probably a bit early, ive only finished 2 subjects myself...but still, its looking unlikely im going to get the ENTER i wanted -_-
how's everyone else going?
-
No way due to stupid english language.
-
probablly won't get the actual ENTER I originally wanted, but i'll go close (hopefully)
wanted 87.. however, after the further maths MC exam my hopes dropped drastically... it basically all comes down to IT and business..... I need 40+ in both of them, otherwise i'm fucked.
-
I have wanted 85+ i think its going to come right down to the wire for me. That means Media exam. No pressure at all lol
-
I did have my TOP LIMIT sight of 94 but now I rekon ill get around 87 or thereabouts. Tommorrow will make or break me
-
I used to dream of a 99+ but this year I've gotten a lot more realistic - it's just way beyond me given that I'm not a genius by FAR and I don't do massively scaled subjects! So I've readjusted my aim to a 98+, which at this stage I believe is probably achievable for me, with one exam (Revs) to go. I've finished ranked either 1st or 2nd for SACs in all my subs this year, and bagged a H1 in semester 1 UMEP. I made at least 2 dumb mistakes on my Bio end of year (plus at least 2 dumb mistakes in the mid-year lol), but I well and truly exceeded my own expectations in Eng Lang today....so fingers crossed :) Gotta study hard for revs though! If I had to do the exam tomorrow I'd probably be screwed!
-
hopefully I will lol
-
i want an 80 !!!!
im sooo pumpedddd for it!
-
Wanted 95+, but now that I stuffed English up it doesn't look promising. Depends if I can redeem myself by getting at least 32 in Methods and 35 in French. Otherwise, probably looking at 93 - 95. SIGH.
-
wanted 97 but bummed out on specialist and english wasnt so great, not looking good at all, im depressed
-

same. Wanted 95, but it's very bleak. At least have SEAZ lol
-
Same, want 95.. but it's looking very sketchy.Given up completely on one subject and am pretty much banking on three subjects where I've put all my effort.
-
Wanted 95 as well, atm it looks fairly meh. Still a possibility though...
-
I want 92, and I've only done one exam so far, so for the time being it's still a realistic goal.
-
I wanted 95+, still on track (so far)
Chinese SL will make or break me.
-
Wanted 98... Now be lucky to get above 95. Stupid psych exam - was supposed to get 45+ in psych! Things don't happen right :S
-
I want a 91.2, i think i will land somewhere between 89 and 93 but still too early to tell.
-
No way, I am so screwed now because I was gearing up to get over 40 raw for spec so I could get 50+ scaled, but that is not going to happen anymore :(
Also screwed up english, so BOO.
-
Fucked Accounting today so I don't know how bad I'm going to get ENTER-wise now :@!!
-
(http://www.writhingdeath.com/music/Emo.jpg)
-
is that a girl?
Or just an emo?
-
bhahahahaha that looks fucked.
-
I need 85. Besides my Physics SS aim, and maybe economics, they all seem doable.
It's an awful time to get sick, though. :(
-
I DEMAND THAT PICTURE BE TAKEN DOWN!!! I DONT GIVE PERMISSON FOR PEOPLE TO POST PICTURES OF MY AND POST THEM ON THIS FORUM WTFFFFFFFF :@
-
Wanted 92. (Need 81+ - the higher the better).
Gone well so far. English did better then I expected. Accounting not in Primary 4 but did well. Methods tomorrow unimportant as well.
All comes down to IT (A+ in sacs) and Legal (A+ in sacs).
Super prepared for IT.... have no idea for anything in legal. :) yay! haha.
-
The emo pic definitely captures the overall mood of this thread :P

The emo pic definitely captures the overall mood of this thread :P
The emo picture pretty much encapsulates my negative mindset right now.
then again.... at least everyone else feels the same way- i thought i was the only one.
-
Doubts are starting to creep into my mind now as well, about my ENTER :S
I'm trying to make myself stop thinking about what I wrote on my exams so that I don't discover any more silly errors and beat myself up over it for days and weeks...but it's tough blocking the thoughts out!

