Re: Pressure From Parents My mum doesn't care what I do, as long as I do alright (pass, etc) and work hard (ish). She cares more about being polite to teachers/having a good reputation in school/dressing smartly and that, than grades and ranks. Which means that every morning before school I...

I do it, and it really hasn't taken up all that much time. You have heaps of time to do it, so it's not like all your time gets taken up, unless you really want to do it in the minimum time. I started in year 10 (Bronze) and am about halfway through my last bit (6 months skill). I just did...

Maths - 1st in at least one of them, top 5 acceptable English - top 5? 10? 1? it varies all the time Chemistry - top 2 or 3, although 1 is achievable, methinks Physics - top 2 or 3 biology - top...top...oh, I just hope I pass

Haha, good luck with that then. If you really pushed yourself, why not try for 2 days?

Oh, thanks :) Maybe I'd do that then. SDD then. Oh well, it's a moot point really, since I'm not in NSW and I don't think we even have such a subject. Still, nothing wrong with dreaming!

yeah, that. I don't know the specifics of what each of the NSW computer-ish subjects are. What's the difference between them all?

Okay...but in Queensland we don't have scaling as such, so it doesn't matter...but maybe IT wouldn't be good. What is that other subject you have, the SDD one? What's that? Maybe that would be more fun?

Yeah, but if you are doing it because a teacher is making you, then you don't really bother doing it properly, and you treat it as "just another thing the teacher wants me to waste my time on" rather than legitimate study in itself, so you just go copy the answers and do it as fast as possible...

Cool. Thanks for that then :) Just to clarify...2U = normal maths, 3U = ext 1 and 4U = ext 2? I think?

I'd pick up IT...or Legal Studies...or German (or whatever the subjects were called) IT because I love messing around on the computer and would like to learn more about it properly, and for grades Legal because it sounds really interesting and a few of my friends do it and enjoy it a lot...

It seems to me that you should just do exactly as you did for physics...just...with chemistry...since you did that in 4 days It shouldn't be too hard if you are just aiming to get the concepts rather than doing exercises over and over again to get it perfect...if you're not studying directly...

Best - Maths C (equivalent to some kind of extension maths??) - super fun and interesting, and the teacher is great, and I'm coming 1st or 2nd in it Worst - Biology or Physics, depending on the topics... our next physics topic looks interesting, but on the other hand we've been doing lots of...

Maths A from what I have read seems to be similar to your general maths? I think? They do stuff like managing finances and simple trig stuff, maths that is relevant to daily life. Maths B is what most people do. I'm doing it accelerated and last year it was stuff like more advanced trig...

I'm actually from Queensland, but hey, year 11 is year 11... My subjects: English Chemistry Physics Biology Maths B and Maths C - and I have no idea what the NSW equivalents are, they seem to be totally different...
