Pros and cons of enrolling into a selective school for Year 12 (3 Viewers)

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

If you do well enough you may be able to get scaled up in physics. Not sure about english. MX2 will be the best for you.

I really think my school lags behind in maths. For extension our teacher spent the whole first term doing properties of circles :/
And for 2U we have only done algebra,equations and plane geometry

 

[Gigacube]

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.

That's what it's called. Applied. Yeah, there's probably about 20 kids in there. I doubt they bother to do anything. I walked past their classroom once and saw paper planes.

Little effort is required, I got 1st in Physics and Mathematics exams in my class without studying.

What's applied?

Calm down, no need to get ahead of yourself.

Everything scales down bar MX2.

Agreed i loved your turtle

'it's maths skills for people who don't want an ATAR and are stuck at school until they can drop out'

counts for units but not for atar

You still need to do well in externals to get a good mark. If you come first then you basically earn your mark yourself without the other students affecting you.

heh our cohort had like 4 ext 1 classes, 4 2U and 4 general, then in year 12 its 1 MX2 class, 3 MX1 classes, 4 2U and 4 general (which dropped from 5)

and @SpiralFlex:
don't lie man... you still studied a bit for maths

 

[slyhunter]

But I'm boss now.

Don't worry, cosmo kramer is continuing the Koopa legacy.

Got me there, but I don't study what we do at school.

 

[Gigacube]

cosmo kramer has the turtle now

I have no idea who that turtle is or who cosmo kramer is.

 

[annagurl]

PSHH, GUYS!
Slyhunter's new Polizia Gallardo owns the turtle!
YOU MAD? HAHA :]

yeah there wouldn't be any need to study the stuff in maths in focus if you ace cambridge and fitzpatrick... you mr studious

Haha, and you think I do?

I love hearing the stories of what goes on in the applied class at my school. They learn how to calculate the cost of groceries, bullshit like that. Apparently, for their assessment they will be going to Bunninngs and comparing prices or some rubbish like that. They often come out of class with work which has been covered with drawings of penises, haha.