Same here. I feel really sick all the time now, worrying about my ENTER :(
-
lol
i nearly thru up before thinking about my accounting exam, but went over it and dont feel ASSS bad anymore
-
Was hoping for 96, would have been happy with 93-94.
Now...i doubt i can even get 90 :(
I don't really care about my enter anymore, there's not much difference between a 80 and 89 to me, either way, i cant get into melb or monash.
Stupid 4 digit number :P
-
I'm particularly stressing about my Biology SS...my teacher has been wonderful this year and he has very high hopes of me hitting the high 40s...I wasn't thinking about that as I did my exams, but now they're done, I keep thinking about how I made some dumb mistakes which may really affect my chances of that dream score. I really don't want to let my teacher or myself down :(
-
haha well ive only done one exam!
and i dont have another one until next thursday....
so, i hope english was ok enough to keep me on track for media/comm at melb :)
but is there anyone out there who can possibly beat my timetable (in terms of it being so bad!) ??
-
^ Bad timetable, in what sense?
My total exam timetable was/is November 3, 5 and 13, plus a small rather insignificant UMEP one (30 multi choice in 1 hour) on Nov 20. So I'm considering myself a free person as of November 13 ;D
-
in the sense that my chinese oral was 6th oct, french oral 20th oct, eng 31st oct
12 day break!
then pol and revs within an hour of each other on the 13th nov
french 19th nov
chinese 20th nov
:S
verrryyyy spread out
-
Oh golly gosh...pol and revs within an hour of each other sure is tough! I have revs too, but that will be my final one. And wow you do 2 LOTEs 0_____0 I'm passionate about foreign languages, but my speaking skills are terrible compared to my writing, so I didn't do any for VCE. In hindsight I would have done Latin though...no oral, I love it, massive scaling!
-
tell me about it! is that not the most stupid vcaa timetabling ever??
shame that u didnt do any LOTEs if u have a passion for them...yeh esp latin haha, all u have to do is rock up to the exam and you'll get 50!

Hmm....i think i can ;D
Fri 10th Oct Chinese
Fri 31st Oct English.
Mon 3rd Nov Further 1
Mon - Specialist 1 (1.5 hours after further)
Tue - Public holiday (my only weekday off)
Wed - Further 2
Thurs - Accounting
Fri - Methods 2
Mon - Methods 2
Tues - Specialist 2
Thurs 20th Nov Chinese 3:00pm- 5:15pm
I pretty much have an exam every single day from the day we had english (with 2 on one day)
Including a week with 5 exams.
And i don't get to finish until the LAST vce exam on the last day :(
Its spread out cos it goes from 10th Oct to 20th Nov, but WAYYY too clumped together inbetween
not to mention i have 10 exams in total :P hahaa
Does my timetable beat yours? :D
-
ouch
yeh i think you come in at the other end of the scale: overloaded.
you must be exhausted atm!
but then heaps of time to study for chinese so thats ok
still, i have a 12 day break and then two humanities subjects on the one day...
but what can you do?
how are u feeling for chinese? new format and all that?
-

shame that u didnt do any LOTEs if u have a passion for them...yeh esp latin haha, all u have to do is rock up to the exam and you'll get 50!
Haha precisely...best scaling in the VCE system! Well, my school offers German and Chinese. I'd been doing French since primary school, but I would have been forced to do it through distance ed if I wanted to keep it for VCE. I'm teaching myself German at the moment, but I only picked it up in 2004 and found the 3 genders and all the cases exceptionally difficult to deal with, so it was a big no-no for my VCE. And Chinese - well I'm a native Cantonese speaker whose family is from Hong Kong, so I speak Mandarin really badly, and with a terrible Cantonese accent...which the Chinese assessors would no doubt have absolutely HATED. I would have only been classified as a SL student though, since I was born in Canada and only did kindergarten/preschool in HK.
Yeah I find it stupid too, because many people who do pol would be doing revs too >< all those humanities subs. Lol I love humanities...there's less of a problem with difficult vs. easy exams, as compared to the maths/sciences.

