ohhh okay that must be moree stressful!! I remember being super stressed for mid years because they were the first exam (term 1 was assignments)

i'll start soon!

i guess technically they’re our final year exams, since they’re our last exams before year 12.

ahhhhh the stress

Some of the content you’re doing in your subjects now will be continued to year 12 as year 11 is just the foundations. I think the exams are really important not necessarily for the marking aspect but to test your knowledge of the basics needed for Year 12. So it’s more of a diagnostic feedback kind of thing. After all your Year 11 marks don’t count so use it as an opportunity to improve!

How about Early Entry into universities? Apparently Year 11 Does Count in respect to that?

That’s an exception, although many factors are considered for early entry. Reports, leadership roles, Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander etc.

I see. Thank you. Just gotta do rlly rlly hard for year 12 then.

I suppose so

Do you guys wish that the calculation for 100% of ATAR only comes from the externals?

 

[Etho_x]

Do you guys think that the calculation for 100% of ATAR only comes from the externals?

No it’s a 50/50 balance internals and externals

 

[Mαɳα]

No, I'm not questioning. DO you wish it should be a full 100% weighting on externals?

edit: quote for evidence, meant to say wish. apologies.

 

[Etho_x]

No, I'm not questioning. DO you think it should be a full 100% weighting on externals?

Ah sorry I misunderstood, no I don’t think it should all be based on externals. That’s just like saying that one test is the determining factor if you get a good ATAR or a bad ATAR. I think it’s good to have diversity of different mediums of assessments (e.g take home tasks and tests) so that people have different ways to show their skill in whatever they’re best at.

 

[Mαɳα]

But I like externals since every student gets the same test. So imo 100% all for nothing in there.

And ur rankings in class don't matter due to only the final exam counting.

I can understand your reasoning although I guess my opinion is maybe the externals have more weighting than the internals but I can also understand that different schools will have internals of varying difficulty. The only similarity is that everyone has to complete specific outcomes so I can see where you’re coming at

 

[Vikhil]

Is it cause of those syllabus dot-points for all ur subjects? So yeah everyone has to fulfil course levels.
