Stupid policy. English should be moderated better somehow. Too many flaws in the system. It does well to moderate harsh sac markers and easy sac markers. BUT TI DOESN'T HELP AGAINST RETARDS. MY TEACHER GAVE A GIRL A HIGH A+ AND HER ESSAYS HAS THE WORD "I". I BELIEVE ETCE ETC ETC ETC. GOD DAM IT MAKES ME ANGRY THAT I HAVE A RETARDED TEACHER. IN ONE INSTANCE I WROTE A PRE WRITTEN ESSAY WHICH MY TUTOR SAID WAS AWESOME. MY TEACHER ACCUSED ME OF MAKING EVENTS UP IN THE NOVEL. YET WHEN WE HAVE CLASS DISCUSSION I MAKE THINGS UP IN THE BOOK ALL THE TIME AND HE SAYS "GOOD INSIGHT", YET WHEN IM NOT BEING RETARDED HE STARTS ACTING MORE IDIOTIC DEN USUAL. I DOUBT HE EVEN READS THE TEXT WE STUDY, ALL HE DOES IS STUDY GUIDES. FFS I HAVE TO INCLUDE PAGE NUMBERS OF QUOTES FOR MY ESSAY AND IF I DON'T HAVE THEM I GET A BAD GRADE. WHEN MY WORK GETS CROSS MARKED I GET AN A+, OR AT WORST A (I KNOW BECAUSE OTHER TEACHERS TELL MY SISTER MY MARKS WHILE THEY ARE CROSS MAKING). IF THE SYSTEM WAS SO GOOD WHY AM I IN THIS SITUATION ( ON THE VERGE OF FAILING ENGLISH). Well thats my rant.


Lol relax mate, take a deep breath... I hate my english teacher too, she practically does nothing, and expects us to prepare SACs and the exam on our own, we had no SAC preparation this year. Well anyways all i wanted to say is that my teacher is one lazy cow, all she does is apply her make up and read magazines in our classes... Ahh i feel so much better saying that lol

Maybe you're not as good at english as you think.

If you are, you'll get a good exam mark, and your sac marks will count for shit anyway. Problem solved.

I have been investigating this mystery, and I cannot find an answer. But don't worry, I will be upgrading the forums after VCE. I will most likely buy a professional software package which will be utterly spiffing. Hang tight until then. :)

BTW does the sacs really count for 50% of your study? Are the rumors true that if you don't get an a average in your sacs you get a low 30?

Well I didn't read this essay, for all I know it could have been very good. There isn't actually a VCAA rule that says you can't say 'I believe'.

Like I said, the exam will even it out, if you really are being treated unfairly. if.
