what can you pick up? senior science, maths and english extension 2's, is that all?
If you do language, you can pick up extension of that language (if it exists) and you can pick up extension history if you do any history.

i can already see physics disappearing from my timetable... the only reason i picked it was because i was initally doing software but due to unfortunate events i had to drop it, & physics was the only other decent thing on that line.

if things go my way, ill pick up 4u eng, and maybe philosophy [not sure, then id have to drop another science {im a whizz @ bio, but i need chem for med etc and abridging courses just arent for me}] but most likely... i will have done 4u worth of maths [yeahhhh!] and ill just have 4u english, chem and bio and hopefully get a UAI of 98.35+

uum yeah and i think the only things u can pick up in year 12 are history ext, music ext, language ext [??], ext 2 maths & eng, and distinction courses if u acceler8ed anything.

Not necessarily a short story, but you have a major work.

from BOS;

Your advice to students would be drawn from the Syllabus requirements for the Major Work which are set out on p.92 of the Syllabus.

They require students to:

work independently to plan and complete a Major Work in the form of an extended composition
compose the Major Work as an extension of the knowledge, understanding and skills developed in the English (Advanced) and (Extension) courses
undertake ongoing, systematic and rigorous investigation into their chosen area
document this investigation process in a journal that demonstrates the processes of inquiry, interprets, analyses and reflects on the knowledge and understanding gained, and explains the stages of the composition of the Major Work.

They allow students to select an area of personal interest from their specialised study of English and develop their work in this area to a level of distinction.

Ahh.. so have you started doing yours? I think 4U English is abit too daunting for me. I like Advanced English anyways, good fun. 3U just killed my love of English that once existed in Year 10 :cold:
