im just skimming through this topic and have noticed that the subject of VCE timetables has shifted to setting goals to what is the most spoken language. Everything links!

Yeah but the US has a population of 300 million, whereas 15% of 1.1 billion or whatever China's population is is only 165 million.

Hmmm....

"The countries with the highest populations of native English speakers are, in descending order: United States (215 million),[23] United Kingdom (58 million),[24] Canada (18.2 million),[25] Australia (15.5 million),[26] Ireland (3.8 million),[24] South Africa (3.7 million),[27] and New Zealand (3.0-3.7 million).[28] Countries such as Jamaica and Nigeria also have millions of native speakers of dialect continua ranging from an English-based creole to a more standard version of English. Of those nations where English is spoken as a second language, India has the most such speakers ('Indian English') and linguistics professor David Crystal claims that, combining native and non-native speakers, India now has more people who speak or understand English than any other country in the world.[29] Following India is the People's Republic of China.[30]"

Because it seems as though I will have Spec and English on the Friday, then Biol and Further and Spec on the Monday...

Ouch?

For those who care, my VCE coordinator spoke with VCAA and I get the following special consideration for the Monday where I have 3 exams:
-I can pick what times during the day I sit the 3 exams, even though I still have to sit them in the same order. There will be a supervisor who follows me all day to make sure I don't cheat!
-I get 10 mins extra writing time for each one of the exams.
-I get a derived score for the last exam (Spec Exam 2!) assuming this derived score is higher than the score I actually receive.

So, even though my timetable is shit, at least VCAA is giving me a little bit of help!

Although I don't envy your position, you have got a pretty decent deal. An extra 10 minutes could be really useful, especially if they make an exam that people struggle to finish.
