We run on a similar system of 2 ipt lessons per week. My schools sends our prelim results to a stat guy in Sydney to estimate an atar so we don’t get to drop anything for the first 3-4 weeks. If I’m able to get the marks to get an offer to do extension 2 maths on line 4 (a different class) I...

I'm genuinely going to have to grind following this. My IPT teacher puts every single thing on stile and we don't get any notes for anything. 90% of my class has done nothing all year and we haven't had any system to follow or take any notes. We haven't got textbooks or anything and my teacher...

My previous year 11 MX1 was a take-home task and I recognised the letters in two questions from the Cambridge textbook (we use In Focus). One didn’t have an answer or worked solution but the other was a worked example and so I got full marks for the question.

I plan on going into engineering so I see how the extra effort may not be worth staying in advanced, but from what other people have said since more people get band 5's and 6's in advanced, and so it can be somewhat easier to get a higher band compared to standard. I understand what you mean by...

My mate in standard had a similar thing happen and like 1/4 were caught using ai, and 1/2 were accused or something. A bunch didn’t submit and a lot of them will probably drop to studies. Definitely more in favour of keeping advanced after reading a couple other comments.

Our first assessment was creating writing so it wasn’t really representative of skill or anything. I was accelerated for maths and English advanced last year but decided to repeat bc I wasn’t entirely happy with my results. I finished the year 4/10 with like 70% as an average mark. The...

Thanks for the reply. Was mainly focused on how I would be impacted by scaling which is the wrong mindset to go into it with. I’ll definitely need to talk to my teacher and do some thinking. Wasn’t sure whether adv was much of a “boost” to your atar compared to standard but if I have a higher...

Got my marks back for my second assessment which was a multimodal presentation in the form of a podcast about a novel we got to choose from a list. I ended up getting like 60% which felt fair for the effort I put in considering I hated the requirements of a task. I dropped from 26/118 to 61/110...

my first ext 1 assessment for this year, the lowest mark was 25%. The same kid got like 60 in advanced.

According to my teacher's scope and sequence for year 11, we were supposed to be most of the way through topic 3: Markets by the end of term 1. We spent a lot of time working on our assessment in class and I'm feeling really behind. Comparing my notes to the syllabus, we haven't even covered The...

I'll probably use the holidays to get ahead a bit and summarise content from term 1. Already made mindmaps for all the topics we covered in physics which seem to work well for me. I'll definitely get ahead in maths and will probably try to do the same for economics despite not having a textbook...

Up until year 11, I never really had to study. I was able to cruise through exams and assessments getting A's almost all the time but I moved to a larger school so there is a lot more competition. I want to study early in the year but it feels pointless doing past papers when I'm not coming up...
