completly from memory its been a few yearx
vce is a scaled score out of 100 where you are ranked against everyone else who did it that year. its effectivly a % so if u get an enter of 70. you went better then 70%. same as why the maximum is 99.95 or something like that _________________ Remember to trust me, I am an Engineer.
I ended up getting 86.50. not as high as I was hoping (92ish) but I think I got lowered in some studies because other students at school didn't do well in exams [this all makes sense if you understand the ENTER score calculations]. But meh, still gets me into my first preference, Swinburne Robotics/Computer Science Double Degree, if not robotics single.
All the best to the others who have VCE still to come _________________ Chris, Team Collo

86 is great! congratulations id be surprised if anyone is ever happy with their results haha. i dont know anyone that is at least.
If you dont think thats any decent at our school we got thrown a piss up for everyone that got over 60 UAI (enter in melbourne??) and a huge total of 9 people were invited in our entire year
Sucks they rank you based on the mean performance of your school. i would have thought that would jack your score up? cause when i did mine i took all the hardest subjects and even tho i did mediocre at them got a pretty respectable UAI out of it cause everyone else did so bad
have to read up on how they work that stuff out anyway. thats a good way to whittle away a night
Nuh Glen it works the other way around. Your subject study score is found by this (simplified) method:
1) School Assests Courseworks (SAC) are tallied up and your are ranked within your year level.
2) After the exams your rank is measured with your exam mark to further rank you into other schools.
This means schools with easier SACs or more leniant markers aren't getting any benefit, but students who are higher levels then their peers are. So I may be one of the best Further Students in the state, but because my classmates aren't, my score would lower a bit. (I also made a few mistakes which is a death-wish in further, and lowered my study score a bit more then i was expecting).
Hope that makes more sense , we got a whole booklet explaining how ENTER scores work...but cbf learning anything more about High School. _________________ Chris, Team Collo

Ah, the ole complicated school scoring test. 12 years of emprisonment to be eventually designated your worth with a single number
Up in QLD we run the shitty OP system with QCS exams. OP1 being the best, 25 being pants. Think Marto picked up an OP1 while my mediocore efforts brought in a 19...

Best memory of my HSC was a chick in my Physics class studying non stop whilst me and a friend downloaded notes and read them through the morning before, she managed to miss 2 pages of the exam and did shithouse. _________________ ( •_•)

lmao people like that are funny as. i didnt even read a textbook for the 2 weeks coming up to the exam (was building cobra instead XD) and still yanked out an 89.35 hahah.
study is pointless anyway. just learn it when they teach it to you and its irrelevant.
oh well. no employer even looks at your school results after your 20 so even if you do bad its meaningless lolz _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts
