    Type of pen to use

    I know a friend who used a fountain pen for her English exam. While impractical, it was smooth and enabled her to write real fast and it didn't ache her hand since the fountain pen's positioning allowed her wrist to like not die. I recommend a pen that is light, I used a 0.5mm pen from Morning...

    What subjects should I choose to fill up year 11 subject selection?

    I don't think we have a good idea on your strengths to decide which of the subjects best suit you. I just want to advise you that HSC subjects in Science is not remotely similar to the shit you learn in your junior years - so Chemistry and Physics you're gonna struggle in unless you have a knack...

    Stay in WSU or Transfer to MACQ

    A university's reputation is worth nothing if you don't make anything out of it. Employability ranking doesn't mean if you go to x uni and do nothing you'll get a job straight after you graduate. Rather than centralise your choices on reputations, you should focus more on the course outline and...

    But why

    English is not about learning Shakespeare, Judith Wright, or George Orwell. It isn't rote learning essays and short stories in order to mass dump in a 2 hour exam. English you acquire a skill to learn analytically and critically. Believe it or not, you need this skill for every part of life...

    Year 11 subject selection help

    I'm not sure whether Modern History or PDHPE is better for your selection, but I recommend Business Studies over Legal Studies. Mainly because if you do decide to pursue in Law, legal studies is not gonna benefit you any way (and the coursework is harder compared to business studies). While...
