I don't go to a full selective school, but I would think that girraween would have an option for accelerating math, and basically when you accelerate math, u study 1 year ahead (this is what I have heard from friends). Im not sure if in girraween accelerating math is mandatory or optional tho

Don't think it's mandatory. But for the normal class that isn't accelerated, what level of maths would a selective with similar ranking be at? Im so nervous

do u have a tutor??

 

[Constantspy977]

girraween doesn’t have accelerated math i don’t think

Im pretty sure it does bc bonnyrigg actually has a class for people who wish to accelerate math, and if bonnyrigg hs has it, girraween should have the option aswell

"This test is optional for schools with Year 10 students. Schools with students in Year 10 can participate by registering their full cohort. Teachers of the registered schools will participate in five hours of professional learning and then mark the extended response tasks for their school."

Idk how it is but for here they only run accelerated if enough people are willing to do it + they're actually competent. My cohort couldnt be f'd last year so there wasn't anyone doing accelerated but now everyone regrets not doing it.

idk it depends on what the school thinks best is for the students. it’s not like u have to participate in it anyways

You have quite some time before you start at girraween, approximately 4 months, during the 4 months time, I recommend revising(if u need to) yr 9 math and have a head start with yr 10 math. Some resources include math online, past papers on
https://kinrosscollege.wa.edu.au/student-education/curriculum-resources/past-student-exams/, and some textbooks

 

[joe mama]

well we are doing year 10 content by we're still in year 9 at school. Does that count lol?

nope by yr10 i mean yr10 at school but yr 11 syllabus at ngo and sons

 

[joe mama]

does anyone know what the valid exam consists of and what i can do to prepare for it?? or is it easy that it’s not worth preparing for?? what will the qs be like? do u think that theyll cancel it coz of lockdown

it's easy, not worth preparing for. it's an online exam- multiple choice and some short answers so i dont think they will cancel it
the qns are random trust me u cant study for them lol
im sure youre smart and capable so u will do fine
