camp and is based on ranking (top 23 get in)!!! For Chem camp entry entrants usually have a mark above 40%, HD is ususally 10-15%+, D around 10% correct, but it varies...

Nope i didnt take yr 11 seriously i've started studying and making notes and i've gone through all the syllabus' during these hols i've covered the first module of bio and chem already and also doing heaps of maths revision. Im working pretty hard at the moment im desperate to get into med and...

The teacher usually chooses, mainly because of their own knowledge and the resources they have. Im going to be doing: Imaginaitive Pescribed: Samuel Taylor Coleridge- Poetry Anyway theres a study day for the AOS Journey's http://www.englishteacher.com.au/studentEvents.php One of...

Had english ext this morning grr 2hr exam. I screwed up the creative response :(

Hey yeah one of my friends friends came here from England this year. She said she was half-way through GCSE. Well at the school she's at shes topping english and extension.

Im not ready for yr 12. I've got a whole heap of studying during the hols.

Yeah most people who do eng ext have a yearly exam it will help students get use to the style of the exam for yr12. I had a portfolio; a critical on 3 non-class novels, creative and a 15minute speech for our assesments.

Pfft.. We dont study insects in Senior Bio We study enzymes, body systems, evolution, DNA, diseases, etc. Also options such as Genetics, Communication, Biotechnology, Biochem and Human story. Gotta agree with Sofstar Chem is more important than both bio and fizz even though i hate chem.

I go to a selective school and everyone in my bio class is extremly nerdy and competitive. Anyways there was only a few marks difference between me and the rest of the class. I just find coping with vast amounts of info much easier then learning concepts and logic that was required in subjects...

I didn't do it because im graphically challenged. But everyone in my class who did it got a distinction or above. You should see Ruses results like 70+ HD last year.

I have folders for every subject, folders for all of the HSC trial exams i have, one for assesments, im trying to colour code stuff at the moment. I have piles of notes for most of my HSC subjects im running out of room. I prefer to use other peoples notes and add to them. I have a library card...

C.19th-Individual in society is feminist and there are only 5 texts and they are all feminist or portray the individual usually female and the breaking of the paradigmand social constrains. So yeah its not just your school choosing just the feminist ones.

Penrith Selective but it's one of the lower ranked selective schools 25th it jumped from 50th, Maths comps arent a joke especially the AMC at my school most people got high distiction or distinction.

Nah i got tutored earlier this year by her, yeah a few people at my school do 4-unit maths and maths comps for leisure. One guy at my school topped the UNSW maths comp and almost topped the AMC. I dont really like excel i use fitzpatrick, lee, cambridge and coroneos.

My school uses Patel for 4-unit. But all the nerds in my grade have already done 4-unit Cambridge for fun. :( Everyone says it's quite good but use it with Terry Lee. The dux of ruse Lilly Zhang used cambridge 4-unit and fitzpatrick.

Cambridge is often too had and time comsuming so just to the development q's, unless your going to do 4-unit. Fitzpatrick is an excellent book do as many q's as you need to or can. Coronoes is hard like cambridge so dont get it. It depends if you find maths hard or difficult to understand...
