The Geography/History marks were out of 50, so let's say you got a mark of 80 does that mean for the actual raw mark for the exam you got 40/50???

My school is getting our results back on Thursday which is our Year 10 Graduation Day.

In terms of workload, assignments, exams...? Big step up from Yr 10 or is it just over exaggerated? Thanks.

I absolutely hate Biology/the Human Body. I chose PE as one of my subjects next year, do you think I will struggle in it? Thanks.

When I told my English head teacher that few people get Band 6's in Standard, she says like "It's not like that anymore." Seriously, how do you argue with someone who won't even acknowledge it?

I don't really know my ability in English, because I haven't tried properly this year, and I already selected Advanced, but I doubt I will get in. I have heard so much stuff about how poorly Standard English aligns. I have heard that only 5% of the state get Band 5 or above, with the rest 95%...

I picked 2 unit maths, but I think I am probably going to drop down.

Yeah, Anh Do is a man. I wrote 2 pages for the creative. Also, it didn't really specifify a "short story." It just said an "imaginative peice of writing." Mine was more like a diary entry; like a reflection.

Also, what did you guys write about that letter thingy to the principal about that character's hardships. I wrote about how admirable it was about she dealt with her family problems the way she did, and how it is important to hear her in a school full of those values, and the rest was BS.

I wrote about a woman who drank and drive and killed her sister in law, and her family hated her when they found. So, she was all alone and I wrote about how she reflected on the good times she had with her family before they left her.

Flicking through past papers, doing the multiple choice, not bothered doing anything for the writing bit. I just come up with any BS on the spot.

I don't know...I'm just starting to get a bit nervous. Does it matter at all if you're going on to Year 11? Could they ask for it at TAFE or at any other job?? I don't plan to go to TAFE, but it could happen if everything falls apart in 2 years. I haven't done any study, at all.

It's too late now. The year is almost done, reports are being done, marks and grades are being finalized. The only thing left is the SC on Monday.

But my school has this rule that only the top 60 people in the grade can do Advanced. It's not in my hands. Just how badly will doing Standard affect my ATAR?

Ok, but if one sucks at English, it does not really help in Advanced...?

But what can I do if the school doesn't have the capacity; my school says they can only have the top 60 people in the grade do Advanced, and the rest do Standard, therefore I am not eligible. My rank is like 123. What's the difference between Advanced & Standard anyway? Why do people assume...

But what do I do if the school doesn't let me do it? Contact the BOS?

I have heard that only 5% of the state gets a Band 5 in Standard, and like 0.2% get a Band 6. Can't they at least let me try Advanced? Besides, I've heard that the difference in terms of difficulty between Advanced & Standard is small.

Hey guys. I think I really need some advice. Today my English Head Teacher told me that I am not eligible for Advanced English because my marks aren't good enough / my rank isn't high enough. They say they can only put the top 60 in Advanced English. But I really don't want to Standard...

I don't mean like your personal favorite, but what do you think is the most useful in learning. I would say the Commerce subjects (Legal, Eco and Business), mainly because they are very applicable to the real world, unlike English and Maths, if you know what I mean. Currently, in Year...
