At our school, Penrith High (selective), we have to do English Edvance in Year 11. Many people are doing extension too.emca said:I'd recommend doing advanced English in yr 11. If you find the going too tough you can drop back to standard but you must do so before the beginning of yr 12 so before term 4 2007. The benefits are: An average mark in advanced is better than a pretty good mark in standard so a 65% in advanced is kinda like a 85 in standard. also if you drop back to standard you have had a year of rigourous study to help teach you the key concepts like poetic techniques. Finally in an advanced class your time isn't being wasted by drop kicks who are only there because they can't get a job and quit school.
