Re: Australian Mathematics Competition I got 48 D

Yeah we generally have an English Speech the day after trials and then EE2 is handed in same week that's about it I think.

Yeah 3 fairly crappy scaling subjects i.e. EES, IPT and SDD are offered as electives in Year 9/10, with the kids doing the HSC for that subject in Year 10. I presonally believe it's a waste of an elective, but each to his own.

I think what 90% meant was 100 aligned in General maths scales to 91, which is terrible. And it's not really stuck up, even my modern history teacher says so. The reason JR dont run Business Studies etc is that those students would pick Economics or History or Geo anyways, so rather than getting...

Our Exam is tomorrow. It's too late now. He'll have to make do. But really, reading the play is great for knowing about it.

Prelims are tomorrow but from Half yearly it's Chem - 87%

DT never has enough people willing to take it. And the other low scaling subjects would just leech good students from higher scaling subjects, minimizing their UAI. Standard English is a dropkick subject and you'd be stupid to take it unless it was forced. The reason Adv. English is compulsory...

Doubtful on the 80%, considering 150/166 take 3U English. Agreed many will drop to 2U next year to take 4U Maths but still, I doubt it's 80%.

If we did bucket chem pracs, I'd love chem. Wussy 10ml of peroxide can get fucked. At the end of the day you can do a bridging course for either if you dont get them now, but it doesnt really matter. Also lmao not enough for an Eco class. Subjects should run regardless of interest if there are...

Definitely Physics. Year 10 Physics was terrible. I'm very happy I didnt continue that stuff. But it does have its uses, especially the space stuff. I like Space.

My point is doing both subjects and being shit at neither, I can state with more conviction than a lot of others who only do 1 or the other that 1. Neither is particularly hard. 2. Both scale pretty well and scale equally at around 88+(Eco starts winning above 90) 3. Depending on your...

Re: Stay at local, partially selective school or apply for better fully selective sch People generally like studying.

I'm the only kid in the grade doing the 4U Maths and no sciences combo I think, and one of the few doing 4U/4U. I did consider History extension, but decided I'd prefer to do EE2 as I'm better at English + it scalesb btter + HX is a fuckton of work for 1 unit(yeah I know so is EE1/EE2/MX1/MX2)...

Mate, my 87 in Chem is my worst mark, but I'm 90/150, so there are 60 people ranked below me. I'm not shit. Oh and yeah this is at James Ruse. Also Chem is not fun, I did my maths homework in it today because i was so damn bored. Double theory lessons are torture.

I wanted to bump this to say that both WWE and UFC are fucking awesome. I'm a complete mark for all of it, I read about it daily, am a member of forums etc. I go to James Ruse. I guess I count as intelligent. I love this stuff.

When I hit my stride probably about 4 hours. This is 5-5:30min/km but towards the 2nd/3rd hour I'd be slowing to 6s. By 3 hours 30 I'd be running at like 8=9minutes/km because I'd be so damn tired.

Atm I've achieved 98.85(estimate) with minimal study (only a few maths papers).

Both.

Chem is a stupid subject. Eco teaches you how the world goes round. Big difference. And pracs are gay, last week I tried mixing 100ml of Hydrogen Peroxide with 10g KCO3 and 10ml of cobalt chloride and fucking shit teacher made me tip it down the sink because it would have exploded. Next Chem...

Lmao even James Ruse don't have that restriction. Though granted getting below Band 5 is considerered shameful, and only dumbasses like me get Band 5s (both 89s)
