i thought if you got less than 20.00 as an ENTER they dont tell you your exact ENTER? (unless maybe you specifically ask? tho why someone would ask what there ENTER was if they didnt even try AND got below 20 is beyond me.) IDK for sure, im just saying what i thought...

I thought it was <30 and you call up to ask.
A friend of mine's family friend got this and called up for fun and had an ENTER of ~7... not possible / sickening >:|

Possibly....Are there even any courses at UNI u can get into with an Enter of ~30? hmmm i wonder what the lowest score that u can get is AND still get into a course at UNI. In Australia anyway.

One of my friends who got just over 30 are planning to attend TAFE. He claims he is using the 'back door'....
I was shocked to find out that with my two subjects I had beaten/equalled two of my friends :/

ENTER of 7 !! That must have been one of the lowest.

i thought there was a few courses that require somewhere in the 50's at VU and other similar places.

haha 2 subjects of yours beat all of theirs:|
how can one just not care/not try in anyway. plus i dont know how someone can even get <50 even, since if i did no work i could still manage much higher - so could most people i would assume.

I know, i wonder how you would get such a low score. And how about people who get study scores of below lets say, 16? If we follow a bell curve, the same percentage of people would receive <16 and >44! (following some VCE brochure i got)

yeah i think that's right, considering ~2.7% of people get 44+ then the same percent woud get 16 and below. it's not very many people actually. well if theres around 16,400 people doing psych one year, roughly 442 people get 16 and below.. which sounds like a lot more then you'd think :|

They were each pleased with their one raw SS of around 30. Compared to their other scores they were huge, their others were ~17-19  :-\
Horrible thing is, they were actually trying. One likes writing, started writing himself a novel, yet managed only 19 in English and Lit, I don't see how that can happen. The other, after a midyear result of E+ in Accounting, was asking his teacher if he could make 40. My school is not that bad, but somehow these people failed to understand - both the VCE system and the requirements in each subject.

It's in my profile. Though it is unlikely you've heard of it. Don't worry, that is not the norm, our median was 31 and 4% over 40 I think, bear in mind there were only 10 graduees last year and a similar number in year 12 this year. All in all I think there were 16 people taking a 3+4.
