I know a dude that got a state rank in maths ext2 (3rd or something) a few years back and he kept telling me it was all hard work and no brains

basically the guy did 100+ practice papers before the exam and pretty much experienced all possible ways they can ask you question 8s (filling the gaps in with his experience as he went). Not sure though, maybe he did have serious brains but wasnt owning up to it

Amigo, you see, you won't demotivate me, because
1. I am very much aware of Ruse being ahead of the state in the subjects i'm doing, that's precisely why I intend to kick their asses :)
2. as you say, beating them is like coming first in all your subjects, well my man, if that's what it takes to be ahead of every single ruse kid, then that's what im going to do ;)
3. You don't know who I am, so you have no way of knowing that ruse kids will beat me, because you don't know my skill level in my subjects, so you can't assume immediately ruse kids are better.
4. You most definitely do not sound harsh :) You sound more unfazed than anything else, that Ruse is unbeatable.
5. I help myself with high goals, it maintains motivation and self esteem, helping me all the more.

So amigo, you must try it too :)
Good for you :) I'm not gonna let you beat me in maths that easily though. If I were to repeat, all I'd need to do is more past papers.

Who said I didn't go to a top 5 school. The only reason I wouldn't say is because it's east to tell I'm a guy, so that leaves two schools left: baulkham and ruse. Don't know many ruse kids that would waste time here, esp in holidays so yeah.. Anyway, why does it matter what school I go to. Does it cause a confliction in what I've said?
You talk to the rest of us as if we'd have no idea how it is in a Top 10 school.

+1

Aerath was just stating that there are plenty of users here on BOS who are from schools in the top 10 since you think that only people from schools in the top 10 can get state ranks..

EDIT: My mistake you must go to Ruse then

Ok wateva man. You have a perfect understanding. Spiralflex will get a state rank. Those who say are going to get a state rank will. Now there's no more need to reply back. Happy? I don't know how to check again but you were the other guy that unrepped me or something. Now that I agree with whatever you said, there's no need to get upset.

Please stop giving Baulko a bad reputation =(
I never said that. I said this type of amazing talent can be seen in a good school, so it doesn't necessarily mean state rank. What's so hard to understand? I don't see how this can be seen as insulting/demeaning. And I still don't see why you randomly think I'm in baulko.

Not sure lol. Guess we didn't have the time to. Besides, I don't think I've seen a school do ex1 + ex2 in one year. You've got a lot to do. How well did you go in your prelims?
well there's a school in my city that does ext 1 and 2 in yr 11. I thought it was standard protocol for accelerants to do ext 1 in yr 10 preliminary then ext 1 and 2 HSC in yr 11, seeing as though ext 2 is a 1 year course just for year 12 anyway.
I went pretty well in my test, 96.

Well, we had only 10 periods which was enough to only fit in 3U. Good marks for your trial. The only thing I'm scared of repeating is that there are 3 guys that always get 97+. Haha, I have to make sure I don't act lazy just because I've done the course. Btw, do you go to Kings?

My exam is the same as everyone elses. Some time in week 2/3.
