Ok, suppose my school is ranked around 300 (??) or so ...and i'm ranked 1st for maths, science etc. and the top ten for all the other subjects. What would be an equivalent ranking out of say 200 students for a selective school ranked in the top 10?

Hey, thanks for the replies, nah i'm not letting teachers influence my decision, i was mainly asking out of curiousity. Btw, how do teachers at a selective high school compare to those at your average comprehensive school (ranked 100-200)? Better? Pretty much the same?

Hey, How do you think teachers will react when you tell them that you are going to move to a selective school next year ...happy or angry? I'm thinking happy since they've taught us and obviously (wink wink) they've done a good job if one of their students was to be selected. I'm just curious...

Hey, I didn't do terribly well, but anyway: Science - 72% :burn: Maths - 81% History - 99% :eek: Geography - 84% English - 86% Meh.

Can anyone please tell me what language (cornet??) has been translated to to get corni?? It was in my music test, but our teacher had never told us anything about a corni ...any help would be appreciated.

Hey i tried asking in the SC forum but no-one there could help me ...so do any of you have (by any chance) any music notes from year 10?? It's a long shot but thanks anyway ...

Does anyone here have any music notes that they could post up? I'd really appreciate it since i want to do music next year and i need to know the basics, but since we've got such a bad class we don't really get to do much, so if anyone could help out here, it would be greatly appreciated...

Probably my favourite show at the moment! :)

I'll have a go: First expand: a^2 + 2ab + b^2 + b^2 + 2bc + c^2 + c^2 + 2dc + d^2 = 4ab +4bc +4cd Collect like terms: a^2 - 2ab + b^2 + b^2 - 2bc + c^2 + c^2 - 2dc + d^2 = 0 Factorise the perfect squares: (a - b)^2 + (b - c)^2 + (c - d)^2 = 0 Since the sum of the squares...

Hey thanks yeah the maths exam was pretty easy, showed working out where it would be necessary and i should be able to scrape some marks.

Ok my question is this: Do you have to show all working out for the trial and real school certificate?? Please reply as my exam is in about an hour and a half. Thankyou

Yeah, research suggests that it does, but i would think that it's more effective for small children i.e when they are growing up. Personally, i feel that it can sometimes help me concentrate before a test, but i wouldn't put all your effort for that test into listening to classical music. :)

Does the trial school certificate usually incorporate questions from previous school certificate papers or do they make an entirely new test for the trials?? Thanks

I have the answers for questions 11 - 15 11) b = 27 12) y^2 + y + 1/4 = 1/4 (y + 1/2)^2 = 1/4 y = 0 or -1 13) 3x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0 Using the quadratic formula: x = (5 +/- sqrt 13)/6 14) q = 11, p = -8 (maybe the second equation was supposed to start with 2p, rather than...

My motivation at the moment is really just to be the best at my school, which you might think is a bit pretentious until you consider the fact that my school is absolutely shit and doesn't show up on the rankings in the newspaper ...motivation also comes from everyone saying oh you're so smart...

Metal work ...dread every lesson, i suppose i just can't motivate myself to make anything. Oh and history and geography, can't stand either of them.

well ...to how many decimal places can you recite pi? NOTE: this thread was created because my friend told me that at his school they have someone who can recite pi to the 1000th decimal place ...so since this forum is full of highly intelligent people, i was curious to how far you can go.

Thanks ^ btw, does anyone here currently go to gosford or did go to gosford? ]

which textbooks do you use and what do you think of them? Detailed questions, completely explained examples etc.

yay! I recently recieved a letter stating that i was successful in my application to Gosford High School. I'm So excited and nervous, but haven't entirely made up my mind yet. The thing is, I'll be moving from a school which (i believe) is not in the top 300 or so schools in NSW to one that is...
