GUYS THE GUY WHO CAME FIRST IN DRAMA (FROM RUSE) IS A BoS'er :D IT'S SOULFUL :D CONGRAAAAATS BRO....haha ruse hasn't had a first in drama since literally 2001

ah sorry I didn't mean it that way. I meant it relative, compared to the median from year to year. 99.35 or more is no mean feat and is a great atar anywhere haha

Funny you say that, Median hovers at 99.1-.2 year to year (last year was .1) As to looking down on, no one really cares as long as you achieve your own aims to get into the uni course you're interested in lol Although, good is usually considered .35+ since you get a certificate every semester at...

Ruse, I hang out with the cows at lunch. (No but seriously, I go there)

They're the people who were in the same shoes as you were - newbies entering ruse in Year 11. They're good mentors and friends since they shared the same experience and will help you to adapt along the way. You'll find out who yours are soon.

Nice. Do you guys know your newbie leaders yet?

Congratulations guys!! You sure won't regret it - take some time off to bask in the glory and make the most of the term and a bit you have left with your class mates. There aren't many opportunities in senior school to catch up :( If you have any questions, just shoot.

Glad I could help

N-type doped semiconductors are better conductors than p-type doped semiconductors. As you know the main charge carrier of n-type is free moving electrons in the conduction band (once a voltage is applied) while for p-type it's positive 'holes' (valence electron deficiency). Holes are less...

Because of your school rank, it'd be more accurate if you could provide a rough number of band 6's your cohort achieves in each of those subjects. Otherwise your atar estimate could have a huge range between 85 and 93

It's your rank which is important in determining your estimate because that decides your internal mark (assessment mark). Raw marks aren't relative as every exam is of different difficulty so it's difficult to determine how you're performing with those.

His atar is going to depend solely on his externals since he's first in every subject. It's hard to estimate though because your school rank has wild fluctuation but I'd say he's looking at 97+. iStudent was in a similar position last time (low ranked school, first in all subjects) and he pulled...

I plugged approximate marks into an ATAR calculator and you're hovering at 93+

For sure. Ruse will definitely push you to your limits if you're highly ambitious and in some cases it breaks people too. You'll feel the atmosphere is a lot more intense academically because the vast majority of people are highly motivated and gunning for top 10 places. I guess I made it sound...

In my honest opinion, the majority of newbies in Year 11 settle in relatively well since they mix with the rest of the grade. Although this differs from grade to grade, there aren't really clearly defined and segregated friendship "groups" so I would say the environment is quite welcoming. You'd...

Last year 24 students entered Y11 ruse (my grade)

1) Assuming you're talking about overall internal ranks (not trial ranks), then 1st will get the top INTERNAL mark (assessment mark), followed by 2nd with the 2nd highest internal and so on. The internal mark is determined by the external mark (final exam) e.g. if 97 is the highest mark achieved...

Re: What happens to your ATAR if you go to a top 20 school but rank last in a subject The mark you got in trials isn't important in determining your internal assessment mark, it's just your rank. Whether you drag people down or whether other people drag you up will depend on the external exam

Also, a friend of mine who transferred into Ruse in Year 11 wanted to add this: "tell them that usually an interview means that they did reaaaally well in the exam, and they just want to make sure that it isnt someone whos been tutoring for the exam and its what their parents wanted for them...

Ruse kid here, albeit in year 12 and was here from year 7: Yes, try to show confidence. The teachers will be looking for someone who stands out from the typical ruse stereotype, you know, hardcore studying, straight A's etc. If they ask about your positive attributes, something along the lines...
