There are Private Boarding schools, there is a Private Selective school and you didn't include run-of-the-mill public schools which are perhaps the most popular type.

While admin may crow that the average UAI on the forum is 90 or whatever it is, I believe that if this forum didn't exist, the average UAI of the same group of people would be at least 2 points higher.

Philosophy is good for drunken ramblings :/

broke in = was their first fuck (like with wild horses) haha I bet that makes a lot of sense in the context of this thread but yeah hmmm *cough*

There are always people smarter than you, and there are always people that you are smarter than.. TastesGoodBut, you must be pretty fucking stupid to start a thread like this tho...

that charles guy sounds like an arrogant fuck. society doesn't need misfits like that oh well he probably sucks at human interaction and i hope he dies a virgin the end.

I did Philosophy and got that certificate thing today. Only 2 out of 5 of my school went haha. Philosophy is the least work and traditionally scales the best, although scaling is highly variable due to the small number of people who do the subject. Which of the three you prefer with regards...

I would suggest things like study smarter, not harder. Use practice papers to find out what you don't know and then study that. Too many people waste too much time studying stuff they already know.

All of this advice is so unrealistic. I mean, WE didn't follow half of it. I'm gonna write something after I've gotten my UAI (that'll tell me how effective my study technique was).

Obviously not an English teacher as well. ;)

Yeah, but Ruse has an even higher cut-off than others. People cut down the academic perfomances of non-selective private schools like mine, Knox, but they accept anyone of any intelligence. In fact, you have to book years in advance so they'd have no way of knowing anyway.

When did you work out what you wanted to do (at Uni and maybe even after that)? Do some people still not know what they want to do?

And you have to be a genius to get in, they basically only accept 96+ people anyway. To be honest, it isn't the school, it's just the sheer density of extremely intelligent people.

So you could bullshit to your school? :lol:

But remember, if you screw one assessment up, don't get all depressed, it is unlikely to affect your ranking too much (unless it's your trial or something). Just don't make a habit of it. ;) One of my friends brothers got 5/15 and 6/15 for his first 2 related english assessments a few years...

Exactly. The girls are the only thing that keep Barker's academic reputation afloat... and they're outnumbered 2:1. ... and they still do crap. :p

Don't worry InfiniteQ. I'm in the same boat as you. I screwed my first maths exam, but the careers advisor said it won't make a difference to my ranking come the end of year 12 (ie: my predicted UAI still stands). :)

I will be doing: 4 maths 2 advanced english 2 physics 2 chemistry ... and maybe 2 philosophy if I get in (it's a distinction course, I got geography out of the way this year). :)

I did the effect of climate and season on vegetation. I went analysed vegetation in 4 different ecosystems/climates and compared them both with each other at the same time, and with themselves throughout spring. I visited my 'climates' twice. I had Thredbo (alpine climate), Avoca (coastal...
