HI every one. A good school has offered me a place recently but I'm hesitating about whether I should change school or not cuz I cant continue doing ESL if I change to that school. So, is Standard a good choice?(I've been in Aus for just one year). It is heard that ppl cant get good UAI if they do Standard English,is that true?

The top UAI gained by a student taking Standard last year was 99.65. The rumour is untrue.

I'm doing Maths extention2, physics,chemistry in year12. If I can get quite good marks for these subjects, is it possible to get 96(above) if English(standard)is crap?

How good should i be at those subjects in order to get over 96 if I'll get just an average mark for english standard? Are there any example of this situation? u've heard?
