Hi All Wanted to know good booksto practice year 7 and 8 maths as we are doing Cambridge books in school which is so easy and there are barely any application based questions but the school tests check application of concepts which I want to practice more. Any website or books please.

Hi there I am new to Australia and struggling to understand the format of test papers for internal school assessments. Can anyone share any year 7 samples for me to go through. The topics are Ancient past and Ancient Rome.

Thanks this clarifies a lot. However how will i develop and learn better learning strategies in non selective class. Would it not be important for 11 and 12. Another question what do you mean when you say higher ranks at RSC. Wont being in selective help me get higher rankin Ryde if i do well...

Thanks loads, am changing schools so should i go to non selective stream of higher ranked school at chatswood or selective stream of lower ranked school 130 at Ryde. Both are partially selective. I have received mixed opinions on which one i should picl and not sure if studying in selective in...

Hi Looking for feedback on Chatswood High School from anyone who is currently in the school or a recent passout. Pros and Cons. Are advanced maths and english given to mainstream students who perform okay maybe in the middle of their class. How isthe school environment and if there is a divide...

Hi I am new to this country and still getting my head around the marking system. Can someone please help me understand is internal school assessment more important than HSC exam score or vice versa. Also how are internal rankings associated with school assessment score so does the internal...

Thanks for the details, personally am not very convinced with changing schools as need to adapt to not just the environment but also style of assessment and rapport with teachers need to be rebuilt. If I have to stay with one school, am going in to yr7 next year, which one do you suggest...

Thanks tons. Would you think school rank matters and how. Also is individual performance important or the performance of the cohort. Really thanks a lot. You have given me great insights.

Great to know. So can I ask what dofference did you find between the mainstream and G& T classes and how hard did you work to get to the G&T. Chatswood has been consistently ranking in the 60s and is getting a new High School Building which I think will attract competition and teachers.

So where will I benefit more..Performing highly in mainstream class of Chatswood or performing around average in the selective class of Ryde (i may perform better in ryde but this is only worst case) Thanks again

Thank you for your response. Can I ask which year you are in at Ryde and if you are in Selective. I am confused why the ranking of Ryde is lower, is it because the selective kids dont perform once in year 11/12, if the teachers are not good or the mainstream kids pull down the school ranking...

@jimmysmith560 thank you for your detailed insight. But dont you think i will have to fight for a place for subjects like maths extension in Chatswood and also for a rank but in Ryde it wont be a trouble as long as I am performing. Thanks

Hi Need your opinion on whether I should go to Non Selective Stream of Chatswood High school (School Rank 66) or Selective Stream of Ryde Secondary College (School Rank 127) I like STEM subjects, play tennis, love public speaking and debating activities and also play guitar. I need a balance...

exactly that is my question my current class in non selective class in a partially selective school ranked 68 and i have an offer from a selective class of partially selective school with rank over 130. Hence am confused.Should I go to current school and try to get a seat in the extension class...

Thanks a lot but wanted to know will i find it hard to get maths or english extensions if I am not in the selective class as they get priority for their choices?

Hi thanks but doesnt the foundation become stronger when we are in selective class so we get an edge in the HSC

Hi there how has been your experience. Do they really teach you better and more in depth than other classes. What are the plusses and minuses

Hi All I just came to Australia last year and fortunately I got through selective exam that I appeared for. Now my question is should I continue in my current high school that has HSC rank 68 it is partially selective school but I am in the non selective stream or should I move to the selective...
