1. True
2. Beating half the state in Adv English is kinda hard
3. Beating half the state in MX2 is pretty hard (srzly.. azns..)
4. I'm going to UOW too! What school do you attend?
I think if you're having trouble with a particular subject, tutoring would be necessary. If you really want a 99+ ATAR, then I think tutoring in at least English and another subject would be essential. James Ruse students have mandatory tutoring after school, plus their work environment, which...
What on earth for? Are you going to take the photos, go home, print it out, paste it in a blog scrapbook and write a caption saying "This is the exam that ruined my life" ?
Sigh. People keep thinking Physics and Chemistry have a lot of maths in them.
The syllabus was changed in 2001 from these subjects being maths based to now being content based.
In chemistry there's literally about 3 formulas to remember. Compared to 2U/3U maths, that's nothing.
For...
Year 11: Chem > Physics > Bio
Year 12: Physics > Bio > Chem
Chemistry is a fuckload of concept and content for Year 12. Bio's pure content, and physics is a somewhat interesting mix between concept and content.
Year 12 Physics: 15% maths, 85% content.
Year 12 Chemistry: 10% maths, 90% content.
I got 96 in my School Certificate for maths, and my report mark for year 12 2u maths was 90. If you keep it up, you'd need at least 92+ to do "well" in 2u year 12.