Yeah unfortunately there's nothing i can do about it.
At least i'm now at the end of my busiest week.
I was falling asleep when i was studying today lol.
And yeah...i have lotssssss of time for chinese...a bit too much haha.
I'll always be wondering if i would have performed better on my exams if they were a bit more spread out, giving me a rest inbetween and some extra time to study (cram :P) lol
But uhhhh...chinese...new format?? ???
Please explain..... :(
-
just how there is the new translation section this year
-
:( i didn't know about that...lol
Might read up on it once i'm done with all my other exams then
-
no stresses its fairly straightforward
and means that there is less marks towards the listening :)
but yeh...you have the time!

mmm true...but then there are heaps of arguments for the humanities vs. maths/sci debate.
u do revs yeh?
how u feeling for it? which revs are u doing?
-
no stresses its fairly straightforward
and means that there is less marks towards the listening :)
but yeh...you have the time!
Damn......i like listening!!
Listening to chinese and answering in english right?? :(
Awwwwww.
I like anything that doesn't involve chinese characters lol!
I can only speak and understand it, but cant read and write :P
-

Yeah, I mentioned somewhere else that having Revs following Nat Pol is ludicrous, as so many ppl are always going to have that combination. It would be akin to having Methods and Accounting on the same day.
-
To scumel - yep, I'm a revs kid :) We did the Russian and French Revolutions this year...using the Russian Rev textbook written by my teacher, and the French Rev text written by Dr. Adcock, the revs teacher at our Caulfield Campus. Lol...royalties much?! ;D
I'm a little worried over the French Rev, especially the essay. But I'm pretty happy with my Russia knowledge. What about you, which revs did you do?

there is still listening in chinese and answering in english
and listening in chinese and answering in chinese but its worth a lot less marks
the translation section requires you to directly translate sentences or paragraphs into fluent english from chinese characters :)
-
Hehe, sorry to break up the conversation. :P
Not looking for my desired ENTER at all! At the start of the year, I was subconsciously thinking 'yes, 95, 95... I can get it!'. Mid-year, I wasn't much different, as I had no mid-year exams, and hence, felt no real stress about it. Then, I had my Italian Oral... And everything just went downhill from there! English was not really any better... And after specialist, I felt like killing myself! Methods tomorrow will probably be no different, and now I am just hoping for the 70's (even though it won't get me into any of my courses :'(). So all hope is practically lost for me...
-
this is in response to both bubble sunglasses and JL_91:
chem is also on the same day i don't see why that couldnt be in the afternoon session...
ahh well
is richard malone your teacher??? lucky! and yeh i think ur school just might be rolling it in from the revs books lol
we did france and russia aswell and obvs the same sections for each (Russia for A, France for B?)
bit worried about the essay too, mostly with timing. other than that though hopefully it will be ok, just need to consolidate my historians perspectives a bit more
-

dw we have got off track, i shall start a new thread
and good luck for methods, im sure all hope is not lost!

Yup he's my teacher! Hahaha yeah they sure are raking in those royalties :p but they're good books so they deserve to be used, definitely. And yes, Russia for A, France for B is the plan for us too...I'm hoping I can buy myself at least 45 minutes to do the essay in. Half an hour isn't realistic for a slow writer like me. Ugggh and yeah you've just reminded me that I need more perspectives too!!
-
Yeah, lucky devil for having one of the hallowed trifecta of Thompson, Malone and Ryan :P
-
thats awesome :) my teacher wrote a book for the year 11 course but, she's still on her way up in the historian ranks...
agreed they are good books, love the random facts haha good for a giggle
and also agreed half an hour is rather challenging. i just hope the paragraphs are alright so i can get them out of the way cos i usually go a bit over the lines otherwise...
-
yeah, maybe, hopefully
-
Meh.
Kind of.
-
JL_91 may i ask, what was your study scores for methods and musics.
p.s.(solo)
-
Yeah, lucky devil for having one of the hallowed trifecta of Thompson, Malone and Ryan :P
LOL hallowed trifecta...who's 'Ryan', and which rev is he/she an expert on?

