Strange...

Apparently, a friend of mine was overhearing a conversation with coordinators, and they said that VCAA called them in relation to my Italian Oral, and had commended me on how well I had done only 2 days after the Oral...!

I think there are 3 distinct things wrong with this:

1. I did TERRIBLY! I paused, faltered, mucked up my intro, said English words... Everything you are not supposed to do in an Oral!

2. Aren't you only meant to tell the assessors your student number? Not the school you go to, not your name, nothing. I know I didn't, as this invades privacy etc..

3. Why would they do this in the first place? I'm sure VCAA would keep results and not disclose this information.

Any ideas, or am I just overreacting? I didn't do well at all!

This sounds a bit fishy ... are you sure your friend didn't mishear?

Your examiners shouldn't know who you are. If they did, they should have had another examiner examine you instead (according to my teachers who were examiners).

I didn't know them at all... But I reckon she was lying... They can't disclose that information anyway! Thanks Ninwa!

People are strange, when you're a stranger.

because she was trying to encourage happy, and make her feel better? that thought about falsey getting her hopes up probably never even crossed her mind

so I agree with jeffree, her friend was trying to be nice

O.o

i wouldnt say something like that to a friend. what if at the end of the year the mark didnt turn out so great "like her friend had said" [not saying it will happen to happy, coz i believe she woulda done great, ive said it countlessly to her previously]


thats just messing with something u shouldnt. saying something like " you probably did GREAT u have nothing to worry about" woulda been more encouraging i reckon.


lol as iff vcaa consultes a students teacher... ur only a number to them
