complete loss of motivation for year 11 exams..

[Fishyiscool]

He thought you meant dentistry because  " orthotist/prosthetist " could have meant orthodontist/prosthodontist
What kind of ATAR do you need for that course by the way?

ahh yeh perhaps (tho does a 'prosthodontist' exist? fake teeth? eh anyways)
I need like... depending on the year something like 81 to 88. But there are only 30 spots and la trobe bundoora's the only uni to offer it. which is why i pedantically aim for higher!

[kensan]

Yeah it's a lot to do with the cosmetic procedures from memory, I did work experience at Dental Hospital in Melbourne.
Of course, aim as high as possible! Work hard and you should get it

[giveup]

I didn't think it was dentistry, I thought it was foot-care... "That's unusual, you want to care for peoples' feet?"
and this was kind of a simile..."well I suppose tending to teeth by putting your hands inside a person's mouth is far from delightful, and yet everyone seems to want to do dentistry." sorry for the confusion

I was about to give you some edit: consolation by saying the English exam was exceedingly easy, and then I realised I likely failed  .
It really is easy and it just acts as a quasi-trial-run, so don't worry.

How can there be a predicted ATAR score for year 11, when there is no form of standardization between schools at all?

Maybe GAT?

[trickster245]

Not all year 11's take part of the GAT

[BigFunt]

Its based on how your school has done recently.

i.e. if last year rank X got 90.

then this year they assume rank X will get 90

[kensan]

Not all schools would do this would they?
It wouldn't really be a good indication at my school lol, all the smart people aren't studying for yr 11 exams at all

[funkyducky]

Predicted ATARs in Yr 11? First time I've heard of it. Anyways, all you year 11 kiddos, no one gives a shit about unit 1/2 exams. Yeah, it's important that you've worked on the subjects throughout the year, but exam results? They don't matter. I concentrated on my 3/4 last year during the lead up to exam time, then ignored my 1/2s.

haha exactly. Once you've done your 3/4 exam, it's holidays

[trickster245]

If its based on how your school has done recently it will be biased for a lot of schools, and unfair to many students, the good students in an overall poor scoring school will not have an  accurate score,

[Panicmode]

Predicted year 11 Atar? What? The only thing important about 1/2 grades is the S or N you receive (pass or fail). None of your other results are sent to VCAA. I know our school does predicted results based off a combination of SAC marks, ranking and performance in trial exams, but that's for year 12.

[BigFunt]

yeah tahts what they are talking about

in year twelve certain courses require a predicted atar eg. UNSW med.


They use year 11 rankings in some schools, and a combination of year 12 sac rankings and shit to determine the predicted atar.

[cassettekid]

Yeah, my 3/4 was last monday and 1/2 exams were the next four days after that... I didn't bother at all.
I know that I understand all the concepts of every subjects so I figure I should be fine.
