English Standard vs Advanced (1 Viewer)

[dancingflute]

Hey fellow school students, I have a question regarding standard vs advanced - since I have not got amazing results in Advanced is a good thing to drop down in Standard. NB I hate English

 

[deswa1]

NO. The aligning in advanced is so much better than standard that even if you are just an average student, I would highly recommend keeping advanced. In you want figures, I think last year 13% or something got a B6 in advanced whilst about 0.1% got a B6 in standard. Obviously on the whole advanced students are probs more capable than standard but that doesn't account for such a large difference.

what deswa1 said, don't do standard. at all. ever. never. don't. regardless of how well you are or are not doing in advanced, you will score a better mark for performing the same way in advanced than for standard.

edit: sounded too harsh and it was not what i was trying to convey

Never choose to do Standard. If you are allowed to stick with Advanced, then you should keep it.

DO NOT DO STANDARD - YOU WILL REGRET IT.

It is ultimately an ATAR killer.

NEVER drop to standard, i've seen people doing it thinking they'd get really good marks in standard and instead I beat them and I was standard all the time. Like this guy that dropped down was getting 70s and 80s in advanced but thought he could get a 90 in standard if he dropped, but now only gets 70s in standard. (I even beat him lol). English advanced to English standard is a small drop, its not like 2U maths to General maths.

KEEP ADVANCED!

Last year 56 ( i think) standard students got a band 6 while over 3000 got band 6's in advanced english
DON'T DO THAT TO YOURSELF!!!

This - DONT DO STANDARD. It is the worst subject choice you can make.

Well it depends on your definition of 'not amazing' but as you can clearly see from every single other post, it'd be a terrible idea to drop to standard =) Just put your head down and work as hard as you can! Advanced > Standard

 

[starshine02]

Advanced isn't that much harder than standard so i think you should keep it

even though you hate english... it's a compulsory subject

So really, you have to ask yourself a few questions such as which is more interesting, and which is better, or which is easier... which is more beneficial

And I think if you weigh it all up - you'll probably find you're best off to stick with Advanced because it's pretty much the same thing as Standard content-learning-wise

It's that bad.

 

[lm199]

how come its not bad on atar calculators? i know they are not official but its still an estimate

 

[Leffife]

Buddy let me tell you something.... come closer -_- no a little more closer..... DO STANDARD ENGLISH BECAUSE ITS AWESOME!

lol it's up too you, but if you are aiming in the 90's range, don't do it. But if you are aiming in the 80's range and you're getting around pass mark, then go for standard.
Why? It's because it will require less effort but no big reward.

STANDARD WOO!
