Holy crap, your periods are super super long. We have 8 periods a day. Each one is roughly 35-45 minutes long.

Err. Can I just leave a vague answer of "top 5"? :) How do I sound familiar? D:

I found that out the hard way... :(

I don't think revising for 2.5 hours daily would be very effective, unless you're really delving in and memorising the content off by heart or something. Setting a time-based schedule for yourself always turns out to be a bad move, so why not set yourself a content-based goal instead, such as...

Uneventful first day, got our blazers and timetable. No one in the year has any free periods (at least to my knowledge). :( How great is that? MX1 was fun fun, easy as hell, revising algebra. :P Our maths teacher doesn't give homework! Economics was terrible though because our teacher was...

I'm looking forward to seeing answers to your question too @OP, especially as I'm having similar troubles myself about how to prepare myself adequately for the fast approaching preliminary year. Personally, I'm planning to both read ahead and look over everything I'd covered that day so that...

Lucky you're so good at science. I'm absolutely miserable at anything that I can't bullshit my way through. On a completely unrelated note, we have the same ATAR goal! -waves- I was thinking about aiming for that elusive USYD graduate med (sandstone omg ./gasm), but you're the first person...

It's people like you who make me feel so guilty for doing absolutely zilch for the past four years. :( :( How did you divide those four hours up, may I ask?

Finished both surveys! Interesting questions.

Terrible as in lazy-and-cannot-be-bothered. '13 has a lot of those for sure. :( Agreed. '12 isn't too great, and neither is '13 (my grade), since although we do have a few high achievers, we also have a lot of deadweight at the bottom. '14 seems to be fairly strong though. Like I said above...

I failed maths. Gtfo. ;_________________________;

I knew who you were BEFORE I made this account. ./win. :)

Hello! Grats on getting into a top 3 selective for senior years! :) I'm just curious, what school is it? 200 --> top 3 is a huge, huge jump. You must have done so well in school :D

Sigh. I really thought we'd get our second place back. > < Guess not. :(

We'll go up for sure. Our rank last year got screwed up because of one miserable failure in the '10 cohort. :(

Your geography mark has stirred a jealously rambunctious reaction from my twitching loins. 98, wow. :( Nice job! I wish I had half your skills at geography; it would have saved me gargantuan bucketfuls of metaphoric tears that I felt cascading down my cheeks when I saw the geography SC paper...

This this this. Over half the grade slept halfway through most of the SC exams and didn't study at all whatsoever, and I attend a top 10 school. SC is a joke. Personally, I didn't perform well, but it was to be expected because I didn't study at all. :P 97 English 97 History 96 Maths...

97 English 97 History 96 Maths (fml hard.) 94 Science 90 Geography (bane of my existence) 99 Computing skills Will get a picture up if I can find my phone. Zero study for all subjects, both throughout the year and for the exams, so not too upset although genuinely disappointed with my English...

Wow, thank you for the lovely message! :)
