    Private schools

    Private schools are amazing. Let me put it into perspective. Lots of people look down upon the co-curriculars that you need to do and the amount of sports and activities that private school kids take on. But in reality as "ceebs" as it seems, these are always fun to do. It's a culture you never...

    Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion

    sure. the questions are generic af for every school. don't make it seem like the school is your last resort (even though I know it may seem like it for many people who apply). it's kind of an indication about the stress you will carry into your schooling life and one of the questions they will...

    Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion

    Interview is auto-acceptance at baulko. just dont act like a bot and force them to change the decision. they usually have your acceptance already printed and dat. don't quote me but its been like this for years, same happened last year with me. you will have to choose your subjects on the day...

    Triangle question

    Is it 414? 15C3 - 3x5C3(rows making 3 colinear points) - 5x3C3(columns making 3 colinear points) - 3 (diagonals left to right) - 3 (diagonals right to left) = 414 The reason i don't include the 2 spanning across the whole grid is because they don't look colinear per se. I think the middle dot...

    Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion

    I don't see a need to follow up on your reports. I'm not sure whether its worth as you said explaining yourself for something you couldn't control. If you do well in your 2024 reports it should be fine. But you know your marks and report better than anyone else. so if you feel inclined to bring...

    Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion

    Your report will matter so like just make sure its relatively good. Its really one of your only forms of "academic proof" if you think about it. for the school in that sense. your test sorta helps, but the test is so volatile anyone can score anything, they will merge it with your reports to get...

    Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion

    I didn't save any resources to be frank with you. I kinda winged it, I can't lie and I wouldn't recommend that. I mean if you break down the topics: Numerical Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, Maths, Reading, Writing It shouldn't be too hard to delve into each topic and find practice questions...

    Year 8-11 Selective Result Discussion

    The official edutest tests were extremely useless. Cause they are really easy in comparison to what is given in the test. Its also extremely misleading. You can lose like 2 marks in the edutests practice tests, and this is not a good indicator by any means to what will happen in the real test...

    James Ruse entry application and interview tips and questions

    hahaha. no way he actually said that. my interview was so dead cause he had some assembly or something before. i thought the question were quite useless. cause like i mean no one is going to admit that they wont be able to cope or like why would you try all this way. i guess its just to test you...

    Peak HSC vs ZHANGS vs Matrix for chemistry

    yeah du is pretty good. unlike science maths is something that is pretty consistent among the years. your bound to learn something relevant each year that will help you later on in exams.

    Peak HSC vs ZHANGS vs Matrix for chemistry

    i mean you can do zhangs to keep your mind at ease 🤷‍♂️. but save the money imo for year 11 and 12. most of the concepts are really simple and don't require tutoring. just listen in school.

    Peak HSC vs ZHANGS vs Matrix for chemistry

    you don't need to do zhangs when you transfer. every school has an equally rigged year 7-10 science syllabus. nothing will change. my brother didn't care about science at baulko and just go C's from year 7-10 and then he just tried later (which is what everyone does). just pop off in year 11-12...

    Peak HSC vs ZHANGS vs Matrix for chemistry

    nah yeah 7-10 science you can just steam roll tbh. the concepts are pretty boring as well. ig you can go to the junior science classes but you really don't need to. your better of just starting harder stuff and then everything becomes revision.

    Accelerating Subjects after Switching Schools

    Quick Ques - Are you still eligible to accelerate subjects after switching schools? Primarily in terms of NESA requirements and whatnot. This is under the assumption that: 1. you have accelerated at your previous school -> so you have already completed the "my own work module" or whatever and...
