haha it was soo easy to incorporate Bear Grylls into the Sea Life presentation. Lol just say the sea life had to make adaptations to ensure that Bear Grylls doesn't rip them out of a hole and try to eat them :P
Although I didn't write that, it would have been a good idea.
Overall it was alright, wasn't hard or easy
-
Yawn, got so bored I started to colour in the pages in pencil...
-
why bear grylls
-
Lol the examiners are probably like wth...what's with all this Bear Grylls stuff? Probably another facebook group...
-
Awesome topic selection for Bear Grylls-mentioning, although I wish the VCAA decided to do it on bears. Everyone in the exam room would be cacking themselves as soon as they saw the page.
I finished the GAT and left about 45 minutes early.
-
Btw, can you just like guess the humanities/arts questions? Do they actually count those when used to moderate maths/science subjects?
-
I hope to god i don't fall sick at the end of the year
1st piece- babbled on about how underwater animals are fun- and i was 'Bear Grylls' 1.5 pages lololol
2nd piece- wrote about how we should all be understanding nature. pretty sure i chucked in a katy perry lyric in there somewhere- 1.5 pages
Multichoice- guessed 95% of them
Finished 1.45hr early and slept/drew a picture of a girl playing a guitar.
BEC PLEASE DON'T GET SICK!!!!!!

That was very boring. I had no idea initially what we were actually supposed to do with the first essay/deep sea task. I didnt know how much to write for each one either but seeing as half an hour is recommended I didnt do a whole lot.
My first essay on the sea was pretty good, I took it seriously. My next essay I really did not care and I ended up talking about how the city is a shit place to be. I probably shouldnt have wrote shit, but I did. It was pretty much a disjointed rant about how skyscrapers draw your eyes to the sky and away from all the chaos thats going on in the streets.
MC question I didnt have an eraser so I couldnt change anything even when I realised there was a better option. Some of them was just confusing. I seemed to have streaks of D's and C's throughout the whole thing. The lady on the last page scared me.

Our school didn't let us go early... :S sooo gay
Ouch man, that sucks, I don't know why they make the GAT go for 3 FREAKING HOURS...When I left more than half the people in the room had already gawn.
At the start, the examiner guy was like "You need to complete the multiple choice in pencil, hands up if you don't have a pencil?" More than half the people put their hands up, haha.
-
andrew- im gonna stock up on vitamins.........starting.......now
-
The woman in the painting on the last page was almost Amazonian in her butchness.

LOL I said she was flirtatious xD but I'm probably wrong
I said she was formidable. Her shoulders and traps and arms were huge.
-
LOL, the GAT can't stop people from getting above 40s right? Because I probably got really low scores.
Haha, and half way during the exam, one of the examiners walked past me and accidentally knocked all of my pencils, pens, erasers and sharpener onto the floor, found it pretty funny.
and did anyone get hungry when reading about that guy sharing his sandwich? I was soo hungry during this exam.

I should have made an option E;
"Built like a brickhouse'
-
I was going to do that.
E: Has really high trap insertions
-
i picked formidable.
-
the gat is stupid, it was boring and easy.
i did so bad though i read my essays at the end cos i had forgot to and i literally corrected every line and ran out of time to finish haha, it was actually like a year 7s work. so bad >< i'll just be happy i'm not doing english though xD

second one i pretty much wrote about why i like the city
and multile cjoice i guessed about as much as you
-
what did everyone do for those political circles, arrows etc?
-
The photo of the angler fish made me think about Finding Nemo.
The most interesting thing in the GAT for me was imagining alligators trampling around the New York sewers. I guess they're hiding from Bear Grylls.
-
lawl, mine was so fail its not even funny.
are we sure this doesn't affect your enter :\
-
Agreed :P
Soooooo boring...

bear grylls doesnt live in the city.
he doesnt even live in a house

Flirtatious could have been a viable option for the last question, she was showing of a fair bit of cleavage and one hand was on her womanly part
-

my dreams are shattered.

An English analysis? Tomorrow? As if!

Mmmm pretty much guys. It's fcking stupid. Ah well, that's my school for ya.
-
What'd you say that the article suggested about urban myths?
And it doesn't really matter. It's the GAT. I think I completely failed the multiple choice, although I found them easier than last year... but they took me longer! Maybe it's a good idea to get more than 5 hours sleep before the GAT...
-

well thats the thing, im presuming the painting was quite old, and back then that amount of cleavage would be considered flirtatious...
-
Lol, my GAT seemed pretty fail, but who cares? :)

She was quite the sexy one, if I may say so.
Haha, what an ambiguous question ;)

one of our supervisors pants fell down.. lol.. every one just cracked up

Conversely, I thought it was harder :P Or maybe just coz i went out last night, was harder to think..
The maths Q's were so easy haha.. can never get the 'article' style things tho.. never ever..
Man, those articles had loads of big-ass words. How was the definition of "excorporation" in the jeans section? "The process by which a subordinate subculture makes its own culture out of the resources and commodities provided by the dominant system" Wow, that's so much simpler! :-\
-
i know man.. he was just like .. i think iam losing weight.. now i cant face u people anymore

No response. LOL

Why are VCAA so cruel...?

