Why's this important? The year 10's will get ranked alongside with the year 11s and 12s that are doing the same subject.
It doesn't matter, but it is unusual so we are exploring it.

I'm pretty sure that there are year 9s at our school doing 3/4 Chinese this year...

hence Derrick Ha

Yeah, I meant that it is common for them to allow that (i.e. Derrick Ha wasn't specially allowed because he was so unbelievably smart).

Actually (as a Haileybury alumni), doing 3/4s in Yr 10 is not actually common, particularly for maths.

Oh...I have a friend who did Methods Yr 10 Haileybury so I thought it might be common

Yeah, there's occasionally like a singe digit number of students doing 3/4 Methods in Yr 10.

The year I did methods we had two year 10s doing it - one of whom ended up beating all the year 11s and 12s who did methods that year, did spesh in year 11 and got 46 and was "disappointed" with that score (o.O) and ended up duxing the school last year lol.

If you're good at it there's no reason why your school wouldn't let you help boost their median study score :P

More baffling was a guy at my school who did Spesh in year 9 and then Methods in year 10.  Vice-versa would be reasonable (albeit freakish), but why would you do the harder one first?  >_>

Ah yes, Taylor Thor.  I remember reading about him last year in The Age (the education section that appears every Monday).

I also feel a little bit sorry for him because he's practically got no Maths subjects left for him to tackle epically own in VCE.

EDIT:  Had to cross out "Taylor" because it was inaccurate.  lol

(his name is Thor, not Taylor :P) I went to primary school with him. I remember being in "Advanced maths" with him in year 5 - the rest of us were struggling with year 10 level stuff while he cruised through uni-level questions -_-)
