Finished all my exams except for Eng Ext on Thursday... It is worth 0% though so that's a huge relief.

Yeah I don't go to no selective school. Yeah my teacher marked the people she thought would do the best on the night of and then told us the next morning... I actually lost my marks in a short response question on the agoge because it was asking for "feature of" and I read it wrong and wrote...

The essay question was to explain the political organisation of Sparta (for the Sparta section) and The impact of Changing Technologies on the interpretations at Pompeii and Herculaneum (Cities of Vesuvius)

So I did my Ancient History half-yearly yesterday and was told my marks by my teacher today. In the Half yearly I got 46/50 which I was pretty happy with, but I was wondering how people think I would go in the HSC based off of that. As of this assessment I have moved down into 4th ranking...

Well, of course you could always stand to try to improve your marks and rankings to try to get the best ATAR possible. However, as long as you do this it likely won't have a huge impact, especially in Physics since that technically would mean that in terms of assessment marks/percentage you are...

Don't worry. I assure you, I can.

Hey all, I was wondering what would be thought to be needed to achieve a State ranking in Food Technology? I know it changes each year but I was wondering as a general (especially since for Food Tech it is top 10 in the State) I am predicted to achieve State ranking by my school, which is...

True.

We haven't gotten our Jerseys yet. We probably won't get them until next term.

Just out of curiosity, have people gotten their Year 12 jerseys yet?

I would say Ancient is better, it is easier to get higher marks in but it comes down to interest. I do Ancient and we do Cities of Vesuvius (Core), Sparta up until the Battle of Leuctra, Fall of the Roman Republic & Julius Caesar as the personality. I find it pretty interesting but it comes...

Those environmental factors messing with your phenotype!

Just 15 minutes in the sun is enough to make me burn :'(

I feel you there, last week my school had a fire drill and everyone was giving me weird looks because I was using an umbrella to protect my pale skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

I'm sure becoming a hobo would be a viable lifestyle option for some... Not my cup of tea though.

Wow, Good luck.... Mine are in 5 weeks.

When does everyone do their Half-yearly's?

Hey all, I was wondering If I would be able to get an ATAR estimate? I'm worried as on average I tend to do exceptionally well but the ranking of my school isn't particularly high... Perhaps you could shed some light? 2015 School Ranking: Around 250 English Advanced: 1/32 English Extension 1...

Thanks for the help, I will definitely drop Maths. My School's career's adviser was a Maths teacher so her opinions on the matter were somewhat biased, so I'd like to thank everyone for all of the assistance in making this critical decision.

Yeah, I also picked up History Ext for Year 12. Alright, I'll drop Maths, I knew I could do it but I didn't know whether it would be a good decision, though I'm pretty sure I will just drop it, I really hate Maths, so I can't put the effort in like I do with my other subjects.
