Exam Remarking

[Dedicated]

In retrospect and by ninwa's answer I kinda see where the bragging started to come in. Sorry people was just trying to start a discussion kinda went off topic. If it makes people better I didn't get into my desired course (choked on the umat).

I posted a bit late Russ. My bad. Question was in regards to why people thought I was bragging.

Wait... we had a legit topic to begin with?

Not to go all "public school" on this thread, but wouldn't it be better for that 20k per car and the 1.5-2k per macbook to be spent on actual educational needs for Year 7's - 12's?

Reputation seems more important than education.

Will probably agree with you since my school's median ss was 28 and to be truthful in some of my classes I barely learnt anything (that was more due to the classroom environment though)

'Reputation seems more important than education.' I would agree with you if the school openly stated this to future students which they do not. Plus they do it more to motivate students (I know we should study for knowledge not materialistic gains)

[generalkorn12]

Then why get it remarked?

[Hancock]

If he has the chance to get a car, go for it I say. I've never heard of Isik College but I don't really agree with their methods after hearing how they spend their money.

I just felt like I deserved more for English for the effort I put in. To tell the truth when I was studying throughout last year I was actually enjoying it until my parents reminded me of the car. Added stress and made me start to think of materialism rather then knowledge. I can feel the full effect of Bruce Dawe's poem 'enter without so much knocking' now.

A 42 in Eng / 99.70 ATAR is something you should be happen with. I can see why you're asking for a remark, but you should know that after Jan 17th 2013, no one cares about the ATARs (hated these people at Uni) and you're only doing this for a car.

I can understand that because I'd be doing the same but a thread really wasn't necessary. I'm not meaning to come down on you at all, just pointing out that it does sound you thought you deserved higher than a 99.70 when people are ecstatic about even breaking into the 90s, let alone the high echelons of the 99s.

Understood it's just naturally I'm harsh on myself (works against me a lot). And wasn't planning to mention my ATAR at all at uni that would be annoying hearing others. I know this is off topic where is the science/maths library at melb uni couldn't find it . I want to see the beautiful maths books they have.

[Hancock]

I'm pretty sure the Science Library is the ERC (which is where the Science student centre is). I'm actually not too sure because I usually got to the Eng Labs or the Baillieu Library if I need to study.

Cool. I went in the Baillieu Library didn't see any maths/sci books though. Planning to study at the bio med library. Anyway will probably get all my info during O week. Thanks for the info though.
