Explaining to my mother that I will be tutoring English, Business Management, Legal and Accounting next year... the first thing she says is
"didnt you fail accounting though?"
*akward pause*
... um mum, I got I got in the top 9% in the state...
mum: "ohh...."
I think she thought I failed because I did shit on exam 2
-
LOL
It took me hours to explain to my parents how vce works.
-
lulz, ive been there
-
my parents think i got 88%...for psych
-
My parents thought my ENTER score was 82.75% (they rounded it off to 83%). They thought it meant I got 83% across all of my subjects (even maths :P). They were like 'can you get into law at Monash with your excellent average?'. If only parents had a clue how the system worked. :P
-
My grandfather thought I got 99% average on my exams. lol
-
my mum just told my grandma that i 'did good' to save any confusion that giving my score would provoke.
lol
-
my dad thinks that a 70 ENTER is a Distinction lul
*hopes to get over 70 next year*
-
LOL
-
Hehe, remember those books 'XXX for Dummies'? They should have 'The VCE System for Dummies'. Then our parents can understand everything there is to know on the face of the planet about VCE. :D
-
for a moment there i thought you meant xxx as in "porn for dummies"
-
My father thinks that 98.4 is 'really close' to 99.95. I choose not to correct him.

goes to show ur into porn :)

LOL why would you?
-
Ah my parents still don't understand what an ENTER score is, so I don't bother... they still think I got below 70 lol ... so anyone who asks they say "Oh she did alright, she got into accounting" then they glare at me >_>.
-
I cbf explaining it to my parents cause they keep geetting it mixed up with the QLD system which my bro did..

My parents think a 50 in physics is shit.
I agree with them

-

study score

okay you can stop trying to get others to say how your wrong and 50 is the best(which it is and i'm puzzled to why you would say that). We know, you don't have to be so arrogant and how about be thankful.
-
ok i'm sorry.
won't do it again.
but wht did u mean about thankful? ???
-

well rather than say "look how shit, a 50" in PHYSICS, be grateful that you actually attained such a score and for the mathematically inclined brain you have.
-
okay!
that makes sense now.
-
okay!
that makes sense now.
btw congrats, fantastic score in a subject i find impossible to achieve well in.
-
for a moment there i thought you meant xxx as in "porn for dummies"
haha, when I read your post I thought of the other type of dummy

Grr... What else do I use instead of XXX then? That's the only way I can say something that doesn't mean anything... (Yes, nobody got that...)
-
LoL I can't blame my mum for not knowing much about the VCE system, but it does have its awkward moments...
When I told my mum I got 48 she was like, "aww... where'd you lose those those 2 marks?" Then she asked me if I wanted to repeat Methods, because she reckoned I wouldn't have a chance to get 99.95 without a 50 in methods (not that I have much of one anyway). :P

Nawwww!
My mother wouldn't know that a study score of 50 was a great one... she'd think it was 50% LOL
When I got my results for arabic, I told her I got 45 and she just slapped me across the face! >_< She thought I got 45% for arabic... So I tried to explain that 45 is actually a good score, but she doesn't believe me <_<
-
i rang up to tell my grandma and she goes "i'm soooooooo proud of you!"
"grandma, do you know what the numbers mean?"
"no but i'm so proud of you anyway"
a couple of days later i'm talking to my cousin who got 41 as an enter, and she goes "i called up grandma, i was like crying, and grandma was like OH I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! THAT'S SUCH A GOOD SCORE! and i was like....grandma...i did shit"
she then proceeded to tell me i'm making her 41 look bad :P
-
lol at thread title
some people at my school thought that grades were all that mattered, like, if you got an A+ it wouldn't matter if you got 80% or 100%
-
my mum still doesnt understand the system, rather she just said you gonna fail uni....
how nice >.>
-
ok i'm sorry.
won't do it again.

my dad thinks that a 70 ENTER is a Distinction lul
*hopes to get over 70 next year*
BAHAHAHA
well my dad thinks that the ENTER is a percentage (like the whole thing is one single percentage grade)

That's how my parents think it is. Over every exam, your ENTER is the average. Like, 82.75% in one subject is similar in the rest... Lol :P
-
haha, my parents did the "study score of 50 = 50%?! WTF DID YOU DO?!?!" thing too. :P
I'm more annoyed about when I tell people I do arts, several people have been like "what? you draw?!" >_> I'm so sick of explaining what an arts degree is!
-

Grrr... Why is that such a misconceived generalisation? Drawing is only a minor aspect of Arts. The wider variety of Arts is what a student really learns to appreciate and all of the diverse elements of Arts is what makes it so unique! I wish I took up a double degree in Law/Arts (like you Nina :D), so I could show my creative flare to the wider society and make a difference. ;)
Arts is NOT only about drawing!!! :D

Uhhh... Arts isn't so much not only about drawing, as not about drawing at all. That would be Art.

The 's' adds something special. :)
-
lol, that's quite funny. 'Arts' refers to the humanities and social sciences. You can still show off your creative side, but not in an immediately obvious way as in art...
-
Art & Design perhaps?
But back on topic; my dad surprisingly knows a lot more about VCE than I credit him for
-
why must they even call it arts?
couldn't it be called wizzles or something totally independent from all stereotypes?
-
bahahaha wizzles!
"oh hey I'm doing a bachelor of laws and bachelor of wizzles"
that's brilliant :P
-
bahahaha wizzles!

Hahaha! You'd get some interesting responses then ;D

my aim for vce was to get 50 in a subject but it never materialized. theres just something magical about getting a 50.
what was your highest? it must've been close. An ENTER of 99.70 requires high study scores regardless.
