Sorry about the typo. I mean to say 'you won't have the option of doing History Extension UNTIL next year.'

I reckon you should give Extension english a try. Ask the teacher if he/she could tell you the topic you are going to be doing in yr 12. If you don't like it, drop it next year and take up some other extension. That's what I am doing. Our teacher told us we are doing Crime Writing next year, so...

yeh same, but our book is so boring and bland doing 3 pages feels like doing 10 XD

OMG you serious? o_O Speeches are my nightmare and the reason I missed out for the top spot in English last yr. I just...can't do them well. Hopefully there will be none in EE1 for us, have my first lesson tomorrow :)

Here is my advice...pick Advanced. If you want to get the best ATAR possible, Advanced is the one to do. Getting a band 6 in Standard is very hard. To give you an idea... I heard about 50 people got band 6 in Standard last year, in the Advanced course this number was well into the thousands. In...

At my school we get 5 periods per day that last for 1 hr. That seems to be the most common combo. I get free periods this yr because I am doing 2 extension subjects which are obviously off line, therefore I have a spare line and still have enough units. Some get free periods because they are...

Got Brave New World to read for English...soo good in my opinion. Anyone else have it (or had it before)?? 11 free periods :o OMG so lucky!! At my school people are jealous coz I am one of the few that gets free (ahem 'study') periods and I have 8 a fortnight....wonder if anyone on here will...

So what do you guys think of the new school year? Was your first day exactly how you expected it to be? Share your thoughts here... I am making this thread in my free period (called 'study period' now but there is obviously nothing to study now) and lovin' the fact that the BoS forums are no...

In regards to study: not much to say but.... he topic of the thread is the EXACT question I had. I will be keeping a close eye on this thread for the time being :)

Go Rapha!!

Another thing. How do you effectively study for humanities subjects? Such as Ancient History. And how much time should be devoted to them??

I studied about 1-2 hrs a day of Maths these holidays and will start the others after the new school year. Except for maths I have no idea how to DO the study. Do I just write and read notes? Do practice papers? For English I usually do phantom essays (essays responding to a made up questions)...

Thanks! https://smh.digitaleditions.com.au/smartpass/index.php <- How do I access the 'HSC Study Guide and More" part??

Ahhh so that's why last year's yr 11 adviser complained about MX1 marks when we were chatting on the last day! She was honestly saying "Why do people even bother doing it if they don't even understand the concepts, let alone able to apply those concepts to a problem!" Well hopefully the our...

Just to the people saying MX1 is hard, it's really not that bad. I managed to pre-study three topics without (too much) sweat and tears. Trigonometry annoys me at times because there are just so many formulas and rules to remember, and I make dumb mistakes when differentiating a question where...

In a way I am looking forward to it, but not entirely sure what to expect. Already got my books, uniform and stationery and pre-studied Calculus, Circle Geometry and Trig...maths is kinda my worst subject, but I like it anyway. Also, I absolutely LOVE the idea of a study group! I certainly need...

Wow he must be really smart!! Well done to him! However, I still think accelerating makes things easier in a way, you pretty much need concentrate on just the one subject.

At my school, I don't recall the 2011 mark but in 2010 the dux was a Chinese girl with a 94.8 ATAR. Still good but its a very mediocre result in comparison to the ones on here. btw when I first heard the term 'dux' I had just come to Australia and knew very little English so you can imagine my...

Not yet, they are quite long. I will complete them later when I have time

I really liked the Cerebrals IQ testing, thanks for the link! Chose to do I AM A WORD, and apparently my verbal IQ is 148. I hope it is accurate...
