Following on from VN tradition, I've decided to make this poll to see what the general consensus is as to who is likely to be awarded Dux status in the 2011 VN cohort. 8-)
But first, I'll need your names. As far as I'm aware, there isn't a general VCE roll call for 2011, so I think the easiest way to do this is for all (interested) year 12 students post a reply to this thread right now.
You can make 3 choices.
Happy voting and good luck to the class of '11! ;)
-
Thushan, definantly.
-
Thushan and Pixon are shoe-ins for 99.95.
Who do I vote for though?
Aurelian. He needs to post more. :3
-
:-\ Epic fail... how do I edit the poll?!
I guess I may as well just wait until the list is long enough, then make the poll. 8-)
-
Ima go with thushan because he's crazy :D
-
Burberry will also get 99.95
-
I added a few options who I recognised as year 11s, although it's obviously not the complete list.
Edit: Found 2011 roll call list...

-
Even though I'm not going to get a 99.95, I'd still like to be up for contention. ;) ;D EDIT: You already did it, thanks!
Funny how the Dux of VN is assumed 99.95 - no if's, no but's.. but of course, it's always rightly assumed as 99.95. VNers are geniuses.
Burberry will also get 99.95
I second this.
-
ATAR is in year 11 next year.

aznboy50 has been banned as far as I'm aware..
-
Done, keep suggesting and I'll keep editting... I'll leave Aznboy50 in for lulz. :p
-
I'll leave Aznboy50 in for lulz. :p
;D Newsflash everyone; aznboy50 isn't actually Asian. He made this username for the sole purpose of surprising everyone that he was European at a VN meet-up. I know, the deceit.. ;D
Some suggestions: ech_93, The Ghost Inside!, EPL.11.4ever, chrisjb, nacho, azngirl456, and pi.
Moderator action: removed real name, sorry for the inconvenience
-
Just wondering, how did you guys choose potential people to get dux?
-
LOL who added me to the poll? O_O *SURPRISED*
-
Romperait for sure.
Also EZ...perhaps you are thinking of Goomblor. ;)
-
werdna
-
werdna
8-) Wow thanks transgression! Appreciate it. ;) ;)
Highly doubt it though.. thushan and Burberry have it in the bag.
-
i totally wish we could bet on this. :P
-
Andiio.
That boy is a god at English.
He's also my brother.
-
Oh gosh *blushes* don't say my name werdna! Haha.
Personalllllly I think it's way too early to have anything to say about this, but there are some students that are very clearly going to be successful!
Pixon, Thushan, EPL.11.4ever, chrisjb, werdna, funkyducky to say a few.
Dux? My vote is for a tie between Burberry and Menang :3
-

We're voting for 2011 Dux already? I'm totally flattered by being mentioned but I reckon VN's too awesome for me. :P
I say Thushan is a damn good bet, and Burberry, too. :)
-
Added more people. Also changed it so that you can vote three times if you so choose, since this year has such a strong cohort...
-
Burberry - who?
-

-
Pixon is one of the most industrious workers I know; I have little doubt he will get 99.9+
I'll chuck my vote (or at least one of them) that way then :3

Thanks! :D
I already voted, so I had to remove vote and vote again for 3 people this time. :D
-
Omg take me off its so embarrassing hahaha could never be me :P
-
Pixon, Thushan and Funky Ducky for suree
i would also have voted for Menang.. as well..
-
Big thanks to EZ, who has been organising the poll! ;)

Oh wow..haha! Thanks Aurelian.
I guess this is the best chance for me to point out just how brilliant Aurelian is...
His amazing Philosophy score is clearly indicative of his intellect and he couples this with a strong drive and motivation to work hard. He's definitely capable of getting the 99.95!

It is only natural that a bird comes to defend its eggs.

Though, I do admire your score in philosophy 2010.
-
haha thanks ^_^
-
So VN is where you find all the philosophers... Are you particularly interested in existentialist?
EDIT: Hijacked, sorry.
-
Pixon, Jbebbo and Burberry. Watch it happen.
I also heard that Aurelian is pretty cool.
-
ATAR is in year 11 next year.

