No, and frankly I don't give a damn.
All I see is a misogynistic and hateful comment.
And frankly, I hope the personal information in your profile is fake, or else your future employer will not be impressed.
Yeah, I know, it's offensive, and I probably will get dicked if the assessors find it offensive. Hopefully not. But the profile information is all honest.

It's not misogynistic to make a statement describing a state of being. It's misogynistic to imply that all women are like that, which he didn't do.

Now seriously, for the last time, stop with the derailing. Some people would like to discuss GAT solutions to their MCQs and that's up to them. If you want to have a lol about the GAT, go to the Tips thread.

I did energy, there was no shading but quality was shit so I could be wrong, anatomical detail is definitely wrong and you can't see a human.

Ok guys, I think there is some disagreement about what the GAT is actually used for and MOST of the info given out yesterday regarding the topic was 100% false (trolling), and I thought that everyone seemed to understand that, but apparently that is not the case.

So to avoid further confusion, here's the gist of it:
- Used if you need to get a derived score
- Cohort GAT aids VTAC in the scaling of your SACs
- Used if you are in the MIDDLE BAND in some course in some unis (Monash is one for example), we're not sure what they do if you have a very good GAT, but one does (in some way) aid your admission if you are in the middle band
- The MCQs are mainly used for the science/maths and humanities sections, the written sections are mainly used for English
- You can be reported for writing derogatory comments in your GAT, whether targeted at the examiner, VCAA or anyone else

That's it. I notice that on the previous page there was a fair bit of up-voting and unfortunately, down-voting too. I suspect that is due to a few misconceptions regarding the role of the GAT sparked most likely from the events of yesterday's trolling from a number of users (myself included). Some of you ma have thought that most of what was said was clearly false, however, please show some respect for those who may have misinterpreted it :)

On behalf of he trollers of yesterday, I apologise for any misinformation that may have happened :(


Common FAQs regarding trolling:
Q: Can I troll the GAT?
A: It's up to you, you can do whatever you want, however you might as well do the best you can as you have nothing too lose. If you are doing an English 3/4, I would think twice before writing some random crap in your written sections though.

Q: What is trolling in this case?
A: Don't insult anyone, any company (esp VCAA, VTAC), groups of people (includes genders, occupations, cultures, etc.). Don't swear out of context. Other than that, you should be safe.

Hey Mister Sinanator, I would like to read your essays you wrote. Can you use up your free time for a complete stranger (me), and rewrite and post what you wrote in the test time?  ;)

I will be grateful!  :)

Not sure, but you don't want to be in that boat

Honestly, I rushed it and can't exactly remember what I wrote. If I wrote it now it'd be better than what is on my GAT. Besides my English isn't crash hot but if I get time I'll PM you something.

And what are the consequences, because someone I know wrote "I just sit on a chair, poking girls on facebook to tell them I want to bang them." :s Also my own comment, when I quoted it I took it out of context. I mean in the actual piece I justified it (oh here comes destiny) but it could be an assessors daughter that likes the Janoskians.

Personally I think both comments go a bit too far past the usual "trolling" of mentioning Thivvy/Chuck Norris/whoever.

I think q23 MC is D.  It didn't say all numbers must be different, so r can be 7 as well.

I incorporated into the 2nd writing task how there's probably a rhino beetle out there that is lifting 850 times its weight right now whilst your just sitting on the couch and watching TV like a lazy prick

That sounds very crude, not sure if I would be impressed if I was your assessor.

I said "and their fans are pre-pubescent girls who would open their legs for them without a second thought". Your point is?

The likelihood that you're going to achieve a high mark for a very crude and distasteful piece of writing is quite low (I'm not saying yours is). This is just my opinion and the writing component was very important to me because I needed another 50 in at least one section of the GAT to benefit from the 6.5 aggregate points Monash University gives you towards your ATAR. Apparently my GAT from year 11 doesn't count.

Problem?

It's cute how you desperately want that 6.5 aggregate added, but why not ace your other subjects, get 1 point higher for each study score, and get the 6.5 that way? It's not crude to say that the assessor is "sitting on the couch and watching TV like a lazy prick" because it's true. My English teacher is a GAT assessor, I honestly don't think she's done anything commemorable with her life. On the other hand you have Mahmoud Chatilla who is being presented with an Order of Australia award for running from Melbourne to Sydney.

You've really come onto this forum on a high and mighty horse.

If I got a 50 for English last year, I should be able to get another 50 on the GAT without too much effort, in my opinion.

If you could get another 6.5 aggregate points that would go towards your ATAR with less effort than required to get another 6.5 aggregate study score points in 4 years, wouldn't you?

Use your brain, my friend. VCE is a competition and you should always try to maximise your ATAR (in my opinion).

I'm on a high and mighty horse? You're the one talking up your brilliant 50 for English in your GAT last year. Also, for me, my ATAR means nothing, so long as it gets me into the course I want. Whether I get 94.5, or 99.95 makes no difference to me.

Also, VCE may be a competition, but the biggest competition is yourself. As a person, you should always aim to be different today, to the person you were yesterday. Not everyone has the ability to get 90+, or 45+ in English, or whatever, but today's persuasive topic was about success, and if you really base success on a 4 digits, then I'd really love to read what you wrote.

I'd like to point out the fact that in my commend that you last replied to, I constantly said that everything contained within it was "in my opinion".

It does not necessarily represent the views of any body other than myself.

I will base my perceived success in VCE based on a four digit number. Call me shallow, call me stupid, I couldn't care less. At the end of the day it's upto me to decide how "successful" I was as that is a very subjective term and is most definitely open to interpretation.

A score that I may consider myself very successful in VCE with may be a mediocre score to someone else.

You completely disregarded my commend about taking advantage of a medium to maximise your ATAR. Despite the fact that you don't care what your ATAR is, as long as you get into your course of choice, wouldn't you try your best to achieve another 6.5 aggregate points? I'm not sure what couse you want to get into, but I think that he higher your ATAR is, the higher your chances of getting into a course are (generally speaking, some courses may be exempt).

In regards to everyone not believing that Monash gives you bonus aggregate points towards your ATAR for getting a 50 on the GAT, I was told this by a teacher at my school (actually he told me that they add 9 aggregate points), and when I consulted with people on this forum, VegemitePi told me that this was in fact true but the increment was 6.5 aggregate points as opposed to 9.

I'm simply passing on information that was given to me from two reliable sources.
Aspiring doctor. Why? For the same four reasons as everybody else. Chicks, money, power and chicks.

It says consider 6 different digits at the start so when you find out r>7 you know C is the answer. I was confused for 30 seconds until I realised it said digits and not numbers.

I did some research:

Monash only cares about your GAT if your ATAR is lower than the ATAR you'd get based on your GAT marks. Getting 50 is not necessary and does not guarantee an increase.
The bonus isn't a cut and dried +6.5, it's any number between +0 and +9 based on how big the difference is
This will have an extremely small impact ("makes little difference") if you're applying for MBBS or any other course that requires a folio/interview etc.
