    Atar Estimate

    86-89 You need to improve your rank in Chemistry, and it wouldn't hurt to push up a few more ranks in 2 unit mathematics or Studies of Religion.
  2. Ununoctium

    Business v. Legal v. Modern

    I would say Legal Studies. It compliments CAFS and SOR in some respects, and seems to be the subject you enjoy the most. You only enjoy some aspects of Modern History, and you aren't interested in Business, so you should definitely rule out Business and probably rule out Modern (and you're...

    Subject Selection

    Considering you only have 8 units at the moment, you can do both geography and a science if you'd like! Geography is like a social science (meaning there is more discussion and debate), but it's completely up to you whether it's easier to do than the "mainstream" sciences. Generally though...

    What techique is this?

    No, it is not a metaphor, because the writer is stating that the sales people are snake oil merchants as a fact; that is their literal profession. Though, we need more context to fully justify this. Another technique could be sibilance, I guess. Read more...

    2015 - 2020 HSC English Texts Published

    Awesome! Shall be good! We normally do textual dynamics, so it's interesting the texts have been moved around a bit!

    What technique is this and how?

    A connotation is a word with "other meanings" to the dictionary. So for example, home by the dictionary means a structure or a building. However, as readers, we associate other meanings to home like security, warmth, protection, food and shelter. Repetition is the repeating of words. For...

    My english sucks and pop

    Standard English shares 40% course content with Advanced English, that is key concepts (belonging and journeys). In that respect, the subjects are identical. However, in saying that, there is 60% unique content between the courses, and it is there you study different texts and ideas. Standard...

    What subjects are you doing for 2014?

    Yes, but it's still a popular subject. And Music 2 has okay scaling...

    What subjects are you doing for 2014?

    I'm really surprised no-one has chosen Music 1 or 2 or Drama here. They're really popular at my school. O_o...

    Year 10 Subject Selections

    Year 10 Subject Selections

    Sounds good, and the subjects you're choosing are very relevant to what you're thinking about. It's still a very good idea to do General Mathematics. In the interviews for university, even for education, they'd like to see that you're balanced in subject selection, and they look out for maths...

    Year 10 Subject Selections

    An interesting selection of subjects! Can I ask what your ATAR goal is, and what you'd like to study at a tertiary level (if that is your plan)? This is all very relevant for subject selection. Since you're strong in humanities subjects, I'd definitely recommend a history as it develops your...

    There are heaps of universities that you can get into for law with an ATAR below 99.65! ;)

    Another Post about Selective SCHOOLS :D

    I can see this is bugging you! ;) Hmm... if I were on the panel, I'd be trying to look for a balanced person, who has; -> Performed well ACADEMICALLY. -> Shown LEADERSHIP through sport or extra-curricular activities, or even at school (i.e prefect, team captain etc.) -> Can speaker another...

    What subjects are you doing for 2014?

    Economics has a lot more work to cover, and probably more memorising. It also has a lot of external independent investigation with tonnes of reading. Their subject selection palette is very demanding. Physics, Chemistry and both English and Mathematics extensions! While Economics is a very...