ATAR is in year 11 this year :)
Thushan hands down. Followed by Burberry vs Funkyducky.
-
THUSHAN- the one thing we can count on in this ever changing world!!
-
The awkward moment if thushan doesn't get dux...
-
The awkward moment if thushan doesn't get dux...
I highlt doubt that :P
My votes: Thushan, Funkyducky, Burberry. Menang and Pixon are contenders as well :)
Who voted for me?? Probably for the lolz. ;)
-
My vote went to thushan; though, I think other contenders would be: Burberry, Pixon and Menang from what I've seen last year, given their results. I would also add julianhe93, though he never posts. He goes to my school; he got 50 for Accounting and 47 for Mathematical Methods (CAS) in Year 11 (last year). Also, don't forget the.watchman! He's a bright kid. He did Mathematical Methods (CAS) last year and did pretty well in my opinion. I won't say his score, but it was quite high. :p
-
I reckon Derreck Ha will get be the dux this year

I thought the.watchman was in Year12 this year?
-
id have to say thushan aswell.
-
I thought the.watchman was in Year12 this year?
He is. He did Mathematical Methods (CAS) last year (2010); he did one VCE 3/4 subject in Year 11.

Sorry, sorry, I'm forgetting we're in 2011 ><
I thought he was in Year12 last year. Wow, more intense competition :/
-
I voted for myself ::), EPL.11.4ever and Burberry. Thushan and Pixon will ace it though! (I could only choose 3!)
-
I voted for myself ::)
Sad, sad man.
-
I voted for myself ::)
Sad, sad man.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one..... ;D
EDIT: OK.. maybe I was the only one.
-
I don't think 3 is enough, I reckon we are going to have more than 3 this year!
Does that mean we go on highest aggregates then?
BTW, who's voted for me? *cough m@tty cough*
-
Maybe 5 then? We'll wait until EZ sees this, because I can't edit the poll..
-
I voted for you, Luken93.
-
i voted for you luken :)
-
Who voted for me? :O
-
Haha thanks guys, but you should've wasted your votes on someone that is actually in contention :)
-
oh ok, i used one of my votes on you too luken93.
-
there's no fun when we all know tushan will probably get the highest ever aggregate and 99.95
-

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Romperait will provide decent competition for him. =)
-
Who voted for me? :O
Me me! :)
-
is there only that many people who are doing year 12 this year or is that the main contenders on the poll?
-
Good luck guys :D
I am sure you will all perform splendidly :)
-
is there only that many people who are doing year 12 this year or is that the main contenders on the poll?
There are plenty more year 12 students.
If you want to be added to the poll, just let us know.
-
Voted for thushan, Pixon and jbebbo. Agreed that 3 isn't enough, there's so much talent on VN.
-
Voted for thushan, Pixon and Andiio.
Surprised that I got 3 votes though, must be a joke o_O.
-
Who voted for me?? Probably for the lolz. ;)
...when secretly he voted for himself :P
edit: the awkward moment when echenzi beats 60% of those who got voted..
-
Definitely Thushan :)
-
LOL who added me to the poll? O_O *SURPRISED*
Don't be

an aggregate of 50/50 after year 11 and you're surprised?
-
Ha I'm coming 7th, this must be a joke
-
;D You're on your way towards that 99.95 with your awesome BM score!
Really curious as to who actually voted for me.. ;D

-
Err...I don't know where my post went.
But anyways...I guess if you truly believe you'll be dux then fair enough. Whether or not that is sad...judge for yourself? haha
-
I don't really mind if I'm dux or not, I just want enough to get into my course :P

There is no way I will get a 99.95. I just voted for myself for the fun of it, but to those who voted for me, I'm grateful for the thought.

Most shocking moment of my life so far, seeing those results. :P I still think I fluked Indo. :D
VN's too pro for me though. With pro kids like Thushan and Pixon around, what are my chances? :)
-
Your chances are very high. You knew this was the answer didn't you... I could sense it in your tone. ;D
No one, absolutely no one (bar some cases), can fluke a 50. So, be proud of yourself Menang!
-
Sorry but I feel like raging at some members on the forum, just admit it, your smart and you can achieve if you put in effort. There can be more than one dux, i.e thushan, pixon, andio, menang etc. It just gets annoying reading posts saying that they have no chance, you do have a chance, but its all upto you.

*cough*...your raw aggregate is higher than mine
You're going to do brilliantly! My vote says so. ;) How's that for an ego boost!? hahahaha
@Onur369
Yeh...some people are being a bit silly. I guess that's why people wanted to have more votes. Oh well...

