    Do Standard and Advanced English scale the same?

    What do you mean by "aligns poorer?"

    Do Standard and Advanced English scale the same?

    I'm doing Standard, and my friend was saying do Advanced because Standard scales really down....is that true?

    How do I get better at English?

    Someone told me that there is no difference between Standard and Advanced except that you study Shakespeare in Advanced. Is that true?

    Where to find past papers for Yr 11 Physics??

    How do I get better at English?

    I think you can go from Advanced to Standard but I don't think you are allowed to do the opposite. I am aiming an ATAR of at least 70, trying to be realistic. I will always do my best to get the highest ATAR possible but it not always possible.

    Do you learn it exactly like the syllabus states? Like this one for the premlin course. http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/syllabus_hsc/pdf_doc/physics_stg6_syl_03.pdf

    Do you do Physics? Is it easy? Are you in Year 11 or 12?

    How do I get better at English?

    Yeah, like Senior Science can't be studied with any other sciences. I think CAFS is pretty easy and sometimes you need to mix in some easy stuff, I regret picking Society and Culture; I don't think it is going to interest me, I hate how my school made us pick so early; I know schools that are...

    How do I get better at English?

    Yeah, I have been told to ignore the myth that "Do high scaling subjects to get an good ATAR." My cousin said that I should do Ext 1 Math, Advanced English, Chem, etc all subjects that I am not good at.

    How do I get better at English?

    Yeah, I know there is a lot of essay writing in Legal Studies and work, but the law interests me for some reason, so that's why I picked it.
  12. S

    How do I get better at English?

    Um, Mathematics, Physics, CAFS, Society and Culture, Legal Studies and Standard English. I might change it around a bit next year, don't know yet but that's what my choices were. Nothing too advanced.

    How do I get better at English?

    Yeah, I went through high school thinking that Year 11 AND 12 marks count towards the HSC, no one ever told me otherwise. I didn't find out the truth until I researched it for myself.

    How do I get better at English?

    I had an study skills thing at my school, and the organizer said that Year 11 is a LOT of work, like at least 3 hours a day and those that are really motivated it's like 4+ hours. I was like "WHAT?"! LOL

    How do I get better at English?

    I don't know the meaning of those terms.

    How do I get better at English?

    Btw, how much work is Year 11? About 2-3 hours a day, or more, or is that Year 12? I would think at least 2 hours a day should be sufficient enough? And Year 11 marks don't count towards the HSC, correct? Our school doesn't tell us all this.

    How do I get better at English?

    I think I can do okay in English if I try harder, I don't always try my best in tests so I don't always get good marks, but everytime I did, I have. But I always have trouble with concentrating and getting books out and studying because I have so many distractions (fb, music, youtube, etc)

    How do I get better at English?

    Are you in Year 12? I see you do English Advanced, and you felt the same way about English like I did in Year 10. How did you change your approach to it?

    How do I get better at English?

    My teacher said on my report that I have to be more consistent in my efforts. We had an speech assessment and a Poetry assessment; I got 8/20 on the speech and 7/15 on the Poetry assessment. I feel like English has become too heavily based on analyzing texts, which I am just not good at, because...

    How do I get better at English?

    I struggle with it a lot, I'm in Year 10 and I didn't know where to post this. I got an D on my half yearly report. I am taking Standard English next year which my teacher reccomended. I just feel like I am not meant for English; I just don't have the patience to read through a long text and...
