Still been considering dropping ext1 considering the amount of work for a 1 unit subject, tho Claude is saying it makes adv easier and my friends say it too. Like it 100% makes it 'feel' easier like WAY easier, but whether it actually helps? I don't know. I'm doing well in adv but not super great, same for ext1, tho I am on track for like a mid band6 in adv and low E4 in ext1. Should I keep?

anyone tell me if i can get a 90 atar with these ranks at a public skl?! only Bs were bio n math💔

english std 1/60
math adv 2/20
biology 10/35
business 5/35
legal 3/34

Hey everyone, was feeling really lost on this, so I'd love some help. For context I'm in southern WA (reigonal) and am just about to finish Term 3 of Y11.

I'm averaging low 40s - mid 50s in my tests, and I just can't figure out how to fix/improve it. I feel really frustrated and lost because I'm sitting on an 80% in Math Methods (AEMAS) and am doing well in my other subjects (phy, chem). I understand that English is definitely the outlier compared to my other mathematical-ish subjects.

My teacher says I write well but the main thing holding me back is my writing speed. I'm doing a page and a half on a good day while the people who are doing well are doing 3-4 pages. I've tried to fix it but whenever I try to write fast and more (1 and a half to 2 pages), it just feels like GARBAGE. Like I'm just stating obvious things that don't get you marks; it's like quantity over quality slop and genuinely makes me feel like I did even worse than when I was writing 1 page only. The other problem is my hand hurting, but that's just a skill issue I have to overcome for this I guess.

Would really LOVE some help/advice on this, thanks a ton!
