    macbook pro or macbook air?

    I am going to take a Netbook to Uni and have a MacBook Pro at home. I had a MacBook air, but it was laggy and I did not like it.

    What to do in those first 10 minutes reading time.

    Obviously I read all the questions for my electives, then I see which one I am most comfortable with and start planning that out in my head. I do not attempt to plan out the other's, but I know what I am going to be discussing and I analyse what the question is asking me as well. I also try to...

    How hard is it to get a 90+ mark in English?

    Pre-planned essays will only get you a ~17 at most if you do not answer the question. Best advice I can give you is to practice your prepared essay in a time limit (say 40 mins) to a question. Try to adapt your essay to answer the question. You might have excellent content and analysis, but your...

    Drop to standard english??

    It's hard to top standard, sure you can get a band 5 with hard work, but getting than band 6 in standard is practically impossible. I think you should stick with English Advanced, with hard work, a band 4 in English Advanced would be better than a band 5 in English Standard. Since 2 units of...

    anyone looking for a state rank?

    Hmm. English Advanced and English Extension I would be nice. I'm aiming for 98+ in Ancient History so I guess that'd be in the top 10 of the state? Legal Studies would be nice to get, but it's the first year of the syllabus, so I'll see how i go :P I did SOR I last yr and got...

    what do you need for a band 6 in english

    My teacher told me 82/105. But I seriously doubt that. Aim for 90+/105 to be on the safe side.
  13. alstah

    atar estimate pleasee! 98+ ?

    Definite shot at getting over 95. But I'm not too sure about 98+ because you are ranked 17th in English and your school is between 90-100. I think 96.5-97

    Lol yeah my teacher's notes are awesome lol. I spend a lot of time on Ancient, I've been doing Hatshepsut for like 2 weeks now, I've been so lazy lol. I need to start Augustus and Pompeii.

  16. alstah

    is 12 days enough to memorise 4 esays?

    Yeah 12 days is enough to memorise 4 essays and a creative. I would say 2 days per essay and then try some past practice questions and make sure you time the responses.

    Lol don't worry about repaying me lmao. I gave it to you because I wanted to help :P. The notes aren't mine (except for the Hatshepsut plans, P+H 10 marker plans and Sparta notes). Mostly the notes are the ones my teacher made, so yeah :P
