Makes no sense to me though, like 20 out of the 28 people who do PDHPE i would say arent even in the top 100 (out of 200) in our grade so even the not so smart kids are getting good marks at it
i see wat u mean.

theres no way phys is going to count over pdh. even if pdh scales much worse.
it's actually hard to say, because our phys cohort is REALLY strong. when i say really strong, i mean REALLLLLLYY strong. so it's actually possible that if he happens to screw up pd and does well in phys pd might actually not count.

Are you sure? I'm above average in physics and I'm pretty bad at it, and I barely study and spend class talking and cutting my split ends.
So I can't imagine what the people ranked below me are doing with their time, and how strong our grad can be.

but you are smart, so that's natural :) trust me, the cohort is strong, even mcauliffe says so.

i do find it hard to believe that he is ranked 73/108 though..he does not study at all for physics pretty much and he is not naturally smart and he was never any good at science in junior school. I do not know what the 30 odd people behind him are doing

mmh i agree...i think the grade's ancient history performance is a credit to her statement. The top few barely do much work!! I know for a fact that we hadn't completed much of our study the night before trials, and tambam DOES spend class time cutting split ends haha, yet she (and the few others) do REALLY well, whereas the vast majority of the cohort has marks that are SUBSTANTIALLY lower...makes me question how strong our grade really is!?

(although i do understand that phys and ancient are two totally different subjects with very few overlapping people...im just speaking from my exp of the grade and our trial results in the subjects that i do)
