Lol at massive variations. Actually bothered finishing the multiple choice this year. But wtf I wrote about Goku and Vegeta's pursuit of power and self-actualisation in year 11 and did significantly better. I guess examiners just enjoy having a laugh o_O

Sort of used to determine derived exam scores (but tbh sacs are more important)
Sort of used to determine your cohort's scaling (but tbh exam performance is more important)
Sort of used to as a back up check if you did much worse in your exam than expected by your gat results (but tbh your teacher's predicted exam grade does the same thing)

And no, your individual performance on the GAT will have very, very, very close to no negative impact on your study scores.

Haven't the faintest idea what I got in 2012.
Say, since the standardised scores are out of 50 with a mean of 30 and an SD of 7, aren't they sort of like study scores? I think my GAT scores belong in the paper tbh

My letter hasn't arrived yet. But what I can see from the variation of results from year to year in some people is just what a sham this test actually is. (I.e. It's prone to lack of effort and just distorts SAC mod bell curves for most subjects because of it).

The standardised score compares the result to how the rest of the state went in the GAT and gives a score that follows the bell curve thing VCAA use (mean of 30, sd of 7).

He definitely did a 3/4 subject. And probably didn't wag the GAT. Knowing him, it's probably just an attempted at a lighthearted joke.

Although now I'm really curious as to what you get if you wag the GAT. Or if you intentionally write something completely unrelated to the prompt and answer C to every multiple choice.

not sure... the standardised score sure seems like a study score equivalent type thing, but as far as I know (which isn't much), they count for nothing (well very little). i.e not much to do with your study scores

...unless you're getting a derived exam score etc.

Information about it here http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/pages/vce/exams/gat/index.aspx It's a standardised test in June with two writing tasks and a stack of multiple choice questions on general knowledge stuff. You don't need to do extra study for it, just to rock up and do the exam. Everyone that does a 3/4 subject needs to take it.

From the VCAA website:
Quote
The VCAA will use students’ GAT scores as a basis for:
contributing to statistical moderation of school-based assessment results
checking the accuracy of examination marking
calculating the Derived Examination Scores.
The GAT is mainly used if you can't do an exam because you're extremely sick or injured etc. to derive an exam score for your SS. Other than that, it doesn't really do much. It can ONLY approve your ATAR but it would be marginally.

Secondly, it's comforting that with such a low score in the essay part of the GAT, I could still get my study scores.
Next time someone says that the GAT matters (excluding derived scores), I'm going to stare at them.

I put hardly any effort into the multiple choice this year because I wanted to focus on doing well in the written communications part, since that was the only part that would affect my English score. Last year I got a 50 for MST but only a 28 for the written communication.

It is used to help make a DES if you need.  Helps break ties for premiers awards. Used to double check exam marking.

I doubt anyone likes the GAT and personally I think there are far better options than the GAT but the fact is 3/4 students are meant to sit it and for 3 hour of a year it can only help you so you might as well try your best.

On a serious note, I never got a letter with my GAT scores? How do I find them out?

Are you sure? It comes in the mail with your statement of results which goes to whatever postal address you wrote down on the VCE subject enrolment form thingy? You should contact your VCE coordinator so they can check what postal address you have put down as well as contact VCAA to make sure the thing wasn't lost in the mail.

So the GAT is basically like the NAPLAN test?

More or less.

Very happy with the Written Communication section - felt confident after the GAT. A little disappointed with the Maths, although some of the questions I had never encountered before (maybe this is usual for a GAT, I'm not sure). The Humanities section was solid enough, particularly considering the complete lack of teaching of those topics in our school.
