Who is entering?

Is it compulsory?

Me: entering because its compulsory

 

[*girl04*]

im going in it. every year i seem to get a credit so im like hoping i can get a distinction this year! ( 1/2/ the ppl that enter get a cred or distinction actually)

there is a comp for biz studies and ecos. too i didnt know that until like last week but there is so yeah

 

[~dEjA vOuX~]

When is the maths comp?? It's wierd how my school hasn't mentioned anything about it yet....but I'm sure it's compulsory.

 

[*girl04*]

it isnt comp. at our skool but the teachers really encourage ppl to go in it

 

[felafel]

lol at my school they force the 4U students to do it... so i suppose i'l be doing it too!

 

[aud]

I will when my school tells me about it... I've done since Year 3 (or 5 or whenever it started) and got Distinction every year except Year 9 (HD)... and last year when I was overseas, but our school has a bad reputation for having very few people do it when they're in Year 12... but hey, I like tests

 

[Calculon]

Its compulsory for the 4u's, That reminds me of the English comp I did last yr where I got top 4% and then failed the subject

 

[Gavvvvvin]

The only reason I go into those comps is because it gets me out of normal class I usually get a credit.

 

[Calculon]

I usually get top 3% in maths comp, but never gotten a high distinction

 

[Giant Lobster]

hahaha u need a top 2% to scrape into a HD... poor u

Math comps are cool~
gets me out of class
and u gotta love getting HD's in a shitty school like mine cos theyll announce u at assemblies and u get to look like some sort of supernerd in front of de whole school... COOL!

 

[korry]

at my school its only compulsory from 7-10, but i'm doing it neways

[KeypadSDM]

Every other year I get $50.00, I'm making money out of the competition, plus it's mentally stimulating, plus it gets me out of school.

There, you can't beat it.

 

[Sarah168]

how do u get $50?

 

[The Bograt]

Only if you go really well (top 2% or somthing - someone correct me)

 

[Heinz]

on the back of the certificate
"as a general rule, prizes are awarded to the top 0.3% of students, the remainder of the top 2% of students receive high distinction certificates, the next 13% receive distinction certificates and the remaining 35% receive credit certificates"

 

[The Bograt]
