Ougoah- you were the guy from Fort St on AoPS, right?

Yep, and so is onethreehundred. The invitations came today and we are in the physics.

Re: Olympiads

How did Ruse go this year, does anyone know?

 

[vulgarfraction]

Re: Olympiads

I think there's only one physics invite. As far as I know.

In my year (Yr 10) there are two people, one bio, one chem. I don't know about the rest of year 11, though.

Re: Olympiads

They don't really know/care.

And this year 9 guy got into chem. But I kind of expected him to get into something, cos he's really good.

Re: Olympiads

eesh, do you guys have to accelerate in either bio/chem/physics before year 11, to trial for the olympiads?

Re: Olympiads

He did 4 olympiads. Very successfully. IPhO Gold. And was vice captain. =\

There are heaps of talented "freaky" people in other schools though. In the end there aren't that much more people in the camps, it seems.

There's after weekly after school training Feb-Aug, which is just hardcore crash coursing.

We generally can't accelerate anything except Ag, SD, and IPT. Not even maths.

At least you could accelerate in, something. I wish I accelerated in IPT in year 10 or something, just to get some units out of the way. And Cosmology sounds so interesting x.x

Oh, eww. Poor you. Now's too late anyway, right?

I thought you would've loved cosmo too. >>

Listen, I didn't even KNOW about acceleration till something like, last year. Very un-informed, wasn't I?

See, I just never could've accelerated, anyhow

Yeah, but if you knew earlier, you could've badgered your school really really hard... xP (We better not spam up this thread- PM/MSN me... =))

Re: Olympiads

so, how are people preparing for the camp?

 

[vulgarfraction]

Re: Olympiads

You'd probably want to find a copy of the Halliday text to look through... or at least any first year text. Obviously it's good to go through stuff to some level of detail first or you'd be extremely overwhelmed.

Hey, I know most maths olympiad people don't frequent this forum (apart from a few) but if anyone gets an invitation to School of Excellence... post here. They're meant to be out around now.

I see then.
