Yeah, I was pretty pissed off (it's happened halfway through year 11 and I still go on about it. Lol).
Especially because I only came 9th internally for English when I should've been higher and because English was still my lowest scaling subject even though I topped my school externally.
That's not always how it works.
My internal for chem was 83 and my external was 91, mainly because everyone fucked up towards the end of the year and it was a small class.
So yeah, school matters a bit.
Head Teacher didn't care, Principal didn't care, BOS wouldn't have cared, director of Teaching at my school cared - she made it so that teacher isn't teaching advanced anymore, but I had already dropped.
What are the requirement to do the advanced maths units at USyd?
The guy said it was advisable for me not to do them because I failed MX2, but I know I was capable of doing better. So I dunno.