I'm just not going to deny my awesomeness any more :P :D Haha but seriously though, Onur369 you're right, it can get annoying (I find people who do this irl annoying, so I feel hypocritical here :S) so I apologise. :)
-
No need to apologize guys, most of the guys here deserve top scores.

Speaking as the person who won the poll last year (even though I told everyone to vote for appianway), some of us can find the overload of attention and expectations quite overbearing. It's a self-defense mechanism of sorts, which wouldn't need to be there if there wasn't as much pressure being put on from people around us. :p

agree times one hundred!

To break from the overwhelming trend of modesty in this thread;
I am clearly superior to everyone in this thread (nay, the world), and not only do I not have "no chance" but rather everyone *else* has no chance. I will almost certainly be VN Dux.
Also, I am a deity of some description.

Sorry to burst your bubble... but I have to point out that Romperait is far greater than you.

He is certainly by no means unintelligent but I'd say he's just shy of being a real 'freak'. He's pretty good though :)
-
which crazy 3 voted for me :o
must be because
a) they are doing/have done Japanese and want to show the lurve.
b) my avatar bears magical 99.95 powers
c) think im good at English? It's seriously my worst subject (although I intend to improve heaps this year ><)
-
I'd really like to vote for goomblor and Aurelian as well now but my votes have already been cast. :o

/votes for self

-
thushan, Pixon, funkyducky
lol who voted for me?
(and... just putting it out there, but brightsky for 2013!)
-
2013 is still a while away :P But yes brightsky seems like a very intelligent student for his age.
-

+1, brightsky hands down. Interestingly there doesn't seem to be a guaranteed Dux for 2012 although I vote AzureBlue ;)
-
From his posts alone, I can see that brightsky is really smart. Doing methods and spec questions at his age, and helping people out with these subjects, is something I could never do..
-
And his English talent too! I wonder what the teachers think of him when they read a year 12 standard essay in year 9 LOL
-
LOL I'm glad we uncovered the next Derrick Ha here on VN.

Is he in some sort of Genius program? Surely he's not just cruising through year 10 this year haha
-

I know schools where students can do 3/4 subjects from Year 10; at Balwyn High School, although I don't go there, if you're in the "accelerated" program/group, they allow students to take 3/4 subjects from Year 10 - in the hope of maximising their students' results.
-
Brightsky is also very very capable of getting high 40s raw for Chinese SL.
-

Heh, I was actually in BHS' accelerated program but fled to MHS. Talking to my friends who stayed in that class though, only a few did well in their VCE subject in year 10. Most said they didn't really have the maturity or motivation to do well at that stage. Still, I think one managed to pull a 50 in year 10... But yeh, most would've got lower than 40, or at least got a study score that wasn't included in their primary four so it's not all that useful from what I can see.
-
Is he in some sort of Genius program? Surely he's not just cruising through year 10 this year haha
Nope, unless you're Thor Taylor, MGS doesn't let you do anything like that. He IS doing Chinese 3/4, but it was sort of against school policy to let him do so.
-
so why'd Thor get to do it when people like the Lu's and brightsky can't?
-
LOL tell us more about this Thor Taylor.. :P Oh and I just realised brightsky is doing a 3&4 subject.. epic.
-
http://www.thortaylor.com.au/ how old is he?
-
http://www.thortaylor.com.au/ how old is he?
**mouth drops to ground

I think it says he's 17... Wow speechless.
'Some of my other achievements are (in inverse chronological order): Graduating high school in the top 0.1% of the state Publishing a set of worked solutions with Cambridge University Press at age 16; Receiving the "Prize for Academic Excellence" in my first year university maths course (at age 15, while in Year 11); Playing for Australia in the World Junior Chess Championships at age 8, the youngest competitor there.'
-
This ridiculously smart kid was in uni at the age of 17, wtf ?
-
he says he was age 15 at uni whilst doing yr 11.

I think the Uni High Accelerated program too (which I was in yr 7 and 8)! We also could do 3 1+2s (Latin, GMA/GMS, bio/Chem).
(from what I remember of their curriculum before going to MHS)
-
Damn......
Anyone know how he went VCE-wise?
Also found this:
http://blogs.unimelb.edu.au/sciencecommunication/category/thor-taylor/
-
so why'd Thor get to do it when people like the Lu's and brightsky can't?
Something about Thor getting to be put into his own special class in year 7/8 - he's a special case in MGS history, and I have suspicions it was related to parents.
Still, Spesh at the age of 13, lol.
Anyone know how he went VCE-wise?
99.90 (I was there when he opened it!). He got 43 in Latin, 39 in French and 43 in English in year 12, 5.5 in Uni Maths+Uni Physics in year 11, 47 in Physics and 46 in Methods in year 10 (or something close to that) and 44 in Spesh in year 9.

