do they still help others out? Or are they competitive as in, I want to be the best, so I'm not going to help you because if I help you, it's going to bite me back in the arse :c
Sadly I actually know people like that :(

Thats what I call bull shieeetttiiinngg!
It's kinda hard to bs bio though, they (or at least my teacher) look for key words. E.g prove does not equal to test/ support. Say for the biochemical evolution theory, if you said that Urey and Miller's experiment proved oparin and haldane's theory, it's wrong.

Idk, waffling usually leads to random words being tossed everywhere hence = hard to waffle in bio.

3/4 of my year legit don't care about doing well, so essentially I have to attain great ranks to avoid complacency.
I'm actually surprised - considering the nature of your school (if you know what I mean)

Isn't that a good thing? I thought that meant that you didn't have to compete with as many people for rank x
The only disadvantage of going to a badly ranked school is that there's less 'competition' or drive to excel academically, and that can result in either a) you making excuses b) complacency

Your School Rank?

Mine: 60th as of 2013
60th is pretty good, and seeing your ranks in maths, you are defs doing really well. What's your atar aim or "dream" course? :) Excuse my cheesy language, I'm having a mind fart atm. :/

I suppose so, but given the school environment, the lack of competition eases hubris and complacency.
My school ranking has been scarily volatile for the past 3 years.

Hawk , I'm so sorry about making that silly post. I really didn't mean it that way - what I was implying only justified my horrific English skills and I did not intend to imply anything other than that .

Interesting posts by enoilgam regarding maths:

Personally, I have a big issue with the current system and the way schools treat maths in junior school. Schools are very reluctant to move students across maths classes in Years 9 and 10 and they often refuse to allow 5.1/5.2 students to do higher level maths. So essentially, schools are restricting the options of students for senior school based on their results in Year 8 which is utterly ridiculous. I tutor Year 7-10 maths and I have seen a few talented students miss out on 2U and 3U simply because they had an off year in Year 8 and the school refuses to move them up despite their obvious skill. I think something needs to be done to allow for easier promotions, because the current system is grossly unfair.
Thoughts?
