    Need subject selection help !!!!!

    I went to a non-selective school and my business class was mostly dropkicks as well but I was passionate about the subject and achieved good marks. My economics class had much higher standard of student but to be honest if you're in the top end it doesn't matter. If you're passionate about...

    business studies

    Re: bus stds To get a 90, not very. Business studies is a fairly easy subject however in order to gain top marks you have to be quite committed, know your content very well and have good literacy skills.

    Cad + kafa = 0 ?!?

    Simply the floating exchange rate. Essentially the BOP records every single supply and demand of the Australian dollar, and since it is a floating exchange rate, supply must meet demand at the equilibrium and equal 0. Thus all the demand is recorded as POSITIVE and supply is recorded as...

    Intergates paragraphs vs seperate

    There is no advantage in doing either, simply do which one you feel most confident with. My teacher was a Senior HSC marker for AOS and she said they did not care at the marking centre. I did separate and still received 14/15 and 15/15 internally and presumably high in the HSC.

    Should I study Law?

    For what you want to do, Law coupled with Arts would probably be your best bet, majoring in something like International Relations, Political Economy etc. or you could do Commerce/Law and major in Management, International Business, Industrial Relations/HR etc. I'd recommend you do Law plus...

    Tips on starting Yr 11

    For Business Studies get a binder with loose leaf paper and make acronyms for literally everything and write them on the relevant page of notes your writing out, e.g. if you're writing external influences notes have the acronym for it on the page, it will do amazing things for your memory. In...

    How many hours should I be studying?

    I found 2 hours on week days and 3-4 on weekends to be enough for me in year 11. If you're working effectively you probably don't need to study that much but I'm sure if you're that dedicated you'll do extremely well. Also I'd count tutoring as studying, but just out of curiosity is your...

    is it too late

    Well, your first internal assessments are likely weighted relatively low, so you should be able to make a come back even if you don't do great in them, however, this is providing that you work hard throughout the year. A 85 ATAR is reasonably achievable for most people even with a few stuff ups...

    Stationery/Organisation for Notes, Work and Sheets... (Year 11)

    Hi there, I finished the HSC last year and got 97 in Business using a binder which I found very useful in business because a good chunk of the work is notes, also in writing your notes, I recommend you make lots of acronyms and write them on the same page as you write your notes to remember...

    You do have a good point, but the History Project does count for the majority of course and the issues lies in many students have trouble with these long, major work like projects and having two similar may put on some pressure, again, it all depends on the student. Students who can smash the...

    Discovery Essay Thesis Help Please?

    A film as a related text is not necessarily a bad idea, in fact, it can be very useful in differentiating you from your peers, however, whilst I haven't seen the greatest showman I would recommend you do a film with a bit more credibility or even better, a classic. Doing a classic immediately...

    Should I drop History Extension?

    Hmmm, well you are doing two major works which you may find stressful, and as you have said, eliminate time for other subjects. However, exactly how weak are you at bio, is it only a few marks worse or is there a serious deviation, if it's significant then I'd recommend keep extension. Also, to...

    Stationery Advice

    I would even avoid grid books because in no hsc maths exam will you be given grid paper, its a small thing but if you get as used to/simulate exam conditions as much as possible it will be less stressful.
