What do we reckon?

I reckon I gotta become an academic weapon in between now and the HSC.

Lemme add some context:
1. I'm very confident in my EXT2 major
2. I don't study but I'm naturally pre book-smart hence talent + hard work = results

I disagree. Many James Ruse kids are likely of average natural talent. They just work insanely hard. Obviously there will be some who are child prodigies but a lot work non stop I would imagine. If you worked as hard as a James Ruse kid Id expect youd get similar marks due to your suposed natural talent.
+ parents who can afford all their 10 million dollars a term tutoring

How have they not killed themselves? A 99 atar is insane. I personally DGAF about my subjects or atar(need only 75) so my internals are ass. In uni im gonna be scared of Ruse kids because of their intelligence. Do you know any Ruse kids?

I did tutoring with a Normanhurst kid I believe and guy was much smarter than me. Learnt content faster. More accurate results etc. Admitedly this was in year 11 when i ranked in 5th percentile for Extension and 60th percentile for Advanced, and studied much harder. I got better after doing past papers instead of textbook.

My school's ranked 150. All smart kids do Ext 2 and are much smarter than advanced. If i was smart, id go to Sydney Tech. I didnt even get a 90 percent in my advanced trial.

Imo its not right to discredit ruse kids. They insanely smart and hardworking and will probably be rich :(. If u do ur coping

can I ask how you predicted your internal scaling?? bc I've also been calculating weighted internal average as soon as ive been getting trial marks back-- did you use rawmarks database??

do you think it will magically change it uni? your work ethic. I doubt it.

how tf do you know an anonymous user who hasn't said bs about their school, plus you graduated a year ahead - unless you went to the same school?
He doesn't. he's bluffing. Studetns from my school use this forum frequently. I think I even saw this thread open once on a computer in the library. I won't be suspected, because most students in the school aren't aware of my existance, and don't know the full story.

Oh my work ethic is garbage. Chatgpt did half my assessments. But a 75 atar isn't that bad. Besides failing irrelevant crap such as Physics, Chemistry, Economics, English doesn't matter. I hate SDD. People say that computer science is just applied math. And i'm decent at math. My teacher said that my Physics trial result was a low band 5. Maybe to a selective school kid that's bad, but I think it's good. And I litterally learnt half of it in a week. I beat extension 2 students who try much harder than I. ANd I don't think I paid attention in Physics once. I spoke about asian girls wiht my asian friends.

But I will at least try to improve my work ethic. I don't intend on getting any friends so no social life to manage. I might join the gym to boost stamina. I suspect I might have ADHD, so I'll try to get adderall.

I AM DEAD AHAHHA
My parents have a stigma against it. The counselor was on my ass in years 3 and 5. two of my three friends have ADHD, and I act more like them than the third friend.

They believe that Adderall slows your brain down. ????. Drug is litterally called speed on the street.
