Yeah I did Chinese SL in Year 10.  Don't think it's too common, only 3 year 10s in my year level were doing a year 12 subject.

yah she's practically won every major competition in AUS :P

There's your normal SACs, performance exam, and written exam.
wouldn't your performance exam be really subjective?
Yeap very true. Music (especially piano) is very subjective.

All the competitions in AUS are all politics, bias, cheating etc
yeah because if she's that famous, the assessor could just give high marks based on his/her prejudice (i know i would)
Lol nah ninwa is pure skill, no doubt there.
wasn't suggesting she wasn't. I was merely raising a hypothesis. :P

Yeah I am sure. If I hear of subjectivity in LOTE orals, I am sure to hear it in performances. Also, do all group members for VCE group performance get same marks?

50 anytime is a great achievement but in year 10 they must be a genius.
So each year there would be more than 50 year 10's doing a 3+4 sequence? Of course you do not actually
know but your thoughts please.

I know a few people who did Chinese 3/4 in year 10, and they mostly ended up scoring high 30s/40s.  Also a guy who did Music Group and got 44...

Someone from our school this year had their "tutor" as their oral examiner, they didn't swap rooms either.

Why's this important? The year 10's will get ranked alongside with the year 11s and 12s that are doing the same subject.

My dad taught I.T(can't remember which one) for years and just recently he was saying that he taught a year 10 kid who got 46 raw, I suppose its just another example of year 10 kids dominating vce.

Pretty uncommon but a good idea IMO.
Lets you focus on 1 subject since you can basically neglect everything else.
Same thing in year 11, possibly meaning you've been able to focus at 100% on half your subjects and then have a less stressful year12.

Yeah, I meant that it is common for them to allow that (i.e. Derrick Ha wasn't specially allowed because he was so unbelievably smart).
