Okay so here is the roll call/discussion thread for prelim year 2010.
In you posts describe your subjects, aims and anything else regarding the prelim hsc.

ur turn

Hello everyone, my name is Matt ^__^

Still unsure with my subjects, but at the moment is seems like:

- English Advanced
- Maths Advanced
- Economics
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Japanese (B) or Studies of Religion II

I want to be in the top 10% in all my subjects.
Of course, I'd like to say that I want to be the first in all my subjects, but there are 450+ students in my grade, so I'll try start at a smaller goal.
Ehhhhh.


ATAR Aim: 95+ (eep.)

*** Good luck to the class of 2011! Our turn to shine will come soon. ***

Wow I just realised I have the same name as Ipodnano~ so yup, my name's Stephanie as well and the subjects I'll be taking next year are:

- Maths Ext.1
- Eng Ext. 1
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Music 2

My goals are hopefully (if possible at all) to come either 1st, 2nd or 3rd in every subject but that's gonna be tough because there's sooooo many smart people at Ruse - but nevertheless I'm gonna give it my all and do my best~~

And as for year 12, well I'm not sure but I want to take up maths and english ext. 2 but I don't know if I'll be able to cope with it so any advice guys?

Hello my name is Brenton.

My subjects are in my sig. Maths extension 1 is just a bit of a trial to be honest, depending how i go in the first month or so decides whether i keep it or not. If i do well however, i will take up 4unit if i think i could do good in it.

I will be attempting to do all these subjects in HSC, but if i take up 4unit and i think theres a bit too much work i may drop a subject or two. Unsure of which though.

If i enjoy Software Design and put enough effort into it, im sure its possible I could get state ranking with enough work. That depends on how much i enjoy the subject though. (i really like programming and computers, but am unsure about if i will like the course work and the programming language we have to do in year 12)

I have heard very good things about the teacher I will have for economics and I am interested in the subject, so i might do well there aswell. Doubt state rankings, but still good.

Currently i do not study at all, unless there is a test the next day. I plan to change this next year and study quite a bit every day and get a tutor.

I would be happy with an ATAR of 90, but am aiming for 95+.

Ext 1 English -Am looking forward to this, want to do well
Ext 1 Maths- I never used to like math, but it got WAY better in years 9 and 10.
Ancient History-
Modern History- I want to do really well in both the histories as i eventually want to end up in an English university researching and doing library work.
Music 1- As a release subject for Year 11, then hopefully dropping it and doing Ext History.
I am really going to have to get way more organised with study.
Can't wait for yr 11 but, especially Modern

ATAR aim: 88+, higher would be nice, but i 'm a realist (I think it's about 83 for a BA of Arts, which is what I want to do, majoring in English and History)

 

[xMaFF]

Hey yall.

I would just like to raise discussion on whether it is possible to achieve a 95+ (or even perhaps a 99+) ATAR without doing any EXTENSION courses.

What do you think? Is it possible?

 

[occer]

Of course it's possible.

 

[xMaFF]

Of course it's possible.

Whew. That's good to hear. C:

 

[Oladele]

Math Ext., Math, Adv. English, Business Studies, Ancient and Modern History, Japanese Beginners
:/

I probably made some bad decisions.. but I will try my best to be ranked #1 in all of them

ATAR aim: 96+ (Pretty difficult! Considering I don't go to a selective school AND my school is not in the top 200 )

 

[xMaFF]

Math Ext., Math, Adv. English, Business Studies, Ancient and Modern History, Japanese Beginners
:/

I probably made some bad decisions.. but I will try my best to be ranked #1 in all of them

ATAR aim: 96+ (Oh mangz!)

*Hi-5* for Japanese beginners, lol !

Not too sure it will contribute well scaling-wise but I'm sure that it will be a good release.
Any comments / suggestions in regards to this subject (or changing it, even perhaps) is welcomed as I'm sorting out my subs.

I'll be aiming around your ATAR mark too! Gambatte! xD

 

[Oladele]

Um I'm probably not gonna keep it.
However I do enjoy my fair share of anime

Also I'm wondering if doing both Math Ext 1 and History Ext. is a good idea for Yr 12?

And is an ATAR of 96+ even possible for someone like me? Who is not in a Top 200 school and probably won't get DUX of his year?

 

[occer]

How did you go in the SC?

It's not really that great of an indicator but meh.

 

[santiii]

My subjects are in my sig. I really want to top my year for Economics, Society and Culture and Accounting (even though my class has like 6 people in it ). Also, to get high in my other classes.

I'm going to wait and see how I go next year before I decide what class to drop (if I do) for HSC.

I definitely want an ATAR above 90, but I'd be much happier with 95+

 

[santiii]

I am hoping to get the TAFE course done in 1 year (as you sit the major exam at the end of year 11 and can do the rest of the course over X-mas) and then drop PDHPE. I will then only have 8 units to concentrate on.

Hey I'm doing Accounting as well and do you know where I can go to find out about doing the rest of Christmas because that would relive a lot of stress HSC year. Which TAFE are you doing yours at?

Lol, all I can say if you're doing Japanese beginners is that you'll find the subject really really easy if you have a super duper keen interest in Japanese. I remember when I first took up japanese in year 8 and I found the stuff that we learnt throughout that year to be really easy because I was hooked into japanese stuff then and so I found everything interesting and easy to learn. But then after that in years 9 and 10, I found that I was starting to hate Japanese and dreaded Japanese lessons... but I'm sure you'll do fine in this because as I said you probably do have a keen interest in Japanese so you'll find it easy~ Don't worry and yes, gambatte to you~
