If you suspect that something's wrong with your scores, appeal no matter what! There's a chance of a better outcome!

I calculated her ENTER, and she DEFINITELY did not get in the 65-75 range. I think VCAA did not count one of her subject scores as part of her aggregate (that's missing out on an entire subject!). She should get roughly 88 tomorrow. :)

Without a doubt she will be, i just calculated her aggregate and it equates to just over 88 :)
I'm furious at VCAA for such a major screwup, causing angst and grief. They apologized so profusely last year over the screwup in Methods and Specialist and that only altered the ENTER by a mere fraction, but in this case we're talking about a WHOLE subject being excluded, and that can mean in excess of 25 ENTER points being miscalculated. Disgraceful.

Wow, first appeal of a FSNer :)

I know the VTAC fkd over Odette. Simply not fair, I couldn't comprehend the fact that plenty of 40s and some 30s could yield a 65-75 range :o

88 is a good score, it opens up many opportunities in universities

Maybe we should start protesting against the VCE. That mistake is absolutely despicable. It also calls into question the validity of all results.

No, even though the mistake is despicable, VCAA does maintain and produce results to over 45,000 students, they are bound to make errors, no matter how extreme, and there's nothing we can really do about it.

Odette, if your aggregate is wrong, then you definitely have grounds to fix your ENTER score. If it goes up to the high 80s range, that is a great score. 65-75, like Eriny said, isn't bad, but yes, for someone like you, you deserved more.

Your parents are in the wrong, and I have no respect for them in the way they have treated you. In times like these, you have to pull yourself up, and realise that you are serving for your interests, and ignore your parents for the time-being.

If your ENTER changes never come to fruition, I would advise against repeating VCE. Pathways through university are a much more refreshing route, and will relieve you of the nightmares that you have faced this year.

Good luck for tomorrow Odette! I hope everything works out for you.. You so deserve it....more than most in fact.  :)

I would resent this because I believe a lot of people deserve their scores.

Ok... so can someone explain to me how VTAC stuffed up Odette's score?
I think I was the first one to question her score a few days back. It just didn't add up.
Odette... couldn't you see something was wrong?
