As far as I'm aware, the English Advanced units are always counted, even if they're not your best units. They take the units from Advanced before your extra unit from Extension, even if Extension is best. If you want to double check though, the best people to ask would be your teachers (or you...

Initially a few hours a day, but it depends on your subjects and how you learn. For example, you can get so much more out of your study/have more time to study if you listen to lectures/podcasts on your topics OR if you read out past essays or chapters from study guides and record it via...

You will get the same question, but be asked to respond to it with your different texts.

Have a look at some past HSC papers for each subject, and maybe ask your teacher for a list of the topics you'll cover in each. It might help you to make a decision.

I would consider not adding English extension 2. It adds way too much to your already heavy workload, and isn't likely to give you any real benefit. This is coming from someone who got the top band in English Extension 2. In your case I'd say it seems like it's more work than it's worth.

^ I don't think it makes it fair - many students come to the HSC without the skills to write good essays. They are disadvantaged because they fell through the cracks in the education system, and to refuse to assist them by reading over essays (and it is the teachers job to facilitate ALL...

It's best not to use "I" statements in essays; the people who got high marks in their HSC responses who used the personal pronoun probably got high marks in spite of that. They must have developed an insightful, well-structured argument.

Quality writing gets you the marks, not subtlety alone. Yes, it's important to try and be more subtle (we hate cliche story lines!), but it still needs to be clear that it's a belonging story. So first, ask yourself the following questions: What message do I want to convey about belonging? How...

Re: Is it ok to move up to Advanced english After the school Exams on AOS during term If you're able to do it, move up - the AOS is the same for Standard and Advanced, so you won't be disadvantaged,* and Advanced scales up so it's more beneficial if you're able to handle the course requirements...

Yes, most teachers should be happy enough to look at it and give feedback, and it's really a good idea. Every assessment contributes to your HSC mark, and you want to do as well as you possibly can. If they aren't willing you can get online HSC editing services to have a look at it for you (like...

Hi guys, I am an experienced preliminary and HSC tutor who provides tutoring in the Newcastle and Maitland areas. I tutor Standard, Advanced and Extension English, Ancient, Modern and Extension History and other essay-based subjects upon application.* I am in my final year of a teaching...

I don't think so. HSC markers are just teachers who are willing to get paid a little more to mark. Why would it be illegal? They can't give any hints about the contents of the papers, so such a rule would make absolutely no sense.

Hi, I'm not sure about the ATAR estimate, but just so you know, there are other options to get into the degree of your choice if you don't get the ATAR you want. you can do a similar degree with a lower ATAR entrance requirement and take all subjects related to the degree you actually wanted...

Considering Hitler was all for killing homosexuals, I highly doubt they were gay. Hitler's statement about loving Speer was not a statement of romantic love, but love and respect for a friend - I'm fairly sure it was said in response to someone who claimed Hitler should think twice about...
