Good Luck for the GAT!

[Chazef]

probs been asked a million times before but is the GAT only used for when you miss an exam or does it have an effect on subject scaling anyway?

for that question with the family in the car I said 'conventional and self-contained' and 'be remote from it'

struggled with question 20, said the casino reference was based on HFT firms requiring good luck

screwed up Q28, said the police/fire gave their patience fewer medications that paramedics

my understanding of casinos is that they have the odds in their favour enough so that over time they will end up profiting, even if they lose a bunch of money to some random. probability pretty much ensures that they'll always come out on top. the thing with HFT that i got from that extract was that it works by going for little profits not risky, larger tradeoffs, and as a result ends up benefitting in the long run. that's why I chose 'guarantees profits to operators'

Did anyone else's stomach sound like a dying whale by the end of it?

I ate sooooo much just before the exam to avoid this. 2 bananas, 1 milo bar, milkshake, packet of biscuits, a lot of water in like 2 minutes.

I didn't like Writing Task 1. So boring! LOL...

Did anyone else feel really cold in the GAT? At our school, it was FREEZING!

[Chazef]

yeah I thought the same thing but the mentioning of casino AS FAR AS I REMEMBER was in a sentence explaining that the operators didn't understand the actual workings of the algorithms and therefore it was more about luck to them than strategy or some SHIET.

How I felt about the GAT:
Whoever guesses the most right is the smartest.

Direct quote from my GAT for the second writing task-the topic about old people retiring:
"what would you rather? Spending your afternoon sinking a few cold ones or being stressed over the appraisal deadline?"

[RKTR]

for writing

task 1 i wrote 2 pages
task 2 i wrote 1 page only.. no ideas..

[silverpixeli]

Oh that's the other thing, it only took me about 70 minutes to do all of the MC questions so I had about an hour on each writing task. I nearly filled a booklet :')

[LazyZombie]

Ugh have to do it again next year ew

My essays were terrible

[NeutrinoNinja]

Ugh, I felt so uninspired for the writing part. I like old people so I wrote nice stuff xD
The multiple choice was okay I suppose. But some of that art analysis was just...
T_T

How did everyone go with the US space program questions?
I just... couldn't find the height of the seat above ground...
And I feel like there was a way. But all I could think about was how much food I was going to consume once they let us out.
