Yeh gotta agree that I hate people who say that you're going to get highest in the class for example and all of a sudden there is pressure on you to achieve that or else look like a failure.

However I don't think people who are genuinely smart, study effectively and come out of an exam saying "I failed" are being quite honest with themselves.

asian parents: "<99  :knuppel2:, teach you to waste our money and effort , why the fuck did we come to Australia to see you not get 100  :uglystupid2:"

damn straight!
to all my asian comrades, let us all rebel! *i sound like a bloody communist*

[kingmar]

Hahaha...

We'll rebel and get a 60 as an ENTER! What a BRILLIANT IDEA!!!

Seriously, I'd cop the shame of a 99 any day, because at my rate I'm going nowhere near that.

Just tell your parents you got a 99, and hide the VCE statements.

But they'll coerce you into doing Law or something, and even if you wanted it, you wouldn't be able to get in with your real ENTER, and all would be exposed

grrr this is exactly how it is with me

all of my friends, family, teachers, school AND ppl from my community  think im going to get 99 when I KNOW that I won't, considering how i went in my exams...it makes me sad b/c i feel like i have let everyone down, when I shouldn't have that big burden on me

at least its nice to know im not the only one going thru this

Oh I'm going through the same thing except everyone expects me to get something like 95 or so...
But i keep telling myself, that i'm doing vce for myself,it's my life and whatever happens it's not the end of the world...

[cara.mel]

wow, does everyone here have it tough?
My mum has told me aiming for 99+ is putting too much pressure on myself, and my goal is a lot higher than hers
I don't understand how people can be disappointed with awesome scores, like say >95+. how can top 5% of the freaking state not be good enough =/

[vce_2007]

its most likely b/c the course that they want to do needs a high enter, such as above 95

Lol for me, my parents only care about image and i guess doing well too but thats the underlying reason... they want to be able to tell friends and family our daughter got this, what did your's get? blah blah... lol =)

Lol so good to see im not the only one

[Eriny]

lol, my parents are the same too! Except that they're adamant that they don't expect anything from me. But I know the truth of their showing-off lust. That said, I don't think I'd be able to cope with the stereotypical Asian family pressure. I think I'd go mental... moreso.

[bilgia]

damn the parents.

[joshuamorgan]

Mummy, I'm scarreeddd, VCE results in 4 days!

I'm only getting two study scores, not my ENTER, can't imagine how you guys are feeling.
