Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws! :headbang:

They have an honours list which they publish in the programme :)

I would personally go for the Whitlam dismissal because it has a lot more historiography, and it's not as recent as Keating. Focus on the historiography of the dismissal rather than the actual history, this is what markers like to see as historiography is the main focus of the Extension...

Has anybody been nominated for composition/musicology?

In a word, no. My school doesn't even let you drop to 10 units, it's really not the wisest decision. It's your 10 best units (including English) that will count towards your ATAR, so in my opinion, it's always good to have at least one "back up" unit, should you bomb out in one of your subjects...

They recommend you have Music 2 and Grade 6 Theory/Musicianship, but it's not a prerequisite. Quite a few people I know have gotten in without them :)

Ok well there mustn't be a Grade 8 Theory but there is definitely Grade 8 musicianship because I've read the syllabus for it. Not too familiar with the Theory course... :P

Hello! Does anybody know what kind of things they ask for the musicology interview? Mine is next week because I'll be in England during the main audition/interview period. But yes, any advice would be much appreciated!!! Grazie :)

Does that mean they'd mark musicology essays along with the aural papers as well?

I did Extension Musicology for a term, but I did the Musicology Elective for 2 unit so I can help you out a little bit if it's not too late... There aren't really any specific topics that will automatically get you into the top band. Ultimately, it shouldn't matter what your topic is. What...

Well I do Musicianship but I'm guessing it's a similar situation to Theory... Nobody does Grade 8. I don't know why, they all stop at Grade 7. There is a Grade 8 for Musicianship, but nobody seems to do it...I really enjoy Musicianship and plan to continue on with Grade 8 after the HSC...

I'm pretty sure you can only switch from Music 2 to Music 1, but I'd have a chat about it with your teachers. Don't be disappointed if they say no. Music 2 is way more work than you think. It's not just performance, you've also got the core composition and the written exam. As madharris said...

I can see why you'd want to do 'The DaVinci Code', and it does have the makings of a history project but in my honest opinion - don't do it. My teacher told us to always stay away from things involving conspiracy theories, as they never turn out well. It's also a bit cliched... Another thing -...

Yes, it could be an issue. Especially so if your school studies Richard III. Have a chat about it with your teacher. With this major work, in order to succeed, you will need to be prepared to make some sacrifices, as annoying as it can be. Richard III wasn't the only historical figure that...
