Class of 2013: ATAR and Study Scores Discussion Thread

[spectroscopy]

lmao my teacher whose been teaching psych for like 15 years must be super disappointed in me and in his own score predicting abilities, got 41 with all A+'s and he told me that he: "cant see me getting anywhere lower than 45 worst case scenario, and I'm a chance for a 50"
oh i can never show my face at school again going to order a statement of marks and maybe even an inspection of exam to see where i went wrong
oh well

When the letter arrives in the mail it comes with a form you can send in to get statements of marks etc. (For a fee of course)Generally speaking they are raw scores. Scaled scores have a decimal point, raw scores are whole numbers.

Are you getting a statement of marks for Eco? I'm curious was the A+ cutoff was...

[sjayne]

I'd like to get a statement of marks too, but not sure if there's any point

I got a 50 for one of my subjects. What are my chances of receiving a Premier's Award?

50 raw? Then, likely.

Yes I'm going to get one. I'm curious also. I was actually so relieved to see I A+'d the exam, as I completely forgot my responses and hence how well I did

[Mafioso]

50 raw? Then, likely.

Yup 50 raw

[psyxwar]

Yup 50 raw

Depends on the subject really. Top 5 in a subject get it.

Opinions on whether I should order Statement of Marks or Statement of Study Score? I achieved a 50 in English and would love to know my score on the exam/ my scores for each section- do both give this information? Thanks!

To know your exam marks you want a statement of marks.

To work out how your study score was calculated e g. Find out scaling/random mathematical thing a statement of study score.

I honestly couldn't read the study score statement as it was to mathematical for me

What is GA 1 GA 2 and GA3?

What is GA 1 GA 2 and GA3?

http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/handbook/2013/AdHand2013_PartC.pdf

Section 8, Page 84 has a table where it tells you what Graded Assessment (GA) corresponds to what assessment task (Unit 3 sacs, Exam 1, Exam 2 etc.) for each subject

[chasej]

What is GA 1 GA 2 and GA3?

For most (single exam) subjects:
GA1=u3 sacs
GA2=u4 sacs
GA3=exam

Maths subjects:
GA1=all sacs
GA2=first I.e. No cas exam
GA3=second I.e. Cas active exam

Scored vet subjects=
GA1=internal assessment I.e. Sacs/pracs
GA2=written exam
Scored vet studies have no GA3

Some subjects which have folios etc. May vary. I don't do subjects which have those type of things so have no clue how they work.
