    13 units? Should I drop Maths Extension 1?

    i think theres a bit of a trap people fall into in regards to having >10 units. which is that sometimes the desire to have only your best 10 counting overshadows the possiblity that doing so many subjects can have negative effects on YOUR OVERALL totals. i.e say i was doing 14 units, and i kinda...

    Why is education a competition?

    i agree. there are a lot of non-beneficial characteristics of the ranking system. suddenly friends are adversaries. my friend went on exchange in a south east asian country with a similar system to us (i cant remember which one =/) but it like had the same sort of final exams and ranking. and in...

    workload

    our head of english summed it up when he said 'you can make this as stressful or as easy for yourself as you want' i agree with everyone else. seriously if you keep to a regular routine of continual study and work throughout the year. you will go into the big quiz with a confident and excited...

    Class Sizes

    yeah i agree. its good. cos like, a teacher trying to teach two people will have more ability to concentrate his efforts than trying to keep control of a larger classes learning. perhaps sabotage him somehow so you beat him though hahaha. kidding i dont condone that sort of thing but...
