hmm....im a girl and i preform much better in maths/sci subjects...and frankly i suck at english/humanities...is there something wrong with me???
same here we can be freaks together

girls came first at our school in every maths level
all sciences and both std and adv english
although i came = 1st in 2u maths with a guy
i would have no idea who held the other positions
and adv english has more girls in the top 10
but i am not 100%

Girls v Boys

Obviously the discrepency has something to do with basic genetics but that isn't the answer. Look at the results for teh American SAT's in both English and Maths and the boys have always and i mean every year, done better than the girls, and the SAT is nationwide. These results are obviously influenced by socio economic factors but it just shows how all tests are gender bias and i think the HSC is very biased towards females.
