'Excitedly urgent call for action' got me a 10 for lang anal. Truly happy I attended vate
hahaha. I ditched the "excitedly", Chris Lee seemed more pissed off than excited haha. I'm most worried about my english score, since it has to be in the top 4 it's really freaking me out. Didn't re-read any of my essays so they were probably littered with mistakes too. I don't think Caruso's tips could have saved me. There should be a warning for all people attending the VATE lecture. If you get session B, ask to be swapped or prepare to face the devil...

Supposedly ATAR.
Yep, ATAR this year. Only a name change though. Apparently in the future, they will no longer make English part of the top 4. Unconfirmed though.

Yes and horses will grow wings and fly us all to pluto where we will live happily ever after.

LOLOL!


But seriously, I doubt it.
I would be highly surprised if that happens.

It won't happen and why the hell do people want it to happen so bad? Just imagine if English wasn't in the top 4, no-one would study for it and Asians [generalisation] would rule the ATAR with Methods, Spesh, Chem and Physics/Bio/Psych in their top 4 as 50 50 50 50...personally I want English there.

Just a thought, but maybe those people who want it are those people who do Asian 5. I sure as hell don't want it. English not being in top 4 will ruin my ATAR.

The English Top Four Rule isn't in place because of some stupid stereotype.

Some kid decides that they will tell someone else that someone told them English is no longer compulsory and it spreads fast.

the "english not in top four" situation can work both ways
beneficial as it emphasises the need for english to be at a suitable level for university students
bad as it disadvantages students who have english as a second language.

the only solution i would see for introducing a non-English top 4 would be for universities to place higher prerequisite SS in english, so that students don't completely neglect the subject
