Before my sister did it(Psych) I had only heard of Derrick Ha.
I was wondering how common it actually is.
-
polky did it as well, I have never heard of anybody doing it at my school since I've been here (6 years)
-
never heard of it, would that mean ud have to do units 1 and 2 in yr 9
-
Schools which have accelerated programs often do it...a few of my friends did.
never heard of it, would that mean ud have to do units 1 and 2 in yr 9
They'd choose a subject which they could skip units 1+2 for, such as psych, bio, accounting etc.
-
I know someone's sister that did Chinese 3/4 (forgot which but it was either second language or second language advanced) in Year 10 and bet everyone else - I think a raw of 40
-
Ninwa (on this site) did a 3+4 in year 10 and got 50...
So, yeah, definitely go for it if you like the subject/think you'll enjoy it :)
-
Wow crap, that's pretty tank

really? Btw, how does instrumental exams work?
-
yah she's practically won every major competition in AUS :P
There's your normal SACs, performance exam, and written exam.

wouldn't your performance exam be really subjective?

also, is ninwa adminsslave?

Yeap very true. Music (especially piano) is very subjective.
All the competitions in AUS are all politics, bias, cheating etc

yeah because if she's that famous, the assessor could just give high marks based on his/her prejudice (i know i would)

Lol nah ninwa is pure skill, no doubt there.
-
Yeah I did Chinese SL in Year 10. Don't think it's too common, only 3 year 10s in my year level were doing a year 12 subject.

wasn't suggesting she wasn't. I was merely raising a hypothesis. :P

Yeah I am sure. If I hear of subjectivity in LOTE orals, I am sure to hear it in performances. Also, do all group members for VCE group performance get same marks?
-
50 anytime is a great achievement but in year 10 they must be a genius.
So each year there would be more than 50 year 10's doing a 3+4 sequence? Of course you do not actually
know but your thoughts please.
-
I know a few people who did Chinese 3/4 in year 10, and they mostly ended up scoring high 30s/40s. Also a guy who did Music Group and got 44...

Someone from our school this year had their "tutor" as their oral examiner, they didn't swap rooms either.

Why's this important? The year 10's will get ranked alongside with the year 11s and 12s that are doing the same subject.

Wow major corruption. Cheating out on hard workers like you TT.

My dad taught I.T(can't remember which one) for years and just recently he was saying that he taught a year 10 kid who got 46 raw, I suppose its just another example of year 10 kids dominating vce.
-
Pretty uncommon but a good idea IMO.
Lets you focus on 1 subject since you can basically neglect everything else.
Same thing in year 11, possibly meaning you've been able to focus at 100% on half your subjects and then have a less stressful year12.
-
Hailebury lets you do Year 10 3/4s.
-
hence Derrick Ha
-
hence Derrick Ha
Yeah, I meant that it is common for them to allow that (i.e. Derrick Ha wasn't specially allowed because he was so unbelievably smart).
-
ahaha yeah; but how many schools do offer 3/4's in yr 10...?
my school doesnt let you do 3/4's in yr 11 unless you have various teeachers recommendation --'
-

It doesn't matter, but it is unusual so we are exploring it.
-
My friend did Vietnamese FL through VSL/saturday school and got low 40's. And I know a few year 10s who are doing Chinese SL 3/4 this year, but also through saturday school.

I'm pretty sure that there are year 9s at our school doing 3/4 Chinese this year...
-
hence Derrick Ha
Yeah, I meant that it is common for them to allow that (i.e. Derrick Ha wasn't specially allowed because he was so unbelievably smart).
Actually (as a Haileybury alumni), doing 3/4s in Yr 10 is not actually common, particularly for maths.

Oh...I have a friend who did Methods Yr 10 Haileybury so I thought it might be common

Yeah, there's occasionally like a singe digit number of students doing 3/4 Methods in Yr 10.
-
Yeah, there's occasionally like a singe digit number of students doing 3/4 Methods in Yr 10.
The year I did methods we had two year 10s doing it - one of whom ended up beating all the year 11s and 12s who did methods that year, did spesh in year 11 and got 46 and was "disappointed" with that score (o.O) and ended up duxing the school last year lol.
If you're good at it there's no reason why your school wouldn't let you help boost their median study score :P
-
More baffling was a guy at my school who did Spesh in year 9 and then Methods in year 10. Vice-versa would be reasonable (albeit freakish), but why would you do the harder one first? >_>

They allow that at your school???

Taylor Thor gg pr0
oh that guy, that's exceptional circumstances...if you write a textbook while at school you basically have rights to do whatever subjects you want whenever you want lol..
-
Ah yes,
Taylor Thor. I remember reading about him last year in The Age (the education section that appears every Monday).
I also feel a little bit sorry for him because he's practically got no Maths subjects left for him to tackle epically own in VCE.
EDIT: Had to cross out "Taylor" because it was inaccurate. lol
-
(his name is Thor, not Taylor :P) I went to primary school with him. I remember being in "Advanced maths" with him in year 5 - the rest of us were struggling with year 10 level stuff while he cruised through uni-level questions -_-)

I wonder if that's in any way correlated to him having an aptitude for Maths... :P
