I agree dont study it really isnt worth it for yr 10, the school certificate is easy without it, I got 89 for Science, 84 for English and 98 for Maths (god I love standardised tests)

uhhh....there's sumfing called 'silly mistakes' (which I tend to do in my exams :)) and......well.....you're not expected to get every question right anyway and plus it is not as hard as you think it is (from my experience) cos I did past papers etc. etc. :p

Well I said it was easy I didn't say that I was perfect (although compared to some at my school it appears that way).

Some of us actually did. I got 100% for my geography and history papers. In total for these 2 subjects I probably did about 3hrs study. Thats how easy it is.

thats not necessarily true, like i did advanced, and i always got good marks for it, so i did 2u for yr 11 and seriously sucked arse. now (yr 12) i do general and i rock!
if you do adv, give 2u a go, but dont assume that just because you cope with yr 10 adv that you will cope with yr 11 2u

I totally agree with Jess there. I dont study maths however my friend who was always really good at maths (got like HD's in all those maths comps) selected 2u and couldn't handle it. His now doing general and yeah is doing really well in it.

I wouldn't bother studying for the SC. Study calculus and stuff instead - yes study calculus in place of history study, dammit!

haha at my sister's school they told her there were trials for school ceritificate to make them all study and take it seriously

has it changed since i did it, or is this just some ploy to make the school do better, i.e. getting them to sit practise school certificate tests thinking its counting

if your in intermediate, do general.

^_^


no! if you are in advanced maths and failing badly dont just do 2/3 unit, because some people say adv people should. Ask your teachers, look at your marks, think about your ability and make an informed descion

I know i shouldn't be saying this but if your planning on doing 2u maths next year, do 3u instead.
The 3u helps you in the 2u even if your crap at 3u.

i would recomened maybe doing ext maths for year 11, but not for the hsc!!!! ( if just wanna do 2 unit) too much extra work n stress
plu in my opinion 3 unit stuffs your 2 unit mark up ( i dont know what is 2 unit and what isnt, so 4 2 unit tests i study ext anyway and get myself into crap)

That's just stupid. 3 unit isn't going to stuff up your mark - you are.
