Title: Handing in reports
Post by: mankay on December 11, 2009, 07:11:31 pm: For UMEP applications (and all, i presume), we are required to send in our semester reports. Do they just want the grades for each subject (from each semester report), or also any comments that go along with it?

My letter said to send both Semester 1 + 2 reports. Does this include unit 1/2 exam results because they were given to us separate from our report.

What? Then how do they know the legitimacy of these? Do they check the school to make sure?

Yeah photocopy your entire report. You probably should include your 1/2 exam results too (in my year, each exam, SAC mark and other assessment had a separate grade and was on the same piece of paper). If unsure, ring the university for advice.

One other question, when they receive our study scores, do they see our Raw, Scaled or both. I'm wondering as my raw is pretty bad, but my scaled is pretty good, so I'm thinking of additionally sending the scaled score as well.

Post by: minilunchbox on December 14, 2009, 11:40:57 am: I'm pretty sure they'd see the Raw score since scaled is only used to calculate your enter score.

Post by: m@tty on December 14, 2009, 11:42:30 am: Yeah, Raw scores go to unis.

Post by: mankay on December 14, 2009, 02:27:52 pm: Hmm thats worrying as I only got a raw of 39 for methods, scaled to 44-45. Do you think i will get in to UMEP maths? Should i send in the scaled score too?

Post by: minilunchbox on December 14, 2009, 02:43:59 pm: My sister got in UMEP maths with 36 for methods. I think you'll be fine. :)

Same here. However, i'm sure the UMEP people will understand, and in addition to that, the last day of the strike is tomorrow (or so i hear).

Post by: minilunchbox on December 16, 2009, 09:42:56 pm: The postal workers are on strike so there hasn't been any mail sent out today and possibly tomorrow. Anyway, I'll just hand in my semester 1 report in tomorrow and explain. It should be fine.
