Menang; My teacher actually mentioned your school today. Said she was meeting your teacher, who is also an exam
writer/marker, correct? God I'd kill for that opportunity!

My Rens teacher? Wow, I never knew he was a marker/exam writer! 0_0 I shall attempt to find out. His name is Mr John Stewart, just in case anyone is interested.

Hmm, well I can't remember the exact name, but I'm pretty sure it was a female - any female Ren teachers there? She was telling me that she's got to go down to Melbourne for a Ren teacher's convention or something where exam writes and markers all give an insight into what to expect etc. Apparently we're one of two non-Melbourne non-Private highschools in the state to do Renaissance History, so we seem to be the oddballs :)
Jarryd; It's pretty easy to find out. Your teachers should know, if not I'm sure the VCAT site should tell you. I'm pretty sure you get an extra two points for an underrepresented school, and an extra two points for a rural school. I'd say most you could hope for would be about 4 points lower, for a first round offer. Might make all the difference though :) And it might change from course to course and uni to uni, so I wouldn't take it as a steadfast rule or anything.

Really? As far as I know, Mr Stewart is the only Rens teacher - this year and last year.
There is another history teacher - Mrs (Marina) McAlpine who teaches Revolutions, but I don't think she teaches Rens, or at least she didn't last year and she doesn't this year... ?

Yes, mr Stewart has been the Renaissance teacher at macrob for at least 20 years. He even has notes dated back in the 90s
He also wrote atlases and a geography textbook.
Russ:
Yeah, the majority of Renaissance classes are at the old private schools. If you check the list of top scores, pretty much all of them come from rather well known schools. It's just because the resources are expensive and the knowledge is fairly specialised, so it's hard to find a decent teacher. My teacher had a ridiculous amount of resources, mostly because his father was a Renaissance historian so it's unfortunately a privilege thing

You might want to check this, as far as I know you don't get flat bonus points.
