Do the rankings continue in Year 12, or is it all reset? Currently cringing because I thought Year 12 would be a fresh start, but we apparently have 2 more weeks of Year 11/2017 subjects in term 4 before we start the HSC. -_-

Based on statistics, how well do these subjects scale? 1. English Advanced (can't drop, but heard it scales well) 2. English Ext. 1 3. Modern History 4. Ancient History 5. Biology 6. Music 2 7. Legal Studies I know you should pick subjects you enjoy, but I quite enjoy all my...

I started the year promising myself to consistently study all subjects, equally because I wanted to use Year 11 as a reflection of how I would go in Year 12. While I do know what to improve on (like writing a more sustained argument for English essays), my time management began to decline around...

Hi, Creative writing is my strength in English, but I suffer when it comes to analytical writing. I got 80% for the last two assignments in both English Advanced and Extension - they were both essays. I'm aiming for the best ATAR I can get, so a Band 5 isn't enough. It's weird how I...

It's an English Ext essay, and I got a mark of 80%, which is fair enough, but tbh not good enough since I'm aiming for a Band 6. Message me if you're interested/able to.

For example, would the people doing 12 units have an advantage over those doing 10, even if only 10 units are counted, since they see you're doing extra?

Like in English... is passive voice a massive no-no, or is it not as emphasised on as much?

I recall one teacher telling me at my old school, but my current has yet to say anything of it

At my school, those who've been ranking 1st or 2nd (it's almost always the same people) in their subjects say they never exercise... all they do is study. However, you get contradictory advice from others who say exercise is important and may help you concentrate better. So I'm wondering what...

1) How did you read your texts, particularly if they were novels? Some are pretty long and time-consuming, so did you read and picked up quotes + techniques along the way, or did you read it in general enjoyment before accumulating q&ts later? 2) How many times did you read your texts? 3) How...

Maybe not straight after, but give or take 6 months?

^ and include them in your essay, or is it redundant?

What tense would essay writing lean towards? I find that I start with present tense [Shakespeare uses the concept of...], but then I shift, [Actors in the Elizabethan era played... to highlight the concept of ...] What's the correct tense to stick with?

How do you succeed in them, particularly the Extension? What does Music Extension consist of? Thanks

I'm looking to pick up three extension subjects next year. Does this give me a higher chance of a better ATAR?

My school starts at the ridiculous time of 7:30 AM. I have to wake up at 6:40 to get ready, usually takes me 20 mins, then I have 18 mins to eat breakfast, but sometimes I can't even get breakfast in because it's so early. Then we leave at 7:18 because it usually takes us 12 mins to get to...

Year 7 - 9 were okay, the content was manageable to read over and over again in one sitting... Year 10 I bludged lol, although it seems like Year 11 has stepped way the hella up in terms of workload. I end up with 50 + pages of notes for two topics (this is for the Humanities-based subjects)...

HEY GUYS, I have an exam in 2 days and I just quickly powered through my note-making yesterday. So for today and tomorrow, I'm gonna revise my notes like hell... Does this sort of semi-cramming work? How many days was the latest you studied? Did you still get a good mark?
