ok bad analogy mb

ive always been interested in healthcare and med bc i think the work is rewarding bc i think it's an interesting mix of everything im good at and enjoy. in a weird way it kind of reminds me of maths, and the condition you treat is like a maths problem and the reward is that you get is being able...

what were you ranked internally in your subjects tho?

general advice while i wait for you to respond: the ranking of your school doesn't matter UNLESS your school is ranked so low that you need to be top 1-5 in all of your subjects to even band 6. if i remember on another thread abt your situation you said smth abt how you don't think it's...

i got you @jane1820 can you please just remind me what your goal atar is and what subjects you plan to do for y11?? ill cook up some advice for you

i don't stand by attacking other ppl's atar estimates or subjects or whatever but don't you think this convo between you and @Solarised is a bit ironic? you brought up their subjects scaling (which btw doesn't matter if they do extremely well, scaling only affects you severely if you flop) and...

fair enough

um no they aren't crazy and doing topics early doesn't align with the pace of baulko/nsg/a lot of private schools that accelerate even further. but it is true that penrith's maths is good ig. i think penrith's maths is good and girra's sciences are good, i would not call either school crazy good...

nobody in my school is doing the same subjects as me 😭 thanks for the advice tho

id reckon if you want me to suggest that you drop smth it would be eng e2. it's one of the most unpredictable subjects you could do and a band 6 internally doesn't always translate int a band 6 externally, there are many horror stories of ppl doing great internally and their external marker...

im also hella burnt out and its the enormous amount of work i have with almost no time to recover. pray for me guys idk if im making it out alive

not sure abt class of 26 but class of 25 has some kids that are really smart, and others are interesting

unpopular opinion but the requirements are not that unreasonable in my opinion. if you can't make the cut in penrith i think its not worth moving to girra/baulko etc. to go do the subjects you want to bc in those schools its actually harder to rank better. in y10 you have to make top 48 for...

go girra. also just bc you go to a school thats better in those things it won't make you do well as an individual, you might even struggle and fall behind bc thats how selective schools are. for now just think abt the short term and extracurriculars. either way penrith sucks tho

ok if you really want to be sure, what are you trying to get out of your school? stuff like leadership and extracurricular opportunities, smarter cohorts, better resources, better connections to uni etc. if you are someone who is not as academically oriented but want good extracurricular and...

also people that go to penrith don't have a single good word to say about it

it has been dropping for the past few years and they have slowly been shifting away from a focus on academics to a focus on leadership and creative arts. and its a simple fact that people in penrith try for girra after they get in or go to penrith to move to girra later. penrith is just not worth it

trust me don't go penrith the ranking is about to drop like crazy just watch

easy, don't go penrith. both are shitty and if you're smart you will thrive in either school
