    Is Advance English WAY Harder than Standard English

    Is Advance English WAY Harder than Standard English

    LOL Tess is a piss easy text albeit boring. I never read it. Standard is same level of difficulty as Advanced, however to do well in Standard is much much HARDER than Advanced.

    lol why should you care what question the problem is located in? It should have no bearing on the rest of the exam. I don't even think about it, I just do the paper.

    Yes and Yes. Ask Tommykins he got 79 in Adv English (scales the same at the same aligned mark as Standard) and ended up with 95.65. That said he really hammered all his other subjects.

    Is it true that Standad English is harder to get a band 5 in?

    Yes it is harder. It's precisely because it's easier that getting a Band 6 is so much harder. You see, your raw mark gets aligned into bands based on your relative rank across the state. This is basically top xxx people get Band 6, next xxxx people get Band 5, and so on. The marks are...

    Is it worth dropping these subjects?

    Complete not bullshit. Raw 100 = Report Mark 100 which gets SCALED AGAIN to a 91. So yes they do change perfect scores. Go check http://www.uac.edu.au/documents/atar/2009_table_A3.pdf Scales down to 90.6. Check that entire list. There's multiple cases of a 50.0 (aka 100) scaling down. A lot...
