Hi all,
I've been constantly thinking about whether or not I should be doing Standard or Advanced English, here is what you need to know:
- Since Primary, I have been extremely good at reading, writing, comprehension and spelling
- For Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 I've been scoring the second highest-highest bands for each english part tested
- I've been in the top English Advanced classes since Years 8-10
- I've been scoring B's every year (eek!) (pretty much the majority of Advanced students have)
My opinions are:
Advanced:
Pros:
- I've been working so hard since Kindergarten to be where I am now, so why not collect the fruits of my labour?
- Higher scaling
- I'd put a bit more effort in to score a high band 5 or band 6
Cons:
- It'd be a bit hard to score a 90 since there's a lot of competition within the grade and in the state
Standard:
Pros:
- I'd be getting a high score for this level of English
- High rank in the grade
- Somewhat easier content (?)
Cons:
- I have worked hard to be this good in English and I end up doing a low level of English (seems a bit disheartening and embarrassing)
- Low scaling
- Less challenging and stimulating
