Standard will hurt your ATAR big time, i regret doing standard because it is going to hurt my HSC so much.Like my marks are around the 50s and 60s, i should stick with it huh...
Naww standard that bad...
Can we??KEEEP ITT! Im trying to go up for year 12 because of how shit standard aligns![]()
So true.People that say doing Standard will get you a better result is absolutely stupid out of all honesty. It is highly unlikely you will do any better in Standard then you do in Advanced since only ~0.1% receive Band 6 and 3% receive Band 5. The rest will receive Band 4 and below which is rather poor especially considering the scaling is also poorer. Doing Advanced, you have a much better chance or receiving Band 5 or 6 which also scaling better than a Band 5 or 6 in Standard. Bottom Line: Never take Standard English under any circumstances, if your school is forcing you to drop then bring it up to the Head Teacher, Principle and Board of Studies if the first to fail.
Once you move to standard you stay there unless you're performing exceptionally well or somethingCan we??
I managed to get 81% in standard and increased my bio mark from 74% (half yearlys) to 91% (trials)Lol that's one of the reasons i might drop to standard if im forced to. How did you go in your trials but?
Its all about ranks. Less than 5% of the state get a band 5 and above in standard, with only 64/32,000 people getting a band 6 in the subject last year. Standard is a poor subject to do, and unless your school forces you to do otherwise, you should stick with advanced. Standard is an ATAR killer in most circumstances.I managed to get 81% in standard and increased my bio mark from 74% (half yearlys) to 91% (trials)
All my other marks increased by about 5%ish but I was just stoked with all the extra study time I got to spend on Biology as it was one of my weakest subjects.
Of course, provided you attained good enough marks during the prelim yearCan we??
I raw mark like won't even get you a Band 5. Standard aligns worse than Advanced BY FAR and it also has weaker scaling (slightly).I managed to get 81% in standard
Er....don't Standard and Advanced scale the same?I raw mark like won't even get you a Band 5. Standard aligns worse than Advanced BY FAR and it also has weaker scaling (slightly).
