BTW, any one could advise me the best way to get to JR from Bankstown or East Hills area? I try to use CityRail planner and the number of station and bus changes really scare me. Car route takes about 47 minutes at the minimum. It's a bit far and hard to get there from Bankstown.

That's one of the top marks. What year was this? I know that 280 was about the top mark in history of SS test until 2007. I think they changed the scaling about 2008 or 2009. In 2009 test (for 2010), the OC top mark changed from about nearly 280 to 300. I assume they probably also use same...

I could see that PreUni students who trailed others in school works, UNSW competitions, NAPLAN, ... suddenly scored up to 20% higher (in the PreUni ASAT) than those not going to PreUni. Then I asked a PreUni student. The student admitted that he had done very similar questions to those in the...

Thanks, that sounds reassuring. My former boss was a James Ruse student long ago and he was not a nerdy PhD. But at his time, there were hardly any Asian student in that school. Coaching was rare 30 years ago. People say that JR students are insanely competitive. I feel that students who enter...

At least Mr Ye is honest about this. He told the reporter that it was the students andnot his teaching. It looks like he pushed the students like that infamous Chinese sport coach who rode a motorbike while forcing his runners to do a marathon each week and bashed them up if they refused. The...

No bashing intended here. I am genuinely interested because my kid may head to JR next year, and I'd like to avoid it if it is not a good school. Schools change quickly so a few years may be a long time. For example, my niece went to Sydney Girls. Two years later she complained that the school...

While I don't trust the claims of both men. But I agree with warezfan that this is exactly what James Ruse is doing. It is picking up the highest performers, and nothing could go wrong. The fact that the highest performers are being pushed by parents to rush to JR to face those of same league is...

Now that is funny. After I read the SMH article, I think Mr Ye only takes the best students who pass his entrance test. But you claimed that you were not smart before, how did you get in? Even Mr Ye claims that his students are smart, not his teaching. I reckon Mr Ye is real smart. he keeps a...

Nice. I suppose I only know people who quit rather than those who stay. I also know people who don't need coaching colleges at all. If he really helps needy students who look up to him then that's nice. You are obviously not too good at comprehension. I never said that he killed his fish. I...

I got this from the SMH www.smh.com.au - Study secrets from Mr 100 per cent I still beleive that if you talk to a few of them you would get a figure of 1000% of JR students coming from a few coaching colleges in Sydney. Still, it looks so interesting. Charging such a low fee. Having a...

From what I saw at PreUni's recent ASAT, it was a complete disaster. PreUni managed to award its own students somewhere between 20%-25% higher ranking relative to thoese who did not go to PreUni. Effectively the PreUni kids nearly got the questions weeks in advance. If PreUni claimed that its...

You call that "not cheating"! How so? The ASAT test was promoted as being independent of PreUni. It was sold to the public so that students from other coaching colleges and those who had never been to coaching colleges might want to try, and many did. As the result of this cheat, some students...

Hey could you explain PreUni cheated in the recent ASAT selectitive school trial? Students from PreUni all got extra-ordinary high marks even though they were average. I asked one and the kid told me that the questions in the ASAT trial were very similar to what the kid had been doing in the...

The trouble is that evey coaching place says same thing as you did. Adding the total up you get 1000% of the students in JR come from those who make the claims. So obviously most must be liberal with truth (:

It does look a bit fishy. The kid I mentioned before got under 200 in the previous ASAT test, he was told that he could not get into the first 2 choices. Now he jumped right to top 6% of the whole lot and could possibly get into the first choice. I don't think the test was rigged at marking...

Oh dear! No response so far. I suppose PreUni students are afraid of being expelled if they leak something. It sure seems odd that some PreUni students scored markedly higher in the PreUni trial while they scored markedly lower in other wider public tests like UNSW school competitions. The...

I am sure most students going to PreUni would attend this trial test. They actually offer the trial test at least 3 times each year and mimick the profile mark that is similar to the NSW selective school test. I would like to have your opinions on this test. Here is what I gathered from people...

Just google YourTutor and Library. Also, on their website they release news about libraries that buy the service.

Kumon is Japanese. If you don't have some Japanese old values (or similar traits) you would have problem. In modern Japan you can still see these old traits where young people are submissive to older people. High ranking people are bossy to the lower ranked people. Many people drink same stuff...

You should write to PreUni to demand an apology and also write to the DET to ask them to tell PreUni to stop this practice.