It's not an exam though? It's a waste of time.
Haha exactly, or she might have said exam room, or exam conditions.
Couldn't really be bothered listening to what she had to say.
-
I did multiple choice first which too me an hour and 40 minutes. Then wrote the 2 written pieces for the remainder. Was writing up until the last 2 minutes.
Soooooooo perfect for bear grylls incorporation, both topics. However, I refrained and took it very seriously.
Got to drink my protein shake too :smitten:
-
It's like VCCA wanted us to mention him, there were so many opportunities.
but I didn't mention him, not worth the risk
-
Lovin dat bathyscope.
The GAT leaves such a bad taste in your mouth. Its so draining.
-
true :/... oh.. and VCAA wants out names when we go the toilet now?
What next? They'll wanna start coming into the toilet with us..
Actually for our school, when you need to go to the toilet, one of the examiners follows you there, but waits outside. (I think.)

ewwwww what if ur loud? ahaha
worstt job xD
It's exactly the same at our school, he follows you to the door, but waits outside
Worst job? Agreed :P
-
I had to sign the paper too. I was like WTF?
Last year I thought they followed you in aswell and watched with the door open. xD They dont. Which is just as well because I went yesterday and did a long sharp sounding fart.
-
Hahah yeah fail job. They are probably all like Shotgun not! But one of them is too slow, and is like shit..
-
Hahah yeah fail job. They are probably all like Shotgun not! But one of them is too slow, and is like shit..
At mine its just the closest one to the kid who puts there hand up.
-
lolooolololololololloolololol

What if all the examiners are the opposite sex to what you are? Lol
-
one of our supervisors pants fell down.. lol.. every one just cracked up
Hahaha.
The dude in-front of me doesn't give a shit about school, i know him, he showed up not only without a pencil but he didn't bring a pen either. Hand up, head examiner comes, can i have a pencil? sure...can i have a pen? you didn't bring either *strange look*
Yeah, they waited outside the door for us last year but this year it was just write down name.

didn't he come inside with you? Lucky you
hahahahaha
-
Ours had no idea what they were doing.....
The guy said start reading and then 2 mins later the lady yelled at us and said no reading
-
My GAT was very boring, nothing happened, we did start our reading early because we didn't have a clock until a while into the GAT.
I choose the one about Cities being a disaster, basically 5 pages of rambliing about our dependance on technology and loss of culture, and if there was an apocolypse we would all be screwed. I also threw in my Bear Grylls in stating that we don't even know the most basic of Survival skills as stated by Man Vs Survivor.
The Ocean one I took seriously.
Did anyone else need a second script book? I have no Idea I could write so much...
-
LOL oh yeah our room had 2 clocks, but one was faster than the other.
Too bad they went by the slower one.
-
Well, i had 4 supervisors managing my school exam. When you had to go to the toilet, you had to take your VCAA number with you, they hold it, follow you, COME IN WITH YOU TO THE TOILET, but you go into the cubicle and do it there. I'm a guy, and when there is a 40 year old lady following you, that is NOT cool. Yes, i did do a devastating fart followed by a long diarrhea due to a bad stomach ache, but hey, she followed me, so she suffers too.
What made it even worse was that i was sitting in the corner in the room, and which supervisor was right next to me? yep thats right ^^;

HAHAHA, nice one...a 40 year old examiner? Pretty much all of the ones who come to our school are like 70+
-
lol @ the gravimetric analysis question after chem exam
-
Mmm I saw how to wrote the 1st piece almost immediately after looking at all the marine material. So i wrote 4.5 pages on that. Then the 2nd essay I had no ideas of what arguments to put forward, so I wrote 2.5 pages of absolute rubbish.
Then multiple choice I finished in like 60 minutes.

How did you write so much!? I thought I was doing well getting a 1.5 pages for the first one, and 1 for the second...
Im going to use the 'i have small writing excuse'...
So glad that's over though, I'll never have to do it again!
Our supervisor was practically never in the room, because she was always taking people to the toilet.
-
i almost had to ask for another booklet for the first writing task, but decided that it was way too much effort so cut my essay short. just fit it in haha. so much material is given and i felt obliged to include the majority of it.
the second piece was very sloppy, started to get over it after the first one hah. just wanted to hit the multiple choice!
i actually didnt hate it too much, i got to leave after 2 hours and went and got kfc so it wasnt a terrible day overall
