just wonder are all James Ruse students high achievers?
Someone said none of them score lower than 98 ATAR. Is it true?:shy:
False.

i doubt it... probably 90 is the lowest
False.

You must have misheard, none of them get over 98
False.

The median is always 99.4 but someone last year got 60
True. He got 59 in 2008. Also median does change.

i would be motivated too if my life depended on my atar
Nobody's life depends on their ATAR.

life or limbs?
Neither.

I wish I went to Ruse :(
<3 sig.

Epic video.

this.

Ruse students are alright. People that complain are pretty much just fucks.

Also they aren't all "naturally smart", they very much have the same ability as you and I do but have a much more competitive school. It also helps that the school helps to make sure low scaling subjects aren't chosen and their students know about them unlike my fucken school :(
Well we don't actually find out the scaling of subjects till much later into Year 11/12, but our school doesn't offer anything that's absymal (i.e. worse than AG, we still do PE, IPT etc)

but they don't get the chicks they get tha
I've used a hoe like that many times. It's fun.

Bullshit, nobody is "naturally smart". They just study hard.



lool
You're just dumb and jealous. People are smarter than you and are born this way.

Tutoring colleges
False. I know of plenty who never went to tutoring colleges.

By being asian.
Not asian.

As someone said already, tutoring colleges as well as their parents who took it seriously. I went tutoring myself but I never took it seriously. It just felt like another day to see my friends for me. If I knew that by taking it seriously I could have attended a better school back then things would be different but hey I was 12 and not an Asian with non-Asian parents.

Yeah using the Asian excuse seems a bit unfair but surely we've all come to know that Asian parents do seem to care significantly more about their child's education compared to other races.
True.

This sig is fucking great:

Epic stuff.

Nope. I have a friend who went there a few years back and got a 94 UAI.
Entirely possible.

How much does school rank (schools rating, not individual) influence the ATAR?

Wow, the Anti-Ruse movement is so intense.

People can be naturally smart. It's just like being talented at singing or sports. (Not to say that people who aren't as smart naturally can't beat them if they work way harder)

It's not the school's rank, it's how the cohort does in each individual subject that affects the scaling of that particular subject. x

0%

the school rank is determined AFTER the exams have been sat and results tallied

by going to a previously highly ranked school just means you have an increased chance of achieving a marginally higher atar.

The case of two people whom I know who go to Ruse

1. Naturally smart freakish genius who actually has a life.

2. Natural dumbass who in Year 6 up till now has no life, studies all day and goes to multiple tutoring colleges.

Like in all schools there's a mixture.
