Don't give her false hopes; oh I got an E in methods and it went up to an A....oh yh...but y? cuz u owned yur VCAA exam idiot.
SACS at MHS/Macrob count for less relative to other schools bcoz the cohort lifts yu' up as they smash the exams.
And yh trust me the competitive atmosphere will get 2u unless o' course yur a super uber nerd anyway :P

EDIT: Some people r sensitive 2 language; sorry if anyones innocence was corrupted :P

You're in year 10, what makes you think you know the VCE system better than him, let alone call him an idiot?

You are wrong, your own exam mark will not lift up your own sac mark with exception to VERY rare cases. It works on the principle that even if you get 0 marks on your sacs all year, if your whole class gets an A+ on their exam, then you will get A+ A+ A+ on your end of year VCE result. But if you are last in your cohort and you get an A+ on your exam, and the worst exam mark is a D+, you're stuck with that D+ for your SAC mark irregardless.

The competitive atmosphere doesn't "get to you" either, it's just a facade created  by students who try to be super competitive.

Let's just say you can afford to make a slip up, and it is easier to get a 36-42 SS than it is at most other schools, but you will still  have to work hard to get anything above that, just like anyone else would :P

so lyk i said...the cohort lifts yu' up and thus the SACS count for less relative to other schools where you have to maintain that rank 1 as you fear your cohort will bring you down as you illustrated with yur D+ example...yu wudn't wna b last in a shit school, yu wudn't wna b last anywher but being last in MacRob/MHS is better then anywhere else.

I think you could use some respect and probably some kind of spell check

Oh, by the way, I could avoid doing R.E by going to macrob :) (I go to catholic school btw)
To me it sounds like you've already made up your mind to go to macrob  :D
Hard to change your mind once you've made it up but please just don't choose it because you hear people get uber high enters (which is still a factor), if you hate the school now thats something that will affect your enter. I think its probably a good idea though, travel permitting, especially since you say your school is a rather craptacular one.

Herein lies the problem.

a. If that's what you meant the whole time, why say anything in the first place, when it's pretty much what SRA and Taiga said already?

b. The "complexity" of your argument doesn't merit the condescending tone you've been using throughout.

ehh my bad lmao: taiga's summary was good as bolded above. A lower SAC ranking at MHS/Macrob means less then a lower SAC ranking at another school.

I'm surprised you could even process what he typed, EZ

I tried to read it and i couldn't understand it...


No really? That's 2bad then. Let me put it to you simply. A lower SAC rank at MHS/MacRob means less than a lower SAC rank at any other school. Oh yeah your point was my typing right? Well some of us can't be bothered to use formal English punctuation and grammar on a forum primarily aimed at teens. Oh well, maybe next time you could learn to appreciate the differences between people and their typing patterns :P

I didn't negative karma you because of your typing, i negatived karma'd you because you called him an idiot, you did it to me out of retribution.

Using standard english would make you more understood and lead more creedence to your argument which would of helped you, thats all i was getting at.

Anyway, yeah peace
