The GAT doesn't really matter, does it?

Well some uni's now in particular Monash are looking at the GAT as kind of like an extra requirement. Like if there was one position left for your course and they couldnt seperate 2 people based on ENTER they will look at the GAT scores and choose based on that.

are you serious? I circled C for the last 30 multis and didnt answer one essay cause I wanted to leave early...

I've been told for the past 2 reasons the only way the GAT is used is if you miss your exams/sacs due to some sort of extreme circumstance. that better be true lol

I don't plan to miss my exams...and if I do and it really is an EXTREME circumstance, then I'll just do the exams again the next year... if it really is something that serious

Doesn't matter how bad you do in the GAT, your SAC marks will never go down, they either the stay the same or go up.

Guys if I didn't do biology I would've had no idea how to even begin the first writing task
I went on about adaptations and tolerange ranges ahahaahaaaaaaaaa ily bio.
And I chose the cynical prompt about the destruction of society, and basically criticized society about everything
(Y)
Except I found the multiple choice questions really weird..... I guessed a lot of them !
especially the spinah question and the one about business inputs and outputs or something (wtf!)

So, what you're saying is the GAT can ffect your SAC marks? Oh my lord.

Since so many people don't take the GAT seriously, it will really probably enhance the scores of those who did.

but that benefit can only be employed if one misses there exams due to an unforeseen emergency

I have mixed feelings about the whole entrance to Uni with GAT as a pre-req. It's good to test people's ability to tell left from right, not just mechanically memorise chemistry bs etc... which I think is most important. But using it as something for a uni to use an entrance criterion - not so good because everyone treats it as a joke, as this thread shows. Changing that attitude won't be easy...

I disagree, publicly announcing that the GAT will be used in university entrance will get a lot of people worrying and trying harder on the GAT
