I know this may seem a bit random, but i was on the web searching and came across this guy who passed his vce last year....

He got 99.95 which is exceptional, but he also got 3 study scores of 50 before he even got to year 12!!

Yep. Top 6 subjects are all 50 RAW. :(
I've spoken to him and asked him a question about his study habits but his answers come with a value.
"Come to my lectures to find out!" Reasonable..? but annoying.

Like most lectures, e.g. TSFX and such, if you know your stuff already, it's not all that useful in terms of coursework. What he does teach well is good study technique, exam technique and such though, and I found that part of the lectures actually useful.

hell yea. i'd recommend him times a million. i went to both his spec and methods lectures - the best money i've ever spent. especially because i decided to go to tsfx too n they were the worst ever

but yea, derrick is like the most amazing public speaker ever - reminds me of barack obama..haha...but derrick's friendlier :)  n yea he knows his maths stuff inside n out...like i asked him a personal question n was like woah at his answer. he shulda got a 51 for being so good at explaining, lol.  i'm gona send my brother to him for tutoring next year....and the year after

lol, that was funny. i was thinking wtf too. but i guess he was trying to show how messy a question gets using like 10 million symbols in the question, so i guess the log(0) didn't rly matter too much. the answer still worked...lol

He actually seems rather well-rounded (debating, badminton, etc.)
