I rarely read my English texts. They're often garbage. In 2u We've read Brave New World, some poems, Tess of the d'Urbervilles and watched Chicago and As Good as it gets. For 3U, we've read Emma and Arcadia, and watched Clueless.

I got a Public school and last year we came first in the state. It's been like that for 12 years. I don't pay for school. We are the richest public school in NSW, topping even Hurlstone who have like 100ha, and have more money than a lot of small christian colleges and stuff. And we still get...

Nah for 2U I got 54/60 this Maths 1 guy got 52/60. In 3U I got 50.5/60 and the same Maths 1 guy got 58/60.

I beat a few Maths 1 people on my 2U paper and they still whipped me in 3U. It's possible.

Oh yeah and if your Dad doesn't let you, just fill out the form yourself at school and when you get Drama or Jap instead say that Comm was full but you get priority for Eco in Year 11. Which is actually a truth. My mate did this to get out of Comm/SD and did Drama/SD instead.

It's not just scaled down a notch. 99% of subjects are scaled down, General's capped at 91 and scales down absolutely terribly. 2U Maths scales bad as well, but nowhere near as bad. It's much better. James Ruse don't offer anything that scales terribly. General Maths is one of those things that...

Don't do Comm and IPT/SDD. Tjhat's fucking stupid and boring. If you take Comm, don't take either SDD or IPT, and I recommend you take IPT out of those 2 since you're obviously better at it. If you take IPT, don't take Comm. Shit choice for your 2nd elective because the first one is already work...

to make something out of 50, find the mark out of 100 and divide it by 2 to get the mark out of 50.

Get it ripped out. It doesn't hurt with local. Maybe 1-2 days of pain max, and panadol kills it.

It's more like 9 kids in Year 11 and the same in Year 12.

Yes.

I have Down Syndrome and I have dreams of a 99+ UAI. I'm on 98.85 right now. It's possible. Actually I don't have Down Syndrome, but I know of people that do and have still...

No. My ranks are a 98.85 UAI according to my estimate, and equal an aggregate of 446 scaled. This actually around 99 flat in HSC terms. Jim what maths class are you in?

Yeah my parents do like comparisons. I have to get over 99.75 =D, since my mum's friend's daughter got 99.75 and she went to NSG, so because I'm in Ruse I must be better.

Yup. I got 96 and my mate got 96 in 2U Maths except I was 49th and he was 42nd because he got 55/60 in the exams and I got 54. For English the marks were tighter. 95 was 16th, 94 was 39th.

We do not have a UAI Party, rather there's a Year 12 BBQ at the end of the year however I believe this is before the HSC results come out. Year 11s cook the BBQ. Also if people had the choice no Ruse would not have 166* kids doing 4U Maths. There are people that don't want to do Maths, people...

I used quotient rule in 2U Half yearly and the 2U kids hadn't learnt it yet and I still got given full marks. You have a strange teacher.

Thread has already been made before, but whatever. 2U English - 16/166 - 95 3U English - 13/150 - 47 2U Maths - 49/165 - 96 3U Maths - 61/156 - 48 Chemistry - 90/150 - 87 Modern History - 5/19 - 90 Economics - 19/88 - 93 Also to shove it to OP, School Rank 2008 HSC: 1

There are no dumb people per se, but there are people that really dont try or dont care and dont do anything at all and get shit UAIs, last year our lowest was 59. Do note that this was an outlier, and every other UAI was in the 90s.

Awsome.
