    EEX2 - Short Story Idea..... comments/opinions?

    The philosophical aspect of your story sounds good, but I'd be very careful on using religion as the basis of your story. In matters of religion there are varying perceptions of what people consider the boundaries between religious criticism and religious hatred, and you won't know where the...

    English Extension 2 Research Help?

    I'm guessing here you mean for sources of fiction, as for non-fiction sources it would be pretty obvious to write notes or add notes to what you already have. If you're reading a lot of the same type of sources then the key is to focus on the textual features in each text that have influenced...

    Bored of Studies Trial Discussion Thread.

    Very nice exam. Based on a superficial reading it's definitely the most challenging exam I've seen so far. Kudos to you Carrot. Shall work on it tomorrow morning.

    English is stupid

    I love English, and I certainly don't find it "stupid" as has been said. But despite this, I don't think it should be compulsory. I appreciate that English develops critical thinking skills which are important in day to day life, but I feel that these skills are limited through the exploration...

    ATAR Estimate Please, All Overall Ranks

    Well there were 11 people in your school who got a Band 6 in Advanced English last year, so assuming your cohorts are of similar size and quality I'd guess you'd be around a high Band 4 or low Band 5 at the moment, which isn't too bad. Obviously the sciences seem to be your niche and fortunately...

    ATAR Estimate Please, All Overall Ranks

    Oops, my bad. I meant 91.65. Your Biology and Chemistry ranks are really good which is pushing your mark up. Realistically I don't see you getting below 90. I believe that most of the estimates here on the low side are on account of your English rank. I'm pretty sure that your school has a...

    Yeah, those ranks are quite good for such a high ranked school, you are well above 70. I'd say 93.65

    Atar estimate pleasee :)

    85.55 I can't really tell much from your course marks seeing as I don't know how hard/soft your school marks. Having said that, I would hazard a guess to say that raising your Chemistry and Biology marks up 5% would probably equate to an ATAR of 87 or 88. 90 is within reach but it will most...

    atar estimate

    You may have overestimated your school's rank, going by the performance of your last year's cohort. My estimate would be around 80.95. But if you feel your school is around 300 level than it should be a few points higher.

    ATAR Estimate :)

    I see no problem with making a precise estimate. It lies within your parameters does it not?

    ATAR Estimate

    I would have said 97.5, so yes, your estimate seems around right.

    Please Help :(

    Given the strength of your cohort I'd say 91.05, so yes, you're not far off your goal of 92. Your English mark is the main problem at the moment.

    ATAR Estimate :)

    If the quality of your cohort is the same as previous years, I would say 91.25.

    I might also add Dux of our school usually gets mid 99s, and about 50 or so students out of 310 get 90+.