WTF? HE did spesh before methods? (why?)
-
And how?!
I have just suddenly felt a rush of demotivation and a lacking of confidence knowing exactly what the competition is like out in the rest of the state. :'(
-
^^I actually have no idea why - always been one of those strange mysteries of life...
-
What's the point of going to Uni at such a young age though? If anything, I would wait until I was older.
-
He's also one of the very special cases in being allowed to do two uni subjects. How I envy him...
(EZ may have seen him get his ENTER, but I got to him 5 minutes later!!!)
Anyways...we've gone off topic. :)
-
pi being one of the only people i know personally, naturally I think he will.
Also considering how smart he is + considering how much our year 10 maths teacher praised him LOL

I don't think pi can even get 99.95 after his 42 in Bio?
Feel free to corrct me....
Personally, Thusthan is a safe-bet.
Moderator action: removed real name, sorry for the inconvenience
-
Ahh.. you can still get a 99.95 with a 42 in the bottom 2. Mind you, a 42 is a bloody good score. pi definitely has a chance at cracking a perfect ATAR.. he got a 42 in Bio and he didn't even try..

TO be honest, I simply don't think he'll get a 99.95. Wish him all the best, but I think realistically, the smart bet is Thusthan, already 2 50's, if a 42 is good, what's 2 50's in year 11?
Moderator action: removed real name, sorry for the inconvenience
-
Don't be so negative.. there will be more than one Dux. 99.95 ATAR students don't get 50s for every single subject. There is likely to be one (or even two) subjects that they will do comparatively lower in. Thushan's 50s in Biology and Methods may be his/her strengths. Maybe we are yet to see pi's or any other member's strengths. So yeah, don't judge until VCE is all over and results are out!

TO be honest, I simply don't think he'll get a 99.95. Wish him all the best, but I think realistically, the smart bet is Thusthan, already 2 50's, if a 42 is good, what's 2 50's in year 11?
Try to keep in mind you're talking about a student here, not just a bunch of numbers. There's no reason why any student here can't go on and achieve the best they can, including pi with a perfect score.

Werdna, you yourself have a great chance also. I guess you have to treat methods nicely though ;p
-
Exactly. Romperait will definitely do well this year, and who knows, he may even crack the 99.95. He's already got 2 40+ scores under his belt. Just to clarify, Bonifacio, you don't need 6 50s to get a 99.95.
Werdna, you yourself have a great chance also. I guess you have to treat methods nicely though ;p
onur369.. I'm all for supporting other members, but I'm not going to be supporting myself on this front LOL (I only voted for myself for the fun of it). I've got no chance in hell of getting a 99.95. Oh and I'm not repeating Methods.. I've decided to settle with my dismal 31 (scaled). ;D
I played around with the ATAR calculator, and a 99.95 is actually still achievable with that Methods score in there. But I reiterate, there is no way I'm gonna get anywhere near that high an ATAR. ;D
-
I wont post his name because he may mind, but one of the boys at the australian junior chess championships (which im at atm) got 98.5 or something and hes in year 9. 42-44 in all subjects. 42 in chem yr 7, 42 spec 43 methods year 8, 40 something for english language, and i dont remember his other subject.
-
It is VERY rare that a 99.95 gets their score without Spec/language/Uni subject.
Which is why i admire EZ more than most 99.95ers :P

How do you do VCE in year 9?! (Or is this the same guy that we were talking about in the previous page, Thor Taylor?)

It's funny people are bringing up Romperait. I know him personally and I have a lot of confidence in him because he has such a strong drive and motivation to do well. And everyone knows, hard work usually adds up to a big score, especially as VCE rewards such people.
@taiga
Everyone admires EZ...he's too awesome. :)

I met him today, he's definitely a male.
He sounds like Barry White.

Ahahaha, I've never thought of EZ as a girl... :S
He does have the blue male symbol thing next to "Gender" under his username. :P
-
I always thought of EZ as a girl until I was smart enough to notice his gender symbol :/
Oh and iffets...when did he become a she? ???

