I've been trying to fuel all my energy into my major work so that it can be done to the best of my ability before trials. I really would rather not have to do it alongside conventional study for my other subjects, that would be too stressful. As such, I have chosen to compromise holiday revision...
Yes what the hell, it's waaay too early to jump to conclusions like that. Not only do you still have 2 more chances to reconcile your internal assessment rankings, but also the HSC after that!! Yes your half yearly performance will have a slight impact (though marginal), but the best way to...
Not too sure, like I know what I want to STUDY in uni but that isn't always necessarily what I want career wise, you know?
I'm still oscillating between;
1. Bachelor of Politics & International Relations at USyd
2. Commerce at UNSW
3. Arts/Law at UNSW or USyd
They all require ATARs of 95+...
YES!! Omg I actually like going to school, as weird as it sounds, so the thought of leaving all my friends and ESPECIALLY my teachers is so heartbreaking. I honestly want to come back to school after I graduate on a regular basis to catch up with my teachers, there are 3 of them that I honestly...
I think my English Ext essays are much more critical and indulge in the specifics of the context exponentially more than in Mod A essays. Like, I feel in Mod A, you can kinda get away with resonating with the context a little more generally, whereas this is never the case for Extension. At the...
Best tip I have for you, is to NOT get too fraught if you receive a mark that is less than ideal - I know it's notoriously difficult (I was in this position so many times in year 11), but you're only just wasting energy because it's NOT going to contribute to anything in the long term anyway...
Dude I know!! Same here, look at the comment above, that is completely unrelatable - instead, I've happily taken 2 hour showers and spent 1+ hour plus unnecessarily on the toilet LOL. I'm fucking always on my phone for ages as well HAHAHHAA. I should definitely be doing more but my half yearlies...
Uni Jetstream 101 is the best imo, but they run out fairly quickly so every assessment period I have to stock up on them hahhaha

Hey there,
I've been exactly where you are right now and I'd say keep it until you have received your mark back for your first assessment task. I understand this may be quite far away though (my first year 11 assessment for English Ext wasn't until May or so), so maybe consider it if you're...
Well I mean if you earned it, it can't really hurt to ask. I completely understand how you feel though but in the end, would you rather take the risk or lose the chance? And what's the worst that can happen - rationally?

I think you just need to make a start, now. Doesn't matter if it's the tiniest progress ever, just do it. Then you'll atleast have something to keep chipping away at in your free time later down the track, because you're probably NOT going to studying 24/7 for your other subjects. Seriously, if...
What are your marks and rankings thus far? The difference is minimal between them, yes, but I'd have to argue that Advanced requires much more critical thinking due to the complex nature of the modules. Nonetheless though, dropping to Standard will by no means guarantee better marks if you don't...
Don't choose a subject solely for the purpose of scaling - that is an avenue for disaster. Difficulty is subjective; if you hate a subject, then you'll obviously have a natural inclination to avoid it, thus making it much more difficult to do well in. I'm doing English Ext 1, and while it scales...
Hhahaha oh god no, I feel like I'm behind the entire state of NSW in studying because I'm always distracted by my phone AHH hahah

Aw thanks haha!! You too, you seem to be so organised and on top of everything hahahaha
HOLY crap what, if you're not note taking or doing homework, then I'm assuming you're doing past papers or going ahead or something? Correct me if I'm wrong hahaha. I want to do that, but I definitely...
Aw I'm jealous, I wish I had the same mentality as you - I've hardly done anything hahaha. I'm kinda in the same boat as you though, I'm seriously considering dropping down to 10 units by leaving English Extension 1. It's an exorbitant amount of work for just one unit, and I feel like I could...
Yeah, I completely get that. First term assessments neither make or break you, but seeking out errors and working of them based on such results will really help OP improve for the future. Just sitting there doing nothing isn't going to do anything - it seems harsh, but that's just reality. OP...
