yeah i agree w most of these responses as a '24 grad. project for english through the terms wasnt super useful, class is interesting but tbh not worth it- its really cool as a one off thing just to look at how they discuss it, but not gamechnaging- but LEAPS are amazing. when u sign up for leaps...
i think english being compulsory is actually good. it teaches good expression and vocab, as well as coherent writing. i think stem kids go great in english adv, because advanced essays are so formulated.
yes. well in nsw anyway. chem is assumed, so you should probably do a bridging course over the holidays before your course, but its not a prerequisite (mandatory).
medify is better, but for decision making use the official site, its too easy on medify and they dont have all the types of questions. abstract is a bit easy on medify too, but varies. medify mocks are good, and realistic.
