Mid years.

It's actually not illegal, in that case, the teacher has no obligation to keep your SAC marks private, it might be improper, but improper things and illegal thing are completely different.

That's all I know from my (very limited) studies of Law - which I have to do for Med

At the end of the day, it probably won't be good for the students self esteem.

[paulsterio]

I agree with you there, it's not good for the student's self esteem and there are a lot of other associated issues as well. I'm not defending what the teacher did (I have no opinion really) but I just wanted to clarity that

[charmanderp]

If you're going to be disturbed by a poor mark, I suggest you just don't look at your result.

Very seriously considering this. However at the same time, it would feel like not playing with a full deck of cards. Depending on mood, an A could be heart breaking or motivating. Indecision sucks lol

Depends on your character. Personally I'm an bit of an obsessive compulsive perfectionist so I'd strive to get full marks in my unit 4 exam no matter what my Unit 3 score. I think it's about putting the past behind you and saying to yourself 'from this point onwards I want to make the most of my capabilities and do as well as I can, no matter how well I've done in the past'.

I think that's a good philosophy to have with regards to SACs also. When it comes to exams, forget about your SAC score and aim to be proud of the fact that you did well in the exam which tests how far you've come that year, not only academically but personally.

I'm not going to look at my results, but at my school the Chemistry teacher has a tendency to announce everyone's SAC and test marks and read them out in order.  So I'm pretty nervous about that, like she's been approached before but continues to do it.

helloo.. confidentiality, someone in your class should bring it up straight away if she does it.

MY TEACHERS DO THAT IN METHODS!  well, they announce the top 3ish, just to provoke competition i think, and it's SO ANNOYING.

I'm not opening my chem results. Have already told my chem teacher to act as if I have failed and push me to work harder this semester.

I think you might eventually open to see your results.. I knew i did awful but I had to see them anyway.

If I decided not to look, I'd either burn the letter or give it to my mother or such like.

[aaackk]

Distributions will take a while.

they actually came out like more than a week before the letter grades last year haha, was wondering if VCAA had given a date thats all

[brenden]

Oh wow! Apologies, I'd har thought they'd take a while to graph it etc (VCAA laziness)

[DiMennzzaa]

lol at people who chose not to look. take it like a man. In 50 years time this wont mean jack chit

^ It doesn't even matter now.. It stopped mattering as soon as we walked out of the exam. Unit 3 Chemistry was finished forever at that point.

I think it still matters, your performance, whilst that may be over, can dictate how you study for unit 4. For example, let's say you felt you did poorly in one exam, then you can decide to just let that one be in your bottom 2 and work really hard for your other subjects.

It may be easy to say "It stopped mattering as soon as we walked out of the exam", but it's important to think of the implications of the performance, and using it to improve yourself and design a strategy for the end-of-years.

[spongebob-7]

how do we get our result, like is it a letter home or does our teacher tell us

I think the implications of the performance are definitely an individual thing. I myself could not care less about my marks in Unit 3. Unit 4 is a brand new, fresh start to make the most of opportunity I have and try to maximise my mark.

That's just me though, I understand not everyone is like this.

Letter to your school and they'll give them out during school Letter grade only.
