End of year exams here in Vic, Aus, are finished. For me, at least, I had my last one today. Others might have a few more in the next couple of days.

Yeah, I don't think I did very well. I'll probably get an ENTER score of about 30 :(

Apparently, this is a good year for ENTER scores, though. Maybe I'll get bumped up.

You'll live. That's what counts.

I finished mine yesterday! I'm at BSSC, you?

B... S... S... C?

No, what's/where's that?

I still have a week to go :mad:

All but one, I just had one this morning. Chemistry, Physics, the two maths, English Lit and History.

Whoa. You're Australian, right? Aren't all Aus exams meant to be in sync?

I had Eng first, then the two maths, then IS and History on the same day, then Religion today (Catholic school :rolleyes:).

I got a 2 back in the day. Suprised me, to be honest. I was aiming for a 5.

Dude, you got a NINETY-SEVEN POINT FIVE? That's insane. I'll be lucky to get a 50.

Well, it was in '03, so maybe it was a bit less then.

But my school did really well (in your face, private schools!). We had 5 OP1s, 7 OP2s and another 15 or so better than OP5. For a grade of maybe 200, that wasn't bad.

You were aiming for a 5? I was aiming for the equivilent of a 14. :p

I got a 3 though. :D

Crap, that means I have to aim for a 1 -.- (medicine)
*feels intimidated*

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

I want a 14 for programming. Below that, I hope to get enough for TAFE.

Well guys, thanks for making me feel retarded >_>

It was my pleasure. :D

Seriously though, you'll do fine. No one ever does worse than they think, and everyone does better. It's because people always assume the worst.

Well, I think I've done decent on everything except RE, which nobody really cares about. My best subject is IS, which I've burnt up (my teacher said that if I was getting those kind of marks across the board, I'd be a shoe-in for uni).

Incidentally, you know that fat/Asian/nerdy (select one or more variables) kid who flaunts his intelligence like a douche? Ours got caught with a phone in the exam. BURNT.

I still have a week to go :mad:

Well, here in the US, we got a month left... before our midterms.

You're all talking in a weird and wonderful code. :p

I have no idea what a 3, 5 or 14 is, other than the average runs scored by the top Australian batsman.

I'm really glad that phase of my life has passed.

I'm not 100% about it either, it's a Queensland system.

I went through using the NT/SA system a long time ago.
