1. Certain students over-do themselves in Prelim.
2. Non-bothered (but naturally smart) students see the other students working hard.
3. Non-bothered students think, 'Oh crud, I should start working.'
4. Non-bothered students start to surpass the over-working students.
5. Over-working Prelim students start to burn out during HSC year.

...and you get the rest.

However, I know some people that have always been in the top.

Uh oh. I'd like to test the validity of this :). Is this only at Ashfield Boys though undalay?

But I'd have to agree with Bawd. Must not let them overtake me :uhoh:

Hmm...Not really the case.

I came 2nd in chem in prelim. I think I'm now either 1st or 2nd.
Bio I was 3X or so, and after half yearlies HSC I got rank 5. I'm certain it dropped though.

I THINK that it should be changed to...
"Every1 who came top 5 in beginning of HSC year is not coming top 5 anymore end of hsc." xD
Because I'm screwing up everything I aced in HSC year xD
Besides chemistry =p

Um...I was 9th in Extension out of 50 last year and 3rd in maths but that was when I was doing Year 9, 10 and 11 at the same time basically because I was not one of the original accelerants. (I was initially rejected because I was a new kid at school)

This year, I am competing against former accelerants (especially those 4-5 08ers who already got 45+/50) and people who are working much harder in year 12. But I managed to come first in maths and 3rd/4th in mx1.

Wow, that's interesting.

I would have thought that they would be able to continue their amazing run in year 11 to year 12.

Not always the case though. Many do of course, but some tend to think 'oh wow, im so smart, i can afford to kick back a bit this year' whereas others realise that they need to put in a whole lot more effort. The result, the people who work harder get better results. That's really what it all comes down to.

Yeah, arrogance is truly an evil thing to carry with. :(

I don't think I even have to wait for HSC. My assessments so far...have been pretty bleak. :(

Over confidence leads to leniency.

Eh, I've held first in all my subjects since the prelim.
Of course, after the trials of all my year, I'm the one who's crashed the hardest.

Haven't been to school in almost a week and a half

might just be a case where the students who topped in prelim...were natrually smart?? and therefore..didn't hav to work too hard to get to top..and just didn't put in the extra work other students did as we entered into HSC yr?

there's lots of reasons why it would've happened...

@my school...the top...are still at the top xD tho everyone's marks hav gone up at least bit (in most areas)

woot competition

ohh yeaa as long as i dont get sick in yr 12 like i did this year
