    Serious Help Picking Subjects

    Modern scales better than Chem >93. For 99.4 you'll need 93. Pick Modern.

    Subject Advice

    Basically Stormey wants to drop to General and has made up his mind that he will. He doesn't need any more advice. Also Re: Standard English, that's a cap of 95 before scaling, or 93 after scaling. That's still very harsh. And Stormey isn't coming 1st in the state for Standard English...

    Is there any way of getting 95+ with these subjects?

    Business. 3U English gives you like a backup unit to halve a crappy 2U mark if required, plus Business scales like garbage.

    How will you commute to UNSW?

    He has to fucking fly a plane. That requires a lot of stuff (suit, helmet, pack, etc).

    Is there any way of getting 95+ with these subjects?

    I did identical subjects (-business, and now Ext2 Maths in Year 12). I'm pretty sure I'm going to get >99. It's not very hard with those subjects (I'm averaging low - mid 90s in order to pull a mid 99, but with >85 in everything it is not hard to foresee a 95).

    Scale Down?

    Mate that is outstandingly better. Not only is it easier to get 86 in 2U due to having less of the state to beat, the scaling gives you 6 more marks. That's huge.

    Subject Advice

    Are you really that bad at Maths? Are you really truly that bad at Maths that putting a bit more effort into 2U will drag your other subjects down? Well General will drag you down fiuther. Here's a tip, rather than doing 1 hour a night of study/homework (it's all the same to me), why not do 2...

    Subject Advice

    Mate that is IFUCKINGSPLICER you are talking to. He is definitely going to get 99 ATAR minimum, and I can guarantee he will get 90+ in Ext 2 Maths. You can't scale a 0 to 90, but you can scale a 70/120 to a 90/100 for Ext Maths. If after a year of solid effort in Ext 2 Maths you can't get 70/120...

    Scale Down?

    CHRIST WHY THE FUCK DONT PEOPLE FUCKING READ THREADS FIRST BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS General will always scale down. Even if you get 100%, it will scale down. It will scale down to 91 if you get 100. If you get 90, it will scale down to 70 easily, if you get 80, it will scale down to like 50...

    Hyperventilation

    Which music did you use, Music 1 or Music 2? Because Music 2 scales far better than any other 2U course. But Year 11 is not a time ti start stressing. It's a time to get your shit together and remove any weaklinks in your subjects. If you still have weaklinks after Year 11, drop them.

    15 units, What subject/s should i drop?

    Uh you guys do realise Modern scales better than Bio and depending on your marks, better than Phys and Chem? That said, drop your worst 2.

    Yet another set of raw marks...

    The Cosmo kids in my school told me that nobody had 100% Raw. Weird. The other marks are pretty solid though the aligning is ridiculous especially for Chem. 76->91.8 WTF? And then you're in the top 300 in the state WTF? Nice Music mark though. What were your final aligned marks?

    It's more difficult by the advent of substitutions in Intgration (differentiation is practically nonexistant past Year 11 except as a basic tool like adding/subtracting). Basically you can't integrate straight away, you have to change the form and fiddle with it till you get something that...

    Most WANTED and Most HATED subject!

    Sketching graphs is nothing. Draw a cartesian plane, find the points/necessary information, put them on and join the dots. Calculus in 2U does not get very detailed. It's simply differentiation and integration, and there's basic techniques of doing them. The types of questions you get wont be...

    Most WANTED and Most HATED subject!

    WHY AM I JUST YASH NOW WHERE HAS THE MYSTERY GONE? Also there are no calculus techniques in 2 Unit. It's just a bunch of straightfoward formulas (I'm 100% serious here). I would have loved Science Fiction, I've read every book out of my own interest on the reading list. I despise Navigating...
