i regret picking standard, and want to do advanced, but i don't no if its to late.
i did well in the prelim for standard, but i no how hard it is to get a band 5 or 6
any ideas, notes or advice would be great!!
yeah thats what im thinking, although im behind like 5 weeks atm.Kujah said:Talk to the deputy/teacher who's involved with the senior year or the subjects selection. Also talk to your teacher, and if possible, the head teacher of English.
If you think you can do Advanced, do it (It's only 1 extra text I think).
Yeah, I thought you couldn't move up. That's fucked if you can, and if I knew that I would have bludged year 11 with the shit easy standard texts.cs01001 said:Prove to him your worthy of Advance with marks, but really, do they allow you to take HSC Adv. course without Prelim? Talk to teacher anyway.
yeah i agree with that a bit, in the sense that people could bludge the prelim with standard. although im doing it cause standard is shit, and i made a terrible choice in y10.princesscal said:Yeah, I thought you couldn't move up.

cs01001 said:What are your marks like anyway? I know a kid who did well in Standard, tried to move up to Advance in Term 2 but was rejected. Maybe sign out of the school then re-enrol to do same subjects but upgrade to Advance? That would be silly, but it might work
thanks, im thinking that, and if they don't let me, ill just make do with standard.Without Wings said:Talk to your school ASAP!! best option - then you know where you stand. Explain your case, why you want to do advanced, discuss how you feel you went well in standard etc and see what they say. Re-enrolling is a bit of a silly option and won't really improve your chances, its just going to cause a lot of fuss for nothing.
Some schools do/have allowed standard students to move to advanced in the past, not all schools though.
