What school is he leaving for?Tell me about it
Our highest achieving SC Science student is leavingI would have enjoyed teaching him Physics...
LOL XD
Oh I wish some people did drop out
Not to be mean or anything, but they deserve (and probably want to) be somewhere other than school earning money and starting a family or something like that. It just has to be that way.So you're saying my 83 in SC English is irrelevant and also, I don't like reading books... so would I still have a shot at doing good at Eng Ext 1? (Probably not xD) Reason: My dislike for reading heaps of books
My feelings exactly! Coming from a school ranked somewhere in the 200's, we have quite a few people who just don't want to learn and don't want to be helped with learning. They are coming back next year because they just don't have anywhere else to go. A little sad reallyOh I wish some people did drop out
but school is not for everyone.
I know how I lost all four marks and they were extremely silly errors.)it is highly irrelevant.
.. You're kidding right?97 English (extremely displeased; I should have actually looked at the questions before doodling all over my page..)
97 History (considering I ranted about the evilness of Menzies in my extended... -whistles-)
96 Maths (I felt like sobbing.
94 Science (winged completely, still so upset that I wrote the chemical equation instead of the formula for one of the questions.)
90 Geography (bane of my existence; winged it and scrapped a band 6 without studying so pretty happy.)
99 Computing skills. (so close to 100! QQ)
Considering I absolutely winged all six exams with no prior studying, I don't think I did TOO badly, although I'm still extremely disappointed with my English and maths results and in myself for not even putting any efforts in and being sad about the results afterwards. > <
That being said, that 90 in geography is really starting to bother me - maybe I should have actually researched what the hell reconciliation entails in Australia instead of regurgitating my extremely skewed beliefs in a sudden rush of obnoxious verbosity that probably had the marker sobbing halfway through my paper.
^ lovin this vocab. it's hard to find when u go to a school in the 200's :'(97 English (extremely displeased; I should have actually looked at the questions before doodling all over my page..)

Sorry if you find what I said offensive. > < I'm not a very academically motivated person as I expect so much from myself without putting any of the required efforts in to achieve satisfactory results. Or, to reiterate: I'm simply extremely lazy and rely on natural talent without bothering to fine tune said talent to perfection.
School ranks don't matter! Reading myriads of books from a wide range of genres help in greatly increasing your vocabulary to a gargantuan size so that you have a formidable array of words at your disposal, ready to fire away at any offensive targets; i.e. SC.
I don't entirely agree. Seeing a word within a given context allows its meaning to be better remembered. Also, reading (to quote my English teacher) "cultivates the mind and nourishes the soul". Not saying that you need to read like 10 books a day, but a little reading here and there during free time never hurt anyone.it is highly irrelevant.
btw, the best english students don't read. i don't read, not to say im the 'best' english student but from what i see in my grade it sorta holds true. My asian rival -.- doesn't read either. All in all reading is a waste of time. if anyone wants to increase their vocab- dictionary. com exists for a reason, news is useful for something yadayadayada....
Do EE1!
i told them that at my subject selections and they told me not to, but im an english person in my heart despite their negativity. u too should see the potential fun and excitement of extension
School Certificate English is irrelevant when contemplating which level of English to undertake in year 11 and 12. However, if you don't like reading books, then it might be best to stick to Advanced as your texts will just accumulate over Ext and Adv.
meh, 'tis tradition in my family (tradition started by one person, so not really a tradition) to do both EE1 & EE2. i hate reading but i enjoy pulling texts apart and delving into deep meanings and cultivating hidden ideas. The only books i've finished were the texts forced on us by school.
Dude, your SC results were basically perfect, 90+ band 6 in everything is just dam gud......
Yeah I used to be a massive bookworm in primary school, read like 3 books a week, read the first harry potter book in a day or two back when I was 6 etc etc and although I don't read anymore I think that the amount of reading I did back then still benefits me now when it comes to English. It's definitely a great idea to try and read a book every fortnight or something! It would really help in English, and just help you learn more about the world and be more eeducated imo.
