Since heaps of people here are at school/uni and love to complain about studying, it deserves its own thread.

Homework stinks! [Rage]

Right now I'm about to start an assignment that I've since learnt was due yesterday [Facepalm] Although, this will be my first late one and is in my last semester, so it was bound to happen eventually.

Just to update, some guy on that thread (but in a different campus) eventually threatened me and my lady friend physically (Westies [Facepalm] ), and so the unit coordinator wiped the entire thread, banned students from going on boards that are not their own campus', and is taking the threats and stuff to the Head of School for disciplinary action. I don't know if I'll be disciplined for my part in it, but I made it a point to have a fair tone, and the other people were going nuts, disparaging me for being a gamer, saying that I must have nothing better to do since I answer basically every question on the boards, questioning my ability to satisfy women, even. Waste of space bogans. [monkey]

Anyone have a rough idea of what marks you need to be pulling to get a 70 ATAR?

Ask your careers advisor about the STAT. Two hour test, costs $52, get 90+ easy. Worked for me. ^_^

Shiversul, Try atarcalc.com/...

EDIT: If I get a 30 for all the subjects I have (Further Maths, English Language, Accounting, Legal Studies and Economics) including my fail of 26 in IT, I'll get a 68!

I'll be happy with anything about 70 so seems reachable to me :D

And I've done pretty bad in all my SACs, averaging about a C.

Guess I'm not going to Uni :/

Do that STAT thing Desi keeps harping on about. It's an equivalency test by the sounds of it.

Yeah it basically tests your smarts. It looks at your ability to read information from different presentations (graphs, prose, maths) and use that information to answer questions. The answers are all basically obvious if you are widely read enough to be able to look at any diagram and figure it out.

dont worry about you sacs man they change with you exam mark its a complicated process but i short of what i have been told SAC's results are scaled up and down with your exam results. so if you f up on the exam they go down but if you do well like an A your sac'c could come up to an A :D

How can that determine an ATAR though?
I am significantly more intelligent than what my marks at school suggest.
The test wouldn't calculate in the lazy :P

And that's not to say I'm going to be lazy for exams.
I have been lazy, but I'm not going to literally study every second of the day, which would be the only way to reach true full potential.

Have this report I need to submit tomorrow. Its really easy...so I can't be arsed doing it. I only have 300 words to go and I'm pretty sure I know the answer to the final section.

See, the bad thing is, I haven't really given much of a **** about this paper so for all I know its average or worse. Still, cbf, just want to watch Dexter.

I assume that it tests your overall problem-solving skills and grasp of the English language. It'll do a better job at factoring in the lazy than your exams since they're more tests of memory than understanding.
