I'm not joking but I understand what you are all saying. I know everything I just want verification.

hence I guess if you were born to do well you will, if you weren't then you won't. The people going to selective schools were born to do well. I don't look beyond the first 200 though yes.

without being offensive the criminal activity part is probably true.

I have been to private schools all my life and you just have to see the HSC rankings to show that public schools are beating them. Private schooling instills good discipline but I guess if you were born to do well you will, if you weren't then you won't

Cambridge, oxford and Harvard (equivalent) to name a few.

Some universities won't accept you for any course without 98+. Yeah sure all it is useful for is getting into your desired course but you can't deny the elatedness you'd feel when you see the result is 99.95. Really a sense of completion to know all your work has amounted to the highest of...

Sweet. I hope you get maximum atar Michael. I will definitely go for it as I believe I am in the best position for it due to acceleration.

So do you think that if you can handle ex 2 math it is really a no brainer to choose it?

humorous arrogance?

What confuses me so much about HSC and ATAR is the fact that most people are learning these skills then it becomes more and more difficult to get an edge. Yes in an ideal world everyone could do well in the HSC but as it is a ranking aren't the most successful people at it just the people who...

That really is my thinking to some extent. If I can learn studying skills and patterns now it would make sense then when everyone else is starting year 12 and desperately worrying about cramming and whatever I will already have a groove going. Then again the whole reason I'm asking you guys is I...

lovehateschool - As everyone on this forum reiterates to me though, there is no direct link between people doing well in lower years and people doing well in the final exams. I purely want to do well now and don't ask me why I just want to. flicking through the book works for some people. I'm...

Yeah you are right the content is somewhat limited. It's mainly for math. I am being tested on all year 9 and 10 work (I do understand there is lots of overlap) and I have the math school certificate in the week after exams ( I also understand that that will be considerably easier than the math...
