I'd like to know. It feels like not accelerating can be a big disadvantage since you have all this time in year 11 to do a few HSC units and you can work on being really good at them instead of doing everything in year 12.

Out of the 80 or so people above 99 at my school, only about 30 accelerated.

I got 99.85 without doing anything that counted in Yr 11. (I did 2U Maths in Yr 11, however, since I did 4U in Yr 12, it didn't count).

Thanks :D That made me feel better. My school doesn't have an accelerate program and a lot of my friends from other schools are accelerating.

Not that many schools accelerate.

Three out of the five 99.95s at my school had no acceleration.

Not accelerating isn't a disadvantage at all. Much less a "big disadvantage".

i agree with the person above, thats not accellerating, just shows he was disciplined and committed
probably why he got 99.95 :D ....and the fact he's a study freak xD xD
LOL. A very committed person.

I can't speak for myself, because I accelerated, but the 2nd highest ATAR we received (99.15) was achieved without acceleration.
