Exam clash and derived score

[werdna]

I've got an exam clash with two of my subjects, coordinator is saying that this will be sorted out by VCAA. He also said that I might be able to get a derived score for one of the subjects, saying that last semester one student had 3 exams in one day (and 2 clashing) and was able to get a derived score.

So does anyone know what the go is with exam clashes and derived scores? What does VCAA actually do when they deal with exam clashes? Thanks!

Don't they use your gat score? unless you think you did well the gat i'd be pretty scared cause they estimate far off :S

A derived score because you have two exams in one day? I don't think for two, considering many people with midyears had two in one day. For three it seems plausible.
Yeah you need to contact VCAA (or were meant to a while ago).

If you had exam A and B clash, you do exam A, 1 hour break where you are supervised by VCAA, then exam B.

I suspect the reason the other guy got a derived score was because he couldn't do 3 exams on one day and would have gone home overnight and thus couldn't be allowed to do the 3rd one. I doubt you'll get a DES for a clash, you'll just do them in separate sessions but wait in a supervised classroom between them

Well isn't that just hunky dory. I have all 6 of my subjects on the same day. Will thy get a derived score too?

By the way, what is the GAT? Such is life.
