    Good/Bad things about your school

    It looks like one huge building to me. It just goes around and around. At least our connecting corridors mark each building as a separate block. Also there are lifts so the school is wheelchair friendly.

    Good/Bad things about your school

    Maybe it's just the girls sports. Our girls aren't all very sporty. Also we dont have too many stairs, your school is too dark and filled with corridors and shit. Our school is wide open instead of one huge long building. Also morning fitness program, if you fail 1.6 (do it in over 10 minutes)...

    Lack of motivation, complacency, etc in year 11.

    LOL I don't regret not trying at all. I got 89 in Science as well, and 89 in History. I didn however get a High Distinction for History (top 20%) in School. I got 3 postions in the bottom 20% (Maths, Science, PE), and now I'm fairly certain I can do 4U Maths based on ranks. so yeah. Year 10 was...

    Good/Bad things about your school

    I doubt you get the morning fitness program at any school other than James Ruse. Also another reason why Ruse>Baulko, we can discuss our greatness without mentioning Baulko (at least I did). Also, we beat you in Oztag this year, so we don't always lose to you.

    Need a kick up the ass via ATAR estimate!

    At James Ruse you don't need to be topping every subject. You don't even need to be top 5-10 either. Just top half in the right subjects.

    Getting 500 ag

    Generally yes they are, but that's not necessarily true. One girl that got 100 last year (Melissa Chen) did only 2U Maths (granted she got a State Ranking of 8th but still). So yeah. They tend to be good at at maths because James Ruse is traditionally good at Maths/Sciences. Also, through hard...

    ATAR + Scaling + Subjects = Confusion!

    I doubt General Maths actually counted in her UAI.

    Prelim EE1 - Marginalization: Arcadia

    I have a speech for Tom Stoppard's Arcadia due on Monday discussing Marginalization in Arcadia and I have no fucking idea what to discuss. Arcadia is fucking insanely difficult. I have no idea how to approach the topic. Has anyone done Arcadia, or have any notes? And don't tell me go look in...

    a challenge to all you maths nerds out there :)

    I got it in a minute. I don't want to do Engineering or Maths in Uni though. I have a predominantly English oriented mind.

    Does General scale really badly?

    Actaually even if you get 100 aligned in General Maths it scales down to 91. So yes it scales terribly.

    ATAR + Scaling + Subjects = Confusion!

    Stuff like General maths is very bad for your ATAR if it counts.

    am i the only person who does me2 who does not do any of the sciences?

    I'm considering MX2 and no Sciences. Works out the highest possible scaling combo as well (if I can get the marks I want). Also I can't understand Physics at all, so I didn't take it. I'm terrible at the subject.

    ATAR + Scaling + Subjects = Confusion!

    I doubt that's true if all your subjects are capped in the 80s/low 90s.

    Study Time

    LOLOL no. I'm fairly normal actually I guess. Also Ruse is nothing special. just Asians everywhere, nerdiness everywhere (I'm not joking when some girl in your maths class calls apples turning brown oxidising you know there's something wrong). 3U Maths/3U English is virtualy the norm, but...

    extension 2 math

    My school run the 4U and 2U exams concurrently. You learn all of the 2U work in the combined 2U/3U class, then do the 4U work in seperate 4U classes.

    Study Time

    I only do my homework and I'm on 98.85 estimate. I reckon with some study I could bump that to a 99.6 =D
