[jay9nine]

wats better a D in advanced english or a B in standard english

 

[evilc]

B in standard

 

[AGB]

without a doubt, a B in standard

 

[ameh]

neither lol

 

[Lazarus]

Erhm... B and D equate to what? 'Good' and 'satisfactory'? Want to elaborate?

 

[jay9nine]

heres my problem.....

english and me had a big fight. i dont like it and it does not like me, im doing advanced so i can get a good uai by good i mean 80, or enough to get into teaching

the problem is im failing and i want to no whether its worth dropping to standard and doing well, or better than in advanced

 

[santaslayer]

go back to standard coz ranks r really important...i had half the 4Unit maths class this year getting 70 uais because they were doing really bad in it. they didnt realise that incompetency in even the most hard and "scaled" subject would stuff them up

 

[santaslayer]

oh yea and the highest uai scored for a person doin standard in our year was 96.10 but he came first...lol

 

[evilc]

we had about 8 people > 90 UAI with standard english

Well which one do you think you will go better in the HSC, noting that it is exceptionally hard to demonstrate a band 6 in Standard English, since an 79 in Standard is equal to a 79 in Advanced etc.

It depends on how you define B and D.

a 79 in standard does not equal to a 79 in advanced ...if u were asking who would go better presuming they both got 79...then obviously advanced student as the advanced student would then be scaled up as well

 

[Silver Persian]

On the page in BoS where it tells you the scaled marks for each subject it says standard and advanced english are scaled the same way

 

[Lazarus]

They ARE scaled in the same way.

wtf? Noway man!
so what did i do advanced for when i coulda got a band 6 in standard???...(i think anyway) what do u mean they are scaled the same? y then, would someone choose to do advanced rather than standard then?

 

[jay9nine]

i was looking at a scalling page that saaid advanced scalled twice as good as standard

You misinterpreted it.

Good students are likely to have their achievement lifted by the level of conceptualisation required in the Advanced course and the level of discussion that occurs in Advanced classrooms.

There is more value in studying a higher-level course than the advantage a student might gain in UAI terms.

i did standard English and my marks in the Area of Study were higher than Advanced people...like...only looking at the area of study my rank was 2nd in the whole year! So yeah...i really was better off than advanced people...so if i had done advance i wud have got a better UAI..~!
