Does anyone go to Mac.rob

[Wazupcharlz]

Hey   I was just wondering if anyone out there goes to Mac. Rob so i can ask some quesitons about chosing subjects in yr 11. I'm in yr 10 btw  
Or if anyone knows someone who does plz let me know  

[TrueTears]

yeah a few high achievers here does go to mac rob.

i won't reveal who they are in public because of privacy issues but u can pm me.

You could always just ask people at school, seeing as you'd have 500 VCE students there already...

i go to MHS Y10 and am also in th'' process of choosing subjects;; debating on biology or physics
stupid biology :knuppel2:
hard physics :knuppel2:

Physics isn't that hard at VCE level. It's more about being careful. I can't comment on biology though.

Edit: Oh, and don't do subjects just because they're easy 50s or your school does well. I was going to drop physics at the end of year 10 because I didn't think I'd get a good mark. I took it just for kicks. It's really strange, because I did study score predictions in year 10 when I was choosing subjects, and I put 42-47 for physics as my school had done terribly, and 45-50 for english language. My scores were very different.

this is encouraging my prediction for physics is 40-43 and biology 43-45 but I find biology tedious and physics more interesting. suffer boredom for a better mark or enjoy physics but get a low mark?

[appianway]

You might not get a low mark. I far exceeded my expectations from year 10, despite the fact that science was one of my best subjects at the time. Do physics if you enjoy it.

Hahahah, after scaling, English Language will count if I don't get 48+ in English or bomb my other subjects (which is entirely possible). Although the 48 in English isn't as easy as it sounds...

Cmon, a scaled 47 is not bad for English Language. I'd be so happy if I got that. I'm pretty sure you can get a perfect study score even if you fail english (you won't, clearly though). I'm pretty sure a 47/50/50/50/5/5.5 gives you a 99.95?

[appianway]

Nope, it doesn't. 99.90 I think.

[m@tty]

Last year 109.1 209.1 was required for 99.95.

So you couldn't even have a 49 in your top four if you didn't have a scaled score >50.

EDIT: Wait, I knew something was wrong...

[AzureBlue]

Nope, it doesn't. 99.90 I think.

But I put all my subjects in the VCE calc, and it says that I only need 45/45/45/45/45/45 to get 99.9. (did this last year) Chinese scaled to 53 last year I think.

Wow, that's incredibly hard.

Scaling, my girl.  Scaling.
