Pros and cons of enrolling into a selective school for Year 12 (1 Viewer)

[Gigacube]

My goodness, one weeks of tutoring homework takes 100 pages. Back to our little discussion. I think I would benefit a bit more going to a selective school, but I honestly don't think it will make a significant difference.

If you don't get into selective aim to come first in all your subjects.

At my school last year the highest atar was like 97.8 which is pretty good for a school under 500
So i still have hope :]

Just a bit higher than mine. Highest ATAR for mine is 97.1

So you don't start 4 unit until Year 12?

we start in term 4 which is technically year 12, and i think the same goes for syd boys. i do know that Ruse starts early though

Still undecided on that matter, it does not require effort to come first in my school.

Apparently they're learning higher derivatives and integration at the moment.

Come first anyway then do your best in the externals. Aim for 100% in those.

100% for externals?

Yeah.... my school isn't on that list. So clearly, my school is shit. I guess it's what I get for living near the ghetto -.-

96.20 at ours. I think we had near 120 kids in Year 12 last year, I think only 15-20 or so are in University at the moment, hahahaha. Fuck my school.

Ruse just takes things to new levels. In yr11 they have 7 extension classes and like one 2U class. And in Yr 12 they have four 4U classes

 

[slyhunter]

You don't compare to Ruse.

Golden rule.

Lol my school pretty much is the same. We have less than 10 people in the 2U class and like 6 3U classes rn, and they're expecting pretty much half the grade to do 4U next year.

 

[slyhunter]

Yeah well Hurlstone has, um, 2 4U classes.

Lol, we don't compare well to top selective schools.

 

[Gigacube]

100% for externals?

As high as you can then in externals.

 

[Parvee]

my school has four general classes, one 2U and one extension class >.<

Golden rule.

I wonder how far they are in Physics.

 

[Gigacube]

My school has 1 maths methods (it's maths skills for people who don't want an ATAR and are stuck at school until they can drop out), 5 general classes and 1 combined maths and ext class. Ext has a few more periods and maths people don't go to them.

My 100 streak was broken from a last question in a mathematics topic test, lucky for me, it does not count, (Yes!)

 

[Parvee]

Spiral what are you upto in extention and 2U in school?

 

[SpiralFlex]

Our school is so slow at maths compound/double angles and t formulae.

Hahahaha, sounds like my school! We only have like 3 general classes, 1 advanced class with about 18 in there, 1 extension class with 6 or so people and an 'applied' maths class, which is pretty much your maths methods class.
