I don't thunk you should go to Erina High School because they might not offer 4unit.

If it were me, I would definately steer away from Erina...408 as a rank is not impressive...and even if you did rank 1 in every subject, you'd be relying on yourself to top the year with impressive hsc marks.

If you think you can get top 3 at Asquith I'd go for that...but obviously, Turramurra is the highest ranked, and if you can top those you'd be set for 95+...but that'd be a lot of work cause you're against better competition in your cohort.

My advice: Just don't go to Erina.

Just a reminder that that rank of 408 was last year's rank and between about 150 and the tail the ranks can change drastically each year. e.g. the school where I teach dropped from 180ish to 480ish last year but our overall UAIs were about the same (we had fewer Band 6s but a heap more Band 5s and high Band 5s at that such so the UAIs over 90 stayed about the same in number and %). We would expect to rise this year back into the top 200 just on the back of one or two students who we expect to go close to getting Band 6 in most subjects.

i think its prob. not a good idea to attend a 400ish ranking school and do 4u math.. coz its the subject that u really need to discuss with students of similar ability to u and i think little people will be able to do this with u in a low-ranking school
plus. u r much more in risk as u will be ranked first and so ahead of ur mates so that ur HSC depends on ur external only..

just my suggestion.. and trust me.. if u do well in ext 2 math it will contribute the most to ur uai most likely.. coz it scales so well

I doubt you'll rise back into the top 200 based on the performance of "one or two" students..

well, so this means im basiclly chosing between turramurra and Asuqith Boys then.

my analysis of my current suituation:
even if i try really hard my ranking in Turramurra would only be ranking the top 20ish ( out of 60 ppl? )

Asquith Top3 shouldnt be much of a problem.

come to peters!

 

[shuning]

peters? what is that?

If you can drop 300 places by getting 6 fewer Band 6s and expect to get those 6 Band 6s back then you can rise that number of places.