For some reason I always thought EZ was male. Misconception?
I'm sure you're loving all this attention...>_>

Yep. Search for 'ATAR Notes'.

Wow guys, thanks for your faith! I read this whole thread just now - I was at chem school for a couple of weeks
Anyhow, I'll try my best, but it's going to be a lot of work
I would bet funkyducky and Burberry to be VN duxes (duces if you really wanted to get technical) of 2011
And werdna - just for the record, i'm a guy :P
-
Thushan no pressue haha
-
Its quite obvious that Thushan will be the dux of 2011. With most people, they are somewhat surprised when they log on and see their 99.95 ATAR score. For the case of Thushan, we'd all be shocked if the numbers 99.95 did not appear. The only thing that could even slightly prove a set back is his English Language, but judging by his posts, his English seems quite fine. xD
However, there might be another 99.95'er amongst the 2011 class. Judging by the study scores, I reckon Menang. :D
-
Yeah, whilst it's easier for some to get 99.95 from their scores last year generally everyone who did pretty well last year still has the opportunity to get it. So try and not get deterred by the talent VN has (I know I have been :p). Good luck to Thushan, Pixon and the rest aiming for it though !
Word hard. XD
-
English is going to be the determining factor for most people. Even if I did get 50 for both Spesh and Chem (and 35 for Latin), I would still require a 46 in English/Lit to get 99.95 (according to atarcalc). But yeh...Thushan probably won't have an issue. :P
And Zien...as if you're deterred ;)

How you can see that it's quite obvious that Thushan will achieve a 99.95 is beyond me. The year hasn't even started and so much can go wrong, placing this kind of pressure on him really isn't necessary.
-
Again the awkward moment if he only gets 99.90....

Agreed.
-
I'd have thought the fact that getting 80+ votes in his favour for something that indicates he will get 99.95 was far more pressure than any one single comment saying that it'd be more shocking if he didn't get that score than not...

Agreed, although I think we would be a tiny contributor to pressure in the scheme of things, I'd hate to think how your teachers would be after your scores last year Thushan.
Anyway, how the hell do I have more votes than you Romperait? In fact, how the hell am I 6th? Seriously guys, use your votes wisely (and when I say wisely I mean don't vote for me)

Yes. Yes it does. ;)
Of course not, that's not what he was saying.
I don't see how the thoughts of random kids on the internet actually places pressure on a person. What does it matter if you don't meet the expectations of people who hardly know you?
And luken's telling the truth. ;) haha
-
If they're an intelligent student who has plenty of promise, they will certainly have high expectations pinned upon their shoulders whether they like it or not. It's not really the people's fault for pressuring them either; it's just a 'natural' thing to do (and I use that term in the loosest way possible). Dealing with pressure is just another thing you have to do in VCE and in life in general regardless of their brilliance.
If he was really bothered about the pressure, he wouldn't be on VN. Rather, I think he enjoys answering to people's expectations and is grateful for people wishing him for the best. But don't quote me on that; I'm not Thushan. ;D

Wait what? Which part of my reply are you referring to haha
But yeah I agree, not that I'm the same position as Thushan but I kinda feel honoured that random people have faith in me purely because of my posts (I'm presuming?) and helpfulness :)
-
Speaking as the person who won the poll last year (even though I told everyone to vote for appianway), some of us can find the overload of attention and expectations quite overbearing. It's a self-defense mechanism of sorts, which wouldn't need to be there if there wasn't as much pressure being put on from people around us. :p
The reason I posted that comment was based on what EZ said about 'the overload of attention and expectations being quite overbearing.
Keep in mind that what I said was only in defense of Thushan and my interests were only in saving him from an overload of attention and expectations, and as such I'm more than happy to apologise to luffy and Romperait for coming off as too aggressive.
-
This:
Seriously guys, use your votes wisely (and when I say wisely I mean don't vote for me)
It was just a joke Luke. :P
And yeah, when I told my teacher (last year, not about Thushan) that some kids get 2 50s in year 11 he was shocked and thought said that, oh they're just nerds with no life (literally lol) who will get 99.95. True story.

I totally agree with EZ and The Ghost Inside. It's just undue pressure on Thushan for absolutely no reason and personally I wouldn't want that - but of course we can't speak for Thushan, some people thrive in the challenge.

