Thinking I'll drop physics and pick up either MX2 or EX2... or both lel. I hate physics.

Won't need to worry about rankings, no, but make damn sure you do well in the external exam. Some guy was in a 1 on 1 class for Music 2 at my school a few years ago. Did great internally for the whole year, then flunked the HSC exam. Board of Studies absolutely fed him.

I'm in year 11 currently, but I'm wondering if this includes using texts from EE1 as your prescribed text? For example, are we permitted to use Plath's Ariel as a related text even though it is a prescribed text in the Extension 1 course?

Sorry.

Hell yesssss 24/25 in my English Ext. 1 essay! Dat rank.

One guy dropped out of physics and picked up legal. Two dropped out of Maths Ext 1. Everyone loves English Ext 1. In fact, we've gained two students since we started.

I don't really know how difficult it is to get whatever ATAR, but I'd like 95+ just because it's kind of prestigious.

3U Maths > Ext. 1 English >>> Chemistry = Economics >>> English Advanced >>>>> Physics for me. I thought physics would be really maths oriented. I was wrong.

It depends what you consider to be decent, but yes it's possible, 95 in anything won't get scaled down too dramatically.

I think this is true. In Advanced, my lexical choice is usually fairly regular, as we get destroyed if we're trying to be too 'showpony.' In my EX1 class, however, those who don't use sophisticated language seem stupid compared with everyone else.

Based on what you've said there, you only do 11 units, so you wouldn't qualify to finish the prelim course, which is a requirement to sit the HSC. Correct me if I'm wrong though. But yes, the subjects (minus IT) scale okay and you are definitely capable of a decent atar if you excel in all of...

Eng Adv - Finished Moral Dilemmas AOS, on to Othello Eng XTN 1 - Colonial + Post-colonial discourse (Heart of Darkness) - had an essay yesterday. Maths 3U - Pretty much the same as you, graphing functions. Polynomials too. Economics - I wouldn't have a clue, the class moves so slowly, probably...

Maths Extension 1 is quite good. All the formulae very condensed and some (reasonably) challenging questions on each syllabus point. I haven't found MX1 enough of a challenge to need it yet though.

I beg your pardon?

8- Midsummer Night's Dream (bleh) 9- Macbeth 10- Romeo and Juliet 11- Othello 12 - Romulus, My Father for belonging and either Henry IV or Julius Caesar for Shakespeare unit.

Just remembered that Aboriginal literature unit we had to do in year 8. "The Girl With No Name" was actually putrid. I'm all for novels about heritage etc. but it'd be nice if the author could write.

If they had to pick a song, you'd think they'd at least pick one with some depth.

Doesn't it depend on the difficulty of the test as well though? Like, if the standard deviation is high and the top mark is 30/40 I'm sure that 30 will come close to an A.

That particular one sounds like a fiery, fiery hell.

You forgot the Shining! I'll add Pan's Labyrinth, Magnolia, Pulp Fiction (bit cliche I guess but it's undeniably good) and Blue Velvet. edit: +Silence of the Lambs, Psycho. Love cult horrors/thrillers.
