Does anyone know anything about GHS? Better yet, does anyone here go there? What are the teachers like? How competitive is it? What is the level of academic ability?? If you're wondering why i'm asking, it's because there is a very probably chance that i will be going there next year ...i...

Hey, I was curious as to how well the advanced course in year 10 prepares you for the extension courses in senior years. Any feedback suggesting required ability in year 10 which could be indicative of ability in year 11 mathematics extension 1 would be appreciated. Eg. a score of 90+...

The feeling mentioned above is exactly the reason i'm against moving to a selective school.

Who here believes that they have a good memory? Do you think that it aids a lot at school, for tests? I personally think i have a shocking memory, and in effect i find that to get higher marks i need to study more than someone else, who would remember everything that has been said in class and...

Haha, well i guess i'm not getting one then ...wasn't really sure if it would be of any use to me.

I think that doing past papers of the SC really helps, especially for maths and science, where alot of the questions are skill based. Using an online multiple choice database (such as the one below) is great as it allows you to try many different questions, with a time limit, which recreates...

Just wondering what you can tell me about graphics calculators. eg. What are they essentially used for? how much do they cost? are they worth the money? and if the answer is yes to Q3, what are the best brands? Thanks

In fact, i'm coming first in the year for science, first in my advanced maths class, first for music, and somewhere at the top of my class for every other subject (except metal lol :)). So what i'm essentially looking for is a better working environment, with more people at my level so i'm...
