From what I know, they're the same. They're just developing at a faster and better rate than developing countries. Eg. China

From your post it sounds like you don't fancy heavy writing. If that's the case I think you should drop legal instead of physics. I think your interest in physics would motivate you to study more of the subject than to study a subject that you're not interested in. From my knowledge, (I don't...

From my experience, 3U maths just takes way too much effort and time. It does scale really well though. Honestly it's hard to judge with just your raw marks. If you think the scaling would help you then you should keep it. But if the work load gets too big I would drop it. If you score 90s in...

If you're coping fine with the units you have now you should just continue with it in case you flunk a subject. Since IPT is an interest I'm assuming that you're doing well in the subjects without much effort for it. If that's the case, I think you should just go with it for the experience and...

I think you should just focus on studying physics since you're 100% sure you're not dropping it. Just take the tests for both and see how your results go. You shouldn't consider dropping it if you do well in it without the need to study.

You really shouldn't stress out so much in Year 11. It's more of a trial period to see what subjects suit you the most in Year 12. But if anything, being behind in maths is quite a serious matter. Year 12 work really builds from Year 11. That should be your focus at the moment. You should try to...

It scales higher than standard English but I think advanced English scales higher But always always remember that the workload for advanced is like three times the amount you'll need to do in ESL. If you're actually fluent in English but you qualify for ESL you should really take it. Breeze...

I'm trying to communicate with her but the criteria she gives is extremely vague. I understand English is a subjective subject (and she says so too) but I can't help feel like she's marking me down due to my choice of text. I'm currently using The Little Prince for the study of discovery and I...

You should check out some of Michael Leunig's cartoons. Always helpful. I'm doing some Leunig texts and The Little Prince :)

I'm having the same issues with economics. I've reallocated my time to be able to spread out my studying time for other subjects as well but now my econs teacher thinks I've lost interest in the subject. Hearing that really broke my heart. Any good tips on how to balance the workload?

I'm studying in an Australian international school and my school has basically changed at least half of the year 12 teachers. The teachers who taught my year in year 11 were basically fired/left and now we have to adapt to new teachers in year 12 with only half a year to our HSCs. Honestly...

I'm currently preparing to take my HSC at the end of 2015 and am hoping to take an undergrad course in architecture. Basically, I have a few questions 1. How important is it for me to have a portfolio? Like, by how much would I be limiting my choices if I don't prepare one? 2. What am I...
