No (i dont think so) but my skls giving out a ‘private subject selection’ speech thingy for parents next week (w the reports)

oh nice, I think my skl's doing a similar thing they call it "year 10 evening" tho

 

[enlargedthroat]

It specifically needs to be 4u, 3u, engadv, chem and phys for it to be called Asian 5, since the whole point of giving it the name to begin with was to save time since half of all selective school students are doing those exact 5. If you were doing chem & bio you'd normally say "I'm doing A5 but bio instead of phys". By the way, anyone who does an unmodified A5 is a boring person straight up, and the "A5 supremacy" lauded on these forums is complete rubbish. People claim its "the most optimal", because you've got all top tier scalar quantitative subjects but even thats a bit debatable because eco and latin are higher scalars than phys, and whilst phys does scale better than bio/ipt/sdd its close to being neglible on the high end and the amount of work you need to put in to receive a comparable mark is far lower for the latter two subjects than it is for phys. real alpha males replace physics with modern history and take the scaling hit because history is cool and you can cram .

You claim that a person who does Asian 5 is a "boring person straight up"? What a rubbish opinion to have for your old age. Personally I never knew what the fuck Asian 5 was until this forum, and in no way someone subject selections entitle you to belittle them. Personally I'll choose to pursue something similar to that in Year 12 due to me not being the utmost best in english but still good enough to go a bit higher. Excelling at maths, and wanting Physics for aviation/engineering and wanting Chemistry just incase I want to pursue something medical. Would you call be a "boring person straight up"? Honestly, your opinion will never matter anyways because you should let people do what they want to, and not everyone's cognitive functions are aligned to yours. Some may want better scaling, some may want easier subjects, but no matter there is something is someone elses head that you do not know about which is their reason.

Not many people care about scaling and whatever shit you do man, don't be that person who thinks their views are above everyone else. It's not a good title to carry around.

I wonder what the difference with Music 1 and 2? is there like an obvious difference or is it just like maths standard 1 and 2?

 

[Socialism]

Just wanted to get in on this

There's a pretty big difference. Its like standard English to Advanced English, but slightly higher.
Music 2 isn't offered at my school even though I want and can choose it T-T

BABE I WAS A NEW GIRL THIS YR TOO N OMG IT WAS SO AWKWARD BUT GIVE IT TIME!!! I FEEL LIKE U WANT TO SKIP THE ‘I HAVE NOW FRIENDS HELP ME’ PHASE WHEN U CANT

TRY TO INCLUDE URSELF IN CONVERSATIONS LIKE IF THEY TALK ABT ‘omg have u watched the latest episode for ginny and georgia?’ SAY OMG YES EVEN IF THE QUESTION WASNT FOR U CUS BABE THEY WILL NEVER INCLUDE U IF U DONT INCLUDE URSELF THEY. DONT. KNOW. YOU. SO U HAVE TO PARTICIPATE


IF U NOTICE THAT THEY DONT LIKE THAT U START THE CONVOS CUS IF U WONT SPEAK UP (literally) THEY WONT AND WILL NEVER LET U SPEAK

this method worked w me now i have friends across all year groups i kid u not so try it n tell me if u gte friends

BUT REMEMBER DO. NOT. DRAG IT LIKE NOT EVERY CONVO U INCLUDE URSELF BUT ACT INTERESTED IN EVERY CONVO

Anyways guys the selective applications close in two days (i havent sent my applications yet) but if i want to apply to just two skls instead of three, do i just leave a box empty? Plz i rlly need help cus my mum called parra today n said they dont take yr 11’s

the only reason im applying ps (partially selective) is to maximise my chance of leaving my skl, also dw apparently yes u can apply ps for yr 11 (its basically u ’force’ them to look at ur application cus A LOT of skl ignore out of area skls) n ik like 3 ppl who applied ps for yr 11 and got in

i managed to get into year 11 on like the last week of year 10 as a non selective student at a partial lol, it's definetly possible but u really just have to get lucky (i was definetly the exception and not the rule)
