What does GA01, GA02, and GA03 represent?

Pretty much just a title question, does anyone actually know?

GA stands for graded assessment - so exams, sacs, sats etc.

What each GA stands for varies for each subject. For example, GA1 could be sacs, GA2: exam 1, GA3: exam 2. Or for another subject, GA1: exam 1, GA2: exam 2, GA3: sacs. Or perhaps GA1: Unit 3 Sacs, GA2: Unit 4 Sacs, GA3: Exam.

There might be a better list of this stuff somewhere (possibly in the admin handbook), but I've just been looking at last years grade distributions to figure out what each represents: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2010/statssect3.html

yeah figures, it would just be good to know what each one specifically corresponds to. If anyone knows for sure, i'd be delighted to find out

thanks though

Here's the list in the admin handbook (knew it was somewhere in there!): http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/schooladmin/handbook/2011/AdminHand2011-PartC.pdf

Starts from Section 8, page 85 onwards.

edit: actually where did the 2011 handbook go on the VCAA website :/ there might be slight changes for a few subjects next year.

edit 2: found and updated the link, still same page reference.
