Ignore him. If he continues to flirt with you, then he will realise his obvious homosexuality soon. After that, you can go back with him again

oh god, group work in yr 11 and yr 12? :(

Not all selective school teachers are good. There are some who just get you to summarise out of a textbook and this is when tutoring is handy. There are also some teachers who believe that selective kids need to learn stuff themselves. These teachers don't teach at all! Yeah, kids could learn by...

Tutoring is forced homework if the parents are forcing the kid to get tutored. Personally, I asked my mum if I could get coached for Mathematics because I wanted to learn ahead. If a kid wishes to go tutoring himself/herself, then that would not be forced tutoring. Yes, and I do agree that...

ME!!!!!!!! I hate group work! It's time consuming, stressful and annoying! :mad: Firstly, group work doesn't allow some individuals to express their ideas freely. Secondly, group work is time consuming because the group has to meet together to do the work. Thirdly, depending on the people you...

Some schools restrict the number of students entering a certain subject based on numbers and student results.

Yes, if students are capable. I don't think there is anything wrong with extending a student's capability. It's like saying that its wrong to teach an 8 year old to cook because other 8 year olds haven't learnt to cook yet.

hehe crush on a teacher. :D just jk

Yes. If you look at the UAC scaling report, the top UAI in Standard English for the past two years have been 99.80 and 99.90, but these students probably had high scaling subjects with them. If you want to achieve a uai of 90+ in standard english, make sure you have higher scaling subjects with...

Congratulations!

I know some people who have worked extremely hard throughout year 7 - year 12, but only got band 3's for the school certificate and 60 uai for the HSC. I would say that there is some certain correlation. Those who do well in their school certificate, usually end up getting high UAI's. If you...

+ 1 to the above post Also, don't stress too much. It only increases your stupid mistakes.

hehe but seriously, your school will only teach you stuff that they have taught you, and that is why I don't think you should worry about being behind - except maybe in Maths. Just pay attention to what they teach, and you should pass the Prelims fine.

Yeah..I don't like the fact that everything is gonna be easier for the future students because the whole point of the HSC is supposed to be challenging so that the ones that can cope with the HSC, are the ones who deserve to go to university. With everything becoming easier, tutoring + hard work...

You have to be quite smart to enter the top 5... otherwise, everyone would be able to get into Ruse with perseverance and hardwork! How would kids outside the top 5 be dumb? There are kids from schools ranked as low as 300 who can get 98+. And what if someone rejected Ruse to go to a partially...

That's not entirely true. At my school, there are reserve A's who get higher marks than the ones who got in easily. (Have you considered the fact that some reserves may have bombed out in tests? 'Reserves' are for the kids who didn't get the entry mark but have the potential to succeed well in a...

Yes, I think throwing an all nighter would work better than sleeping at 2:00 am in one night, because then it would alter your sleeping pattern. That's some useful advice! :D

Get a tutor or learn by yourself. Sometimes I do well with boring teachers, because the other students don't pay much attention to the subject....allowing me to do some independent study... and then acing the class :D

hmmm.. google doesn't seem to be displaying any relevant results on your text. Could you try asking your teacher and then maybe find it in the library?

Some of my teachers say stuff like that, but I see it as encouragement.
