Well in years 7-9, I did the science and maths competitions and the highest I got was a distinction in year 7 for science.
But, I did a Geography competition in year 10, and I tied first place with some guy from Caulfield Grammar, whose dad was a geography teacher, and I was an average student from Shepparton.
So, we had to do another 50 question test again,vying to represent Victoria in a competition in Brisbane, to win a prize, which was to represent Australia in a geography competiton in Vancouver,Canada.
Well, I got 48 questions right, he got 49, ****ing spewing because the trip would have been all expenses paid.
I did it, but haven't got the results back yet
Got in the top 5% in year 8, then top 50% year 9(surprise surprise I had THE WORST maths teacher that year) and top 3 % last year. Stuffed it this year I think!
