  • Literature or English!!! HUGE DILEMMA!

Oh wow congratulations! 👏
Do you know if getting not so great in Lit in WACE will affect the scaling of my other subjects? As I said, really I just need to pass the compulsory english, but I don't want it to affect my other subjects - do you know anything about this?

Thank you so much for your time and help 😄

      No, it shouldn't. If it's not in your top 4 and you're 100% sure it's not a backup subject, as long as you pass, there will be no adverse effect.

          Hey theATARbatch just a quick question do you know when we get our final predicted atar based on year 11 results

          Hey, sorry for some reason I can't login my other account, so I created a new account. I haven't got my predicted ATAR either, and none of my friends know when we are getting it either, so I am not sure 🤷‍♂️

          Shame.

          Also are u expecting lower or higher compared to semester 1.

          I’m expecting lower tbh cos this time round SCSA will do it with all the data from the schools

          Ya but my school did it including all the scaling and stuff.

          Seemed kinda dodgy tho cos I got 97.40, and some subjects scaled down like crazy unexpectedly (looking at you methods), while others scaled up massively like chem, physics and literature

          • doe replied to this.

              I think only some schools do it for their students for sem 1, and it’s not an ‘official’ predicted cos you can’t use it for like early offers for uni entry or anything like that.

              We should either get it during holidays or when we go back to school. Idk the exact date, that’s why I was asking around here

                Oh that acc seems quite accurate cos last year methods got scaled down by 13 for a friend of mine who for 87% on the exams!

                  Just a question, how prepared are you for the year given we go back to school in a week and a bit

                  I have read the poems and prose, and written very very rough essays on 2 of them. It was with my tutor tho, I don't think I had any motivation to do that by myself... what about you?

                  Roughly completed 80% of U3 methods and 70% of U3 spec. Finished a chem topic at school and planning to cover one more before end of holidays. Also trying to finish motion topic for physics before then.

                  Have not done anything for literature except read half of Frankenstein and a short play
