    Band 6 and scaling...

    Depends what you get band six for. E.g. if you get a band six in DAT, that'll be really different to band six in MX2. Guess it's the nature of the game :S

    Modern History arab-israeli conflict

    I don't think it's a topic many schools do, so you're better off making your own.

    should i do ext 2!?!?!

    Wow, you're doing really well! Keep it up. With those marks, you will probably be an E4er for ext 2 maths. :)

    Does anyone do EXTREMELY WELL in 4Umaths without a tutor?

    Yeah, you can do great without tutoring. The guy who came sixth in the state for 4U at my school two years ago received 0 tutoring and worked really hard to get his 98/100.

    4U Maths

    You're doing really well in maths. I think you should do 4U.

    Crucible English?

    Well, yeah, what Lucid said. Arthur Miller married Marilyn Monroe, btw. That's interesting. The Church does indeed hold most of the power within the play. But there are more - for example you could talk about the power of sexuality, where Abigail manipulates John Proctor; or the power which...

    creative writing

    You're into sci-fi? I think that's one of the hardest genres to write because it's not to everyone's taste (though no genre is...) and it's hard to have a plausible storyline happening without the story itself being a total load of robot-killing dross. The best sci-fi tends to be...

    HEADACHE on subject selection T_T

    Hey L.L. I'm L.U. Hahaha. Don't type out our names though. School teachers spy on us. Anyway, to the threadstarter: It is my firm belief that you should do the level of English you are capable of. Every one is different and circumstances are different also, but seeing as you've only been...

    HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - thoughts (SPOILERS!!)

    Still, Albus Severus. What was JKR taking?! And the epilogue was so short. :'( Much too short. We never got to know what happened to McGonagall, Luna, Dean, Hagrid, Grawp... And omgosh Molly Weasley has 1337 duelling skills! Loved that, but really Bellatrix should have been left for Neville.

    HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - thoughts (SPOILERS!!)

    LOLOL. Albus Severus. The epilogue wouldn't have been so corny if that name wasn't there. But it was. Funnily enough ever since HP&PS I had this faith in Snape. I had guessed that he was the HBP and by virtue of the anagram "SEVERUS SNAPE --> PURSUES EVANS" I always knew that Severus...

    HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - thoughts (SPOILERS!!)

    Aw thanks Malfoy. I was surprised that Malfoy didn't really have any role to play in the book, except an indirect one when the Elder Wand was choosing whom to obey. (I told my friend that Malfoy would die, because she loves Tom Felton. I told her - Tom Felton =/= Malfoy! She shook her head...

    HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - thoughts (SPOILERS!!)

    Well, it would have been a pretty good duel between Snape and Voldemort in any case. I don't think it would have been a childish thing to do, for Snape to reveal himself to Voldemort, no. I think that it would have been a far more accurate representation of the Snape we know now, the Snape we...

    HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - thoughts (SPOILERS!!)

    I think a large reason why many of us did not enjoy the book as much as we had wanted, is the fact that Harry and the trio did not return to Hogwarts. Hogwarts, which oiled the cogs and set the wheels in motion. Where they could gather insider information and we could see where JKR's direction...

    HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - thoughts (SPOILERS!!)

    ^ I AGREE WITH THE ABOVE. I'm such a Potter fan and I was so ... disappointed. (I was crying when Dobby died. Poor thing.) And bloody hell so many loose ends were left UNTIED! Longbottom never got to kill Bellatrix. His part of the prophecy and why he wasn't chosen remains a mystery...

    Extension English Students- how many hours?

    That must mean that you guys have finished quickly, though I still have qualms about schools finishing earlier than others. It's pretty much unfair and teachers know that this is against the rules.
