GAT RESULTS COUNTDOWN!

[Jdog]

gr... i'm pretty sure our mailman just doesn't bother rocking up on mondays, was meant to get Bio statement and GAT today, gotten nothing yet

with statements I faxed mine on friday and didn't receive it.

I rang VCAA they said they sent the first batch off today, so we can expect them tommorow maybe

man, GAT results are stupid. A comparison between my 2010 results and my 2011 results would indicate seemingly random results:

                                        2010   2011
Written Communication     34       50
Maths and Science             41       37
Humanities                        50       36

THIS MAKES NO SENSE! My worst score became my best score and my best score became my worst score and none of them are indicative of my study scores. Derp?

^ I believe bazza's talking about "statement of results" whereas Jdog is talking about "statement of marks"

35 Written - got 44 English
44 Maths/Science - this is actually kinda accurate
36 Hums - what's a humanities subject?

LOL

[illuminati]

41, 44, 36
Two sections same as rohit, i feel special

[Romperait]

Written Communication - 35
Mathematics/Science/Technology - 50
Humanities/Arts/Social Sciences - 50

...ok. :| Very proud of my English score now haha.

Don't who was marking my GAT but they must've been high when they marked my humanities areas, 40? really?

(As in, that's high, not being arrogant and saying it should've been higher )

Edit: after 5 attempts my post finally posted, "some posted blah blah blah"

Has anyone actually needed to use the GAT for a subject before?
I heard that the derived score is still quite a bit less than if you were to do the subject...
How exactly does it work if you get a 50 in written communication, could you expect 45+ in English as a derived score then?
Any experiences??

Yes. Yes. Yes.

They also take into account SACs, if you performed poorly in SACs then you might not get that high, but if you had A+ SACs then yes.

I believe you are referring to the Multiple Choice marking machine being "high". It must be a Mac.

[Menang]

Is it true that the GAT affects Literature directly?

I heard it from a friend

It it seems to be true because my friend didn't try, and was expecting 40+++ for Literature and got a lot less, and I was only expecting 38-42 for Lit and got a 44 (but I did really well in written communication gat)...

Had to get a bio derived in 2010 unit 4 exam. GAT results were fortunately high (something like 49 in science), but I beat my derived in the actual exam. they definitely also take into account SACs and they may consider Unit 3 exam results and even teacher opinion (which seems really subjective and unfair since your teacher might just look at your trial exam results to give an appraisal). the reality that it is possible to do better in the actual exam shows that the derived score may not account for your disadvantaged circumstances.

Edit: having trouble with indented quoting (new to this forum,  ), can anyone show me how?

Standardised Scores
Written Communication                    40
Mathematicas/Science/Technology   40
Humanities/Arts/Social Sciences       40

So I'm the SAME FOR EVERYTHING! How does that even make sense? Maths is my strenght and I suck at english.

But top 9% for everything sounds pretty good to me

[TonyEcon]

Maths/Science etc: 44
Humanities: 28 -> I did four humanities subjects, got 50x2 and 45x2...
Written Communication: 38