who's your teacher? I'm sure since she's a writer we would know her! LOL ha those random facts...he's into those for sure...he's updating the Russia text right now and he asked our class to contribute some.
ugh i'm really hoping we don't get a really obscure, challenging topic on that essay! >_<
-
penny evans, she's still only young though, awesome teacher though
true. although we had a practice essay "authoritarianism saved the revolution", so i figure if i could manage that...well, fingers crossed
since 2005 the vcaa topics have been pretty similar though i think
but given the 'hard year' so far, anything is possible!
-
JL_91 may i ask, what was your study scores for methods and musics.
p.s.(solo)
sorry but it's my and my family's preference not to reveal my individual study scores - i will most likely reveal my final ENTER score in the end, out of my own choice, but we came to that decision in the middle of last year because of far, far too much nosiness from my classmates (particularly in the methods class because I was ranked #1 in SACs and all of a sudden everyone just 'had' to know what I was getting etc. which made me very uncomfortable). They were not genius-level scores, but I was happy with my maths score, and fairly happy with my music score.

awesome subject + awesome teacher=:D
haha we had that topic in one of our practice exams too.
eeek what do you mean by 'hard year so far'?!?!!!!!
-
well im only going by what other people have been saying
but it seems that in general the exams are a bit tougher this year
-
ahkai is cool :)
-
thanks for understanding :) I had this girl in my meth class who wouldn't quit asking me about my marks until the beginning of this year, which annoyed the hell out of me...i can't stand people like that, who can't respect someone's personal choices and privacy.
well im only going by what other people have been saying
but it seems that in general the exams are a bit tougher this year
I don't think it's possible to generalise across all subjects. We had an easy Biology mid-year exam, for example. So, the best way is just to go in knowing our stuff so we can KILLLL the exam :D
-
this is true :)
-
lol yer that's like someone in my legal class, i guess she's very competitive with rankings and all that. ahhwell uni is what matters/
-
^ yep exactly the situation and why she kept bugging me - it was either me or her for the year-end #1 SAC ranking according to everyone's guess - the teacher refused to tell us to prevent this exact kind of tension/competition that eventually flared up anyway. Haha i hope that person in your legal class gets off your back then!
-
oh ya don't see her no more, thank god! except for this wednesday (legal exam). :P anyway goodluck with your exams!
-
wat u guys recon il get witha 30 further, 32 bus man, 42 drama, 50 systems engineering, 34 english, 38 pe
-
50 SYSTEMS NICEEEEE. amm use the ENTER calculator. But i'll guess, 93.
-
91.7
-
If you're talking about raw scores, then probably around 91-92, which I calculated according to last year's scaling report. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.
-
WHAT A GUESS. i said 93 without even thinking, am i good or what?
-
^ LOL what a psychic
-
hmm im not sure, i just want in the 80s. my english n psych exam have been my strongest, lit and biol were shit and pe will most likely be shit for me too. but ive had good sac marks all year, so i think i can still get in the 80s, guess well have to see come 15th december!!
-
^ you have done pretty much all the same subjects as me :D
Good luck with them all!
-
meh, I'm doubting that I'll get the 85 enter I desire...81 seems definite though :S
-
meh, I'm doubting that I'll get the 85 enter I desire...81 seems definite though :S
if you got A's on both your mid years i think things will be promising for you!
-
meh, I'm doubting that I'll get the 85 enter I desire...81 seems definite though :S
On the same boat with bucket. I need like a massive score in chem end of year or methods exam 2 now.
-
Yeh i need to kill media exam to get my desired 85, i reckon i'll get 83 tho
-
ENTER: 0.05 HERE I COME :D
fuck man. VCE is such a pain in the ass
-
I have this 'feeling' that I'll get 90
-
ENTER: 0.05 HERE I COME :D
fuck man. VCE is such a pain in the ass
LOL does anyone know someone who has actually gotten a 0.05 ENTER? :S
And I agree....absolute pain in the ass. I hate when I've studied hard all year in a subject, just to be fucked over by the exam in the end... :(
-
I set myself an aim of 99.95 this year and i am very much on track thankyou very much.
I have studied 6 hours a day consistently for 200 days in a row and i have peaked.

