they dont send your mark in they send a ranking.

Actually, the school only sends a raw score; from this VCAA deduces rankings. But, that is fairly trivial..

my bad, then as long as you are rank 1 or 2 you are fine
vce: english, methods, spesh, chemistry, physics, geography.

Good relative to your cohort, but maybe bad relative to the state...

true that, the chem is what im most disappointed with, i found it very easy, expected 85%+ :S
bio was ridiculously hard though, 7 marks based off a diagram of STRs -_-

meh, my methods teacher scales the sacs so the spesh kids can't lose.  i hope vcaa just looks at it and says it is not good enough.  i'll be writing them a letter once school is done anyway.

that sounds ridiculous! im most proud of my methods result because i beat all the spesh people aside from one who is a maths genius and is most likely getting 45+ in both maths :o
