So lucky. If I could listen to my ipod id be alright. But I cant. Its gonna be like an hour and a half of looking around at being bored shitless and minimizing the loud growling noises coming from my stomach.
-
Yea we leave when we want.
Someone last year left like 15 mins in.
-
Imagine if the VCAA flipped George Clooney back on everyone...
Information presentation task: Present the below information on GEORGE CLOONEY
And as far as not starving, just remember to eat something in the morning, you should be fine

I do share your pain. It may have to be a 12-weetbix morning
-
If u wanna not starve (even though its only like 3 hours) eat some low GI food for brekky. Nutella is low GI according to the ads. Stick it on some toast. Delicious and slow release energy. Breakfast of champions.
-
OMG sif our school makes us stay there for the whole 3hrs.
-
ours does
-
haha suck it.
-
merrr :( fml
trust my school honestly. if only you knew lol
-
Lucky I go to a public school, where they don't give a rat's ass about your education.
-
private
all girls

-
No idea if we can stay or not...but just by typing this I believe I have jinxed us...
-

My school is private, we can leave whenever we want and we don't even need to wear uniform for the GAT (same with all VCE exams)
-
Our school let us leave last year. Though i stayed the whole time. This year we have to stay the whole time.
-
come to tafe. there were people writing like a minute after the exam finished and the supervisors didn't say nothing and just told them to stop writing. if that happened at school, you'd get reported, and investigated and have to go through some laborious process...
-
Free dress for all year 12s at my school all year yitzi
-
free dress?
omg
so lucky
-
have fun in your gay blazer and uniform bec :P
-

-
SHUT UP STONECOLD
and my tie
c'mon, don't lie
it's awesome .duh.
-
Wesley what? Is that a school?
-
how do you do a tie bec?... :P
I've seriously forgotten. My brother started high school, and he was like, show me how to do a tie.
I tried for like 5 minutes, and gave up. I've completely forgotten how to do it!
-
Would I be able to bring in a protein shake? Following all the rules like clear bottle, no label etc. Or will death result :buck2:
Just done my post exam workout and I really don't want my body to go 3 hours and 15 minutes without protein at such a crucial period of muscle repair :P
-
Lol blazer and tie. We have tshirts and hoodies/vnecks for the 7s to. 11s. So nice to be out of it for good in yr 12.
-
Pretty sure its only water. Not even that flavoured water crap cameron.
-
Wesley what? Is that a school?

-

St. Kilda road. Big posh private school, known for their purple uniforms, which is why I assumed
-

Same i go to public as well, shame our school tries to keep a high rep.
-
hehehe I'm at home having lunch and you're all still doing the GAT :P
-
Ah ok nah not wesley. Where is wesley?
theres one in Glen Waverley too
bloody violet crumbles.
-
private
all girls
need i say more
I go to a private girls school and pretty much everyone left early :D
-
I was starving after an hour. Lucky I was relatively secluded so no one could hear my tummy rumbling.
-
You know, I never understood how real this issue was... until today.
-
i chewed gum, kept me calm and collected during the GAT period.
-

Haha yeah faggets with their bright purple uniform, clogging up the buses and trains.
-
I had 45 minutes left when I finished. So I drew a giraffe eating a tree, then somebody lit the tree on fire, and then the giraffe caught fire.
-
1 hr in And I was starving, I finished with about an hour...so I left! :p
-
yea i got my pen confiscated so i was finished early 3 hrs i will never get back.
-
we weren;t allowed to leave D:
hungry
starving so i wrote a letter to the reader saying my brain shriveeled because i was hungry and that was the cause of my shit essay :D
-
yea i got my pen confiscated so i was finished early 3 hrs i will never get back.
LOL how???
i got bored tried to balance it on my nose. lade came over and took everything but my paper. i think she was nuts thinks i can work with no materials.

-
I couldn't bring myself to fake a hypo in the thing, everyone would hate if I started nom nom noming on a mini choc bar.
-
I like exams in which you can eat :)

Was it just me, or was the GAT somewhat relaxing?
-

For the first 30 mins I was really frustrated, knowing that I wasnt allowed to leave for 3 hours and knowing I had to write about the boring deep sea and also an opinion piece on a non-issue. The middle section I was fighting hunger pains (hunger pangs - wtf thought it was a typo). I dazed out into a few daydreams though and I sorted a lot out in my head. I was playing songs in my head too and it wasnt far of actually having my ipod.
-
I almost fell asleep. Got barely any sleep the night before, so I was amazed that I managed to retain consciousness throrought the exam.
-
I don't know about everyone else, but I did the multiple choice first, which took me an hour and 40 minutes, then spent the last bit frantically writing the text stuff. I was flat out from start to finish! Maybe I just suck...
-
I did the first piece then multiple choice, by the end of it I could hardly think so I wrote some crap and ended it with a Bear Grylls conclusion then left.
-
no wayy! get the gay part out of the way first then the rest was a breeze. I enjoyed MC, accept for the rediculous quotes section, the psychology section, and the politics section. they were horrible.
the maths section with the hearts and whatever was the easiest 3-4 marks on the paper...
-
haha, those diagrams were fkd up! had no idea how to interpret them...
-
skipped everything but the maths ones :P they're pretty fun
Haha, I was the opposite. The highlight of the paper for me was the bit at the end with the bowler's hat poem/image, as well as the quotes about government.
-
The guy supervising our GAT was so casual. He let me bring in my cup of coffee, and told everyone they can just start wherever they wanted.
-
Last year the supervisors gave us lollies throughout the GAT. This year, from some reason, I didn't know they stopped doing so. I think it was some girl grabbing a whole heap and pretending to cough into it...
BUT I WANTED LOLLIES, THAT'S WHY I WENT TO DO MY GAT. LOL

Very. I haven't ate any lollies for a long time!

My brother is diabetic and back when he did VCE, he wasn't allowed to take the GAT because they thought he would cheat with his food and/or insulin.
So yep. NO BACKUP PLAN FOR HIM.

Did he fill in the forums to be given "special permission" for candy? That was a pain...I had to miss out on a sports day for that...oh well (the irony).
