How to avoid disasters on exams and sacs?

[Ilovemathsmeth]

Ok, let's get this straight. Those are by no means my predictions for my subjects. I am aiming for those as goals. I neither expect nor imagine I'll go anywhere near them. Just for the sake of the "realism" you guys seek, I shall remove them.

If I did that I'd put 50 for everything

Agreed, m@tty

Yeah, unfortunately as seen from several people in past years. They may be the best from year 7-10 but in VCE it really comes down to more than just 'studying' a lot. Its not all about knowledge either.

Then it's about...

Luck+being able to not drop marks on exams.  People with low 40s in Methods like M@tty and myself probably know the whole course inside out; it's just being able to not drop marks on really stupid mistakes which counts in the end at the higher levels.

And agreed at your predictions being perhaps a bit too hasty at this stage - it'd probably be better to try again in a few years time.  Notably, nobody at MGS has gotten higher than 45 in Chinese since 2003, and we had two years (2006-2007) where our highest score in Spesh was 45.  It's nice to be ambitious and everything, but for the sake of realism it'd help to have an understanding of how everything works first.  :p  Of course, you're still in year 8, so being a bit "dreamy" is to be expected.  ^^;

BTW, do you have an older brother of any sort?  Just wondering.

Lol two 50's and several 45+ this year in Spesh. And if you don't want to drop marks, then develop a procedure specifically to accomplish that, rather than blindly hoping it doesn't happen on the day.

Haha yeah, kyzoo, this year's results were far above average in everything apart from Physics though.

[kyzoo]

Then let's make last year's results "average."

[EvangelionZeta]

Well, I guess we could always pull a Scotch and beat "the best year level in history" the year after it.  :p

Did you guys get full scholarship in MGS?

[EvangelionZeta]

No.  I started at 60%, and moved up to 75% this year.

[kyzoo]

0.o now you're at HJ's level

[EvangelionZeta]

^^nah, HJ's higher again because he also got an internal scholarship, pushing him to about 85%.

[kyzoo]

xD I never applied for an internal scholarship, my results from Y7-10 had tons of B's, C's and sometimes E's, the only consistent A+ was Maths.

How much is full fee?

[brightsky]

If I'm not ill-informed, something around the $20,000s per annum.
