the GAT's a joke... as memory serves, i got 33 for written communication in yr11. wasn't a very accurate predictor of my english score  ;D
Title: Re: When do we get GAT results and how do we find them out?
Post by: melanie.dee on December 18, 2007, 03:41:43 pm
my gat scores were better than my actual scores haha.

43 in maths/science.. 27 in methods anyone?
Title: Re: When do we get GAT results and how do we find them out?
Post by: Eriny on December 18, 2007, 04:10:03 pm
Written Communication: 47 (last year I got 35 and I got 44 for lit this year, lol)
Maths/Science: 43 (last year I got 37 and I only got 33 for methods)
Humanities: 43 (I got 46 last year but I got 44 for eco and 50 for psych)

I'm really surprised about written communication. I thought my argumentative essay was really good, but my Antarctica essay was absolutely awful. I also thought I'd get a bit lower for maths and a bit higher for humanities.

I got 3 questions incorrect for humanities and 3 incorrect for maths and I end up getting a 43 for both. Yet, I lost 5 marks for the written communication and I got a 47. How does that work?

I'm not looking foward to doing it all over again next year lol.

Something you'll understand in methods next year.
It means basically the scores are like a bell curve, mean is 30, 68% are within 1 sd (23-37), 95% are within 2 sd (14-44), 99.7% within 3 sd.
Basically the exact same way vce raw scores are :)

what does the gat do exactly in terms of affecting scores?

i got 48, 48 and 50 in the gat, and my enter/subject scores were quite higher than i expected. did i just have low original expectations or did the gat really make a difference?

Title: Re: When do we get GAT results and how do we find them out?
Post by: Odette on December 18, 2007, 09:41:30 pm
The gat is acts as an insurance policy, just in case your exam results are much lower/higher than your sac scores (by heaps) then the vcaa looks at your gat to see what happened... or if you cant for some reason attend an exam they can use the gat and your sac scores for the subject to derive a score for you...

Hope that helps :)

Just being a bit nitpicky here, but they also check if your scores are much higher or lower than your GAT scores, as a double check.

Written communication: 34
Maths/science: 45
Humanities: 38

Lol this feels so weird because im doing so many more humanities than science/maths! o.0 hmm maybe i should consider doing spesh n all the sciences now XP n for the written one, i just hope they didn't take into account that I'm ESL because im relying heavily on it to get a good study score - hoping for 45+ >.< (except if my school has marked me too leniently and sucked up to me too much, i should get at least a 40 i reckon)

Written Communication: 26/40 = 36
Maths/Science/Technology: 33/35 = 45
Humanities/Arts/Social Sciences: 26/35 = 35


If only they were reversed with my actual study scores. Makes me wonder how I would do if I had picked specialist maths instead..

Mine was waaaaaaaay higher than I expected. Can't remember all my results from last year, but I think I got 42 for Mathematics. This year:

Written communication - <13/40 = <20
Mathematics/Science - 34/35 = 48
Humanities - 31/35 = 41

I got a lot higher for written communication last year, no clue what happened this year (I think I became lazy :idiot2:)
