A note about asking questions about VCE scores to uni students

[xXNovaxX]

Now I feel bad about asking you...  But at least we're not chewing too much of your precious time since you can just copy and paste the replies.  

Seriously, I'm happy answering the questions you guys have!
I remember how confused I was when I tried to go through all that course info and crap that gets piled onto you, all in your most important year of school!
How I wish I could have just asked someone for an English translation of what a such-and-such specialist degree entailed... someone who could have told me what it all meant >.>"

I believe language acquisition is such a worthwhile pursuit, I'm happy to seize any opportunity I have to get others to consider it XD

And let's face it... I'm the only member on here taking a diploma of languages at Monash *and* one of only two taking Jap at a uni level (beginner level, but still )
Hopefully that will change next year, ne?

All you have to say is you don't remember in reply to a PM and that's fine I don't think many users will badger you about it.

Yeah I'm pretty sure 95+% of the people on this forum are more than happy to help and answer questions. That is why we have joined and are still a member of a VCE forum even after we have finished VCE, since we enjoy imparting our knowledge. I personally love answering questions, and i think the more you know about this weird and often confusing system they call the VCE, the better off you will be, and you will place yourself in a better position at scoring highly and obtaining the best marks you possibly can. If you want to play the game to the best of your ability, you have to know the rules.

I remember all of my study scores, ENTER score, and if i think for a moment my GA scores. The number of times i plugged scores into that bloody Enter calculator was unbelievable (I'm sure I'm not alone here). VCE was a huge part of my life in year 11 and 12 as it is in everyones, whether you are a 99+ ENTER student or a 60 ENTER student. I worked incredibly hard for my score and there is no way I'm going to forget it.

This website really is an amazing resource to use and there are some brilliant minds who are very happy to help you, so if the help is there then use it!!!

Yes year 12's, although it may be hard to believe at the moment, there is a life after year 12, however this doesn't mean you will forget the past and something you have worked so hard for. The fact that you are reading this post on a VCE forum shows that you obviously care about how you perform and want to do well.

I'm sure at the end of the day, the year 12's will be happy with there scores and I'm sure they have worked as hard as THEY possibly can.

I only vaguely recall some of my SAC marks (though I do remember getting 26/40 on a Spec SAC - that's what I get for going to see a Mogwai concert the night before and not getting home til 3am!), and I've forgotten some of my GA scores. I think I have them written down somewhere at home though. More than anything, I've forgotten the syllabi for each of my subjects Though admittedly it was quite a long time ago.

I think the point Glock is making is that current students should bear in mind that uni students can be busy and can forget things, so don't necessarily expect lots of help. Plus a little politeness goes a long way - I'm much more likely to reply to a PM asking me something politely about something that I'm an expert on than a PM that says "hey i noticed you got ** ss in ******* what do i have to do to get that?".

ね...　「Fyrefly」は日本語で蛍です。
私は女の人ですよ。　>.>

English: Fyrefly is "Hotaru" in Japanese. I'm female. >.>


Babel Fish is really fail sometimes... keep that in mind.

Example:
今、オーストラリアで春です。でも、今日は寒くて、雨が多くふっていますよ。メルボルンの天気はまたへんです。北海道の秋はどうですか。

Babel Fish Translation:
Now, spring is in Australia. So, being cold, the rain shakes today mainly. In addition as for the Melbourne weather it is the side. Hokkaido fall how is?

Real Translation:
It is spring in Australia now. But today it is cold and it's raining a lot. Melbourne weather is still strange. How is autumn in Hokkaido?

I won't reply to an impolite PM... I've definitely explained myself about that before.
I draw the line at rudeness

I think so. Can't even remember what most of the rest of the English SACs were though (oral on The Quiet American, 2hr language analysis SAC, and then three others I don't remember at all).

It's weird thinking about assessment in that form, seeing as all my assessment these days is assignments that I usually have at least a week on.

That's exactly what I mean, thanks for that humph.