If you get an ENTER of less than 30 you get a 'less than 30' as your ENTER. So effectively everyone has got at least a 30, provided you haven't failed VCE

Last year, almost half of my school had gained the coveted title of 'less than 30'. Most looked at what they really got, others didn't care, and got jobs. The lowest from my recollection (and we are not the best public school around) was 4.35. Yes, an ENTER, not a study score. It never ceases to amaze me how one can get such a score? Maybe they just write their name on the exam and go to sleep??? Who knows?
-
heh
No. Not a train time. Not a cross-country time. Not an enter aggregate. An*enter* :P

Yeh same thing at my school i expecting the lowest enter to around 6-7.
-
Fuck, I've crashed and burned so bad these exams. Really really not looking forward to December 15th now. Fuck, its hindered my ability to study for my upcoming exams cause I feel super depressed after underperforming in a vital exam this week.
-
i cant be bothered studying for pe i hate the damn subject aaaaahhh....need motivation.....

ur in the same boat as me. first exam i was hyper about. after walking out i was CRUSHEd . i managed to put it behind me so i went again. super high and everything...
now iv just given up :(
all i need is 84... and i couldnt even do that :(
-
My favourite two subjects are last (IT and Legal) so I haven't really crashed yet, cause I didn't really study for my other 3 that much.
English went well.
Accounting went well.
Methods I did 0 work for... and got owned! :)
Dw people, nearly all over!
-
well, the year started out as aiming for about 97, then when i realized i had no self discipline and couldn't study less than a week before exams so that 97 is now probably going to be about 92, which is cool because i only need 86 for my course at uni

haha good work!
The year started out I didn't know what I wanted.
Now I want 90 lolz. Need 81. Good times :)
-
Always wanted to get >90, which conicidentally is the required ENTER for my course so yeah.
I like to think I'm on track. But it really could come down to the wire if things don't fall right, depends on afew key subjects.
I really feel my score hinges on further and whether I get 45+...
*fingers crossed*
-
^how much do you reckon you got for both further exams?

mate i feel for your VET sport and recreation. Must've been tough looking at the scaling. SEVEN!
-

Err 38/40 then probably 57+/60. I dunno where that puts me. (Maybe 45?)
mate i feel for your VET sport and recreation. Must've been tough looking at the scaling. SEVEN!
Haha yeah. To be honest when I picked it I didn't really have a grip on how VCE worked with subjects etc. I knew it got scaled down afew but really had no idea how it compared to other subjects. As soon as I learned how bad it got scaled I just tried for around 30 scaled(which I got) to put as my 6th subject.
Serves me right for not researching shit properly though.
-
i cant be bothered studying for pe i hate the damn subject aaaaahhh....need motivation.....
I HATE IT MORE!!!! It was way better in year 11 :(.
I haven't looked at a P.E. book all year and don't plan to get started now =_=.
Funny though because I beat the schools average for the subject in the trial exam :P
I think the only studying I will do is that hour or so between the P.E. and Methods exam :P
-
its just so hard studying for it cos i hate it so much, i am so screwed for this exam!!! and it was sooo much better last year!
but i have a shit class and a teacher who just watches videos on his computer, and a shit text book (i hate you live it up 2)

