我举的例子也不够多才多艺。会跳舞的未必有99.95也没有钢琴演奏级或体育国家级。人人都有短板

至于大多 ...

和上海中学、复旦附中、交大附中、华师大二附中没啥区别，家长们对这几个学校趋之若鹜。那些学校如果很多书呆子，就不会那么高分了。

体育文艺需要从小练，到了中学年龄开始练就晚了。

My kid is weak on Music and Sports but he is a Music lover.
In Year 11, he was an AFL forum moderator and could deal with forum entries coming from young to old.
Even in Year 12, excessive time was spent on these "harmful to study" interests.

我一直在想一个问题，如果NSW规定取消一切补习，JR是否还是可以那样优秀。如果这些顶尖学校里的学生都是靠 ...

取消补习第一还是前三名啊。你回忆一下，你靠补习能上清华北大吗？

CSHO

Some years ago, my kid studied in a combined class Yr 5/6 in Yr 5 and in Yr 6 of a non-OC school.

In Yr 5, half class took Selective School exam, one classmate got state rank 3 and had JR offer.
One classmate got state rank 6 and had no JR offer because JR was not a preference selected due to under-estimation of kid's ability. A younger sibling had JR offer in later year.

CSHO

In Yr 6, half class took Selective School exam, 2 got JR offers and studied in JR.
Right after Selective School exam, my kid took a few months leave.
The other student with JR offer followed suit.

CSHO

With disruption of schooling, both JR students were not the school top students.
Also, missing school for a few months had no material bad effects on progression to high school.

In such a small Yr 5 class, 3 students had JR offers and 2 students is studying medicine in UNSW.

CSHO

Most people mention getting good exam result need hard work, talent, luck, etc.
Some unexpected answers -

CSHO

The parent of the second student with JR offer provided a bonus of $150 when his
Selective school score exceeded my kid's score.
Look like, this is a practical incentive to get good score.

CSHO

When an ATAR 99.95 student failed to get rank 1 in a Chinese five subject, his parent
explained that he mistreated scoring assignment as non-scoring one.

CSHO

UCAT exam have 5 sections.
One section SJT did not contribute to overall score and ANZ medical schools did not consider it for admission.
So, no one took SJT seriously and spent time on preparation.
My kid spent minor effort on UCAT and had good UCAT overall score and very good UCAT SJT score.
His answer to my how and why getting these are aptitude and common sense.

CSHO

This is why he does not tutor on UCAT.

CSHO

He had a good teacher in Yr 5.
She said she was not good in Math and asked for parent help.
As no parent responded, classmates liked to get help from my kid on Maths.
Some of them went to jr, bh, nsb, nsg.

CSHO

In Yr 11, he was school Maths mentor for same or lower year school mates.
I heard that Maths mentor usually came from top Maths class.

CSHO

He has several private students for medicine interviews, including a medicine student wanting back to home state.
These students are non-school leavers as NSW ATAR release date is late on JAN this year.

CSHO

Half of them are Asian and the half are of European descent.
It is unexpected that none of them is of Chinese descent.
