To anyone who sat the 2012 English exam, were you gender-specific when referring to the child in the first slide of the language analysis?

The kid sitting with her back to the pile of books?  ???

Yep with "her" back to the books...I think I said he at one point :/ Shouldn't get penalised though, as I definitely said child as well.

What ATAR's are you blokes looking at/received?

I'm looking at roughly 66 for Primary Teaching at Australian Catholic University. Ideally would love a 75.

What ATAR's are you blokes looking at/received?

90+ hopefully :p

[elephants]

Yeah, I guess it only matters until you get into your course but I'm hoping for 85-90.

Haha, I've seen that! No comment :-X.

Good luck to all those year 12's with exams.. Went through it last year. Came out on top :P If you guys seriously need any tips for Methods, Spech, Chem, Accounting (ESPECIALLY ACCOUNTING CAUSE IM PRO AT IT), just give me a PM or post it here and im sure someone will figure it out

Had one uni exam today. Oral Health Science B. Easy :P

Can't remember what you went into as you had an interview at a Uni for Dentistry I think.

My outdoor Ed study score was only 37 :P

You've already beaten my Highest Raw from last year which was English at 36 :P. Still managed 87.55 so proves you don't need 40's to get a solid score :).

[elephants]

I'm not sure I get this.

What's the 30's and 40's thing about?

[Windigo]

I'm not sure I get this.

What's the 30's and 40's thing about?

Isn't that the score you get per exam. Then it's all added up into one final ATAR?

[elephants]

Oh okay. Well I'm lost, maybe I should lower that target ATAR of mine :P

[Windigo]

You live in WA yeah?

What do they call the certificate over there?

[elephants]

You live in WA yeah?

What do they call the certificate over there?

I do, its called WACE

[Justin Bieber]

Ah... Forgot you lived in WA. The scores are up to 50 in VCE is a study score (ranked for those who do the subject) which include your Sac marks + exam results. Getting a score over 40 means you got into the top 7% of the state doing that subject, score 45+ means top 2% doing it.

Why you got some people saying scores like that in here.

[Windigo]

Right. Not sure if you've heard/used it but this is a pretty handy tool that can determine your final score.