-

Pretty much 100% in everything (SAC's and exam). Since this subject is considered 'easy', more people will get full marks in it, and even losing 1 mark could drop you from a 50 to a 49 or 48. I sincerely wish you good luck trying to achieve this! :D
-
My aims are a little unconventional, not exactly an ENTER score because it's so easy to get into UoM anyway. I wanted 100 combined in methods and spec after scaling, I think I might fall a point or two short. Second aim was to beat my sister in english, because she is doing Journalism so it would feel good to know im better at english than her, should achieve this aim. Third aim was to beat friends from my old school at psychology with only studying for 1 hour the day before the exam, should have completed this. Didn't really have a goal for physics. Anyway I guess my ENTER aim is to get above MHS median, looking pretty good.
-
well i think i'll only get about 82 maybe 83 now. I hate the subjects i chose, oh well i just want it all to be over now
-
question ppl.. with a straight medium range B+ B+ B+ wat would i be looking at for a raw study score?? and does it matter wat subject its in??
-
^
Around 35-38 I think
-
thanks...
-
Back on track after IT.
Just Legal left.
38+ and it makes Primary 4. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
93/100 for Unit 3
85/100 for Unit 4
What do I need for 38?
40?
:) ty! haha
-
^ if for legal then i'd say for 38 you would have to get high A to low A+ or for 40 you would need low, mid or high A+ depending on your ranking.
-
I think I'm still capable of getting the 92 I want.
Though, I have one quick question: how important is your ranking within your cohort, and does it greatly effect your ss?
I'm first in Philosophy and Lit, equal first in English Language, about third or fourth in Revs and around the middle for Meth.
-
yeh, does position in class or even ur sac marks get edited or effected in any way?
also anyhere wanna guess my ss for pe, 92 outv 100 sym 1 88 outv 100 sym 2 and a high A or low A+ on the exam?
also has any1 got an image of the bell curve or know what percentage gets 50, 49, and 40 please.
-
your position in your class is important. This is because if you're ranked first, then when you class does their exams the person with the highest exam mark becomes your SAC mark. The second person will get the second highest exam mark as their sac mark and the third the third highest etc.
-
ugh so if the dumasses in my drama class hapnd to flook an an awesome exam mark better than mine, me being highest in the class would then be reduced to whatever sac mark he got!? how can u compare an exam mark to sac marks wen the exam is worth 25% and sac marks are worth 40%? so if i got 95 outv 100. the person with the highest exam mark will steal my 95??
-
that has got me so bloody confused lol so i could have gotten D's all year and then just beat my class in the exam and i woulda gotten all A+s for my sacs then lol sounds too good/bad/stupid to be true
-
no, the ranking of your exams isn't what determines your sac score. it's your ranking for the sacs that does.
eg: you are #1 for sacs in your cohort. but you get an exam mark that ranks as the 5th best or something. you still get the highest exam mark in your cohort as your sac mark because you were ranked #1 for sacs. get it?
anyhow, back OT...im not confident about my predicted further and esl scores :( which sucks cuz i had to get 45 in bm as it is, now its like i need 48. hopefully im underestimating my predicted scores, especially for esl.
-
Yep.
I'm hoping my whole class killed IT now.
For example:
I'd prefer to get 46 and be 4th in the class
then
get 43 and be first in the class.
I use to look at it as 'I must be the best in class, (ranked like 5th) , but now see the light ;)
-
huuh, uve still got my head spinning and i really wanna get what u mean.
so since im first in drama and first in systems engineering for sacs, if i get the 4th best exam result in those 2 subjects what will happen to my sac marks and my exam result and are u 99% sure about this?
-
the best exam mark will be your sac mark, regardless of where you are ranked in your exams. your exam result doesnt change.
-
it's cruel.. especially if you haven't really tried for your SACs throughout the year like me :(
-
Interesting thread to read now that we're here:
http://vcenotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,3032.0.html
-
wat so if i finished with 39 outa 40 for sacs and i get the 5th best exam il prob end up with like 32 outa 40... which means ive wasted my whole year trying my ass off and should have just tried for the exam?????
-
I want at anything above 85 or 85 itself will make my day a very happy one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'm actually expecting/hoping a higher ENTER then what i wanted at the start of Exams.
Then 95 and i would be happy, but now following Further and Legal really expecting 98+
-
ok heres another hypothetical just to try and figure out how the sacs work,
say you were ranked round 3rd-5th for sacs but got the highest exam mark, how does that work for ur sacs then?
does ur exam mark go to whoever was ranked 1st for ssac but in a way it disadvantages you??
ahh its so confusing!
-
EVERYONE NEEDS TO LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. I think I'll get 75+ now. I only need 75.00 to do BSc at Monash but its a bit iffy that I'll get it at the moment... I can only wait till the 15th of December.
-
i wish dec 15th was 2moro, that would be nice
-
So.. the margin by which you beat people in overall in SAC's is irrelevant, and only the ranking is important?
That seems unfair.
-
VCE SUCKS
-
VCE SUCKS
-
i wish dec 15th was 2moro, that would be nice
Unless you didn't get the ENTER you wanted. :(
-
15th december feels like a million years away
-
Less than a month now... I'm dying. :(
