lulz, my friend moved from a shit public school in year 10 to a public selective school for prelim/hsc and she told me she thought it was going to be just like spiralflex imagined but it's not. Everyone in her year are really social and have parties all the time and a bunch of the kids in her year smoke pot and shit, and not everyone cares about their hsc, they just go their because their parents make them and they are naturally gifted.
My mum wouldn't let me try out for a selective school because she is a fucking whore and has no idea about anything. Fucking white people and their stupidity.

EDIT: Just realised me and Sly are talking about same school... shit.
Also, why do you want to leave a school with 3 MX1 classes, etc?!
My school has 8 people in MX1... like 24 in maffs, including 4 MX1 cunts. There are like a billion general classes because we don't do applied maffs at my school because that would be retarded.

ROFL, it's pretty funny how you believe going to any selective school will be better off for you. Just do well in your subjects and you'll get into the course you want at the uni you want. Too many people thinking HSC is LIFE. Stick at your current school.

Anyhow, James Ruse does not accept students after year 10 afaik. I'd say some other selective schools would have a similar situation.

Hi all,

I am a bit worried about the detrimental effect of continuing Year 12 at my current school. Would you recommend trying out for a selective school now? Your thoughts. Pros and cons?

Also, I would like to point out the matter of HSC subjects, so I would assume that I could theoretically change subjects after enrolling into a selective school. Is this correct?
Well my school rank last year was around 485 and we have a person get 99.90, and a couple others in the 90's (we only have 80 in yr 12)

If you come first in everything it wont affect your ATAR as long as your ace every exam which shouldnt be so hard

I want to be in a challenging environment.

Considering there is an innumerable amount of resources on the internet regarding the HSC, school ranking has little to do with ATAR's if you apply yourself diligently and work just as hard (if not harder) than the top ranking schools.

I say that because my school is in the 600's. And there is no way you can compare last years, year 12 to ours. Teachers have even said that.

Your mum was in a challenging environment last night.
But seriously, if you aren't being challenged by the 3/4 MX1 classes around you then just challenge yourself to do better. Challenging environment doesn't always equal success, esp. when you end up feeling average and lose your confidence.
