CLASS OF 2018!

can you pretty wear whatever you want in uni (as long as it's still appropriate)?

Pretty much!
However if you have lab classes, it is expected that you wear long pants and closed toe shoes. (and a lab coat and glasses obviously)

Yeah our school is so strict on uniform lol, compulsory tie in winter as well (we're a high performing school so I guess it makes sense to be strict on uniform)

Oh yeah, throughout the year uniform is pretty strict. Specific socks, ties, tucked in shirts, blazers and the likes. Exam period as lax tho thankfully. Is this a public school? I haven't heard many public schools being so strict except for selective schools.

Defo planning on rocking up to O-week in scuba gear, then.

That's not actually a bad idea.  You'd meet plenty of people and starting convos would be easy. 

I wear blue jeans + tshirt basically everyday at uni. No one has commented. 


& good luck for your exam!  Drink water

Definitely encorage you guys to check out the uni threads at some point and ask questions

I'm at a public non selective. Which selective school do you go to, if you don't mind me asking?

Is there a uni discussion thread on atar notes?

There is a general uni discussion board, you can find it here
There are also uni-specific boards, which you can find here for Vic and here for NSW.

All it means is that you have over 100 posts.

Every post milestone you are given a new name like that in your profile and every few milestones you are given an extra square next to your name.

Although I believe there is another post explaining this I am unable to find it right now. However this link seems to list them pretty accurately.

Is it true that we can see our actual exam we did in physical copy but then we have to tear it up afterwards or something?

I don't think so. I think VCAA purposefully does not give back exam papers. Can you imagine 10000 kids across Victoria trying to call up VCAA to argue for marks. Would be a mess haha.

So we're allowed to get an exam statement which tells us where we lost marks but not the actual exam itself?

Yeah, that's right.

You can pay to have a look at your exam, but you only get it for 15min and it has to be at your school and supervised and there’s no marking on the actual exam, just your answers so there’s no point.
