Re: Truong's tutoring, any comments? It's hard to make an assumption about him till you actually meet him, go to one of his lessons. Then you can make a judgement about him.

lol, is it true ruse uses the marks to their decimal points to determine the ranks?

Tennis was either 7th or 8th. Few years ago we actually came first in it. Maths is definitely the best department - awesome teachers (on a whole); 120 kids and an average of 70 ish band sixes. Can't compare it to the number of 4 u kids at ruse, but our exams are of similiar difficulty, if...
