English - Just reading for now :(
Spesh - Chapter 2 of Essentials
Methods - Done about 1/4 of book so far (so boring)
Chem - Yet to start (need to though)
Physics - Still going over yr 11 stuff I didn't ace (maybe one week left)

Will work a a bit harder after Ashes is over ;)

Wow, you're so prepared. Change that to:
2011:
English Language 3/4 (50), Chemistry 3/4 (50), Physics 3/4 (50), Specialist Maths 3/4 (50), German 3/4 (50)

If there's anyone who can get 7 50s, you're the one to do it! :)

7 50s and a 5.5 in uni chem ;)
Which gives him 99.95 and a very high aggregate!!

yeah light stuff same here for me.
reading just for now and printing exams today! then i should be able to work from there. I have to buy display folders for resources and exam papers one for each subject! :) and i shall do some stationary shopping haha oh what fun! :D new stuff (Y)

Who needs to print off exams when everything's electronic these days! you could be saving the environment instead!

I'm poor I care about the environment too much, so I'll just keep using my stuff from last year. :D


im cheap, so I sold all my books :) and i reuse all my display folders, etc. so im using my newly bought/given second hand books.

Haha good to be environmentally friendly (Y) :D

@AzureBlue, swarley and pi: Get real!!! OK fine, it is possible for me to 50 one or more of physics, chem and spesh. Hate to disappoiint you, but to 50 englang would be extremely difficult for me, but I guess it's possible (maybe a 71-72/75 in the exam would do it?) and to 50 german is definitely out of my scope, seriously. Mark my words, I'd be struggling to get a 40.

@luken: Spesh - I wouldn't separate spesh into "unit 3" and "unit 4" because it's a maths subject with no two clear "units." I would say go through as much of the textbook as you can, and use VCEnotes or others for help.

Chem - just get the whole thing over and done with! It does take a while for the concepts to be processed by your brain.

OK, I guess my real aims are straight 50s, but putting that on sig would sound cocky, but here are my most likely scores:

Englang - 45 (47)
Spesh - 48 (51) --> just two careless mistakes will do that
Chem - 49 (49.4) --> will lose a mark somewhere
Physics - 43 (45) --> if fuzzylogic can't get over 43...
German - 39 (47) --> scaling saves me here...
UniChem - 5.5? --> i'd better hope so

Agg: 208.4

Hold on - that gets me 99.95...surely this can't be right

OK let's try that again:

EngLang - 43 (44)
Spesh - 45 (50)
Chem - 46 (48)
Phys - 43 (45)
German - 35 (43)
Unichem - 5.5

Agg: 204.3

ATAR: 99.85

That's more like it.

@AzureBlue: You're a maths genius and you're capable of taking two Englishes!? That's seriously awesome - you're well-rounded!

Fair enough.
Statistically dodgy? What do you mean?

I agree with VCE physics scoring system being a bit dodgy. Many capable students do physics and yet the scaling is not even about the same as chem or methods. :S
