aight good chat

probably. Things I would consider are: 1. How good is your current school in comparison to the selective (How big is the gap) 2. Can you achieve a high atar independently at your current school 3. Do you want to be pushed more academically and you feel like your current cohort is lacking or has...

You are amazing 😍 Thank you! I'll definitely order them right now. Thanks for taking the time to give these. Much Appreciated!

Hey guys, quick ques. I'm looking for some good books to read related to hsc English or a good read that could help with ideas and things. I know 1 book won't cut it, but if anyone could recommend a few books that are good to read over the next 2-3 years for me (regardless of level to be...

Are there any online teachers that helped you in chem in terms of YouTube? Also, i think working of the syllabus is smart so yeah I'll try that

i kinda just wanna learn them to stay in a stronger position compared to my grade. I'm not too invested in jumping far ahead but lots of kids do tutoring and are learning ahead so i can probs save some money but still learn at the same pace.

yeah all these basic reactions I'm stuck thinking there has got to be more. i don't want to go ham with it and start learning everything but surely it's reasonable to get a better grasp. then again there are year 9 kids doing zhangs (which despite being only 1 term is more realistically covering...

yeah sounds good. just planning for the future buddy. also i am Year 10 next year so 1 year ahead is reasonable.

Does anyone know the best place to start to get ahead to Year 11 Chem and Phys. I've heard people say that Year 9-10 is truly negligible and a waste of time and its more logical to just skip to Year 11. However, where should you start? Is there any resources online about the structure of both...

Oh hey Yes99, I remember you back when we were stressing about acceptances 😅 Thanks for your words of wisdom, I am partially regretting I didn't take Ruse but saves me from more mayhem at this point. Also yeah nsb puts everyone on the reserve list (which is a fake reserve list) and I...

Thanks, Jimmy! I think it's just up to how I approach each school. I believe that even at selective schools I can still attain a well-rounded portfolio, just I will have to take the initiative to engage in more activities as opposed to them being readily available at a private school. However, I...

Thanks! I needed to hear this because I think I was just overthinking it. Currently, both schools are amazing and I don't mind which one I take. However, maybe it is time for a change. I feel pretty secluded in my current private school despite all the "promises" that they will make if I stay. I...

Thanks! Competition is an important consideration. But ultimately that's the challenge I'm putting myself into, but I feel like i could find my way just fine. Well-rounded learning is my biggest concern, many people attest to the "learning experience" you gain by putting yourself under time...

Hey guys, recently I decided to go to Baulko because i thought i would be able to further my academics (for fun). I also was able to make NSB and interview for Ruse (which I declined) and chose Baulko because of my brother, sport, and distance. I don't mind whatever school I took in the top 3...

Yeah, I heard that for one school the interviews are quite far apart, and it was making people stress that they were not going to be accepted. By far apart i mean 11 days which is a significant difference for people from the same years who are sitting interviews

What is the main reason why a school would space interviews so far apart? I've heard kids applying for similar years having interviews spanning around 11 days. Even the argument about the increased quota of interviews - because they have to account for 4-year groups (8,9,10,11) - doesn't make...

Oh that's great to hear. I didn't know that the chances after interview was so high, I assumed it would be a half cut of students but that is very interesting. Thanks for the info.

Did he get into baulko this year or previously? Then again, I wouldn't say that extracurriculars is a defining factors, obviously academics takes priority. But it is preferable with well-rounded students because if they are performing well with crammed schedules, who really knows what their full...

I recently received an interview offer for Baulko (Today) and I wanted to get a good headstart on the interview prep. Basically I know all the basic question but I'm looking for more curveball questions and good ways to answer them. What will assist me greatly is that I am under the impression...

Thanks, I'm just interested to see the amount of places they gave for interviews because I'm surprised I got one going into year 10, where schools usually offer a low amount of spots (alongside year 8).
