oh I love english extension love english as a subject but despise english advanced. English advanced is not a real subject because what they are testing you on is memorisation and comprehension of specific texts, english extension is the study of english and literature. (I also literally am very lazy and dont study and english advanced is so much memorisation of quotes i cannot be bothered) the only reason im doing adv english is so that i can do ext eng, otherwise id (probably) drop to standard
oh so you don't freeball ext? ok that makes sense

Yes! Extension is 10000% better than advanced. If i use my "extension level" analysis in adv i don't do well bcs they just want the same re-used evidence rather than actual individual thought. (I have a like 48/50 average in ext and 85% in Adv lmao)
Also I got 100% on eng ext creative so I thought mod C would be a breeze, but its so different!

oh no i also mostly freeball english extension but i at least feel guilty about it. It is easier for me tho cos it isnt as much memorisation of prescribed texts its alot more like displaying an understanding of ideas and i like to be well read if i say so myself, so i dont have to make up quotes halfway through an exam and pretend i know the subject, i can just write normally and hope i remember a couple quotes on the day.

guys how to get 99.95 while only studying 30 min a day?
fill your body with helium just before the exam and bring lead-(or any really heavy material)-shoes with you, then when the exam timer starts (no earlier) take off the shoes float away into the sky out a window if possible (getting stuck on the ceiling works too but is a bit more tedious). you will then immediatly get a 99.95 atar as required by the NESA exam misadventure guidelines

uni maths starts from extension 2 and 1 level. even advanced wouldn't suffice. standard would be going in there with 2 years of knowledge gap