You're going to have a hard time being a doctor/surgeon if you think winning a poll on an internet forum whereby most of the users are complete strangers is intense pressure.

Are you like addicted to being a doctor or something? I wrote "undue" not "intense". I don't think I ever mentioned anywhere that I want to be a doctor or a surgeon? Take your negativity elsewhere.
-
I don't think Thushan would be really... 'pressured', so to speak, moreso flattered IMO.
I doubt he's going to be sitting in his chair, sweat streaming down his face going "OH SHIZ I'M SO NERVOUS WHAT DO I DO IF I GET 99.90 OH LAWD"

You said it was pressure you wouldn't want. Surely that would translate to the pressure having an adverse affect on your performance? Why else would the pressure matter?
You post in the UMAT forums continuously and are quite a knowledgeable poster at that. You either want to go into medicine or waste a lot of time asking questions such as, "Should I start preparing for the UMAT now?"
-
^^ Incorrect assumption - UMAT is used for a lot of other courses (dentistry etc).
I'm sorry if I don't want undue pressure? - deal with it :S
-
Surely the pressure would be something you need to deal with? :S
OK ATAR, continue to bicker so you can win the argument, personal message me if you wish to continue the discussion but I have also seen you posting information about MBBS courses constantly.

I'd really like to vote for goomblor and Aurelian as well now but my votes have already been cast. :o
+1 for Goomblor. Anyone who knows him knows he's comparable to Thushan.
I just got back from 2 weeks in Canberra @NMSS to see that people have voted for me and I'm coming 3rd! :D
Also +1 for Goomblor, just lived with him for 2 weeks. He's more than capable of duxing.
EDIT: I mean I'm coming 4th! I can do maths... :)
-
^sorry for the vaguely creepy intro from Saul. Fuzzy told me your IRL name, and I saw you were at NMSS, so figured I'd tell him to say hi for lols. Sorry if it freaked you!
Also so true at Goomblor. 49 in methods and 46 in philosophy having done almost no work in either is insane.
-
^ Yeah that was a tad bit creepy. And Saul talks so fast I didn't catch what he was saying until he'd repeated himself 3 times.
-
^Don't judge me? :p And lol @ Saul, funny kid that one. Did he read poetry again?

Mm how was NMSS? Why isn't Goomblor on the poll?
Goomblor isn't a real VNer, plus he'd probably "beat us up" if we put him in.
-
Then I'd beat him up. =)
At Brawl, obviously.

In the year that I went, there was a year 9...

Are year 11s (as of Jan) allowed to go to NMSS?
Yes, and they should definitely apply, it's amazing.
^ What maths camp did you go to? I see schnapps hiding under your profile pic.
-
^ What maths camp did you go to? I see schnapps hiding under your profile pic.
Dec olympiad, of course. :) There's not many others... I'm guessing you guys would've also played cards/mafia/the hat game/schnapps a lot, seeing as quite a few people that went to Dec camp went to NMSS (in particular, those in year 12 this year).
yeah we did :)
-
In the year that I went, there was a year 9...
Oh, so they are allowed. Reason I didn't apply was mainly because I thought that it was only for year 12s... ah well, next year ;)
There was a year 6 at my maths camp... LOL
Ahahaha, most people are year 12 though. I think you know Graham White (he's a tutor at either Dec or April camp) was another who went early (also in year 9?)
-
^^don't worry, I'm close friends with Dana - I know most of this already. :p
-
Hahah Graham - he's quite enthusiastic about maths...well more enthusiastic than I am anyway.
AChO all the way!

I was told (by someone off here) to look for the guy with the halo around his head...
-
You'll be looking forever hahaha
Who told you that? :P
It won't be hard to find me - thushan is my real name
-
oh yeah - another thing about the monash uni chem lab, it does take some time getting used to the bulb fillers, they're pretty tough to use - not like the ones at school
yeah it'd be nice to work in pairs - even at the same bench as i was in chem camp (the lab sessions were in the same lab)
-
Well there aren't many kids that got 2x 50's if any, so you have God status at Uni Chem for now haha
Well I spose I can't reveal my sources, but it is a mod...
Well I know your name, I've got you on fb afterall haha
I think we would be working in pairs, so I'll try and grab a bench near you if I see you :)

Prefects are mentioned in Harry potter and macrob used to have prefects.
They are pretty much in charge of people in their year level or house. They are given permission to hand out detentions, tell people off, sort out problems etc. But this was the days back in the 60s and 70s. I'm not so sure about what prefects do now.

for englang, i'm going to try and collect and digest as many examples as i can and get a good principle base that i can work off in the exam. chem, physics and spesh just papers and german i'm going to just listen to podcasts, write essays, read the paper, etc.

