All 3 Maths Counted in Top 4?

[luken93]

So there's a lot of confusion as to whether all 3 Maths can be counted in Top 4?
I remember finding some info in a VCAA/VTAC publication stating that all 3 couldn't count, but our teachers reckon they can?

So does anyone have any written proof that it does? I'd like to prove them wrong hahaha

[InitialDRulz]

I remember seeing somewhere that only 2 counts towards your study score top 4, not all 3

[m@tty]

You can't have all three in the top 4.

Can't find the evidence though at the moment...

Quote VTAC:

In each of the study areas of English, mathematics, history, Contemporary Australian studies, information technology, LOTE and music:
at most two results can contribute to the Primary Four
at most three results can contribute to the ENTER, be they VCE results, Extension Study results, or VET results.

You can have a maximum of:
2 maths subjects in primary 4 + 1 maths subject in the other two subjects that count

What was quoted earlier appears on page 8[page 11 of the pdf] of VICTER 2010, second last paragraph on the right:

Aaahhh that's where it came from, I knew I had seen it somewhere.
Hahahaha suckers, they all think that all 3 are going to count, so glad I didn't do it!

[luken93]

And to confirm, it is still the same for my year (Yr12 2011), so I don't think that it is changing any time soon...

[m@tty]

Nup, won't be changing anytime soon. See the last comment on this response, to the same question:

The restriction to a maximum of two mathematics subjects in the top 4 is still in force, and as long as I am on the committee that produces the ENTER it won't change. – Rob Hyndman

[jammaj]

you can for the ATAR.. not the ENTER

[ghadz7]

So does that mean I can't have both spesh and UMEP maths counted to my bottom 2?

[m@tty]

Correct, sort of( You really think that after scaling Spec < Methods and Further? )

Anyway, your lowest maths will not count at all. There is a maximum of three to count toward your ATAR, with only two allowed in the top four.

You should have warned me earlier, you were gonna fall for the same trap of 4 maths! I doubt Spesh will get boosted much this year, at least it is following a trend of decreased scaling. Moreover, the exam was straight forward and I did many silly mistakes. I'm pretty sure many others will ace it...

[m@tty]

Oh, I thought you knew at the start of the year. >.< Sorry.. =S

Only reason I backed out of Further was because it was going to be boring.. I was actually happy for one of my maths not to count (I was really hoping it to be Methods..).

Is it still going to be methods? Don't let me down matt
