Drawing graphs isn't necessary in an eco essay, but you still need to know it as it pops up often in short answers and multiple choice. Has your teacher been able to clearly explain how those graphs work?

Since your school doesn't have a regular history of people doing 4u, I wouldn't recommend doing it. If you're keen and are willing to devote a lot of time studying it, then by all means try it out. You could always drop it later on.

I'm sure you can start fresh on all of them and patch up a few prelim stuff if necessary along the way. You can't really start fresh for languages and maths though. What's holding you down in eco? Multichoice, short answers, essays, understanding the content, etc?

It is possible to get 99.95 doing standard english (don't think that will ever happen), but either you come first in it and/or state rank your other subjects. That being said, standard english is a bottleneck to your atar.

The sections from the markets and labour market topics appears frequently across the hsc content. The last topic is expanded later on so you need to know that, things like the budget and role of the govt. On top of that you have to know your basic concepts (supply & demand, interest rates...

Do you go to a selective school?

Bumping, I want to know as well. Doesn't unsw have a questionnaire for people to do before they enrol in a language course to determine the most suitable level? Maybe you could feign ignorance so to be placed in the introductory/beginner course, does anyone else know if this works?

I know a few people who did that, though towards the end they all dropped one or the other. Just doing 10 units with ext2 eng/math is risky unless you're really competent, and three subjects is really limiting yourself - what if you decide to drop a subject or two? Do you love english and maths...

Once the board releases our results, it will show our moderated internal mark and the external exam mark averaged to give the final hsc mark. I think the school is given that final hsc mark, but how much will they know? Will they also be able to see our external marks, both raw and moderated?

I didn't do jap in years 9-10 but chose to do continuers last year. I don't think it's a hard course. Everything is prescribed and how time consuming it will be is entirely up to you. If you regularly revise you should be all set, and you can't really cram for jap the night before an exam like...

ATAR calculators seem quite accurate but those stats you mentioned are dodgy, which one did you use? EDIT: The scaling seemed off for music 2 until I checked the uac report. Actually, a hsc mark of 90 in music scales the worst than a 90 in those other aforementioned subjects. However the...

According to last year it would go: maths ext1 > english ext1 > eco ≈ chem > legal Although last year the average scaled mark for eco was slightly higher than chem, if you were in the top 25% of chem your marks scaled higher than those who were in the top 25% of eco.

Your units and subject count meets the board's requirement. Maybe your school wants you to pick up another subject as you might get a lot of free periods, or they want to play it safe incase you decide to drop some later on, but you don't need to take 14 units. Those 12 units are already a...
