    Choosing schools for OC (opportunity class) test application - NSW

    Wow! You were too quick to judge without knowing how the kid is being raised. Thanks for advice though. I will stop arguing here.

    Choosing schools for OC (opportunity class) test application - NSW

    Thanks. Not exactly the same school but most public schools in this area are decent if one was to go by NAPLAN scores. However, in my experience the regular teaching quality isn't always that great if you ask me. It's a hit and miss since it totally depends on a teacher. Also, classes are mix of...

    Choosing schools for OC (opportunity class) test application - NSW

    It seems there's some misunderstanding there. 1% among 1000 is top 10 rank and 0.1% among 1000 is the first rank. Both of these are next to impossible to maintain consistently across every test. Even 50th rank is hard to maintain every single time, leave alone 1st rank. Something is not right in...

    Choosing schools for OC (opportunity class) test application - NSW

    While the kid is doing well, consistency is very subjective when a very few wrong answers can make you slide 50 ranks down or even more and as many right answers can put you above that many people drastically. They have been among top 10% to 15% fairly regularly (i.e. among top 150 in 1000...

    Choosing schools for OC (opportunity class) test application - NSW

    We are in Cheltenham/ Beecroft. The nearest two schools (Beecroft and North Rocks) seem to be very competitive from the basic info that's available from the past - I still don't know how many kids usually choose those schools in their applications but just going by the marks required...

    Choosing schools for OC (opportunity class) test application - NSW

    Hi.. I am seeking some advice from students who went through Opportunity Class selection in recent times. Since there are only two schools to be chosen in the application form, it's a bit confusing and high-risk task given that we don't know the usual acceptance rate for each of the reputed...
