    Chemistry or Economics?

    Economics. I do both and Chem is a shithouse subject. So fucking shit. Eco on the other hand is awesome. Not many people agree though.

    YOU ARE WRONG. If you get 100 in General Maths it scales down to 91.

    Is Biology scale up in HCS?

    MX1 doesn't scale up brother, it stays flat. At the 98%+ range quite a lot scales up though. But only at that high range and not Bio.

    standard scaling is higher than advanced?

    Band 6 is 90%+ aligned. Yeah the cutoff for Standard is MUCH MUCH higher because standard is perceived to be easier, same how the Cutoff for MX2 is much lower because it's perceived to be harder.

    Desperatly Worried - Should I change schools now?

    A lot of that engative scaling is due to your shit score in the subjects. There's a lot of room for improvement, and if you study a fuckton for all of them it's not impossible to see you getting 80+ in everything which should be above 85.

    How does this set of subjects scale?

    This man is correct. A 95 in English (Adv) is better than 96 in Maths (Adv)

    standard scaling is higher than advanced?

    Actually Advanced is perceived to be harder than Standard, which is why it's easier to get a Band 6 as a higher proportion of Advanced kids can be perceived as good at English as compared to Standard kids.

    Imo 2009

    Just a note, Sampson is quite careless in the exams at the moment, he didn't get 100% for either of them (Stacey got 100% in both though) but I reckon that's because he knows he'll smash them in Year 12 when it counts.

    Good/Bad things about your school

    I chew gum all the time in class. Stick my tongue out and show the piece to the teacher and stick it back in some times. Nobody cares ever. that's a terrible rule.

    School Captain/ Vice Captain/ Prefects

    1 girl 1 boy. Basically the sportiest male prefect and the sportiest girl prefect get it if they aren't School/Vice/Senior. And @Aerath no it's not Prat. She was school captain, and those Prefects are gone now. Their last assembly was Week1 this term.

    How hard is it to get a 95 UAI

    Aim for at least 90% in everything and it shouldn't be very hard. 93 in everything should get a 99 in most cases.

    How fast do you write?

    I write roughly 1000 words in 40 minutes. That said, 1000 words is easily 6 pages of my writing. I average 4-5 words a line.