Chem podcasts?

pi, take it easy! If you've done every qn from the whole textbook, you've worked yourself hard enough! Do practice exams slowly - as in like one a week, or one every 2 weeks, because all you need to do is refresh.

I've done Unit 3 Chem out of the Heinemann book, while we used StudyOn at school
I've done 1/3 of spesh + all of methods out of maths quest, while we use essentials at school
I'll do a few more questions or maybe use some notes I've made to use while I'm doing the practice exams, but probably just checkpoints during class!

I start school tomorrow and I haven't touched my Chem holiday assignment and totally gave up on week 3 of the essay writing initiative (I'll actually bother next week, I promise!).

How is this done?...
-
^ Trig, Ellipse/hyperbole, parametric form, rational functions. (technically more than 3 topics, but ellipses and hyperbole don't really count)
Umm Trig just involved looking at inverse and reciprocal trig functions...I think it mostly worked because they're not complicated topics and because I already knew a fair chunk of it.

Hmm, going through the course Spesh seems alright, not too bad

Yeah, speaking from experience, it's definitely not that hard to "learn" the first few topics in 2 hours. In fact, if you really put your mind to it, I reckon you could learn the entire spesh course in about 8 (or even less?) - there's really not all THAT much to the course.

^^^ That's crazy! 8 hours!?!

Yeah, I think 8 hours might be pushing it, but you could definitely go through it in one weekend if you do it right.

Awks.
And i will not reveal who he is hehehe...
its an asian btw. And not me :D Not pro enough.
He's got some 50's in the bag
I also think thushan is a good candidate (yeah i know hes on the list)
p.s should totes make a poll on 'who will get into monash med'
I reckon that is harder than being dux of .. anything :P

That would probably be because they all dropped physics and then went to uni bio/chem. A few from my class alone (we had one of the worst teaching years in a decade) dropped physics to do a uni sub.

We should make another vn dux poll towards the end of the year. That way it gives a chance for people to contribute/post more so we can see if they are a potential dux.

Yep, or even a something related to time active, considering the Dux should probably be around helping for at least half the year, not just joining at exam times like a lot of people do.

Agreed. Or the 99.95ers that join AFTER results and try to claim the VN Dux title.
-
So many 99.95ers joined up after results with some posts about their result and tutoring ads and whatnot.
Whilst it is fine, definitely should not be labelled as the "dux" of VN.

I think 'totaled' shoould be a candidate.
He's quiet on the forums but ur mind will be blown at what hes done already LOL.
+ he is breaking MHS traditions and doing uni subs.
Awks.
And i will not reveal who he is hehehe...
its an asian btw. And not me :D Not pro enough.
He's got some 50's in the bag
I also think thushan is a good candidate (yeah i know hes on the list)
p.s should totes make a poll on 'who will get into monash med'
I reckon that is harder than being dux of .. anything :P
Totaled is a legend.
A legend in the making.
EDIT: I'm part of the VN furniture now. :coolsmiley:

why do you need to post to be a vn dux.
you can use this forum for all its good resources without having to poast heaps/
i don't see why a person with minimal posts cannot be counted as a legitimate dux.
-
IMO they are still 'dux' but i dont think that they can be called the true dux compared to someone who has contributed to the community - as this is one of the purposes of VN

I think that a forum is meant to include providing your opinion and resources, not a one way ticket of taking and not paying back :P

I don't think there's anything wrong with that particularly and I'm all for people just leeching, but I don't see why someone would want to be recognised as a dux in a community where they're not known anyway. Don't see what they have to gain from that at all.
-
Kinda sad considering 99.95ers are dux regardless.
-
wats a dux?
im sorry, im from the arabian desrrt... we dont understnad these terms.
-
If mr Iraq was up there, he's got my vote :D

wats a dux?
Was that sarcastic? ??? ??? A person (generally one person, but can be multiple people) who achieves the highest score (in this case, by ATAR) in a particular cohort (in this case, VN).
-
No he wasn't being sarcastic; by his own admission, he's an Iraqi who doesn't understand boogin words such as "dux".
